CRAZY SNAKES PROTESTS
S|LENCED BY DEATH
Indian Chief Always Charged
That Whites Had Robbed
His Tribe.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. April. g.
Crazy Snake. the Indian responsible for
the last uprising in Okla homa, died yes
terday. according to a dispatch received
from Vinita. The old chiefs end came
near Old Hickory. the stamping ground
of the Creeks in 1908.
The Indian had always contended that
his tribe was robbed of its land by the
whites. On several occasions he went
to Washington, where he appeared before
the Senate.
In 1889 a grandfather of Crazy Snake
concluded treaty with the United States,
which the Indians have always claimed
guaranteed to the Greeks undisturbed
enjoyment of their institutions and tribal
form of government. Crazy Snake pro-
tested several times that this treaty had
been broken. At one time he protested
personally to President Roosevelt.
When the government, about thirteen
years ago, decided to divide the land in
Indian and Oklahoma territories among
the Indians, and teach them to support

themselves by becoming farmers. Crazy
Snake gathered about him nearly 2,OoC
kindred spirits and started to make trou-
BILE. Before the attempted revolt had
been put down Crazy Snake and several
of his leutenantS had been put in irons.
Another attempted revolt came in Oc-
tober 1900, and again Crazy Snake and
some Of his band were arrested.
The final trouble came March %, 1909,
after Crazy Snake had returned from d
visit to Washington. 1t was started when
officers attempted to arrest some negro
cattle thieves. The officers We're fired on
by the negroes and half-breeds, and re-
treated. When they returned later the
outlaws had been reinforced by some of
Crazy Snakes band. and a battle took
place, in which several were killed. Crazy
Snake himself took personal command OF
the band.
For several days fighting continued
The militia was called out, and large
posses of deputy sheriffs were made UP
to chase down the Indians and their sup
porters. Crazy Snake was finally cap
tured, and the outbreak ended rather
tamely.

Instructions to Delegates.

A statement issued by the Taft bureau
says:
"A review of the state and congressional
district conventions Of 1908 clearly shows
the practice in various states in the mat
ter of instructing delegates to the ma
tional conventions. In that year the fol-
lowing states, in their state conventions,
did not instruct delegates to the republic
an convention at Chicago:
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island. New York,
New Jersey, Delaware and Nevada, a
total of nine states.
In addition a large number of states
did not instruct their congressional dis
trict delegates. but the practice was not
uniform. In some states the congress
sional districts followed the lead of the
state convention and did not instruct. In
others, instructions We're given In cob
gressional districts although the state
convention did not instruct, and vice
versa. Those states which afforded nota-
BILE examples of failure to instruct m
congressional district conventions in 1:)1S
were Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, ILL.,
nois in two districts. although the stat,
had candidate of it's own: Iowa in three
districts. Maryland In two districts. Mich
igan, one district; Mississippi, one Gis-
trict: Missouri, three districts; South Car
DINA, three districts; Tennessee, two dis
tricts: Virginia, four districts; Hawaii
and Porto Rico.
Practically all the uninstructed districts
in the south in 1908 resulted from bolt
ing or 'rump' conventions. which were
held at the same time as the regular
conventions, and practically all in the
same hall with them. This year the
overwhelming sentiment for President
Taft throughout the south, and the high
regard in which he is held there. re-
