recognized I'm the bestowal upon him
Of important commissions and by the
award of medals and other tokens of
honor. Among those conversant with
matters OF art Mr. Elwell has long been
known as an independent thinker who
cannot brook the imposition of authority
that might In any way fetter the spon-
taneous development of the various
branches of art in this country. 1t Is
supposed 10y his friends that his fight
ing spirit was aroused by real or fan
cied dictation of the multimiIlionaire
and art connoisseur In the affairs of
the museum. and thus an acrimonious
discussion arose IN connection with the
placing OF statue of ancient origin
which recently arrived from Europe.
This led TO request for Mr.. Elwell's
resignation. and the curator replied
that he would not tender IL until the
request was preferred through the prop
or channels. The acting director OF the
museum. aware that Mr.. Morgan's
blood was up in the matter, decided to
cut red tape. with the result that some
slight force was used in the ejectment
OF Mr. Elwell from the temple of art.

DISREGARD|NC
RESTRICTIONS
MUSKOGEE DEALERS BUYING CHER
OKEE LANDS ON THEORY THAT
INDIAN is NO LONGER.
A WARD OF THE GOVERNMENT
Held that Recent Decision Of Supreme
Court Removes Restrictions

The Muskogee Phoeniex says
1t is stated upon good authority
that some of the local reail estate
dealers are buying Cherokee lands
regardless of the restrictions,
basing the legality Of their action
upon a recent decision of the Uni
ted States supreme court which
holds that, when an Indian has
been given title to his allotment,
he is no longer ward of the gov
ernment.
This decision, it is held, will pre-
vent complications in the sale Of
lands bv Indians where the title
has been regularly signed by the
governor OK the nation and the
secretary OF the interior. The
point is made that this entire coun-
try at one time belonged to the In
dian nations, which has been divi-
ded into allotments. Deeds to the
property became legal when signed
by the secretary of the interior and
and the chiefs of THE several ma
tions.
The decision of the United Sta
tes supreme court under which the
real estate men are making these
purchases was in the case Of a sal
oon keeper in Kansas who sold
whisky to an Indian who had Civ
en- deed TO his allotment. The
saloon man was convicted in the
United States circuit court, but
carried the case to the supreme
court, which reversed the findings
OF the lower tribunal, holding that
an Indian. when he has been given
a deed, in regular farm, to his al
lotrnent, is not word, but acitizen
Of the United States, and that a
man could not he punished for

tion of a resolution instructing

The board Of health is also

on their street taxes for work
done. The petition was tabled.
A communication from the
Mayor was read, recommending
that an expert accountant be

statement. A resolution was
passed in accordance with the
recommendation.
