At the elbows to form sagging puffs
The cuffs and stock are of the can

1t seems extremely hard to get
away from elaborate details this year.
# the gown is simple, there must be
some little accessory sufficiently dec
orative to break its severity. de-
itghtful little accompaniment for i
thin gown is one of the fluffy peler-
mes. Black taffeta forms the founda-
ton for an effective design. 1t has a
cape which falls to the elbows, and
long stole ends. Cluny lace borders
the taffeta and forms a round collar,
from which descends at Intervals

PUYALLYP INDIANS
ARE CITIZENS
According to a Ruling of the Interior
Department Supported
by Hanford.

Washington, D. C.-The interior
department, in the light Of recent
decision by Judge Hanford. in the
case of the United States VS.. Kopp,
recognizes those Puyallup Indians
who allotted lands in their own names
as citizens of the United States, hav
ing all rights, privileges and immuni
ties Of other citizens, and such In
dlanS are held to be no longer under
the guardianship of the United States
nor under the charge or control Of
any Indian superintendent or agent.
A letter was recently addressed to
Senator Foster, by the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, setting forth the at
titude of the department toward the
Puyallup Indians. The case arose on
a petition of five citizens of Tacoma
requesting the privilege CT establish
ing a public highway across portions
of the Puyallup reservation, the auth
ority of the secretary of the interior
being sought.
In view of Judge Hanford's decision
the secretary holds that the depart
ment no longer has authority over the
On the contrary, the Puyallup allotees
have power to lease, cucumber, grant
and ALLEVIATE their lands in like man
ner and like effect as any other per
son may do under the laws of the
state of Washington.
All department restrictions upon
the lease or sale of Puyallup allotted
lands have been removed, and in case.
the citizens of Tacoma, signers OF the
petition, still desire to establish pub
lie highways across the Puyallup res
ervatiOn, they are now privileged to
do so under the state laws, negOJia
ting with the Indians direct.
Tacoma Decision Clears Away Doubt.
Judge Hanford's decision, as re
ferred to in the foregoing dispatch,
was that a Puyallup Indian was a citf-
zen of the United States Christopher
koOp vas charged with selling liquor
to Walter Davis, an Indian. The de
Tense cOntended that the Indian was
no longer word Of the government,
and that Koop had a perfect right to
sell him liquor the same as any other
American citizen. Judge Hanford
took the same view of the question.
Local parties, when shown the dis
patch, thought that the decision of
the secretary of the interior in sup
porting the stand taken by Judge Han
ford ought to be taken as final by
those still doubtful regarding the title
of tide land. 1t is thought this ought
to remove the last shadow from the
property. While a majority of the
| local people had recognized the right
to establish public highways and i'm
prove the tide fiat, a minority recOg
nized no such right, Or at least were
afraid of possible complications, SO
that a cloud was cast upon some of
the land, through which improvements
were retarded. 1t is believed the de
cision will clear away the last remain
ing doubt that may exist in the minds
of the minority class.
