 As finally agreed upon the Indian bill carries no provision for the pro. posed per capita payment af $l00 to the Choctaw nation of oklahoma. Efforts to include the Mississippi Choctaws caused the appropriation to be eliminated.

LESS GRADING AND

CHAIRMAN BiRkETT WILLIAMS WILL CALL HIGHWAY CoMMiS-

spIendid Work Now Being Done anu Every Progress That Could Be Ex- pected is Made by the Large Force at Work.

I've will have to put the curb on the grading, and thereby save some thing more for surfacing the road, " said Chairman Birkett Wil'itms or the highway commission yesterday afternoon, after he had made an lh- spection of the work being done. He will call the commission together i'm mediately for a conference on the subject, and they will take the matter up with the constructing engineer
 Mir Williams, President Callahan of the Chamber of Commerce, Dave Bur gaurer and Douglas Hotchkiss made trip over the work yesterday, and certainly the large forces there are pushing the work as fast as possible. The abutments for the steel bridges are almost ready for the laying or the steel. The steel will arrive within a few days.
 It was noticed in the grading work yesterday that the large hills were being cut too low. The party was of the opinion that it was not necessary to cut off so much of the hills, nor to fil! so much of the low places, be- cause naturally to attempt to make a level through the rough country will be expensive; in fact, too expensive for the sum of money at hand.
 We must make some changes in the plans.' said Mf. Williams, and thus have something left for the work of finishing the top of the road. TO attempt to keep the grades even will consume all of our money and even then we will not have enough to get through"
 Mir. Williams was notified by Will Murphy that the pay rolls would be due within a short time, and that 1t would be necessary to have about $4 900. Also the stee} will arrive soon and that will require a large sum of cash. Those who have not paid on their subscriptions are urged to do so at once, and some of those who can do so are urged to pay the second subscription as the cash Will be badly needed within a few dasy.

 Washington, D. C., July 2S.-Demo- cratic assaults on the federal trade commission bill featured today's de bate on the measure in the senate. Senator Pomerene, a member of the interstate commerce committee, which reported the bill, announced he could not vote for it as now drafted, and suggested many defects. Senator Reed of Missouri also criti- cised the measure.
 Senator Pomerene said the section making unfair competition" unlaw- ful without defining it, would be held unconstitutional as delegation of legislative power to the commission.
 Senator Thomas predicted that such a mass of work would come to the commission that the burden would render it useless. He said the bill embodied the ideas of the pro gressive platform.
 The democrats were considerably encouraged whea the senate republi- cans in conference today agreed not to conduct filibaster against the trust bills. This. it is believed, will make adjournment possible earlier than had been expected.
