BOND ISSUE
Citizens Seem to Favor Projected
Railroad and $150,000 Is

Gulfport, Miss, May 8---A reso.
luton recommending the holding Of
an election by the people for the
voting of a bond issue of $50, 900
has been prepared by the Gulfport
Commercial Club and presented to
the Board Of City Commissioners.
The bond issue is for the purchase
of right-of-way for the Gulfport and
Western Railway between Gufport
and Coyington, la, and site for a
passenger station in this city.
Due to the favorable comment on
the proposition it is thought that the
election will not only be called, but
carried in favor of the bond issue.
There is one million and half dol

.CHOCTAW CASES IN
NEXT CONGRESS
Those Who Can Make Proef Of
Descent Are Wanted BY Sub
Committee To Enroll.

Crews and Gantwell, land attor-
seys Of st. Louis, through Luke w,
Conerly, have writteA-C Capt, Earnest,
ST., of Biloxi, one Of the heirs of the
Choctaw funds to be distributed by
the government, to the effect that a
subcommittee had reported on the
Harrison bill to the committee ON
Indian affairs, recommending that
those who could make proof of des-
cent should be enrolled. 1t is said
nearly all the committee members
agreed with the report Of the sub
committee. But owing to the time
taken by important appropriation
measures at the winter session of
1912 Congressman Harrison could
not get action on this matter.
The letter states that the bill will
have to be reintroduced at the next
session of congress, but the labor
done thus far is not lost, for the
committee on Indian affairs in the
next congress will be substantially
the same as in the last, and the
arguments already made will be
familiar to them. The attorney de-
clares he is encouraged over the pro-
gress thus far of the case, in the
face of the opposition of powerful
influences. rG
The writer tells of an effort during
the closing days Of the last session
to have an amendment tackled onto
the general Indian appropriation bill,
to give 500 per capita to those now
on the rolls. This was defeated by
the argument that no distribution
should be made until the rights of
the Mississippi Choctaws to enroll
ment can be settled.
This St. Louis firm represents many
Mississippi Choctaws.
