The Question of Costs.

After the adjournment of the new
Police Court yesterday the question OF
imposing costs in trials was brought up
by Lieut.. Simth. Justice Cation stated
that he would have to give the matter
consideration before announcing as to
whether costs would be imposed. Un-
der the former regime, during the sue
c~essiye administrations of Mayor Simp-
son. defendants were never charged any
thing excepting the amount OF the lines,
but some time before that it had been
the custom to assess costs, a part OF
which went to the policeman making
the arrest. The following from an act
approved May 20, 1908, amending
chapter A of the State code of 1887,
as containedin section 1077a, second and
third paragraphs, seems to have a direct
bearing on this subject:
"Such policeman shall have no power
or authority in civil matters, but he
shall in all other cases execute such
warrant or as may be placed
in his hands by any justice Of the peace
for said city or town, and shall make
due return thereof.
"Such policeman shall not receive
any fee or other compensation u oil
the treasury Of the Commonwealth or
The city or town for any service rendered
under the provisions of this act other
than the salary paid him by the city or
town; nor shall he receive a fee as a
witness in any case arising under the
criminal laws of the said Common
or under the ordinances or re-
gulations of the said city or town. II,
however, it shall become necessary or
expedient for him to travel beyond the
limits of said city or town in his capacity
as a policeman or as a witness, he shall
be entitled to his actual expenses, to be
allowed and paid as is now provided by,
law for other expensesin criminal cases"

INDIANS Want CASH.
SELL THEIR LAND TO SETTLERS
White Earth A|Iotmshts Will Soon All
Belong to White Men.

George D. Hamilton, editor of
the Detroit Record, who was at
the capitol yesterday, predicted
that before many years the entire
White Earth Indian reservation,
comprising more than 100000
acres of rich agricultural lands.
will be opened for settlement.
Mr.. White says that us soon as
an Indian dies the eighty acre
tract held by him is offered for
sale at auction for the benefit OF
his heirs. Auction sales are held
every Monday and thousands of
acres have already gone into the
hands of white people.
''There is a movement on foot
at Washington to allow each In
dian to select IN additional eighty
acre tract with the privilege of
selling it. The Indians claim that
under treaty some time ago they
were to have 100 acres of land
each, but the government later
gave them only eighty acres each.
If the United States gives to each
Indian An additional eighty acres,
this will practically be the same
as putting so much land on the
market, for the Indians all want
to sell their property. Pioneer

OPPOSED BY SENA-
TOR CLAPP.

In regard to the proposition to
allow such members of Indian
tribes as are capable of admins
tering their own affairs to have
their allotments of land without
restrictions, William +. Campbell,
of this reservation. who is now in
Washington, states, in a COM
munication to the TOMAHAWK,
that he has made an application to
the Indian office to recommed an
item in the Indian appropria-
tion bill to raise the restrictions
which applies to his allotment, in
order that lie may have exclusive
control of it, but the Office has re-
fused to take the initiative, al
though it intimated that if MIR.
Campbell would get such an item
inserted in the bill or would get
personal bill introduced, it would
recommend it. Senator Clapp.
whom Mr.. Campbell approached
regarding the matter, informed
the latter he would not vote for
such a measure.
Senator Clapp's position in this
matter will ALLEVIATE many of his
friends in this portion of the state,
for it is not only the members of
this reservation who want to have
the restrictions raised entirely
from their allotments but also the
business communities and farmers
surrounding all the Chippewa res
ervations.
