Jones and Clarke investigated and were (convinced that .several Indians .were burned. They say the "Indians were killed In the fight and their bodies cre mated by their companions. Trouble Over Year Old. Trouble has been brewing in this sec tion for a year over the allotment of lands. Crazy Snake persuaded his clans men, many of them negroes and half breeds, not to accept the allotment. The old chief stands for all the traditions of his race, especially that of the unre stricted hunting-grounds. Although many of hi tribesmen secretly sent their al lotments, they dared not tell their leader, who would have expelled them from the community. For a year the redmen and negroes, refusing to remain on their farms, had lived as nomads, to the great detriment of chicken-roosts, clotheslines and pas tures. Deputy Sheriff Fatee started a week ago for the Hickory Stanmping Grounds to arrest an Indian who had sold his farm too often. The warrior seized a rifle and refused to inhabit the white man's jail. His comrades also armed themselves and the deputy retreated. Outbreak Was Sadden. The following day Wednesday Fatee returned with a small posse, Including farmers named Krops, Johnson and Faw ler. whose homes, being near the Stamp ing Grounds, were in Jeopardy. Fawler received a load of buckshot In The others retreated and the Indians ceieorated their victory by riddling with bullets the homes of Krops, Johnson and FhwUt. Meanwhile Crazy Snake was at his home near Pierce, about 15 n.llo. frnn. here. He had passed some time in Wash ington, and the Creeks were gathering from far and near to hear his report. Sheriff Odom, regarding the old chief tain as at the bottom r h rmiMmira which had been met. resolved upon his arrest, it was in this attempt that the Sheriff's son and Demit v rtaitm wn killed by a volley fired from Crazy pnaup s nouse. This started the trouble. Governor Haskell ordered the First Regiment. Oklahoma National Guard, to the scene", and another and larger posse was formed.

TAXES PAID SEVEN YEARS American Smokers Have Lost $15, 900,000 on War Charges. WASHINGTON. March 30. What is designated as a "joker" that cost the consumers of tobacco in this country nearly 46,O00,O0O was found today in the existing revenue laws, by Representative Dawson of Lowa, who at once Introduced a bill to correct the error by restoring packages- to their original sizes. Under the Dlngley tariff the two-ounce packages of tobacco sell to the consum er at 5 cents each, and the four-ounce packages for 10 cents. In 1898 a war rev enue tax of 6 cents a pound additional was levied. At the same time, in order to serve the convenience of the trade, authorization was given for the reduc tion of the size of packages from 2, 3 and 4 ounces to 2 and 3 1-3 ounces, thus enabling the smoker to procure a five cent and a ten-cent package of tobacco "at the store." The war revenue tax was repealed, but the packages of tobacco remained the same size. Since 1902 the consumers of tobacco have been paying the eaulva- lent of the war revenue tax to manufac turers.

There is Imminent danger that the Payne tariff bill will be seriously delayed In Its con struction by the House. President Taft conferred today with Speaker Cannon, Representatives Payne and Dalzell. It Is understood that the House leaders Im pressed the Chief Executive with the un favorable situation regarding the hill and the difficulty of getting the Republican members In line to vote for a rule which would expedite the passage of the measure. It was conceded tonight by several Re publican leaders that It would be Im possible to pass a rule restricting amend ments to the bill until some time next week, and then only by granting the de mands made by a number of members that certain important schedules be open to amendment. Those members who op pose a caucus do so on the ground that it would attract the attention of he country to the fact that the members of the majority in the House are at odds regarding the bill. As a means of settling the differences that exist and securing general support to a rule restricting amendments entirely to those which the ways and means com mittee will offer, they propose that the committee should recommend changes that will take the countervailing duty on coffee out of the bill and strike out the tariff on tea. The Reupblican whips are .making a canvass of the majority members to learn whether a great number favor or op pose the holding of a caucus.
