OPPOSE
OF TRIBAL ROLLS
FILED AGAINST OPEN
ING ROLLS TO ADMIT MlSSlS
SlPPl CHOCTAW INDIANS.

Washington, Feb. G.-Protesting the
reopcning of tribal rolls in Oklahoma
which President Taft himself haA
termed to be as dangerous as Pan
lora's box, several members of the
! Oklahoma delegation in congress and
representatives. and attorneys from.
the Choctaw nation Thursday appear
cd before Secretary Fisher of the de-
rartment Of interior. urging him to
discountenance any effort of the Mis-
issippi Choctaws to share in the tri
bal moneys OF the western branch OF
the tribe to the extent of several
hundred thousand dollars.
The Mississippi Choctaws now have
a bill in congress, although Secre-
tary Fisher refused to commit him
self definitely on the proposition, he
made 1t plain that he was in sym
pathy with the claims of the okla
homa Choctaws, that the Mississippi
members OF the tribe should not share
in tribal moneys now held by the
United States treasury and that the
Mississippi red men already had been
adequately cared for by the govern
ment.
Secretary Fisher declared he would
make closer study OF the case and in
the near future he will appear before
the house committee on Indian af-
fairs, at which time he is expected
to at once and for all time nip in the
bud all attempts to reopen the tribal
rolls In Oklahoma.
The delegation showed Mr.. Fisher
that after the treaty OF 1880, which
was made by the government with
the Indians, in order to get the Choc-
taws to remove west of the Missis
sippi river about 276 In/dns who
did not belong to Oklahoma were al
lotted in Mississippi. the heads of
families getting $40 acres of land;
those over ten years 800 acres, and
those under 10 years receiving eighty
acres.
In 1888 it as found there were
about 5000 Choctaws remaining in
Mississippi who could not be given
the full allotment because the gov
ernment had disposed of the major
ity of its lands in that state and as
a consequence the Indians received
half allotment and script in lieu of
the remaining amount due them.
Much of this script was either lost or
traded by the Indians. 1t was shown
that by the act Of 1852, the govern
ment awarded the Mississippi Choc-
taws SS72.000 as payment of the
script not taken up to settle in full
the claims of the Mississippi Indians
The 10000 descendants of these In
dians, who Representative Carter
claims "are Indians for revenue pur-
poses only" now seek to share in
the tribal funds of the Oklahoma
Choctaws claiming that they have
been mistreated by the government
and their kinsmen. Those in tho del
ogation appearing before Secretary
Fisher today were Senator Owen.
Senator Gore, Representatives Carter,
Ferris and Davenport, Dick Rogers,
Governor Locke Of the Choctaws, Pat
