Homes for Many Thousands Of Settlers
Mil. He Provided.


Before the end OF the present year the
Indian nations occupying the Indian Terri
tory Will have begun their finai dissolution,
and their members will have become citi-
zens OF the United States, tribal relations
will be broken up, and the entire country
opened 20 settlement. Under section OF
the hill organizing the Territory of Okla
homa forty members OF the Cherokee tribe
have made application 10 Judge j. NJ. Shack
elford. of the United States District Court,
To become citizens of the United States
and to receive their lands in severalty
from their portion OF the Cherokee
strip. These applications will he heard by
Judge Shackelford ut Ardmore the latter
part of the present month. Great interest
centers In this action, as it will virtually
open up the Indian Territory 20 settlement
by dividing the land belonging 10 the vari-
Gus tribes In severalty, permitting indl-
vidual Indians to sell or dispose OF all or
any portion of their shares at will. Home
seekers who have for many years been
anxious to get into that rich agricultural
region can do SO by purchasing
land direct from individual Indians.
The action of the forty Cherokees brought
before Judge shackelford Is unquestonably
based on reliable information from WASH
ington To the effect that the Secretary of
the Interior believes, and has expressed IL
as his opinion, that the Cherokees as II
tribe have no legal right TO the Cherokee
strip, and that IL may be opened 10 settle
ment without regard To their claims. They
claim that IL these rich lands are To be
opened To settlement their people should
derive the benefit. and have them divided
in severalty before the Government de-
clares they have no legal right TO them.

SEVERE WEATHER IN EUROPE.
Many Deaths Caused by the Unusually
Cold Winter.

Ii Is now the seventh week OF the preva-
lence OF frost throughout the United King
dom OF Great Britain and Ireland, with no
signs OF abatement OF the severity OF the
weather. From John O'Groat's House to
Lands End the country Is wrapped in snow,
and canals and creeks are frozen fast For
duration OF the frost period this is the
greatest winter OF the century, and in point
OF severity the winters Of 1913 and 1914
alone exceeded IL. Fairs were then
held on the Thames, Severn, Tyne and
Tweed. Booths were reared the ice
and all the usual fair frolics were held
thereon. Numerous deaths have resulted
from the extreme cold, several OF them at
the very gates of warehouses where groups
OF poor people were waiting for shelter.
Midland newspapers declare that thousands
OF persons In that region are i'm a condition
OF semi-starvation, many laborers being
compulsorily idle, without fires or food.
Mayors OF cities, with the aid OF local
boards are directing an organized distribu-
tion OF bread and coal and are starting re-
lief kitchens, still they fail to reach
a host OF cases OF distress. Numerous
instances occur OF coroner's inquests
on the bodies OF people found dead in
bed. where the verdict is that death re-
suited from cold and hunger. In every
country on the continent there is suffering
because OF the severe weather, The coasts
OF Belgium, Holland, and North Germany
are blocked with ice. In the Scheldt River
navigation is nearly at standstill on ac-
count OF the ice At the North German
port OF Cuxhaven twenty-nine steamships
are ice-bound. Pilots there are unable 20
communicate with vessels on account of
the ice-foes making the harbor inaccessible.

LAMAR Is GROWING FEEBLE.
The Justice May he Forced soon to Leave
the Supreme Bench.


Justice Lamar's growing feebleness is re-
marked by all frequenters Of the Supreme
Court. at the Presidents New Years re-
ception he appeared with the other JUS
tices, but most OF the time he appeared To
be in one of his old-time reveres, forgetful
of all his surroundings. 1t is said that he
finds the routine work OF the court irksome
and often only gives his attention TO the
arguments going on by the greatest exercise
of will power. Since President Cleve-
land put him on the bench To crafty a
personal friendship Justice Lamar has
never lightened the labors OF the court
much. though he has faithfully sought to
perform the work assigned to him by the
Chief Justice in writing opinions. In the
not improbable event OF Justice Lamar's
retirement within the next year OF so he
would not be able to enjoy the pay OF a
Supreme Court Justice because he would
not have had ten years continuous service
on the bench. Nor would he have reached
the age OF 20. But he has a comfortable
private fortune.
