He said that the elec tion of a State chairman under the party law and also for every reason of party interest, should not have been taken up until the convention was held to nominate a State ticket, but that since the convention had made that mistake, It could now stop and postpone the election of a State Committee until that time.

Special to The Caucasian. Washington, D. C, May 5. On Wednesday of last week, Judge Ste vens, of Texas, introduced in ihe House a resolution with reference to the alleged charges of bribery against the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian Citizenship Court, and directing the House Committee on Indian Affairs to proceed to investigate said charg es and report the result of their finding to the House. On the same day, Senator Davis, of Arkansas, introduced a similar res olution in the Senate, instructing the Senate Committee to make the same investigation. It is thought that a Congressional Investigation would be ordered, and that it would be conducted by a joint committee of the two Houses. Much evidence with reference to the conduct and environment of that court In rendering the decisions that they did, denying to so many Indians their rights, ' and with reference to the very large fee awarded by the court to attorneys, whom, it is claim ed, were specially favored by the court all during the trial of the cases as well as in fixing the fee, has al ready been filed with one or both of the Committees.
