TULSA WORKMEN UNCOVER
MANY SKELETONS WHILE
EXCAVATING IN OSAGE.
A MASS OF HUMAN BONES
Victims Were Apparently Indians
Bullet Hole Through Skull
Told Mute Story.

The skeletons OF five men. appar-
emily Indians, were uncovered yester
day on the farm Of Colonel C. II.
Lynch, north Of Tulsa, by laborers en-
gagged in digging a cellar and sewer
ditch. News Of the discovery was
brought to Tulsa by ]. w. syferd,
1406 South Carson, who is contractor
on the excavation Job.
The farm is located two and one
half miles west and one mile north Of
Tulsa, in the Usage nation. While eX-
cavating for the basement the work.
men dug up four skeletons. The
skulls were all detached and there
was every indication that the bodies
had been thrown into a hastily dug
shape and white. None OF them were
decayed. All of the skeletons had
very large jaw bones, and long thigh
and arm bones. indicating that the
men had been Indians of great size.
One skull found in the basement
had a bullet hole I'm the front part.
No evidence Of wounds were found
among the other bones.
In digging sewer trench a short
distance from the basement excava-,
tion, another skeleton was found. and
the skulls Of several others were
found sticking out of the side of the
ditch. but were not uncovered. There
may be dozen or more bodies In the
vicinity that have not been dug up.
That the Indians were buried there
a long time ago was shown by the
condition OF the skeletons.
Old residents OF the vicinity are at
loss to account for the discovery.
They remember Of no wholesale kill
Ing in the Usage, and the slaughter
must have taken place long before
civilization had gotten this far. 1t
was either a battle between warning
Indian tribes, or between Indians and
white men.
Perhaps a band Of sturdy "sooners"
were attacked by the red men, killed
and carried away. but not before they
had thinned the ranks Of the attack
Ing force. 1t Is not customary for
Indians to bury their dead hastily In
trenches. however, which shows that
there must have been cause for the
Indians leaving the place In haste
after firing had ceased. and forced
them to throw the dead into trenches.

WASHINGTON, May l7.-An-
nonucement today by Chairman Sim
mons Of the finance comittee, that
sub-comittees considering the Under
wood tarifr bill had determined to
grant more time to protesting manu-
facturers than was at first intended,
aroused considerable interest at the
capitol.
Although the effort OF Senate re-
publicans TO force public hearings
was defeated. minority leaders see in
the changed tactics Of the democrats
concession which they claim result
ed from the denunciation Of secret
consideration OF the bill. Another in
teresting development was the deter
mination OF Senator Hoke Smith. Of
Georgia, a member Of the sub COM
mittee considering the cotton and
chemical schedules, to have the pri-
vate hearings conducted by him re-
ported by a senate stenographer, This
Is an innovation which the republi-
cans assert was brought about
through the insistence of Senator'S La
Toilette and Bristow who urged that
the private hearings be published for
the benefit of senators not on the
finance committee. 1t also has been
agreed that the finance committee
Will send to manufacturers the list OF
questions on costs and production
proposed by Senator La Toilette.
Still another liberalizing feature
resulting from the debate on the Pen

amendment was the reiteration by
Senator Hoke Smith and some of his
colleagues that members Of the press
could attend the private hearings
The previous statement was the first
the newspaper men ever had heard
Of It and 1t also was news to other
members Of the finance committee.
Today Senator Smith conferred with
other members of the committee and
found they were agreeable to admit
ting newspaper representatives.
None OF the tariff bill sub-commit-
tees held hearings today except Sena-
tor Williams committee, which gave
q brief hearing to Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Curtis and Assistant
Attorney General Dennison on the
administrative features Of the bill
I'VE will try to have the bill ready
for the senate by June" said Senator
Simmons today, but 1t probably will
be little later than that owing to
the fact that the sub committee have
agreed 10 give little more time to
the manufacturers who are protesting
against the rates In the Underwood
bill. They have decided to do this
owing to the insistence and persis-
tence of some OF the interests affected
by the bill. We already ha"' lost
whole week because Of the 1nged
debate on the reference motions but
the work will be pushed as rapidly
as possible"
