CITIZENSHIP IN INDIAN TRIBES.
Secretary Hitchcock Seeking an Early Decl-
sion by the Supreme Court.

Washington, April 1s-The Secretary Of the IN
terror has written letter to the Attorney GeneraI
joining in the request for early action by the
United States Supreme Court in connection with the
case of L S Joins, who seeks to secure citizen
ship IN the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian tribes.
He bases his plea the difficulty Of continuing the
work Of making up the rolls preliminary to the
allotment in severaty of lands to the Chocta"s ana
Chickasaws. He says:
The proceeding in question affects the claims
of so large number of people that II would seem
inadvsabe, II not unjust. to proceed with WoT <
which would be rendered futile by decision OF
the Supreme Court upholding the contentious OF
the petitioner If this position be correct. then
much of the work of this department must be laid
aside until final determination Of the c?ntro-
versy This will necessarily involve the matter IN
rluch confusion and uncertainty as wei as impose
uron the government large additional expense me
Importance of this proceeding to the government
and the public generally; as well as to the parties
directly Interested, would seem 10 demand speedy
determination thereof to the end that unnecessary
delay in the completion OF the rolls of citizenship
and division of the lands of these people may be
avoided

lhe Seaboard Air Line Railway, of Ports
 mouth, Va, is advertising a beautiful, but | comparatively little known, region on the West Coast of Florida in three booklets
 called "The Land of NIanatee." They are issued by the Seaboard, but can scarcely be termed d railroad advertisement, as the only mention of the road Is in brief and modest note printed on the inside of one of the cover pages. They are, in fact, a description of Manatee County, Florida, with some account of it's history and its many interesting features which will ap- peal equally to the general reader, the in- vestor, the fruit and vegetable grower, and to the tourist and sportsmaF. The author is AIr. Morton M Cassaday, writer of experience. The beauty of the Manatee country Is well described, and the marvel ous fertility of the soil and equally won derful healthfulness of the climate are told of in way to leave no doubt in the read CTS mind. Manatee county must be the der IS that 1t has not sooner been settled and the latent riches of it's soil turnedinto good American dollars. A most charming feature of these booklets is their typo- graphical appearance. They are printed on hand made paper, and are delightfully."- illustrated with photographic half-tone plates and ornamented with decorative de- signs Tn flat monotones that make them really valuable brochures Persons in- terested in Florida, and especially in the possibilities of orange growing and truck gardening below the frost line, will find these booklets not only interesting, but full ot valuable and practical information They may be had from representatives of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, or upon application to the General Passenger Agent, Portsmouth, Va.
