CLASH mjE SEMATE
CoBtroversy Between Senators
Owen and Cortis.
CAUSED CONSIDERABLE STIR
Controversy Arose In Connection with
the Consideration of the Indian Bill.
Both Senators Have Indian Blood
In Their Veins.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 28.—One
of the most dramatic scenes ever wit
nessed in the senate was enacted on
Thursdiay when Senator Robert L.
Owen, of Oklahoma, insisted in trag
ic tones and with face showing much
emotion that the five tribes of civil
ized Indians were dead, and that he,
as a member of the tribe of Cherokee
Indians, was not under the control of
the secretary of the interior.
The event was rendered all the more
interesting by the fact that Mr. Otwen
was sharply engaged in controversy
by Senator Charles Curtis, of Kan
sas, himself a Kaw Indian. It was
the first time that two men with In
dian blood in their veins had ever lock
ed horns as senators in the senate
chamber.
The controversy arose in connection
with the consideration of the Indian
bills, and was precipitated by an effort
on the part of Mr. Owen to have that
bill so' amen<fed as to recognize the
citizenship of the five civilized tribes
of Indians by putting the word “late”
before this designation and calling
them “the late five civilized tribes.”
The clash caused quite a ripple of
excitement in the chamber.
