CHOCTAW INDIANS ALWAYS RESTLESS Mississippi Clans Said to Be Con- tinually Quarreling Muskogee, Okla, March 1M—Four- teen hundred members of the Choc- taw Indian tribe residing in the state of Mississippl are in a deplorable condition, in the opinion of Peter J. Hudson of Tuskahoma, member of the Oklahoma Choctaw ' tribe, who has returned from a month's mission among the Mississippi Indians. Mr, Hudson and the late Monsigneur W. H. Ketcham of Oklahoma City were delegated by Indian Commissioner Burke to make an finvestigation of the condition of the tribe in that gtate. Monsigneur Ketcham died sud- denly at Philadelphia, Miss, while engaged in the work. Always Quarreling. The 1,400 Mississippi Choctaws are divided into ten clans and they are constantly quarreling, according to Mr. Hudson. Originally their an- cestors were members of the Choctaw {ribe that migrated to Indian Terri- tory hir the early 30's. They have made no progressive steps in the past 100 years, Mr. Hudson says, and he declares their greatest need is edu- cation. Their sole occupation s farming and as such they are tenant farmers of whites. Need Education. “I am firmly convinced that by ed- ncation alone can the customs and barriers of a hundred years' standing be broken,” says Mr. Hudson, *“to im- press the Choctaws with the respop- sibilities of citizenship. Today théy exercise no right of franchise and are not on terms of social equalfy with the white citizens of Mississippi.” “It will ‘require many years to bring about the education of the young Choctaws of Mississippl.” FREE STATERS TO SEND ENVOYS HERE Picrce Beaslal, Supporter Of Irish Treaty, Will Head Delegates To United States Dublin, March 10.—(By Associated Press)—Pierce Beaslai, vigorous sup- . porter of the Anglo-Irish treaty heads the delegation of advocates of the Ivish free state who will leave for the for grippe, influenza, fainting, colds, catarrhal pains, sore throat, headache, bronchitis, asthma, croup, etc. The favorite family liniment for more United States on the steamer Aquita- nia next Saturday.
