Attorney r. c. Allen of Muskogee and
the remaining remnants of the Indian
Rights association in his crusade
against the passage of the Hastings
bill. Mr.. Allen is a hand-picked APP
pointce of Mr.. Sells. whom, according
to statistics which have been pre-
pared by a Democratic member of
congress from oklahoma. was de-
fendant in "a of the thirty thousand
Indian land suits brought in eastern
Oklahoma. Thirteen of the cases, it
! is said nave been settled, while 21
cases against J'I.'ge Allen are still on
the federal court docket to be de-
cided. In addition, Judge Allen is said
to have been interested in the Coweta
Realty company, which was quite n
considerable defendant in the Indian
land suit prosecutions.
During the first year and a half Of
Judge Aliens incumbency as Creek
attorney, it is said that approximately
$4,000 has ben paid from Creek
tribal funds for salaries and expenses
incurred by Allen. There is a posi-
bility of a congressional investigation
to determine whether or not some of
this money was not paid out without
authority of law.

ana to tribal attorneys of the Five
civilized Tribes for their opinion.
While Mr.. Sells has not made pub
lie the consensus of opinion as oy-
pressed by his hish-priccd legal de-
raltment, II is understood, from APP
arently worthy sources, that the
commissioner was plainly told the ar
ticles to which he has taken such
violent exceptions were not liboll us,
although not overly complimentary.
IN fact, one attorney is reported to
lhaNe told the commissioner that he

the only possible cause for action was
for lese majesty towards the great

reau, who then complained that his
attorneys were evidently unsympa

Pleads Before Press Club.
Mr.. Sells, in furtherance of his or
ganized campaign against the Hast
| ings bill, It is said, recently visited
the National Press club and, with
tears in mis- eyes, plead with the young
men of the press to assist him in his
campaign to prevent the plundering
OF the helpless Oklahoma Indians. So
far, the New York Herald, which is

plucked with the approval of the
Indian office.
Mind you. the Indians were not in
favor of the deal as was finally
jammed through by the department.
They protested up until the last min
ute. and are still protesting against
the action of the department in thus
arbitrarily forcing the Usage council
into doing something that was not
for the interests of the tribe as a
whole.
No Justification.
The whole trouble seems to be that
the department has no justification
for it's action in giving away a hun
dred and sixty thousand of oil leases
in many instances not dollar having
been expended in the development OF
the property. A bona fide offer was
made through the department prior
to the passage of the Usage resolu-
tions. whereby the Osages would have
received many millions Of dollars for
their tribal oil holdings in excess OF
the price they are to receive under
! ,he plan as approved by the depart
ment Call it libel If you will. but
the Usage Indians are about to be
deprived of more money in the deal
with the hearty approval of the de-
partment than has probably beer
grated from the members of the
Five Civilized Tribes, individually and
collectively. during their hundred
years of civilization. And yet Mr.
Sells sheds huge crocodile tears every
time he thinks of the Hastings bill
plunder would be inugurated if Su-
perintendent Gabc T.. Parker at
Muskogee were to be permitted to
deal directly with the people of his
own race right at home, instead OF
allowing a $1,000 clerk in the Indian
office az Washington, fifteen thou
sand miles away, do the work for
which Mr.. Sells would like to assume
the credit
That Explosion.

STRONG REACTION ON COTTON MARKET Market Drops at Close of Day Despite Strong Ad-
 vance at Opening

New Orleans. June 23.--A reaction from the advancing movement which so strongly featured yesterdays trad- ing occurred in the cotton market to- day. chiefly owing to the profit talk ing operations of recent buyers. This realizing appeared to be hastened by the nearness of the first notice days for July and the unwillingness of many holders of long contracts to carry their holdings until there was danger of tenders. The selling carried the mar ket 13 to 16 points under yesterdays last quotations. The close was at a net loss of 10 to 14 points.
 On the opening the market seemed disposed to continue the rise of yes terday and prices went to an advance of to 6 points. Brokers had many buying orders. Cables were poor on futures and the English market in ad- dition reported only small spot trad ing. The weather map and forecast were considered favorable. all of which com- bined to stimulate increased offerings before the session was very old. By noon the market was to points un der yesterdays close and in the early afternoon it was at it's lowest levels

HEAVY REALIZING
 ON COTTON MARKET
Prices Lost Part of Sensa' tional Advance and Closed
 at a Decline

