OFFICIALS HAVE INTEREST 9;. Relatives of Interior Department Men Said to Be Behind Scheme to Acquire Great Tracts From ; the Southern Indians. WASHINGTON". Feb. 13.Speclai.) Senator LaFollette,-by a-few quiet ques tions in the committee on Indian "affairs today, brought to light -what appears to be one of the most gigantic- steals ever practiced updn the Indian tribes. Under the bill pending It is proposed to dispose of the coal lands of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians lor some nominal sum, estimated at $2,000,000 or $3,000,000. These lands are really worth at least $5,000,000, and will -produce to the Indians, under the terms at which they are now leased, 5103,000,000. The bill would have 'been recommended for passage today had not Mr. LaFollette asked the questions which brought to light the "nigger.'" Tomorrow it will be on for another hearing, and At that time, it is said by attorneys -representing the Indians, evidence will be produced to show that relatives of men high in the Interior Department are interested in the leases of these lands. The bill provides for the -final disposi tion of the affairs of the five -civilized' tribes. The Choctaw and the Chickasaw tribes have about 250,000 acres of coal land, of which 107,000 acres are under lease. Under the amendments the Umd is to be sold, the value of the leased lands to be determined by appraisers, one to be appointed by the Secretary of the Inte rior, one by the majority of the lessees, and these to select a third, the lessees to have preference in opportunity to pur chase at "the appraised value. In making the valuation the amendment provides that "said appraisers shall not consider any increased value on the land caused by improvements and developments placed thereon by said lessees. This land lias been developed for twenty years, and the effect of this clause wou!d be to cause the appraisement of the land practically at the value of 30 years ago. Senator Clark, a member of the commit tee, said when the valuation was made clear to him,- that apparently a big fraud had been thwarted. He said the land in question Is worth today $30,000,000 and will double in value In 10 years. The Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf Rail road Is the present lessee -of the lapd and would be the beneficiary under the bill, which noj bids fair to die In committee. The railway attorneys have been lobby ing for the bill for weeks, but rthe attor neys of the Indians have not been given a hearing. When they appeared before the committee last week they were told that they were too late, that they should have appeared before the committee when It had the Hill. Mr. "LaFollette told the full committee today that he would Insist on a full hearing being given to the. In dians' attorneys. - , CONFER ON WAGES TODAY Committees of Anthracite Operators and Miners Assemble. NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Tho anthracite mine operators, Including the presidents of the coal-carrying railroads and several Independent operators, came to a general agreement today as to the policy they will pursue at the conference to be held on Thursday between themselves on the one hand and the president and other rep resentatives of the United Mineworkers on the other. All the presidents of the anthracite rpads and a number of inde pendent operators are expected to "oe pres ent, and about 15 of the miners' commit tee, including President Mitchell. It is expected that the miners' commit tee win put forward its demands at the first meeting. The intention of the oper ators is then to adjourn the meeting In order to take time to consider heir reply. The president of one road said to the Associated Press today that, while tho operators knew their position, they will not reply hastily, but give due considera tion to the demands of tho union. Must Strike or Back Down. "The operators' position, elicited byx care ful canvass, is, as one president put It, such that "the miners will have to strike or back down." "We do . not propose," he said, "to ac , cede to their demands In any way, and tlon't see what else they can do but strike." It was stated that there are C.000,000 tons of coal already mined, which might serve as a reserve fund, not 10,000,000, as has .been stated. If a strike comes in March 710 serious hardship -to the public will ensue, but the operators say a- strike in jXovember would he another "matter. Miners Prepare Demands. The special scale committee of the an thracite mineworkers, numbering 36 men, tonight held its first meeting since com ing to New York, at which It., took up tho demands to be presented t) the operators. The subcommittee, which has had charge of getting the grievances In shapo for formal presentation to the employers, held an all-day session, "hut was unable to com plete Its work. In order to save time to morrow, it was decided to call tho full committee together tonight formally to go over trie work that has been completed. Mr. Mitchell and the other members of the committee remain silent as to tho exact nature of the demands to bo made. It Is understood, however, -that -the miners will put up a .strong fight for a change in the methods of the board of concilia tion. Tho mineworkers are dissatisfied with the present method of settling diffi culties, and say there always will bo fric tion until another method is found. There 1b a growing belief that,' if the operators will be liberal in granting concessions, the demand -for the recognition of the union may not be pressed. Edward McKay, of Pittsburg, a National organizer In the miners' union, who was sent for by Mr. Mitchell for the purpose of discussing the situation In the Pitts burg district, is ill in a Jersey City hos pital. He was taken sick on a train on his way to New York. His condition is TONIGHT , ' -FIRST . CONGREGATIONAL -CHURCH All music lovers "will want to at tend.

Wide each the best at its respective value The Benevolent Fund Contest Close$: The Final Result A BRIEF RESUME Pursuant to the usual custom of the OLDS, WOBTMAN k KING Store, at the close of each fiscal year which occurs on the 10th of February it will distribute an amount of money among the charitable institutions or organizations of Portland, known as its annual "Benevolent Fund." The amount of business done by the house the past year being considerably larger than in any previous year, the firm decided to increase its contribution to charity in proportioa to the busing prosperity accorded it by the public And as that same public was the great factor in bringing to the store that generous increase, for which it is earnestly ax4 sincerely grateful, its guiding powers decided to ask the people to direct as to how and in what pro'portion its fund for char ity should be divided. $2500.00 was set aside as the donation, to be divided in 15 parts, as follows: To the charity receiving the greatest number of votes, $750.00; to the one receiving the next greatest, $500.00; to the organization receiving the third largest, $300.00; to the fourth, $200.00, and to the fifth, $125.00. To the next five, each $75.00, and to the five others next in order, $50.00 each, the grand total aggregating the lump sum of $2500.00. The contest was first announced on Sunday, November 12, and the voting started the next morning, Monday, November 13, ending on Saturday last at closing time 6 P. M. Tremendous interest was aroused from the start and increased with the days. As the close drew near it came to fever heat, and many people, faithful and loyal each to his or her favorite charity, worked day and night, expending their time, energy and every resource in gathering the votes. Over 200,000 votes came in on the last day of the contest, and our counters were snowed under. With an added force we took up the task of making the last count Monday morning, finishing at 5 P. M. Up to almost the last moment first and second choice were in doubt. Last packages of votes were opened and the following result ascertained. To those who took such a great interest in the plan of division of the store's benevolent fund and made the contest so interesting, we are indeed grateful. To ther great public we d&sire to express our thanks for approval and support, and to those gentlemanly and accommodating representatives of the local daily press who gave their valuable time and services gratis Mr. Milburn, of the Oregonian; Mr. Hoffman, of the Journal, and Mr. Lee Hynson, of The Telegram as final examiners and judges of the careful methods and exact accuracy employed in the conduct of the entire contest, and in obtaining of the result appended below, we wish to express our cordial and sincere thanks. We thank yon alL and in return we can almost "hear you say to the store "A HAPPY AND PEOSPEROUS NEW YEAR."
