INDIANS BRING SUIT
DAMAGES CLAIMED IN THE SUM
OF 81, 100000.
SEQUEL to Suit Decided in District Su-
preme Court-Attack on Dawes
Commission.

Following the decision, rendered yester-
day by Justice Anderson of the supreme
Court of the District Of Columbia. refusing
an Injunction in the case involving the
right Of the Secretary Of the Interior 10
pass on about 600 acres of land IN the
Cherokee nation segregated for the use OF
the Delaware Indians, Attorney waiter .
Logan filed a petition in the Court OF
Claims on behalf Of the Delawares against
the United States asking that damages De
awarded in the sum Of 81 ,O0O,OOO. Damages
are sought, 1t Is explained, because OF the
expenses to which the Indians have peen
subjected by reason Of the necessity or de-
Tending title to their lands. In this petition
they make some sensatio statements.
One of the accusations Is to the effect
that members Of the Dawes commission are
interested in oil leases and companies mold
ing leases made upon their lands by Chero-
KEGS claiming title. Mentioning the men,
bers of the commission by name, the petit
ton alleges
The Charges Made.
Notwithstanding the lands have been
properly segregated, the Dawes commits
sion, disregarding their official duties as
agents of the United States toward your
petitioners have conspired and confeder-
ated, and are conspiring and confederating
together and together with the said COM
panies to cheat and defraud your petition
ers SO as to gain possession of their lands
for themselves or for their said companies,
under pretense of allotting the lands In
their official capacity as the Dawes COM
mission, to divers persons who are willing
to enter into contracts OF lease and sale
with representatives Of said trust and land
companies, in which the members OF said
Dawes commission are interested, and said
Dawes commission and the members there
of have thus wrongfully allowed. and after
making Of said segregation, as hereinbe-
fore referred to, continue to allow filings to
be made upon parts of the lands of your
petitioners, SO segregated as aforesaid. and
over which said commission has ceased
legally to have any further jurisdiction or
control, but are wrungfully assuming the
same and said Dawes commission and the
members thereof, after said segregation
was made, allowed more than two hundred
persons not Delawares, to make selections
for homes upon parts Of the said Delaware
lands so segregated as aforesaid, and have
allowed such persons to file applications
for allotments thereon. and have sought. by
recommendations contained in their report
of April 20, 1903, to the Secretary Of the
Interior, to cause steps to be taken to pre-
vent the Supreme Court Of the United
States from rendering such judgment in
the cause now pending therein as would
confirm in your petitioners the title to said
157 600 acres, so segregated as aforesaid"
The Secretary Of the Interior is charged
with unlawful acts to defraud the Indians,
such as that OF encouraging white men
who have married squaw wives to make
claim to Delaware lands.

Smoking at the Naval Academy.

On the recommendation of Capt. Willard
H Brownson commandant OF the Naval
Academy, Secretary Moody has authorized
the discontinuance of the rule prohibiting
smoking at the academy, so fer as 1t ap-
plies to members Of the first class In the
opinion of the Secretary the members Of
this class are quite old enough to be re-
Heved of such restriction.
In taking this action. the Navy Depart
ment follows the lead of the War Depart
ment in allowing the cadets to smoke in
quarters at West Point. In his letter to
the Navy Department Captain Brownson
says that in view of the shortage Of COM
missioned officers at the academy, increas-
ed responsibilities and dignities have fallen
to the members of the first class. many OF
whom are in a measure acting as instruc-
tors to the younger midshipmen. He, there
fore, favors giving the young men of the
first class more privileges, and sees no
reason, II they care to smoke, why they
should not be allowed to do SO.
Although Captain Brownson does not say
SO in his letter. department officials say
that, in view Of the fact that the young
men smoke anyhow. it Is better to give
some sanction to the practice, which can
thus be held In check, SO as to prevent ex-
cesses.
