New Orleans, Oct. 19-The Amer

select a new national commander to

none have advanced sufficient strength
to insure his election.
| The election Friday, was the prin-

vention went into session today.
Supporters of VIM. P. Began Of New
York were confident that he will win
but other candidates insist that Beg
gan's strength was not more than ~
percent Of the 1000 votes.
The candidate has been compro-
missed by a row with Col. c. H. Forbes,
Director of the United States Vet
Grams Bureau, which resulted in
Fcbe's departure and the ca1lcella-
ton of his engagement to speak be-
fore the convention.
Beggan's principal campaign medl-

INDIANS; Will FIGHT :.
FOR new YORK LANDS
Legal Battles to be Begun
Soon to Recover Lands
Claimed by Indians
(By United Press)

Oneida, Wis, Oct. 19-Legal bat
ties will be begun shortly to recover
for the "Six Nations" of Indians
more than 100000 acres of land
in the heart of New York state, val
ued at more than $2,0O0,00O,000.
Oneida Indians at meeting here
appointed committee of % of their
number to raise money needed for
the fight and for further investiga-
ton of claims. Nelson Metoxen is
chairman and Mrs. Laura Cornelius
Kellogg, secretary. The committee
will work with those appointed from
other tribes.
Mrs. Kellogg and Amos Baird Rep
resented the Oncidas at an investl-
cation conducted in the cas-. They
claimed at the meeting TIM: if the
land is recovered it will be divided
among approximately $4,000 persons,
descendants Of the "SixNations.'
The claim is based on snr trea,y
Of 1884 in which the Initial States
government coded 100000 acres of
land to the Six Nations. There was
nothing in the treatry, however, to
prevent the Indians from selling the
land. In a short time much of it
had been sold to the State of New
York and the Indians moved North
and West, some into Canada, others
to Wisconsin and Oklahoma.
In 1894 the government amended
the treaty with a clause which stated
it was the original purpose of the
government to. provide that none Of
the land ceded in the treaty of 1884
could be sold, by the, Six Nations,
except asa unit. Indians, therefore,
are attempting. to recover the land
alleged to have been illegally sold to
New York state.
The Indians are being assisted in
their fight by E. A. Everett, chair
man of the New York State Indian
commission. The fight will be car
ried to the New York state and fed
eral government.
