MORE CITIZENSHIP WORK.

The passage OF the Indian appro
priation bill this week by congress
makes some radical changes in the
citizenship status in the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations.
The Importance of the Choctaw and
Chlckasaw citizenship court Is recog
nized. The sum OF $4,000 was made
Immediately available for the expense
OF the present court and three addi-
tlona clerks who will receive the sum
OF 800 per month each. The exten-
sion of the life OF the tribunal from
December 81, 1908, to one year later,
was in harmony with the amount OF
litigation carried to the court by sin
gle clause following. viz:
The supreme court OF the United
States may transfer to the Choctaw-
Chickasaw citizenship the papers in
the cases OF the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw citizenship appealed from the
United States courts in the Indian Ter.
ilAoil W Nh' bhlNNu oNhtcb hhpltult
court during the year 1898.
That all cases transferred under
section 81 OF the recently enacted
treaty to the citizenship court for the
Choctaw and Chlckasaw nations shall
be tried and determined under the pro-
visions Of section 80 Of said act and
disposed OF the same as II ap-
pealed to said court under provisions
OF section 80 OF said act.
In other words the citizenship court
will take evidence in the cases appeal
ed from the Federal courts and will
also retry some fifteen OF more cases
that went to the supreme court in
1898. The retrial of the rejected
claimants from the Federal courts and
the suits that will be transferred from
the supreme court will make a vast
amount OF work for the new tribunal
II Is conceded by attorneys that
this provoslon is fair to the claimants
themselves. They win have the mer-
its OF their cases set forth entirely by
the witnesses that can be produced.
There will be some of the claimants
who may never be able to present as
strong a case as was made before the
Federal court or Dawes commission
for witnesses have died, disappeared
or moved to remote places in the
country and the cost Of bringing them
before the court viii be heavier than
many of the claimants can bear.
The extension of time and increased
appropriation made Immediately avail
able indicates the earnestness OF the
government to bring about a speedy
finis to the citizenship question and
further attest confidence in the com
nilsson which will pass upon the mer.
its OF the numerous claims.-Capital.
