PETITION DENIED.
Courts Ruling in Case of Willis West
Against Interior Department.

o6o1hSI AAtCIlOT department.
The written opinion of Justice Barnard
of the Supreme Court of the District OF
Columbia, in the case Of Willis c. Yves,
against the Secretary of the Interior, has
been filed. The ruling Of Justice Barnard
denies the petition of West for writ OF
mandamus to compel the Secretary to ap-
prove the application of the petitioner for
an allotment of 100 acres of land in Okla.
homa territory. West claimed right to the
land as the husband of an Indian woman
The court was informed by the petitioner
that he was a white citizen of the United
States. residing on the Wichita reserva-
ton in Oklahoma territory; that prior to
1891 he married a Wichita woman, and
thereby became a member of the tribe
that by virtue of agreement made between
the Indians and the United States which
was ratified by acts of Congress, he be-
came entitled to an allotment of land with
In the Wichita reservation as an adopted
member Of the tribe. Under the act OF
Congress it was necessary for the Secre-
tary Of the Interior to approve all allot-
ments. The petitioner alleged that he had
duly and properly selected a piece of land
and that the Secretary arbitrarily refused
to approve his selection. The court was
asked to compel the Secretary to give the
necessary approval.
Justice Barnard last August sustained a
demurrer the Secretary made to the petit
ton. but the Court of Appeals reversed
that ruling. The Secretary then filed an
swer, setting forth, In substance, that he
had, July 3, 1901. adjudged that West was
not an adopted member of the Wichita
tribe of Indians, and, therefore, not en-
titled to an allotment of land.
By the opinion that has just been filed
Justice Barnard holds that the court was
without authority to review the decision
the act was within the executive cogni-
zance Of the Secretary.

LEESBURG, Va, August 13.-On We'd
nesday evening about 100 persons were sud-
denly taken seriously i'll while attending
the public sale of the stock and fixtures
of the Ashburn Dairy Farm in this county,
owned by Senator VIM M. Stewart of Ne
vada. The cause is supposed to have been
ptomaine poison due to beef and ham
sandwiches served as free lunches
About 800 people were present and all
who ate of the lunches were more or less
affected Lunch was served late in the
afternoon and it was not until several
hours afterward that the first symptoms of
poisoning appeared. These were nausea
and weakness. vomiting of blood and pain,
followed by utter collapse.
Physicians from Washington, Leesburg
Sterling, Ashburn, Herndon, Aldie Arcola
and other surrounding towns We're hastily
summoned Every available place in the
mouse, barn and outbuildings was provided
for the suffering. The latest reports this
morning state that about twenty-five people
were so Ill that they could not be removed
from the place last night, but are now
slowly recovering.
The worst feature was the fact that
great many of the people who attended the
sale were taken ill on the roadside after
leaving the farm. These were in many
cases found by friends and taken to near
W ioi III houSCS anu PHYSICIANS hastily
summoned
The following were the most seriously Ill
and for several hours their recovery was
doubtful: James and w. A. Wrenn of Ster-
ling, John F. Ryan, Arcola; ]. F. Guick,
Aide; John Hutchinson of Ashburn, Robt
Herndon, Leesburg taken while returning
home; Fred. Saunders, Leesburg; Sun
Houser, Ashburn. Mr.. Green, VIM. H.

could not be ascertained. Robert Herndon
was taken i'll on the road to Leesburg and
carried to Mr.. w. H. Clemens home Mr.
Poole of GAINESVILLE was i'll at the Lees
burg Inn. Chas. Hawking returned home
and was taken ill at Littlejohn & Houri-
name store, in Leesburg. VIM. H. John
son. Samuel Grimes, Tom Lynn of Lees
burg. and Henry Smith of Lenah were
taken sick after returning home.
Nearly all the patients who remained at
the farm last night are walking around this
morning and some have been taken to their
homes. One physician considered that the
symptoms were those of Strychnine poison
The vomit and meats have been sent to a
chemist for analysis. The sale was re-
sumed at 10 o'clock this morning and a
large crowd is In attendance.

BUSINESS MEN OPPOSED.
Protest Against Erecting Hospital on
Old Observatory Grounds.

Although there was not sufficient at
tendance to warrant definite action, those
present at the meeting of the Business
Mems Association in the Bond building
yesterday afternoon expressed themselves
as unalterably opposed to the proposed
erection of a naval hospital on the former
site Of the naval observatory in place of
national university, as originally intend
ed by President Washington.
The meeting was called to order by Mr.
GUIDE, president of the association, and
after brief explanatory remarks by Capt.
j. P. Walker, former Gov Hoyt of Wyo-
ming, chairman of the national university
commission, addressed the membership at
some length in opposition to the hospital
project. Several members of the associa-
ton also made brief addresses and 1t was
decided to place the matter in the hands
of the executive committee, with the in
structions that further data be obtained
and a report thereon be submitted to the
association at an early date.
President Guide stated to a reporter of
The Star that in the opinion of the asso-
citation, the ground referred to- which
formed a part of the estate of President
George Washington and which he intended
for national university purposes, should
be reserved, and that the wishes of the
father of his country should be carried
out. Mr.. GUIDE said he, with the other
members of the association, deplored the
action of Congress which provided for the
erection of naval hospital on the ground,
and expressed the opinion that such a hos
pital, located in close proximity to a we'll
settled residential section of the city, would
be a menace to public health, in that all
diseases. including malignant and con-
tagious fever cases. would be brought here
from all parts of the world for treatment.
Mr.. GUIDE also declared that to place a
hospital on the ground could not fail to
be detriment to Washington, in that 1t
would tend to depreciate the value of real
estate and greatly interfere with the park
scheme as laid out by the parking COM
mission. Concluding. Mr.. GUIDE said the
hospital project is one that should COM
mand the attention Of every public-spirited
man, woman and child in the District, and
that all should exert themselves to prevent
the erection of such an institution on the
site and work for the appropriate of
funds for the establishment of national
university.
