This is a bill introduced by Congress.
man Pat Harrison of Mississippi in
Which he seeks to have the tribal
records reopened for the enrolment of
CnoCtaWS and the descendants on the
Indian Rolls for the tribal distribution
OF land or money guaranteed under
the Indian treaty of $780,. 1t will be
remembered that the rolls were closed
by act OF Congress in 1907 while a very
large number of ChoctaW descendants
all over the South had never had an
opportunity of enrolling under the
Act. and thus have been deprived of
any rights under the old treaty of 1890.
For several years efforts have been
made to get action from Congress. A.
P Powell of Biloxi, Mississippi has
possibly been most active in working
up interest in this work and the result
is beginning to look encouraging to the
claimants. Last week hearing was
given before sub. committee on Indian
dfaIrS before which Congressman
Harrison OF Mississippi and Congress.
man Laiaro of Louisiana appeared and
urged favorable report. Mr.. Powell
has sent letter out to many of the
claimants explaining summary of the
progress being made. The following is
a part of the letter:
You are advised that Congressman
Pat HarriSon's bill is now pending in
Congress for the relief of the Missis.
Sippi ChoctaWS and their descendants.
That this. bill is now before the Com.
mlttee on Indian Affairs, of this, the
63rd Congress. You may rest assured
that Congressman Harrison of MissiS.
Sippi is making the fight of his life for
our rights, and other congressman are
helping him. You are further advised
that on January 22nd last Hon. Thos
R. Marshall, Vice-PreSident of the
United States tWho is the presiding
officer of the Senatel presented in the
United States Senate concurrent
resolution for the benefit of the entire
ChoctaW nation and their descendants,
wherever they be. On February goth,
1914 the clause in the Indian Appropri-
alton Bill providing for $10O per capita
payment for the ChoctawS in the West
was struck out by Congress, by vote
of 11S to 49,. Congress did not think it
right for any more money to be paid
out of the tribal funds until some dis.
position was made of the Mississippi
ChoctaW claims. This means a great
victory for us. ! feel sure that Con.
gress will give us our rights in the
near future"
