Curious Psrquisites Of Royalty.
II appears that BY d curious statuts
Of the realm the king Of Great Britain
and Ireland Is entitled to every stur-
geon landed IN the United Kingdom.
The king has also the right TO the
head OF every whale caught on the
coasts OF his kingdom.
The tail Of the whale is the queens
perquisite, the object OF this curious
division being that her majesty shall
always be well supplied with whale
bone, although sinEuiaEiy i -
whalebone Is the kings hall.
Among other strange perquisites Of
EngIand's rulers are a pair OF white
doves, q pound OF cumin seed. a pair
OF scarlet hose and q silver needle

OF Interest to Indians.

That there will be sweeping
investigation Of the admistration
Of Indian Affairs in the United
States, and that This proposed
congressional inquiry will lead
10 radical reforms in present
methods Of handing the business
Of the red wards Of the nation,
is the belief Of members Of Con-
gress.
In recent years vast sums has
been spent by the government in
handling the business Of the
Indians and great percent Of
this money has been taken from
tribal treasures. The Oklahoma
Indians have been forced to spend
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
Oh t1e upkeep Of an administra-
tive force, the wisdom Of which
is still under question.
Years after years, notwith-
standing the work Of the Indian
b reau in Washington, the bust
ness has multiplied although the
Indian population has not in
creased in proportion. In addi-
ton to this, in recent years, the
charges Of fraud against the In
dians Of the country have multi
piled, Notwithstanding the in
creased government force Of
guardians. The Indians them
selves are crying for reform, and
mo e fre edom in the handling of
ther own affairs, and it is ex-
pecte the-proposed congress-
i5na! investigation will do much
t b ing about satisfactory So
lut on Of tie Indian problem.
Oklahoma probably wou d well
come relief from the present top
heavy bureaucratic system more
than any other state.

Card of Thanks.

To the Good People Of Krebs:
] hereby desire to express my
heartfelt thanks for the SUPP er
and ball given in my behalf a
few weeks ago. | also desire to
thank Prof. Craghead and his
school for the entertainment giv-
en- by them for me- the proceeds
of which amounted to S24.75. |
don't know yet what the supper
and ball amounted to as only a
part Of it has been turned over
to me.
God alone knows how grateful
myself und family are and how
bright the silver lining has
shown to us under our cloud of
affiictiOn. Gratefully,
w. F. Davis and Family.

The total number Of Indians in
the United States is 265, ,683
and two of the five largest tribes
in the country are located in Ok
lahoma according to a bulletin
issued by the census bureau. The
bulletin shows that Oklahoma has
a greater number of Indians than
any other state in the Union, one
fourth Of the entire indian popu-
lation residing within its borders.

McMurray
Blocked.

Washington, d. G., June 9th.
The greatest step in the fight
To kill the contracts between J.
F. McMurray Of McAlester,
Oklahoma, whom Senator Ash
hurst termed one Of the smooth
est lobbyists he ever has seen
and members Of the five tribes
in Oklahoma was taken Monday
afternoon by the senate Indian
appropriation bill which is design
ed to prevent McMurray's collec-
ton of $3,5OO,0O from the In
dians.
The senate Indian affairs COM
mittee was in session from morn
ing until late in the afternoon
and during almost the entire
contracts were under consider
alton.
Owing 10 the fact 1t was feared
the Gore amendment against the
McMurray contracts was so
sweeping in its words that it
might prevent all Indians making
contracts Of whatsoever charac-
ter a substitute was adopted by
the committee, which reads:
No contract with an Indian
where such contract relates to
the tribal funds or property in
the hands Of the United States
shall be valid nor shall any pay
ment rendered in relation there
to be made unless the consent of
the United States has been prev
iously given" "
The.contract matter will, after
being acted upon by the senate,
go to a conference committee and
it is expected the clause as adopt
el Monday, will remain in the
measure throughout and until
the Indian bill becomes a law.

Whether the understanding ono 10 Il

with the suffrage leader depicted In

by his wife. had summoned sufficient
courage to speak OF the matter, HIS

Here is the cradle of all the i'm.
rCrtant bills now before the Oklaho-
ra legislature. And it's rather
large cradle for you can look into it
any part of the day and see from four
hundred TO seven hundred people. 1t
is the main lobby of the Lee-Huck-
iIs.
When the state seal of Oklahoma
Lad its famous midnight ride il was
lruught direct to the Lee-Huckins ho-
til and there Governor Haskell estab.
llsbed the capitol.
The Lee-Huckins goes farther hack
than that as an important meeting
pace in the political history of Ok.
lpnma. 1t was in the old Lee hotel
that Chairman Jesse ]. Dunn called
the initial meeting OF Oklahoma dem-
ocrats and their headquarters have
been maintained there, off and on.
ever since.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1913-02-27

Therefore it naturally follows that
the es-Huckins today is the central
gathering place for legislators at
tending the present session and here
IN the lobby they give their pet meas
u!es impetus. So if you want to
Ireet any man prominent in the af-
fr.rs of the state you can usually find
him milling about in the large crowd
that fills the spacious lobby at the
Lee-Huckins.
Lawmakers are not the only ones
who foregather at the Lee-Huckins
lor it is the headquarters of stock
men. business men, theatrical folk
and newspaper men from all over
the state and they are frequent Wis
itors. 1t is a place that will be
Euksd with the history and the max
ing of the history of the state for a
lens time to come.
