MANY LEASES INvALIDATED,
Federal Judge in IL Decision Says In.
dim Parent Cannot Rent Land
of His Minor Children.

Muskogee, l. IT,, July 15.-A decision
was handed down Tuesday by Judge G.
W. Raymond, United States judge for
the western district of Indian territory,
which will invalidate leases on 1000, 900
acres of Creek Indian lands and will
bring dismay to spectators and land
leasing companies. 1t is difficult to ap-
preciate the sweeping effect of the
courts holding. Judge Raymond has
held that the parent of an Indian has no
right to lease the land of his minor chill
dren unless he has by due course OF
legal procedure been made the legal
guardian. Cases where the parent has
been made the legal guardian of his chill
dren are rare in the extreme, hence
thousands of acres allotted to minors
that have been leased by their parents
have been let irregularly and the leases
will not stand.
In the Creek nation there are 3,O72 ,81a
acres of land. Of this 2.50O,OO0 acres
have been leased to outsiders 1t is
roughly estimated that only about 500.
600 acres have been leased legally, and

Doctors Pcrplrxcd,

None seem more perplcxed than the

the physicians the Dontiff may die at

those extraordinary intervals when his
mind and body present comparatively
sound appearance. All those around

hold definite opinions regarding the du-

The treaty with Colombia is still an
occasion of anxiety to the Administra-
ton. Secretary Hay has made all offer
which he regards as extremely liberal
and it is believed that only the feeling
that it would imperil his diplomatic ca.
reer prevents DR.. Herran from signing
the convention as it now stands. The
friends Of Colombia want the largest
possible annual income rather than a
large single payment which will be in
evitably wasted and may become the
occasion of revolution. On the other
hand, Colombian popular sentiment de-
mands large immediate payment with
large annuity in addition. DR.. Her.
ran has made fair bargain but even
now he appears to be afraid to attach
his signature to the document, especial
ly as Senior Concha has returned TO Co.
lombia to foment popular dissatisfaction
with the convention.
