WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER Of
INTEREST To 0KLAH0MANS

Washington, June 5.-That there
VIII be a sweeping investigation OF
the administration of Indian affairs in
the United States, and that this pro-
posed congressional inquiry will lead
to radical reforms in present meth
DDS of handling the business of the
red wards of the nation, is the belief
of members of congress.
In recent years vast sums have
been spent by the government in
handling the business of the Indians
and a great per cent of this money
has been taken from the tribal treas
uries. The Oklahoma Indians have
been forced to spend hundreds of
thousands of dollars on the upkeeo
of an administrative force, the wis
dom of which is still under question.
Years after years, Notwithstanding

Senator Owen is pushing his fight
for the adoption of rule limiting
debate in the senate. At the present
time any senator may speak until he
gets ready to stop, no matter how
many important matters are pending,
and this has resulted in delaying
much vital business. Senator owen
feels the adoption of a cloiture rule
whereby the majority could rule in
such cases, would work to the advan-
tage Of all. Incidentally such a re-
form would prevent prolonged debate
on the tariff bill.

The department of agriculture is
preparing to make soil surveys in
every county of Oklahoma and it is
expected that this work, which will
be thorough in character, will do
much to increase the already large
agricultural output Of the state. In
other states where soil survey work
has been carried on for the past sew
eral years the farmers have been en-
abled to plant crops most suited to

The expiration of a number of old

An open clash between Hawaii and
Japan was narrowly avorted last night
when Hawaiian farmer whose name
could not be learned, accompanied by
his wife were evicted from n Hote;
street nickelodeon. The amusement hall
is conducted by Japanese, and the pho.
nograph records are in the vernacuar
of the Nipponcse. Likewise the pictures
showed scenes of japanese life and
people and were explained by Jap,
anese spieler in the japanese language.
The Hawaiian did not know this un.
til he had paid admission for himself
and spouse. He demonstrated with the
japanese ushers, and insisted that he
had been swindled out of twenty cents
to see and hear things which he could
not understand. The excited Japanese
audience did not understand the ma
ture of the argument started by the
Hawaiian and in the melee which fol.
lowed the indignant Hawaiian and his
wife were led out of the Nipponese

value per acre. Chairman l.. C. Ables

of the land at $3.50 per acre, while

CHANCE FOR ENLISTED MEN

WASHINGTON May l5.-President
wilson today gave his approval to a
radically new policy in regard to the
navy personnel proposed by Secretary
Daniels. This is to open door for
enlisted men to win commissions. The
first opportunity win come in the an.
pointment of the additional officers in
the pay corps.
Congress at the last session provided
for thirty additional pay officers, ten
to be appointed after July /, 1913. I'm.
der President Taft twenty places were
hlled last year. Secretary Daniels has
decided to have the examinations for
candidates for these places held the lat
ter part of July in order that ambi.
tious men in the. service may have time
to study and prepare themselves. There
will be examinations for enlisted men
IL China the philippines. and Mexico,
hh'fq&herea@tn VessSlss of in, navy are
stationed.
According to the law, candidates for
assistant postmaster must be between
the ages iof twenty-one and twenty.six
years, and must pass a physical and
mental examination in order to qualify
for appointment.
1t is believed by Mr.. Daniels that the
effect upon recruiting will be advan-
tageous,. if the, enlisted men can have
chance to rise. Hitherto very few
men have entered rhe commissioned per.
sonnel OF the navy except by way of
the naval academy, although warrant
officers under thirty-fve years of age
are eligible, to become ensigns. The
President and Secretary Daniels have
other grades under consideration with
reference to this policy.
