INDIANS ASK FOR CITIZENSHIP
Would Develop SeIf-Deniai, Says Re-
gistrar Parker, q Choctaw.

~'NN't =
Full rights of citizenship for the
American Indian were advocated to-
day by speakers at the council of
the Society OF American Indians, held
at the Academy of Natural Sciences.
The speakers declared that admission
to full citizenship and the right of
ownership rather than occupancy
should be granted to the red man.
Gabe L. Parker newly appointed Re-
gister Of the Treasury, Choctaw, de-
clared that the Indian was in a pc
culiar position, being Independent in a
tribal sense yet dependent in national
relations. Mr. Parker said that there
were 100000 Indians in the United
States, and that 13S,32S had citizen
ship rights. Tribal life must be aban-
doned," he said, before the Indian can
become self-supporting, or vital force
IN our national life. He must be recog-
nized as a man of capabilities. He
has made great progress in adapting
himself to the life of the country. He
has suffered from the one fault Of lack
of self-denial, but If the Indian be CIV
en- his land with privileges and res
possibilities of proprietorship, he
would soon develop that quality

UNITED STATES
FULLY PREPARED
TO MOVE pEcISiVEtY, WHEN
DRASTIC MEASURES MUST
FALL ON MEXICO.

Washington, March president
Wilson revealed to those who dis
cussed Mexican affairs with him
today that he fully realized the grav-
ity Of the situation growing out of
the killing OF William S. Benton,
a British subject; the reported MUIR
ders of Gustav Bauch and Clemente
Vergara, American citizens, and
Gen. Carranza's denial of the right
of the United States to look after
the interests of foreigners general
ly in Mexico.
The president spoke deploringly
of armed Intervention, but at the
same time pointedly referred to the
size and power of a country like
the United States as being suffic-
lent to warrant for a calm and pa
tient course while compliance with
the American demands was being
sought. Callers got the impression
from the president that he was de-
termined to try every peaceful
means at his disposal to solve the
Mexican problem, but that he real
lied certain eventualities might
mean a drastic course. He spoke
with firmness that showed his de-
termination not to be stampeded
into action by radicals in congress,
but with hint that when neeess-
ity arose the American government
could be expected to move decisive
ly and effectively.
Upon Great Britain's attitude to-
ward the Benton case depends
largely the extent to which the
United States will become involved.
Should England show an inclination
to let the Benton case await final
at a time when firm
government Is established in Mex
leo. the United States will not feel
called upon to challenge Gen. Car
ranza's specific refusal to supply the
Washington administration with in
about Benton's death.
Representations have been made
o Gen. Carranza, it Is understood,
through American Consul Simpich
It Nogales and on their outcome
depends whether the expedition
which had planned to go to Chi
luahua from Juarez yesterday to
'xamine Benton's body. will carry
'ut its mission.

OIL WORKER BADLY BURNED
Hot Piece Of Steel Is Supposed to
Have Ignited Gas Well.

Lawton, Okla, March 2.-Brice
Schlotzhaur, a tool dresser, was badly
burned Sunday, at the third well of
Boone and Warner, when 1t caught
on fire. The fire was extinguished by
use of two streams of steam and was
gotten under control in FIVE or six
hours. This second gas we'll of Boone
& Warner had been cased and the
gas shut off, and the drill had been
sent further down. They had passed
through a thin sfIale, when another
gas sand was struck that was so
strong that drilling had to be stopped.
Mr.. Schlotzauer went into the in
closure around the well and rig and
had with him a piece OF steel that
was almost red hot. An explosion fol-
lowed, and the second flow of gas
was set on fire. Schlotzhaur was bad
ly burned about the face.

ANOTHER CONVERT
TOLL ExEMP TON
SENATOR THORNTON GIVES HIS
SUPPORT TO PRESIDENTS POL.
ICY ON CANAL EXEMPTION.

Washington, March Announcing
his support of President Wilson's pol
icy to review the Panama canal act
eXempting American coastwise ships
from tolls, Senator Thornton, demo-
crat of Louisiana, in a statement on
Monday said the president had in.
formed him that ''in his judgment the
repeal of the exemption clause is nee
essary for the continuance of our
friendly relations with foreign powers
and the success of our foreign pol
icy"
Senator Thornton is a member Of
the inter-oceanic canals committee,
which urged the toll exemption and
is one of several democratic members
of that committee who has told the
president they would reverse their po-
sition. He said that he formerly ia
vored exemption believing that the
United States had the legal and moral
right under the Hay-Pauncefoto treaty
to enact such legislation"
81 believe now just as firmly as be-
fore" continued the senator, that
the exemption clause of the Panama
canal act Is not a violation Of our
treaty obligations, but recognize now,
as l always did, that the substantial
difference is between our right Of ex-
emption and our enforcement of that
right.
considering the canal tolls exemp-
ton law previously enacted to be q
question OF policy and not Of princi-
pie and recognizing the great respon-
sibility resting on the president for
The successful conduct OF our foreign
relations and also the delicacy OF the
present situation, feel it my public
duty to assist the president In carrying
cut his wishes in this matter"
Administration leaders in the SEN
tie believe the reversal will carry by
/ substantial majority despite opposi-
ion and it is also believed the matter |
will be up for action within Two
weeks. Representative Adamson ex-
,ects to introduce repeal bill in
ew days.

Mr.. Folk leaves the state depart

to his friends, Cone Johnson will
probably be named as his successor.

considered either former Governor
Glenn of North Carolina or Mr..
Johnson for the place, but Gov.
Glen has been given soft berth on
the international joint commission
at a salary of $500. The position
of solicitor for the state department
which pays $4,000, it is thought, will
therefore go to Mr.. Johnson.
