of Eleven Petitioners.

The decision of the Court of Appeals for

compel him to ratify the allotment oil
certain lands to them rather complicates
the situation SO far as the Government is
concerned.
The petitioners are white men, claim
ing to be members CT the Wichita tribe
of Indians by adoption. The lands in
question are a part of the Wichita reser-
walton.
The litigation was begun in the Su-
prcme Court of the District in August

the controversy is whether or not white

against the Secretary OF the Interior pro-
testing against his refusal to approve of
certain allotments of quarter sections of

they were entitled by virtue of a certain
agreement entered into between the
United States. wherein the United States
expressly agreed to allot to each mem

The petitioners recite in their petitions
for mandamus that they were adopted

that they had lived on the. premises for
many years; made many valuable i'm
provements thereon. The consideration
of their becoming party TO the agree
ment whereby they agreed 10 convey their
lands to the United States, they allege, was
that each of said Indians was to have the
exclusive right 10 first select his own
homestead as his allotment or portion of
lands. and that the agreement referred to
gave them this exclusive right. which
agreement was ratified and approved
by act of Congress. .f

nit Plan to Secure
Them.
PROVISIONS OF NEW METHOD
End in View Is the Extension Of Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth Streets With
out Cost to National Government and
Small Outlay by District.

A plan to secure rights of way for street
extensions, without cost to the National
Government, and small cost to the Dis
trict Government, designed to meet the
views and suggestions of Senators and
members of the House of Representatives
has been submitted to Congress in behalf
of the Brightwood Citizens Association
and the Washington County Orphan Asy-
lum. and other proposed donors along the
lines of Thirteenth and Fourteenth Streets
extended, pursuant to Senate bill. No.
1882, to extend Fourteenth Street. and
Senate bill No. 1910, to extend Thirteenth
Street.
Provisions of New Method.
The new method provides a small physi
cal improvement and assesses both bene-
fits. the Improvement, and completing the
right of way, upon adjacent land owners
not donating to same, to the extent OF
the value of the right of way.
An arithmetical comparison of the old
and the proposed method as applied to
Fourteenth Street extended shows the
s33. 100 recommended by the Commissioners
and the Senate committee last year. un-
der the old method, still preferred by the
Commissioners, would have secured the
right of way on Fourteenth Street for only
1875 running feet. The same amount ex-
pended under the new method will secure
the right of way On Fourteenth Street for
$3.50 running feet, including the above.
and improve the street for about $500
feet.

for and dismissed each of the eleven pc
titions for mandamus on the ground that
the action of the Secretary of the Interior
was judicial in its nature and could not
be reviewed nor controlled by the courts.
The Secretary denied the power of a
tribe of Indians to adopt a white man
without his approval. This petition was
upheld by the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict.
The Court of Appeals in reversing the
lower court holds with the contention of
the petitioners that the power and au-
thority Of the tribe to adopt cannot be de-
MED. in view of the history of Indian
tribes for $50 years past, and the recog-
milton uniformly given by the Government
to their acts of adoption.
The effect of this decision is very i'm
portant and puts the matter of tribal
members entirely in the control Of the
tribes themselves.
The position of the Interior Depart
ment always hitherto has been. it Is said,
that Indians had no control of the mat
ter of adoption into their tribes except
as the same might be approved OF by the
Secretary of the Interior. Under this rul-
ing the rights of many adoptees have
been denied.
Gives Greater Ere >dun.
The decision in this case by the Court
of Appeals, therefore. is calculated to have
the effect Of giving the various Indian
tribes greater freedom in the manage
ment of their own affairs than they have
ever enjoyed before.
The decision OF the Court of Appeals
holding that white persons are legal MEM
bers of the Indian tribes by adoption and
h1t ha rt If ha fa in in
to approve their allotments was unjusti-
fable and subject to control by the writ
OF mandamus is likewise Of great i'm
portance to Indian tribes generally and
those claiming right to allotments on
their lands.

SOBRIETY OF JUROR
TO BE DETERMINED
Basis of Motion for New Trial
in Thomson Will Case.
Chief Justice Bingham Takes the Matter
Under Advisement-Confict-
ing Affidavits.

Hearing on the motion fer new trial
in the case of Keely and others against
Moore and others. involving the validity OF
the will Of William Thomson. jr.. was re-
sumed yesterday morning before Chief
Justice Bingham, presiding in Circuit
Court No. 1.
The principal point of difference be-
tween counsel on either side is in rela-
tion to the conduct OF Robert P. Searcy,
member of the jury which returned the
verdict 1t is alleged by counsel moving
for the new trial that Mr.. Searcy was IN
toxicated while considering the case, and
this is denied by opposing counsel Both
the morning and afternoon sessions Of the
court were occupied in hearing the argu-
ments of counsel.
Subject of Oral Testimony.
The matter of the sobriety Of the juror
mentioned was the subject Of oral testi-
mony given by the other members OF the
special panel. and also of persons who
were in the court room during the last
hours of the trial. Five of the members
of the jury testified that Searcy acted as
il he had been drinking, while five others
stated that they did not notice anything
unusual in his conduct. The juror who sat
next to Searcy in the jury box testified
that he several times touched him to
awaken him.
There was an affidavit filed in the case
made by Searcy in which he admitted that
he drank whiskey on the last day OF the
trial. and that he felt drowsy. and did
not hear all of the charge Of the court.
He also filed another affidavit contradict
ing these statements, and stating that 1t
was not his intention to affirm such
things.
The motion for a new trial was con-
tended for by Attorneys Charles c. Cole
and Leo Simmons, and opposed by Messrs.
Lambert & Baker. Chief Justice Bingham
took the matter under advisement.
