Justice 6ernsrd Renders Decision in
Indian Land Cases.
IBy Associated Press. ]

Washington, D. c., Aug 30.--"A
whiteman does not become donation
allied by his adoption by an Indian
tribe" sa' Justice Bernard of the
supreme court of the District Of Co
lumbia today, in disposing of what
are known as the Indian land claim
cases. The question came up in con
nectlon with the consideration of the
claims of certain white men, who had
Oeen adopted as members of Indian
tribes and as such claimed the right
to select certain quarter sections Of
land in Oklahoma territory.
The court held that the claimants
adoption could not take from them
their American citizenship or alter
the relationship between them and
the government of the United States.
The question of legal title of the
claimants to certain lands in Oklaho-
ma was presented to the court on Aug.
5 in a petition asking the court TO is
sue q writ of maudamus against the
secretary of the interior to compel
him to approve the selections of land
they had made. The petitioners also
asked that the secretary of the inter.
icr be enjoined from throwing open
for settlement the lands I'm dispute.
Secretary Hitchcock contended that
his action In the matter was purely
discretionary. The court in passing
upon the matter, sustained this view
of the cases.

.GCHLEY CASE MAY
CONCERN OTHERS
AdmiraI'S Lawyers Expect
to Show Neglect OF Duty
by I'BOb" Evans

Dy AnnANAhANN ANnnsl
Washington, Aug. 30.-Unless the
lawyers who are preparing the de.
fense Of Admiral schley make a signal
failure Of PROOF the court Of inquiry
will furnish material for several other
courts OF inquiry--perhap .,., one
court martial
They expect to prove that Admiral
Schley was not responsible for the de
lay at Cienfuegos. In order to do that.
they will be compelled to show that
Rear Admiral Evans saw the signals
of the Cubans on the beach twenty
four hourg before Capt. McCalla arriv-
ed on the blehead and gave Com
modore Sen the information that
code of signais Rod been agreed up
on and that the Cubans were trying
to communicate with him.
Admiral Evans is the only one Of
the captains with Schley at that time
who has acknowledged that he saw
those signals. The other captains
who had been informed of the exist
ence of the code may have seen the
signals OF che Cubans. but il they did,
and failed to inform Schley, they have
not Informed the public Of thai fact
Evans Saw the Signals.
Admiral Evans, however in his
book "A Sailors Log" and in some
Of his interviews has stated that the
Cubans signalled that they desired a
conference AS soon as McCalla told
Schley about the code the Commo-
dore went to see the Cubans A few
hours after learning from them that
the Spanish squadron was not in CT
enfuegos he sailed for Santiago, as
Simpsons orders said he should.
The Cusnns had no opportunities
to make signals after the arrival Of
McCalla. so it Evans saw any signals
he saw those made before Schley knew
there was a code.
The attorneys for Schley expect
to bring out these facts so plainly
that Evans, if he desires to clear hint
self of charge of failing to inform
his superior of what was going on or
to vindicate himself for his failure,
will have to ask for cou.t of inquiry.
Evans cannot be court martialed, be-
cause his failure to report to Schley
a very important fact occurred more
than two years ago
But Admiral Sampson is not so for
tunate. There is not very much
doubt that he saw the proofs OF tho
naval history which has caused this
reorudesence Of the schley. Sampson
controversy. He read them and ap-
proved the account of the battle.
May Involve Sampson.
In an Interview with reporter
Sampson said that what Macclay
wrote about schley is true. BY ap-
proving the proofs and by saying
Maclay's account of the battle is cor.
rect Sampson, schley's partisans
maintain, is guilty Of an attack on his
superior officer, which cannot be ov-
erlooked especially If the court OF
inquiry vlndicates Schley's conduct.
While Schley's lawyers are not dis
closing their plans 1t is well under
stood that Schley's advisers favor
forcing action against the officers who
have kept the charges against the ad
miral alive.

Some Strange and Curious TRANSACT
tions That Are Advertised in
New York Paper.

An evening New York newspaper
is devoting several columns each day
to such of the public as have some-
thing they wish to trade for some-
thing else. Some queer propositions
are advanced from all sorts of peo-
pie. One man has an accordion that
he wants to swap for parrots cage.
Another wants to turn 1000 pieces of
copyrighted music into clothing. An
other has a sewing machine to trade
for "A canary. These all seem music
ally inclined. A rubber plant is of
fered for pet dog. Some coin crank
has dollar of the coinage of 1874
to trade for one of 1900. AZ banjo is
offered for a small house. dog or
typewriter. Very timely iss@S "life-
size bust of Edward VII, which will
exchange for roll-top desk or other
equivalent" A marble washstand is
the temptation held out to some one
who wishes to be rid of second
hand piano. An oil painting of
'Venus at the Bath" is offered in ex-
change for stamp collection or a
bulldog. ~
But the coolest offer of all is to
trade the medical diploma of de-
ceased physician for diamonds.

WHERE WOMEN ARE NEEDED.
According to Recent Census British
Colonies Can Absorb large
Number of the Fair Ones. 2

According to figures taken from
the recent census of the British col
onies there is considerable short
age of women of manageable age.
In two of these colonies-Australia
and Canada-there is chance for
100000 more to gain husbands and
homes.
According to the latest figures the
population of New South Wales con-
sists of 100000 males and 62s,000 fe-
males. Here is a deficiency. OF 100,-
900.
In Victoria the discrepancy is not
so marked, but in other colonies the
difference is proportionately larger.
In New Zealand, for INSTANCE, there
is an excess of $4,000 males.
Perhaps if the women realized how
much they are needed there they
would 90 in beyies. 1t is said, how
ever, that they are too timid to ven-

thing should be done to equalize the
sexes, both in the colonies and at
home.

HIS WISH GAINED AT LAST.
Many Years Through which Attorney
General GTisgs waited Patiently
to Address the Supreme Court.

After his great speech on the
colonial test case had been delivered
in the supreme court ihe other day,
and he had received the congrat ula-
tions Of many members of The bar
and prominent senators upon his
success, Attorney General Griggs
told me of his first visit to the SUI
preme. court chamber. IT was years
ago, according to Golfers Weekly,
when he was young and struggling
lawyer. He knew no one in Wash
ington except the congressman from
his district. This congressman took
him to the supreme courtroom, and
as the slender young lawyer sat and
looked at the nine black-robcd JUS
tices and realized that they consti-
tuted the greatest tribunal on earth
he says he heaved a sigh and said
to himself: "Rcforc | die | want the
honor of standing just once before
that court and addressing it upon a
case of law" Little did the young
lawyer then think that he was GO
ing to have the great privilege not
only of addressing the court, but of
speaking to it as the representative
of the United States government
upon the most important question
the court has considered in genera
tion if not in its history
