HARRISON SAYS ACTION
MEANS ULTIMATE SUCCESS
oklahomans Now Realize They Can
not Get Distribution of Funds Unless
It Is Shared by Mississippi Brethren.
Members May Not Return Home to
Campaign.
Special to The Neps.
Campaign.


Washington, July 3O.-The adoption
of the conference report on the In
dian appropriation bill yesterday elm
mating the provision for per capita
payment to the enrolled Choctaws liv-
ing in Oklahoma, was a magnificent
victory for the Mississippi delegation,
led in the House by Congressman Pat
Harrison and in the Senate by Senator
Williams, and ended fight that had
lasted over three months.
The prospects for the passage of
bill to reopen the rolls and give the
Mississippi Choctaws an opportunity
to present their claims for a partici-
patton in the funds of the tribe are coll
sidered brighter than they have ever
been since the rolls were closed in
1907. Congressman Harrison, who has
waged a persistent fight in behalf of
the Mississippi Choctaws ever since
he came to Congress and who has a
bill before Congress providing for a
reopening of the rolls, in highly elated
over the victory just achieved and is
confident that it will not belong un-
til the Mississippi claimants are given
on opportunity to present their claims.
Victory For Mississippi.
Speaking of the action of the con-
ferees in eliminating the distribution
provision from the appropriation bill
and the adoption of the report, Mr..
Harrison today said:
"The action of the House and Sen
ate in again eliminating the provision
for a distribution of the funds of the
Choctaw tribe among the Choctaws in
Oklahoma means that legislation will
be passed by Congress taking care Of
the Mississippi Choctaws. This ac-
tion of Congress was due solely to the
fact that no provision was made for
the Mississippi Choctaws, and that
the reasons advanced in behalf of the
Mississippi Choctaws being permitted
to present their claims for enrolment
were so powerful and convincing that
the House and Senate refused to au-
thorize the distribution.
"The Choctaws in Oklahoma now
ought to be convinced that they can
never participate in the funds that are
held in trust for the tribe until their
brethren in Mississippi have been
Justly dealt with by the government.
With the fight on this bill won,
several members of the Mississippi
delegation may return home before
the election as this has been one of
the principal causes for their remain
ing in Washington while they have
campaigns on back home.

A search of one of the culprits in the
city court today revealed an empty

combination was a bad one and fined
him $1O He said the combination of

BATHHOUSE READY
BUT NO BEACH
jackson Planning To Have Municipal
Swimming Hole"

Jackson, Miss, July 30.-Though
the Capital City has no beach where
bathers may disport themselves and
no arrests of persons charged with
bathing a la September morn" ever
illumine the pages Of the police docket,
the municipal bath house. located not
far from the river, is highly popular
resort at present.
The bath house has been in exist
ence for several years. About a year
ago it was closed, but this year Com
missioner R. M. Taylor got busy,
cleaned it up. improved the place gen.
orally and opened it to the public, with
the result that many are taking advan-
tage of the opportunity. 1t is stated
the bath house is being kept in excel.
lent condition.
During the present summer many
have discussed the possibilities of a
bathing beach somewhere close to the
city on Pearl river. However, no one
has definitely decided on any plan and
it is not generally deemed practicable
to institute beach near this city.
There are some who declare that
when the city finishes with the filtra
tion plant there win be facilities for 6
bathing lake and that an excellent re
sort could be instituted at the filtra
tion plant which would soon grow In
! favor with Jackson people.

DEPTH OF 1900 FEET
REACHED BUT NO OIL YET
Party From City Visits Sanford Today
Wild Rumors Fly About Streets
With But Little Foundation-Drilier
From Caddo Fields Has Much Faith
in venture-Conner Well About 200
Feet-Both Progressing Rapidly.

The boring on Tatum's we'll at San
ford has been resumed after week
of idleness. The cause of the delay
was the failure of a consignment OF
pipe for casting to arrive before the
supply of pipe on hand was exhausted.
The pipe was shipped in and the boring
began as soon as it was unloaded and
set up. although it was after midnight
Monday.
The limit has been reached for the
six-inch pipe which has been used and
the new consignment is 4 inches In
diameter.
The we'll is now 1900 feet down and
progressing rapidly. According to the
last report the drill was working in
the same "Gumbo" which was struck
at a higher level. The drill during
the past few days has passed through
a stratum of soft rock on the other
side of which the "Gumbo" was struck
again.
Hattiesburg Party At Well.
A party of men from Hattiesburg,
consisting of Martin King, ]. o. Rhea,
w. E. Heron and Nick Allen, are to-
dav at Sanford for the purpose of
looking at the we'll and watching the
boring operations.
The borer at the Sanford well came
here from the Caddo fields of Louisi-
ana, where he was successful in get
ting a flow Of oil in several instances.
He is confident of success here and Is
watching day and night for favorable
indications.
Almost daily there have been the
widest sort of rumors on the streets
in regard to the we'll at Sanford. Each
one is given credence by large num-
ber of people in spite of the flimsiest
sort Of foundation.
It was once reported that oil had
been struck, but that the well had
been capped in order to keep the oil
from gushing. 1t was also reporseu
that armed guards had been thrown
out to surround the well for distance
of several hundred yards in all direc'
tions to keep the people out and that
the strictest regulations around the
derrick was enforced against smoking
to keep from igniting the gas which
was coming from the we'll.
Rumors Are Foolish.
A farmer several days ago heard the
fire whistle on the pumping station 60
of. He was in town several days
later and said Il heard that whistle
blowing and l says to myself. 'Tatum's
struck oil.'"
There were also rumors that the
price of land has gone up to a figure
never before heard of in that end Of
the county. 1t was also reported that
