tee.
At the opening of the breeding
season the sires should be placed at
the most convenient points and put
in the hands of capable and efficient
men who understand the breeding
question and who will take proper
care of the animals in their charge.
After each second season it NAV
prove advisable to change or shift
the sires. This will allow each
breeder to procure the service of a
new sire and at the same time make
it possible to determine which are
the best producers so that those not
making good can be disposed of.
A sufficient number of the best
females from the successful sires
should be retained, and in some cases
male offspring may be put into SER
vice in the neighborhood. This will
obviate the necessity for any further
extensive purchases and give a con-
slant supply of good blood and uni
form quality. In addition, it will
provide an adequate number of ami
mails to take the place of those that
die, are injured, or sold. The SER
viceable sires crossed with the fe-
males retained will be of incalcul-
able value in the continued produc~
ton of animals of outstanding merit.

INDIAN TOO MUCH
RULED, DECLARES
Congressman Hastings Asserts
Lo Should Have More Say
in Governing Self.
ENMESHED IN RED TAPE?
Visiting Members of Indian
Affairs Committee Enter
tained by Tulsans.

There are too many restrictions
on the Indians" Congressman w. b.
Hastings of Tahlequah, himself
Cherokee, declared at banquet given
for visiting members of the Indian
aifalrs committee of the national
house of representatives ut the Coun-
try club last night. The congressman
declared that the elaborate and
varied regulations placed about the
red man by the interior department
has seriously retarded his develop
ment.
Hastings is framer of the bill bear
ing his name and now pending, which
Is designed TO increase self-goVcrn-
ment among the Indians. 1t was to
make recommendation to congress
ON the Hastings act that the commit
tee undertook a tour to investigate
conditions among all the tribes of the
country at first hand.
TOO Much Red Tape.
There is too much red tape about
the present management of Indian
affairs, Congressman Hastings as
serted in his speech last night. Many
OF the things that are now done by
the department in Washington could
be much more effectively and speed
lily transacted at home, he said.
The condition of the Indian was
ikened to that of n small child from
whom all cares are kept by kind but
misguided parents. AS a result the
individual is Handicapped when he
comes in contact with the world.
The Greatest Menace.
"Thqt is the greatest existing men
acc to the various tribes scattered
thruout the United states" the states
man iaid. He concluded by stating
ITO develop the Indian and bring
him to our stage of civilization, he
must be given responsibilities, and the
first step is to allow him greater con-
troll of his own affairs"
Congressman Hastings was the last
speaker on the program. Cyrus S.
Avery was the toastmaster and intro
duced each speaker with brief but
pointed remarks.
War Crisis Mentioned,
The war crisis confronting the ma
tion was reviewed by Congressman T..
Il. Norton of North Dakota, who
pleaded for calmness in the grave sit
uation and promised that when the
special session convened on April 2
he would do all in his power to get
the issue sIuarely before the people
so that if war did come they would
know exactly what principle was in
vUlvcd. Norton is one of the leading
members of the house, and If the next
congress is Republican. he is slated
for the chairmanship of the Indian
committee.

HOSPITAL CAMPAIGN
PASSES 100000 MARK
L. L. Hutchison of Tulsa Hos
pital Among Contributors
to New Institution.

At the conclusion of yesterdays
luncheon the fund for the ere ction of
St. John hospital had reached the to-
tai of S204, 469.75, and as there are
three more days yet for the workers
it is believed that the entire sum
asked for. s250,00O, will be raised.
Eugene Lorton. editor of The
World, was the principal speaker yes
terday. He said that ordinarily the
term millionaire was term of oppro-
brium, but in this town it was getting
to be a badge of honor, since the
millionaire could always be depended
upon to contribute to every object of
a charitable or benevolent nature. He
said that most Of the millionaires in
Tulsa came from the ranks and knew
the sufferings and hardships of those
less fortunate, and, therefore, were
not hard to approach in any cam
paign which had for its object the
relief of pain and misery.
Pat Malloy also made few re-
marks on the line of the spirit In
which Tulsa always welcomed every
campaign of this character. and par
ticulary with reference to st. John
hospital.
one of the subscriptions came from
l.. L. Hutchinson of the Tulsa hos
pital for a substantial amount.
The Tulsa Plasterers' union, at its
regular meeting last night, voted to
subscribe 500 to the st. John hospital
fund.

