TEENS Upon Which Indians Are
Willing to Enter Into Contract.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 20. -
Apparently nearly half Of the popuia'
ton Of Pawhuska, Okla, is in Wash

before Assistant Secretary of the Ia
terror Adams this afternoon rs 10
whether. or not 100000 acres of OsaSe
land not covered by the Foster blank
ct lease shall be leased for oil and
gas purposes.
The entire Usage council clothed
in gaily colored blankets, led by
, Chief A. II. Brown, stormed the in
terror department this afternoon and
urged that the lands be divided into
four blocks of 10000 acres each ana
leased to the Uncle Sam Oil company,
Henry j. OConnell. w. M. Dial and
John A. Bird, and that oil leases be
executed by Chief Brown by April !,
next. The proposed leases take in
all the area of the unleased portion
Of the Usage reservation, but 1t is
agreed that there shall be no con
flict in acreage, the proposed lesses
agreeing to drill 1876 wells upon the
land within two years from the ap-
proval of the leases. 1t is also stip-
ulated that written consent must first
be obtained from the lesses 10 pay a
royalty of one-eighth upon a basis

at Pawhuska in addition to paying all

1t is proposed to divide the Usage
acreage between the four lessees IN
blocks of nine sections of land each,
the lessees agreeing to drill in the
center of each block. BY this method
it is thought the drilling of 1876 wells

FRANK HOLLOWAY
DRAWS I YEARS
FORMER TULSAN Is CONVICTED
AT VERNON, TEN, OF HELP
ING IN ROBBERIES.
He Liked TO Do DRAGGING
Formerly Ran the Old Moore Horel
Hcrc-Was Recently Arrested In
Chicago Where He Lied.

The strange andsspectaoular career
of Frank Holloway, bank robber and
all around criminal, once joint
keeper came to sudden end yester-
day at Vernon. Tex, when he plead
ed guilty to two cases against him in
connection with the Harold Tex, bank
robbery two years ago. He was sem
fenced to seven years in the penlten-
tiary
Holloway achieved national fame a
few weeks ago when, upon being ar
rested in Chicago for picking pock-
cts, he startled the detectives Of the
country by reciting a sensational
Jesse James story of career full
of daring holdups, robberies and
other criminal escapades. For time
he was taken seriously but when word
was received from oklahoma officers
that Holloway had always been gifted
with a great amount Of the braggido-
clio spirit. and when 1t was found for
certain that many of the big rob-
berries he declared he pulled off were
done by entirely different persons, his
he was turned over to the Texas au-
thorities, who had direct evidence
against him in connection with the
two train robberies there, for whlch'
he had been convicted once before,
had taken an apepal and then jumped
his bond.
Holloway for long time headed a
gang Of train robbers in Oklahoma,
and most of the big deals in this sec-
ton were laid directly at his door. lie
is thought by local officers to be
demented, as was indicated by
his amazing Chicago story.
Holloway, after killing man in
Tulsa and paying several fines here
for selling liquor, went to oklahoma
City. one day he was decoyed to
Paclingtown there, and upon arriv-
ing. he was shot by two men, thought
to have been former members of his
gang, who haG been double-crossed
by Holloway. Holloway was taken to
a hospital, but even when his physl-
stolidly refused to give the names OF
his asailants, merely declaring that
II he got out Of the hospital, he would
get them. lie had I'm the meantime
jumped several bonds in Texas and
Oklahoma and thus found IL necessary
to leave this state. He was next heard
from In Chicago. The principal part
of his story there consisted Of fake
Of how he pulled off the big
robbery at New Westminster, British
and which was found later
to have been every bit false and mere
ly the result Of an outbreak OF Hollo-
ways much edidenced egotism.
While in Tulsa Holloway conducted
the Eagle" hotel at the Frisco
tracks and Main street which after
ward was known as the Moore ho-
tel and which was noted as a hang
out for other disreputable characters,
and as a gambling house.
Holloway's iron nerve vas displayed
here az one time when. in a raid on
his establishment" a cash register
was seized. Holloway Instituted suit
for the recovery of the register and
finally succeeded in getting II away
from the county authorities.
Now that ne will be safely behind
the bars of state penitentiary his old
cronies and the public generally in
Oklahoma will breathe a sigh Of great
relief.

