Decision by Judge William Springer
in Suit by Persons Seeking
to Share Fund.

MUSkOGEE, I. T., December 4-In tn,
United States court for the northern dis
trlct of the Indian territory Judge William
Springer has rendered his decision in the
matter ot the application of certain per
sons to be enrolled as citizens of the Cher
ckee nation.
The court holds that those Indians who
nave separted themselves from the present
Cherokee nation, or from the old Cherokee
nation east of the Mississippi river. and
have taken up their residence in the
states, and have removed their effects ont
of the limits of the nation, and the eastern
band of Cherokee Indians who remained in
the states after the treaty of 1875 have
forfeited their rights and privileges as cit
liens of the nation. and that such persons
cannot regain their citizenship unless they
comply with the constitution and the laws
of the Cherokee nation, and be admitted
to citizenship as therein provided
The court recognizes the legislation of the
Cherokee natiCn constituting tribunals to
pass upon certain classes of citizenship
cases, ard concludes:
The acts of the Cherokee council in the
determination of applications for citizen
ship in the nation will be regarded as judg-
n:ents of a court and will be subject to the
same tests as to their validity
This ruling affects large class of prom
inent people in Georgia and North and
South Carolina and their descendants who
are scattered over the land, and trace their
ancestry back among the Cherokee In
clans. Among those affected are the Hub
bards of the southwest and the Grays of
New England
The opinion affects more than 4. 600 peo-
pie who are applicants for citizenship in
the Cherokee nation and property interests

GEN. HENDERSON HERE AGAIN
One of the Most Notable Figures I'm
Congress.

General henderson of Iowa has came back
| to Washington for the session of Congress-
reJuVenated-almost like a new man built
on Inc lines of his youth. Having had his
leg amputated again, he seems quite re-
lreshed. Some sort of very substantial ma
terlai is used in the construction of sucb
men, His leg has been under the knife
seven times since the original amputation
curing the war. The first amputation was
little above the foot. The last was above
the knee.
General Henderson is now chairman of
,he rouse judiciary committee. Formerly
ne was one OF the most active members of
the appropriations committee Everybody
IN Congress calls him Dave" Henderson,
Everybody likes him because ne is
So so aihlaoie and jolly. Most men,
pers 1eaf him as antagonist in
debate because he is such an unconscion-
ipie fshter. In twenty years there have
peen but three or four men in Congress
with lung power equal to him. and there is
an energy and eloquence about his ADDRESS
which Is apt TO drive an antagonist off his
bearings. Most men get more or less ILL
ilatured when they suffer greatly, but with
AZ 'ii ~ =. - almost the reverse-if possible he
Is better natured under pain
II Is most remarkable thing the way h.
ana .hat piece of leg of mis- have contend
eu Ior mastery. In the first place tne
p1lles Oh mis- ankle were shivered by a shot.
II II the foot could, and he held out against
amputation TO. several months During
the seven times his leg has been under the
knife since then he has taken gas but
twice. e '"'
lie Is most energetic worker-one of the
mCst active men in Congress- During the
last session of the Fifty-fourth Congress
and the extra session of this Congress he
was great sufferer, as he has been at in
terVals before, as a premonition of another
amputation. 1t pulled something off his
nesh, but never contracted or modified the
am:ability of the smile with which he met
all classes Of people When he saw that
the leg was getting the best of him he de-
c:Ged TO have another piece taken off. This
was the most serious operation he had
been compelled to endure as it had to come
on above the knee. He neglected his cor
respondence for just nine days on account
of the operation. Four days before the
operation was performed the doctor ordered
him to Atlantic City to take a couplete
rest, SO that he could determine whether
the amputation would be necessary. Dur
ing that time he did no work Again when
the operation was performed he had To
give his stenographer holiday, but on tho
fourth day he was debating letters. The
second day after the amputation he was
playing whist.

SPEAKER REED SHOWS RESERVE.
He Does Not Care to Discuss Prob
o.. - = able LcgiSln tio.a,

Speaker Reed was at the Capitol TODAY.
and received 1. lumber of callers among
them Messrs. Cannon and Daizell and other
OF the recognized leaders on the floor, with
whom he informally discussed matters per-
tanning to the business of the session,
Speaker Reed is locking remarkably WELL
lie Will not discuss the probabilities of the
session., but it is evident from the general
drift of his remarks to the many callers
who have seen him both at the Shoreham
since his arrival yesterday afternoon, and
at his room at the Capitol today that he
anticipates rather short session. This an
ucipatlon, OF course. implies that he does
not expect Congress to be tied up ON any
seriously disputed question.
IL is opservant that members who have
talked with him since his arrival take
very conservative view of what Congress
Will do or will undertake during the ses-
slon Ihis seems to be rather from an i'm
preston they get from talking with him
than from anything he has said directly,
since he shows reserve about making sug-
sestions at this time
10 a Star reporter who called on him this
morning he said that he did not care to
discuss the question Of what Congress
might or might not do, as it would be spec
ulative. He said that he had been enjoying
good health, and he seemed to be in the
best of spirits.

Views of Georgia Woman Under

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
ATLANTA, Ga, December AIRS. No
hes the condemned murderess, was asked
for an expression of opinion concern
ing the law about to be taken up by the
general assembly for the prevention Of
capital punishment of women in the state.
II have he lrd about that law" said Mrs.
Mobiles, land l think 1t is a mighty good
one. 1t does seem hard to see woman
hanging to rope in our country as pun
ishment for a crime.
Women are rarely guilty of deep, dark
crime, such as ought to be punished in that
way Women are much better than men
of this world. they ought not to be placed
on the same plane in the matter of punish
ment for crime
Women suffer a heap from the crimes
men commit, which are never told in the
court house. The man usually starts the
trouble, but he is more cunning than a
woman and hides it. He covers his tracks
like fox. The woman is different; she is
what she is and all the world knows 1t"