PARTY BATTLE IN
HOUSE WILL WAIT
Organization Fight Won't
Delay Action on Inter-
national Crisis.
CONTROL NOT DECIDED
May Change Rules to Des-
ignate Speaker by Ma
jority Present.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Mem-
bers of congress still in Washington
received President Wilson'S call for
an extra session April with patriotic
expressions and confident predictions
that close organization fight in the
house would not be permitted to de-
lay action on the grave questions to
b. submitted by the president.
The senate organized and adopted
its anti-filibusteT rule during the re-
cent extra session. House leaders
say their contest will be settled
promptly regardless of political re-
suits so that both branches may get
down to business within a few days
after they assemble.
May Hold Joint Session.
A Joint session to hear the address
of the president may be held without
waiting for the house organization.
This course is held to be legal and
probably would serve to hasten action
i'm the house.
In spite of their determination 20
bring about quick conclusion,
neither Democrats nor Republicans
intend to surrender without fight.

home in Scotland Neck, \. c., today

called independent conference are

ness which arose over the prohibition

congress The Republicans. because
of the opposition to caucus rules
among the progressive element, prob

fer informally before the session.
Bi-Partisan Talk Heard.
Both big parties are expected to
discuss emergency plans for organ
izing the house along bipartisan
lines. or changing the present rules
which require 2lS totes, majority
of the total membership, to elect a
sneaker. AS each side, it is generally
agreed, will have total membership
of only 2l4 on the opening day, 1t
would be necessary under present
rules for the winning party to attract
four of the five Independents. Many
Republicans are opposed to permitting
the balance of power to rest with the
independents and any proposed plan
which would eliminate them from the
fight would receive hearty reception
in the Republican conference. Some
Democrats favor change in the rules
so as to permit less than majority
of the membership to elect. This has
been done on two occasions, in 1909
and 1879.
Calling Of the special session today
made the Independents much great
er factor in the organization plans
than they would have been if the ses-
sion had not convened until April 16,
as originally planned.
Should neither side be able In the
early voting TO win four Independents,
it is considered extremely likely that
an effort will be made to reach an
agreement to elect a speaker by ma
jority of those present.

WASHlNGTON, March 21.-Naval
preparations for war were marked by
Increased activity today with the ad-

The navy's task is simple. rs prob

than 100000 men would be required
for manning every available ship or
scouting craft. They could be OBJ

The army's problem is just the re-
verse. 1t Is men that will be needed
land no definite step toward securing
a great force for training can be
taken until congress expresses its
will. Full equipment can be OBJ
tained long before the men are ready
to use 1t.
Steps actually taken by the navy
today included the advancement of
the date of the opening of bids for
additional destroyers and notification
to ship builders that their full plant
capacity would be utilized in this
work. There is no way of estimating
how many destrOyors will be ordered
until estimates called for show now
many can be built. Secretary Daniels
said every available plant would be
utilized to its utmost. The builders
will present their figures next Satur-
day and awards Will be made i'm
mediately.

Bids for the first large consignment
of llO-foot submarine chasers or
coast patrol boats also were received
today, but will be held confidential
until Wednesday, when one hundred
additional builders are expected to
submit figures. The navy hopes to
find facilities available for more than
two hundred boats, the first of them
to be delivered In two or three
months. Meanwhile work of survey
ing private yachts and motor craft Is
being pressed In every navy district
and the enrolment of volunteers to
man the boats proceeds rapidly.
