THE INDIAN LAND OPENING.
Secretary Hitchcock Will be Ready to Meet the Disgruntled Obstructionists.
Washington, July 24.—Secretary Hitchcock said with reference to the effort to prevent the opening of the Oklahoma Indian lands to settlement by injunction proceedings at El Reno, that the preparations of the department for the opening would proceed as though no suit had been begun. “We shall not let the matter go by default,” he said, “but we apprehend no obstacle from that proceeding. Anyone can bring a suit.”
An Absurd Proposition.
The secretary took cognizance of reports coming from Oklahoma that men who are registering at Reno and Fort Sill are doing so with the intention of transferring their rights to others. “The report,” he said, “is to the effect that they can and will dispose of their numbers at enormous profits. That is absurd, because it is impossible, under the regulations, for them to transfer their rights. For any of them to attempt to do so would be a clear violation of the law. They take an oath not to do such a thing, and to use their rights for their own exclusive benefit. There can be no speculation in these numbers.”
