Of the Kiowas and Commanders has re-
ported the serious situation to the de
partment He urges that the government
at once decide upon the manner in which
the reservation shall be opened. At pres
ent, he says. there are thousands of
"sooners" within the limits ana about
the immediate borders of the reservation,
waiting to take advantage Of the infor-
nation gained by prospecting the best 10
cations. There IS no wa yto prevent
these sooners. from entering the reserva-

the purpose of crossing these lands. has
never been denied. These sooners show
a determination to Hnger about the de-
sired grounds until the formal opening Of

proclaimed. Many Of theRs are known to
be merely spectators, and not honest
honeseekers and apparently they are
getting ready for the expected run to

bles information bureaus have been es-
tabIished by outsiders. To remedy tie
threatened evil the agent recommends
that some other method than by the
usual run for the locations be adopted
when the lands are declared open. The
agent does not indicate what means
would be preferred, but the interior de-
parment officials are impressed with the
statements and viii take action upon

INTERESTING QUESTION RAISED
can a Child Born OF $. hite Wan be an
ERdlang

Guthrie. O. T., Jan. s.-The Capitals
correspondent at Washington says. An
Interesting question has arisen at The N
dian office in connection with the right
Of a child born of a white man and In
dian woman since June Z. 1887, To par
tcipated in the division Of the tribal prep
erty. In 1883 congress passed an act bar
ring children of white men and Indian
women from citizenship IN the In ian
nation. The theory upon which this law
was based was, that the father, being
a white man was a citizen of the UniteI
States, and that the child Therefore, was
a citizen also The Indian mother might
retain her membership in the tribe bur
her children were excluded from mem
bership. In 1897 the question was raised
and provision was inserted in the an
nual appropriation bin providing as fol-
lows;
THAT all chcIdren born Of a marriage
heretofore soIemnized between a white
man and an Indian woman BY blood and
not by adoption, where said Indian wo-
man is at this time. or was at the time
of her death, recognized by the tribe
shall have the same rights and privileges
to the property Of the tribe to which
the mother belongs, or belonged at the
time of her death, by blood, or as any
member of the tribe, and no prior act of
congress shall be construed as TO debar
such a child Of such right
1t was generally supposed that this
lay repealed the act Of 1889. Recently
however, a case was brought to the at
tentlon Of the Indian Office from the
Usage nation Of a child of an Indian w9-
man who sought membership in the tribe
and had been refused The application
was submitted by Francis DoneIson.
whose mother is full blooded Usage
Indian and whose father was a white
man. The citizenship of the child was
disputed by members of the nation and
an appeal to the Indian Office a decision
had been rendered to the effect that the
law Of 1897 provides that "aH children
born of a marriage heretofore" solemn
lied are entitled to citizenship, but that
children born Of marriages solemnized
since that date. are not entitled to CHI
zenship under a strict Interpretation Of
the law.
The case has been referred to the in
terror department for decision by Secre-
tary Hitchcock. His opinion is beng
awaited with interest. as should he sus-
tain the decision of the indian Office. it
would bar a large number Of citizens
Of the Earious tribes throughout the
United States from participating in the
tribal funds and annuities.
