MEASURES PROPOSED
To be Enacted Into Laws by the
National Council.

The following is the full text Of
bill which will be introduced in
council this session to definitely
establish the rights of the white
adopted citizens of this nation:
Whereas, the Cherokee nation is
composed of various classes Of
citizens, some of whose rights are
not clearly defined in the existing
laws of the nation, and
Whereas, from time to time diff
ferences arise from absence of a
proper and definite understanding
OF the rights of each which nave
hitherto been so imperfectly de-
fined az TO cause friction and dis
satisfaction, and:
Whereas, the adopted white
people of this nation, male and
female, have ever recognized the
Cherokee nation as the final
arbiter in this and all other ques-
tions OF self government and have
never asked redress from any
other source than that of the con
stituted authorities OF this nation,
and:
Whereas, it now becomes ex.
tremely necessary that steps be
taken to preserve and keep intact
this Cherokee government for the
use and benefit of its citizens, re
gardless of race, color or previous
condition, therefore,
Be it enacted by the National
Council, that from and after the
passage of this act, all legally
adopted white citizens, male or
female, of this nation be taken
and deemed to be citizens, in full,
with all the rights, privileges and
immunities Of natural born Chero.
KEGS, except such restrictions as
are provided in the constitution;
provided always, that said Chero.
kee nation shall exercise full and
complete jurisdiction over all such
adopted citizens.

DRESS GOODS.

We can show you as nice a line
of fashionable Dress Goods as
you can find in the Cherokee ma
ton; in order to sell them we
must make our prices low. Come
in and see if that is not what we
have done.

Jim Keys has gone hnme, rooted
and grounded in tho opinion that
the National party has laid on the
shelf the very best talent it pos.
sesses. You see, Jim wanted to
be elected to the supreme judge

whose time is about to expire.

clings to him, despite his retire.
ment from the senate.

Senator Washbourne Of Della.
ware introduced 4 resolution pro.
viding for the enrolment of all
children of citizens born since the
las. census was taken. The reso-
luton was amended fixing Novem-
Der goth as tho date up to which
newly born children could be en-
rolled. This is only to provide
for an authentic roll OF citizens and
has no reference to the prospective
payment; the resolution passed
the senate.
***
1t is now practically settled that
Judge r. w. Walker will be
elected to the supreme bench to fill
the vacancy occurring on account
of the expiration of the official
term of Judge Alberty. There are
several aspirants for the position,
among whom might be mentioned
Jno. T. Drew, J. L. Ward and j.
NJ. Kegs. The selection of Mr..
Walker by the caucus is thought
to be a wise move on the part of
the Nationals. 1t will not only be
placing a competent man on the
bench. but will in measure pla
cate Judge Walker for being ousted
from the attorney-generalship, and
make him a friend and helper of
the Nationals.

The lower house has passed bills
admitting several families to citi-
zenship, but such measures will
call a halt when they reach the
senate. 1t is the open and avowed
policy of the senate to quarantine
against the hordes of applicants
that have come into the country
solely for the purpose of partici.
pating in the per capita payment
that will take place as soon as the
bonds can be placed.

The Old Settler Cherokees are
having somewhat of a wrangle
over the 80 per cent. that Major
Bryan was to receive. There is
also a difference of opinion as to
who are to go on the roll of Old
Settlers and receive money from
the claim rec GENTLY decided in their
favor by the supreme-. .2GaQrt Of the
United States. A majority seem
to favor paying the money equally
to the Old Settlers who drew in
1851 or 1852 and their descendants.
This is probably right, as the
Western Cherokees were as a
separate nation of themselves and
this money is theirs in common.

LOAN CERTIFICATES.
HOW THEY ARE ISSUED BY The
CLEARING HOUSES.

Modern Methods THAT Facilitate tho Bust
ness Of the Banks-Importancc of the
Clearing House In Times OF Financial
Stringsncy.
The commercial banks Of large CITIES
could not get along at all without their
clearing houses. for the abolition OF
these useful institutions would necessi-
tate a return % the Old messenger sys-
ten, under which banks had to send
every check received from q depositor 20
the bank on which IL was drawn and
have it settled in cash. The system
was cumbersome and slow, and II fire.
quently happened that even banks en-
ploying q large corps Of messengers
could rot make all their settlements IN
one day. This meant serious loss as well
rs inconvenience, for the delay involved
loss Of interest, and to overcome these
drawbacks the clearing house system
was devised. Under this system two men
for each bank accomplish in few min
utes the work that used to keep small
army of messengers running about town
for an entire day.
But this is not the only business OF
the clearing house nor that by which it
has attained its greatest Importance IN
the eyes OF the people, an Importance
largely magIified by recent events. Be