NO AMENDMENTS SECURED
DEMOCR NTIC LEADERS RESIST
Ed ALI ATTACKS BY
REPUBLICANS.
Debates were HUMOROUS
Republican Leader Mann Gives Dem
Ocrats The Benefit of His Wit
and Ready Tongue.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. -- The
democrat.' chemical tariff revision
bill was agreed to without change in
the measure No final vote was taxi
en- but the bill win be passed Mt the
beginning of tomorrows session. An
agreement was reached between Re
publican 3eader Mann and Democrat
ic Leader Underwood to defer the
final vote untll that time so as not
to interfere with Presidents Taf's
reception tonight. No amendments
were put into the bill, although the
republicans offered many and got
some democratic support.
The days debates took a facetous
turn when Representative Mann
charged that the bill increased duty
on vanilla and reclted the fact that
the duty on vanilla beans had been
raised.
Representative Harrison Of New
York who had charge Of the meas
ure for the democrats, retorted that
ordinary vanilla was derived from
cloves and had actually been reduce
ed in the bill.
Mr.. Mann made an attack on the
soap section and declared that the
democrats had raised the duty on in
gradients of common soap.
Don't Need Any Soap.
I'VE cannot expect the democrats to
be Interested in soaps" said Mr..
Mann. They consider all soaps un-
necessary luXuries."
Representative Harrison replied
that some republican householders
need a great deal Of soap" and Rep
resentative Cullop, democrat, tln-
diana) insisted that Mr.. Mann was
fighting for free soap, so that the
republicans can go back and soft
soap the people"

an increase in the duty on lemon
Juice and lime juice by saying these
articles We're chiefly used in soda

"Ah, now you would drive the

ROOSEVELT MAY
BE A WITNESS
RAY INVESTIGATING COMMIT
MITTEE MAY SUMMON THE
FORMER PRESIDENT.
PROBE IS TO Be deep
Investigation Has Developed series
of Circumstances Which Will
BE PrOlcd to Bottom.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.-Former
President Roosevelt as witness in
the Ray case was one of the possibil-
tiles developed today In the investiga-
ton which the house committee on eX-
penditures in the war department is
making into charges against Major
Beecher b. Ray, an army paymaster.
The committee has already decided TO
subpoena Charles p. Taft, Of Cincin-
natl, brother of President Taft.
II favor calling Theodore Roose-
welt and everyone who had anything
to do with the retention of Major Ray
In the United States army" declared
Representative Difenderfer, of Penn
sylvania, member of the commit
tee.
I'VE ought TO know If Mr.. Roose-
welt used the same tactics in this case
that he did in fomenting the Panama
revolution. The Ray case has devel-
oped, since the committee began
to delve into it. a series of circum-
stances which should be probed to the
very bottom.
Thorough Investigation Needed.
"On the face of such evidence as
we have already before us, there Is APP
parent a condition in the army that
calls for thorough investigation. The
committee intends to go to the very
top whether IL be chief Of staff or the
prtsident OF the United States. The
majority leaders of this committee
are with me in this.
The subpoena OF Charles p. Taft
and the suggestion that Colonel Roose-
Welt might be called are sequences
of the charge that Major Ray was
active in politics during the Chicago
convention which nominated Presl-
dent Taft. President Roosevelt was
closing his term when Major Ray was
ordered from the Philippines to Chi
cago.
The only subpoena issued today was
for General Tasker II. Bliss. now at
Fort Totten, n. Y. General Bliss was
at the war department several years
ago when charges were made against
Major Ray.
