FAVORS
/: DISTRICT AGENTS
Senate Would Not Agree to Cutting
OF the Oklahoma District
Agents.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Friends of
the Oklahoma Indians .triumphed in
the senate today when the senate re-
fused to accept the conference report
on the Indian appropriation bill. The
bin was sent back to the conference
committee and Senator Curtis of Kan
sas was appointed to succeed Senator
Gamble of South Dakota as the SEN
ate member of the conference commit
tee. Senator Curtis is d warm advo-
cate of the district Indian agents.
The chief reason for sending the bill
back to conference was that the CON
|ferees had agreed to strike out the
senate amendment providing 100000
flor paying the expenses and salaries
|of the eighteen district Indian agents
lin Oklahoma.
Senator Curtis today continued his
warm appeal in favor of retaining the
[district agents. He started the de-
|bate on the floor of the senate last
Saturday. 1t is hardly believed the
senate will agree to any bill not pro-
viding for the continuance of the dis
trict agents and the next report from
the conference committee is expected
to allow the senate amendment to be
|enacted into law.
The amendment in the Indian bill,
appropriating 100000 for the trans
fer of the 256 Apache prisoners of
war from Fort Sill, Okla, to New
Mexico, brought out bitter opposition
from the senator's from New Mexico
and Arizona, who declared that out
breaks between the white settlers in
New Mexico and the Indians would
follow the transfer.

CIRCUS RATE TOO CHEAP.
Corporation Commission Raises the
Tariff on Ringina Brothers.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 19-The cor
poration commission today refused
the Frisco railroad permission to trans
port Ringing Brothers circus of
eighty-two cars, from Oklahoma City
to Tulsa during the month of Septem-
ber for $3.50, and has notified the rail
road company that it will not approve
any charge of less than $500. The
refusal is based on the fact that from
figures submitted by the railroad com
panies in various rate hearings at the
lowest rate possible the movement
would result in an actual loss to the
railroads.
The commission takes the position
that if this business is handled at a
loss, some other class of traffic will
have to bear the added burden.

DEMOCRAT LEADERS
WELL SATISFIED

leaders of the national political cam

organizations were in good running
order by the first or second week in
September
In the remarkable campaign thar is
now before the American voters there
is one incident that the old line poli-
ticians are marveling over and that
lis the condition of the national demo-
cratic committee.
For more than a week on the fourth
and fifth floors of the iffice building
lat 200 Fifth Avenue, the national DEM
ocratic committee has been playing
in mid-season form. The bureau has
been organized and manned in each
detail The corps of employees have
fallen into their respective duties like
old timers.
The average voter who is being ap-
pealed to- perhaps does not realize
the vast amount of work required to
educate him to the views of the re-
|spective leaders.
If there is anything in a flying start,
Wilson and Marshall have certainly
secured that start

City have commented daily on the
scenes of activity around democratic
headquarters and the deathlike ST
lence that preVades at republican and
progressive headquarters. But the

more activity than the Taft headquar.

the Bull Moosers" are trying to or.

The temporary illness of Chairman
w. F. McCombs might have caused
a slackening up in the activity of the
Wilson forces under ordinary circum.
stances, but this remarkable young
man had looked far ahead and the
bureau chiefs have gone rapidly ahead

Combs and will fulfill them for the

His illness was brought about much
by the pre-conyention contest and
then he insisted on giving all his time

a thing in sight. An open window
told where the crowd went, and for all
the raiders knew, took the plant
with them. AS diversion, the party
left the building by the rear stairs,
hoping to throw the waiting crowd off
the scent. 1t had that effect until the
next joint was reached, and then fully
500 collected to watch the result. BY
the time the raiders reached the third
station the door was politely opened
and free rein was given by the at