sides furnishing accommodations for the
quick settlement of balances for OF
against the banks, it has another method
of facilitating their business in times Of
financial stringency, when the amount
of money in circulation is so small as tC
make it impossible for some of them tC
settle their debts in ready cash. This
is done by the issuance of "loan certif
4teuiLas they are called, which are ex
the banks in lieu Of
o ont.la3 Ge'W 1, 7iblipg them to dc
business when they might otherwise have
TO close their doors though they were in
a perfectly solvent condition. During
the recent crisis the New York clearing
house issued over $40, 000,O worth of
these certificates, while the clearing
house in Boston loaned over $40 600 900
in the same way.
AS chairman of the New York clearing
house Frederick D. Tappen thus became
the virtual dictator of the fate of all the
banks clearing through his association,
which includes many besides those in its |
actual membership, since most of the city |
banks clear for one or more institutions |
located elsewhere. Such power as his is |
not lodged in the hands of any other man |
anywhere nor even in the board of gov |
errors Of the Bank of England. The |
manner in which he has used that power |
has won the approval of those most in
terested, and the comparatively few fail |
ures in New York's banking world tes-
tify to its wisdom.
Mr.. Happen has for many years been
president of the Gallatin National bank
of New York. He entered the service
of that bank as clerk over 40 years ago
and has been with it continuously ever
since, having filed almost every position
from entry clerk to president. Under
his management the bank has become
one of the best organized financial insti-
tutions in existence, and it was his sim
pie and direct methods Of doing business
there that suggested the desirability of
making him the practical head of the
clearing house where he could devote
his time to keeping the affairs of other
bankers as straight as he kept his own.
Another man who knows the banking
business from the ground up is n. G.
Smelling, the manager OF the Boston
clearing house, who has been most i'm

MIKE MARU ARRIVES.
She VIII Transact Her business
and Probably Return
Next Week.

The Japanese steamship Mike
Maru, Captain William Thompson,
was telephoned Mt 4 :45 AM. yester-
day eight miles off, and before Z
o'clock Pilot Lorenzen brought her
in and anchored her on the EVA
side of the United States cruiser
Philadelphia. DR.. Andrews, port
physician, and Messrs. G. B. Rey-
nolds and J. D. McVeigh, agents OF
the board of health, were the only
persons besides the pilot who
25=th.assrdedsu the steamer.
The Mike Maru y les s.1 fourteen
days from Yokohama. The ships
doctors presented a clean bill of
health. The eighteen-day quaran-
tine limit for vessels from infected
ports will expire next Friday, when
the Mike Maru will be allowed to
dock and land her 200 tons of
general merchandise and 1900 tons |
of coal for w. G.. Irwin q Co. She |
brought total of 1868 passengers
4 in cabin, % in steerage, and |
1912 Japanese immigrants, the lat
ter composed of 1911 men and 331
women.
The immigrants are said to be a
fine, healthy lot of people, their Sc
lection having been made very care
fully by the recruiting agents of
the government.
Mr.. Wray Taylor, secretary of
the board of immigration, went cut
in boat yesterday and transacted
his business alongside the steamer,
not being allowed on board. Mr.
remained on board the
steamer last night. The passen-
gers will be landed at the quaran-
line island this morning. The
Mike Maru will return to Yoko-
hama the early part of next week.

Z THEY LAND TO-DAY.
Adjust Their Trouble
Yesterday

The 1912 Japs, 1911 of whom
were males, who arrived here yes
terday on the Mike Maru, four
teen days from Japan, came very
near making the round trip from
the land of the Mikado. When
the steamer arrived yesterday she
was met by Wray Taylor, the
secretary of the board of immi-
grafton, who examined all the
papers relating to the contract lab
orers on board. He found that an
error had been made in an over
charge for the recruiting of the
laborers.
The japanese government some
time ago, asked the Planters Labor
and Supply Company for extra
fees, in the matter of obtaining the
contract laborers, and the request
or demand was refused, and word
to that effect reached Japan before
the Mike Maru left. A meeting
of the Supply Company was held
yesterday morning and a confer
ence was had with the cabinet in
the afternoon, and the result was
that the Japs will be allowed to
land this morning at Z o'clock.
AS the steamer is only fourteen
days out from japan the passen-
gers will be required to stay in
quarantine for four days after her
arrival here. Consequently, the
time will be up on Friday, and the
Japs will be taken to their respec-
tive destinations as soon thereafter
as practicable.

NO OPPOSITION.

The rumor that Republicans are op-
posing the confirmation of L. G.
Hughes as governor is without founda-
ton so far as the territory is concerned,
and if Republican senators are oppos-
ing the confirmation of Hughes they
are doing so without consulting the
Republicans OF the territory.
1t is the opinion of the Republicans
of Arizona that L. G. Hughes has fairly
earned the position to which he has
been appointed and that he should be
confirmed without delay. The policy
of opposing combinations for personal
reasons is bad and Repu blicans will not
lend themselves to the enemies OF
Hughes for this purpose.
L. G. Hughes is a Democrat, but
nevertheless he will make a good gov.
ernor and we hope to see him take his
seat this week.

there are "a, 900 fat Offices to be distrib-

consequence is that there is mad
