Beligerent Indians Invade Vicinity Of
meeker and Say They Came to Claim
Land That is GghtuIb Theirs
SENATOR TAYLOR Wires NEWS

Congressman Taylor returned yester-
day from Meeker, where he went
recently to investigate the reported
influx of Utes into RIO Blanco county
from the southern Uintsh reservation
in Utah. When seen by Post reJ lea
entative, Mr.. Taylor gave the follow
ing account of the conditions as he
found them in and around Meeker:
About ten days ago seventy five
Utes came over from the reservation
and settled near the mouth Of Doug las
creek, bringing their ponies and other
property with them, it evidently being
their intention to settle there perma-
nently. When settlers approached the
camp they informed the white men
that they had come to stay and init
mated that any efforts to Oust them
would be combatted. All the men were
well armed and the settlers believed
that it would be better to notify Of
1icials asA let then alone until some
one with the authority could hold =
parley with them. Congressman Tay-
lor's trip was therefore result.
The Indians insist that this country
is a part of their reservation, and that
they have never been fully paid for it
by the government. They are evidently
very firm in their determination to re-
main and make it their home.
Congressman Taylor has notified the
officials at Washington of the matter
by wire and some action by them will
probably be taken at an early date.
In the meantime the forestry depart
ment in this city has been notified by
the department At Washington that Mr.
Frank Knox, Of Manchester, New
Hampshire, has been detailed to come
to Glenwood and make thorough in
vestigation of the claims Of the Indian.

paid for the same at the rate of $l.2j
per acre. They claim now, however
that the price paid them was not
enough and want more money from
Uncle Sam. 1t is to investigate the
justness of their claims for mo:e
money that Mr.. Knox will be sent here.
Mr.. Knox is one of the experts in
the government service and has q large
knowledge of matters pertaining to
Indians and Indian lands. He will
arrive here on the sth inst. and after
a most searching study of the con1i-
tions among the Indians, will make a
report to the government upon which
will depend the possibility of the In

the government.
1t is not thought by the people IN

now is that they will be corraled and

stated that the bill had not received a favorable report because it was "an in- iqutous measure"
 Senators Lusk of Marshall, Bonner or Wilcox Denson of Greene and Jones of Barbour lead the forces on the question of compelling the committee to report the bill while Senators Milner and Lee of Etowah, Winkler of Butler and Bulger of Tallapoosa represented the opposition.
 The bill provides an appropriation Of $15 ,00o annually for the use of the attor- ney general such fund to be used in the employment of special counsel and for the payment of the expenses of conduct ing the office. The bill also grants the attorney general the authority to direct the work of solicitors of the state.
 Pass Judiciary Bills
 Following the fight on the attorney gen. erai bill, the senate took up the passage of several bills proposed by the recess com mittee on the judiciary. One of these measures fixes the salaries of judges at $3OO0 per annum, payable monthly.
 Another judiciary bill passed today reg ulates and authorizes the making of equit- abl, defenses and granting relief in actions at law, authorizing the issuance of injunctions, restraining orders and other such relief by courts.
 A third bill passed confers upon judges of the circuit courts the powers and au- thority of chancellors and authorizes cir cult judges to hold chancery courts
 The senate passed a bill by Senator Pride allowing life convicts to make their will or to dispose of property by will within 12 months after having been sent to prison.
 Afternoon Session
 Passage of the judiciary bills featured the afternoon session of the senate. AL together there are nearly 70 measures proposed by the recess committee on the judiciary, and indications are that sev eral days will be consumed in disposing of all these bills.
 At the afternoon session the first bill called up was a meaure prescribing the qualifications of jurors and regulating their selection.
 A feature of this bill is that relating to the selection of the jury commission CTS of the various counties. Provision is made whereby the governor shall ap point one commissioner for each county, the chief justice of the supreme court one, and the board of revenue of the various counties one. Under the old sys- tenn. the governor names the jury conn missioners
 Another bill of considerable interest passed by the senate this afternoon was one regulating pleadings in negligence cases. This bill provides that the de-

At CT long and tedious debate. the senate this morning voted favorably on a mo- ton of Senator Bonner of Wilcox coun- ty requiring the revision of laws com mittee of that body to report the attorney general bill. which was yes- terday indefinitely postponed by that committee.
 The fight on the bill at least the third that has been staged in the senate on that mea sure since it. was introduced at the first session of the legislature. con- sumed the greater part of the morning session. The bill was under consider ation by the revision and laws com mittee yesterday afternoon and after long argument was indefinitely postponed. The debate today was on the question of requiring the committee to make a re- port on the bill, whether favorably or adversely
 The attorney general bill passed the house at the first session and when it came over to the senate was referred to the committee on revision of laws. That committee, after several hearings on the bill, made an adverse report on the measure. Further action was pre- vented by adjournment for the recess
 The bill came again into the limelight when the senate, shortly after recon vening voted to take it off the adverse calendar. The contest on the measure at that time was spirited and the ma- jority only won by small margin.
 However the bill was again referred to the revision of laws committee. notwith- standing an effort was made to have it referred to the committee on the judiciary That was several weeks ago. Yesterday the committee met for final action or the measure, with the result that 1t was fn- definitely postponed
 During the fight today several charges were made by friends of the measure that the committee had not treated the senate fairly in refusing to report the measure.
 Senator Miner of Lamar, chairman of the committee, declared the committee had shown every courtesy necessary. and

may prove not regular. That he may do the Roosevelt stunt" and in some way knife" his party on its foreign policy. There is this difference-in 1912, Roosevelt really hoped to win. Bryan can have no hope of winning if h, is not regular-when he has failed three times with a solid party behind him. This fact it is conteded will keep the Nebraskan inside his party.
 With Wilson as it's leader then. the democratic party expects to put up it's fight on it's record. Party achievement in legislation and redemption of plat form pledges will be the slogan. The currency act will be pointed to as the greatest piece of legislation placed upon the statute books by any party in many years. The tariff bill will be defenued. Attacks upon the tariff because Of treasury deficits will be rdiculed be- cause with the European war raging no tariff act would produce revenue suf- fcient,
 As a matter of fact democrats con tend that We would be worse off un- der the Payne law than under the Gn- derwood law because the former did not carry the income tax feature. Be fore the war the Underwood bill was meeting all expectations, 1t will be shown.
 In any event the lines are being drawn--and it may safely be announced that it will take some battle in Flu rope and many of them to keep national politics off the front page much longer