New York, June 23.-There was heavy realizing in the cotton market here to- day and prices lost part of yesterdays 8 sensational advance, closing easy at a net decline of 14 to IS points. July con- tracts sold off to 13.11c in the late trad ing, or 27 points under yesterdays high level and the close was at practically the low point of the day.
 The market opened unchanged to 2 points lower and showed a pretty steady undertone during the early trading on active buying by houses with Liver pool connections and a scattering out side demand which was attracted by the reported activity of exporters and the strength of yesterdays market. Re- alizing was extermely heavy, hover, and the market gradually eased off with active months selling about to 12 points under last nights closing fig ures before the end of the morning. Rallies of to ' points followed on covering and bull support inspired by large clearances for the day and the deailed weather reports showing more rain than was. considered desirable in boil weevil sections. Bulges, however, seeemed to meet long cotton and the market weakened again in the late trading on somewhat disappointing week end figures, renewed realizing or liquidation, and selling for a reaction. October contracts sold off to 13.25c, De- cember to 13.43c and January 13.4Sc in the late trading when the general list showed net losses of from IA to IS points. |.
 private wire from New Orleans said that 10000 bales in the stock there originally intended for delivery on July contracts had been sold for shipment and it was rumored that local interests who had intended to deliver cotton on July here, bought contracts for between 10000 and 15,000 bales of that delivery yesterday, as their spot holdings had been sold during the past few days.

TRADING UNSETTLED
 0N STOCK EXCHANGE
Mexican Situation Blamed for Fresh Outbursts
 of Liquidation

Now York, June 2S.-Unsettlement verg. today's market, developments in the sit nation with Mexico affording an excuse if not an actual reason for fresh out burst of liquidation. The decline gather ed additional impetus from the extensive operations of confident short interest which engaged in a succession of drives against the weaker specialties.
 Chief among these were Tennessee Cop per, which opened with decline of 5A points on overnight announcement of the suspension of the dividend subsequently, extending it's loss to SA points; and the more active metals, zinc issues excepted 1 to 3.
 That the severe reversal was made largely possible by the existence of an over extended bull account in the more mercurial specia1ties was demonstrated by the firmness of representative stocks, including dividend paying rails and United States Steel. These resisted pressure throughout, making only nominal declines at most.
 The trading consisted of a series Of declines, relieved temporarily by feeble rallies, but each new selling movement brought prices to new low levels. Many "stop loss' orders were uncovered as a result of impaired margins, especially in the intermediate session, when support for some issues seemed utterly lacking. In the final hour, however, rallies, to which short covering contributed, effected 8 partial readjustment, Alcohol for in- stance, regaining almost half of it's loss. Total sales of stocks amounted to 725, coo shares.
 General news, in its broader applica- tion to market values, was in most re- spects encouraging. Local banks are expected to show further additions to their reserves, countrywide bank ex- changes are well sustained and time money is hardening in response to fn- creased mercantile demands
 Railway earnings, as exemplified by Southern Pacific which reported a net increase of $1,4420OO for May, point to excellent transportation conditions, and more gold was received from Canada, bringing the total beyond the $75,0o0 900 mark.

DROP OF
 SEASON IN WHEAT Lack of Export Demand Alt tributed to Sharp Decline
 in Market

Chicago June 23-wheat dropped today to the lowest prices yet this season. going for the first time under $1 a bushel En- larged crop estimates and the lack of export demand appeared to be chiefly responsible. The market closed heavy 25s@S1sc net lower with July at 99A@997sc
 Other leading staples, too, all underwent setback, corn 15sc to 1a4921ac; oats, ssc to A@1asc and provisions 121a@4Oc.
 Bears had nearly complete control of the wkeat market throughout the session. The most acute weakness however, was shown in the last half of the day This period was subsequent to the issuance of a comprehensive crop report by a lead ing expert who represents that notable improvement had taken place of late in conditions in the eight principal winter wheat states. Another well known au- thority went on record also with surmises that the July 1, condition percentage of spring wheat would indicate 5O,Ooo, ,o5o bushels greater yield than was pointed to on June 1. Better weather for the harvest in the southwest counted further as handicap on tFe bulls. and was indeed one of the primary causes of the early declines in the market
 In the final hour Of wheat trading the effect of the absence of shipping call, espe- cially the dearth of any inquiries from Europe, became more and more apparent. The total shipping sales here amounted to only 10000 bushels. No export business whatever was noted barring 50O000 bush- els at the seaboard all from Manitoba.
 Coarse grain weakened with wheat Warmer temperatures in the corn belt brought larger offerings from the coun- try and more than offset the influence of a Liverpool upturn due to prospects of removal of taxation of the alcohol industry in Argentina
 In the oats market rust reports from Nebraska and Illinois attracted attention, but were ineffective to stop declines.
 Low prices on hogs with provisions without support. The buyers of futures were the largest sellers.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, June 23.-(Special.)-Th was an easier tone in the market all day, as Liverpool felt the weight of the sell- ing against the recent purchases in New York on the cheaper freight rates, and our market closed IA points lower. Tak- ings of American cotton by the world s spinners were some 5000 bales less than last year for the same week, making the decrease as compared with last season over 450,o00 bales less. Shorts having largely covered early in the week, the market does not have that support. The sentiment is bullish, though a reaction is now looked forward to as natural. Wealth CT conditions are favorable for the crop.
