TO PAY UP BILLS

Washington, March 23--That the in
debtedness Of the Kiowa, Comanche
and Apache Indians to merchants and
others within or adjoining the reserya-
tions may be paid. the house Indian
affairs committee yesterday officially
sanctioned the recommendation of the
interior department that $250,00O be
withdrawn fro mthe tribal funds now
in the hands Of the government and
devoted TO Strengthening up the Indian
affairs. The action Of the committee
is due much TO the efforts Of Repre-
sentative Scott Ferris and Lieutenant
Ernest Stecker, of the Kiowa agency.
who has been in Washington for sew
eral weeks working for some such re-
suit.
The Indians will be placed on such
footing financially that the merchants
and others holding mortgages against
the Indians win not be forced to fore
close them and the property Of the
reds will be retained by them Con
ditions among the Indians have been
particularly bad for the past three
years, lease holders being unable to
pay the Indian land owners owing to
|droughts
The committees action practically
assures the Incorporation Of an amend
ment to the Indian appropriation bill
providing for the distribution of the
money when that measure reaches the

A Fine Play.

What the Fort Worth Record says.
The Harrison Stock Co, opened It's
engagement at the Savoy last night to
a crowded house, why by repeated ap-
plause showed they enjoyed the per-
formance in every sense. The play
presented was one written by Mr.. Har-
rison for Texas people, entitled "The
Lone Star Ranch" and it was a rep
resentative audience of Texans that
witnessed the first performance and
pronounced it a success in no uncertain
terms.
The story of the play is a pretty one.
1t deals with a wealthy Texas ranch
man, party of Chicago folks, who
while on their way to San Antonio in
motor car are compelled to stay over
night at the ranch because of tire
trouble In the party is a pretty young
woman whom the rancher falls in love
with, but her sentiments regarding the
differences Of the North and South hold
her love in restraint until the last act
when she returns to the ranch sing
ing his favofite son. Dixie which
she had said when she could sing
would be her answer The reforming
of the william by the hero, was one of
the surprises of the play and helped
to show the big hearted ranch owner
as type of Texan who is always ready
to give all an equal chance and plays
the game ON the square.
Mr. Harrison as the Texas ranch.
man and Mrs. Harrison as the girl
from the north, took exceptionally
good care of their parts, while the 9TH

the average stock company actors.

EASY VICTORY FROM TULSA

The Vinita high school again proved
their claim to the state championship
last evening when they easily defeated
the squad representing the Tulsa high
school. At no time during the game
were the locals in danger of losing and
at the half Vinita put in her second
team but they were just as good at
the regulars and Tulsa could no no
more with them than with the regulars.

acceptance to the statewide challenge
issued by the locals, practically gives

EGYPTIAN PAPYUs 1922 FEET LONG
FOUND.
Magnificent Copy Of Theban Book o.
the Dead" Now in British
Museum.

A remarkable Egyption papyrus, or
ancient scroll, of absorbing interest,
not only to philologists and scholars,
but to the whole world, has recently
been presented to the nation by Mrs.
Mary Greenfield, and has now been
added to the Egyptian collection of the
British Muesum. The papyrus, which,
with one exception, is the longest in
the world, is described as a magnifi-
cent copy of the Theben Book of the
Dead, to which is added rich collec-
tion of invocations, addresses and
hymns to Amen-Ra. the great god of
Thebes. But the mere description falls
far short of the suggestive beauty and
actual contents of the scroll.
Briefly. the paprus was written for
Princess Nesi-ta-nob-asher, the daugh-
ter of the great Queen Nesi-khensu.

some time between 1040 and 1000 B. G.

and 20la inches wide, appears to be

publish faithful translation of the
scroll for the benefit of scholars and
