BOARD FAVORS
ANOTHER SITE
Lot Opposite Alamo Square Is
Considered Ideal Location
for Lowell High School
OFFER HAS BEEN MADE
Doubt Regarding Lafayette

i'll New Recommendation
OFFER HAS BEEN MADE

The Board of Education yesterday
held conference relative to the ad-
visibility of recommending. the selec-
ton of the north half of Western Ad-
tion block No. 979, on Hayes street be-
tween Steiner and Pierce, as an alter
native site fer the new Lowell High
school building proposed TO be built
under the bond issue.
The site named is regarded as a de-
sirable one for the purpose in view
OF the legal obstacles in the way of
the selection of the lot facing Lafay-
cite Park on Octavia street, offered b.
5. w. Holladay and others. The School
Directors had unanimously selected the
latter site as the most desirable, but
it is feared that legal plications
viii ensue owing to the fact that Oc-
taV1a street between Sacramento and
Washington is part of Lafayette Square
and its original dedication as part of
the park cannot be diverted to school
or other purposes
The site on Hayes street fulfills the
desirable conditions of the Lafayette
Park site in that it is opposite Alamo
Square and commands magnificent
view of the city, standing as it does on
an eminence.
Sage, Dealey & Company have al
ready offered to sell the lot to the city
for $175,oOO; the lot is 412k feet in
length by 1919 feet in width, the city
owning a lot in the middle of the site
80 by 1872 feet.
The proximity of Alamo Square,
which is a four-b block square and would
constitute additional playground for
the pupils, is another reason in favor
of the selection of the Hayes-st street
site. School Director Altman is en-
thusiastie in support of the site and
hopes to prevail on his collea CUES on

HEFF'S VIEW SUSTAINED.
An Indian Ceases to Be a Ward When
He Becomes an Allottee

The Supreme Court of the United States
in an opinion by Justice Brewer, granted
the petition of Albert Heff Of Kansas for a
writ of habeas corpus. Heff was prosecuted
and convicted in the district court of Kan
sas for selling beer at the town Of Horton
to a Kickapoo Indian named John Butler
to whom land had been granted in sew
crafty.
The prosecution was based upon the
theory that Butler was still ward of the
nation, the law prohibiting the sale of
liquors to Indians. The case was brought
to the Supreme Court in an original ac-
ton on the ground that in, becoming an
allottee the Indian became a citizen Of the
United States. This view was sustained
by today's opinion, which concluded as
follows
I'VE are of the opinion that when the
United States grants the privileges of citi-
zenship to an Indian, gives to him the bene-
fit of and requires him to be subject to the
laws. both civil and criminal of the state
it places him outside the reach of police
regulations on the part of Congress; that
the emancipation from federal control thus
created cannot be set aside at the
instance of the government without
the consent of the individual Indian
and the state, and that this
emancipation from federal control is not
affected by the fact that the lands It has
granted to the Indian are granted subject
to a condition against alienation and en-
cumbrance, or the further fact that 1t
guarantees to him an interest in tribal or
other property. The district court of Kan
sas did not have Jurisdiction of the offense
charged, and-therefore the petitioner is en-
titled to his discharge from Imprisonment"

WILL AWAIT DEMANDS.
Until They Come the Administration
Will Not Recall Bowen and Powell.

1t has been recently represented to the
State Department that the relations be-
tween the United States and Venezuela and
between the United States and Haiti would
undoubtedly be improved by a change in
the diplomatic representatives of the
United States at the capitals of the other
republics. Mr.. Bowen, the minister to
venezuela, has been criticised for his con-
duct of the negotiations regarding the as
two countries, and is declared to be per-
soma non grata to President Castro.
Mr.. Powell, the United States minister
to Haiti, is said to have incurred the i'll will
of the authorities of Haiti by alleged mis-
representations of the political conditions
in that republic.
1t has been represented to the State De-
partment by Mr.. Leger the Haitian minis
ter to the United States that the publica-
ton of recent reports from Minister Pow
ell of alleged impending revolutions has
seriously injured the financial credit of
that country and made it difficult to float
a projected loan on favorable terms
Although no formal demand has been
made for the recall of either Mr.. Bowen
or Mr.. Powell. it is said that such action
would be most acceptable to the VeneZue-
Ian and Haitian governments. So far as
can be ascertained the State Department is
entirely satisfied with the administrations
of both Mr. Bowen and Mr.. Powell and
will make no change in either of those le-
cations unless it is officially demanded by
the government to which each is accred-
tied. In that case the demand would be
respected in accordance with international
usage.

SUIT OVER A BIG FEE.
Supreme Court Decision in a Question
Growing Out of J. B. Cotton's Claim.

The Supreme Court of the United States
today decided against the commonwealth
Of Massachusetts, in the case Of that state
petitioner, asking that the court remove
the unlawful restraint" upon the conduct
of the Secretary of the Treasury effected by
the action of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia relating to the pay
ment of fee to Mr.. John B. Cotton, the
attorney of this city.
This case involves the effort of Mr.. Cot
ton to collect a fee from the commonwealth
of Massachusetts. Congress. April q, 1904.
appropriated $1,611, 40 to the commonwealth
Of Massachusetts on account of that states
expenses in defense of the Union in the
civil war. Secretary Shaw drew a warrant
for that sum, payable to the governor of
Massachusetts or order and delivered it to
Mr.. Cotton, who claimed to be entitled to
receive from Massachusetts 10 per cent of
that amount, under a contract with the
state whereby he was made its agent and
attorney to endeavor to recover before the
Court of Claims, the Supreme Court of the
United States and the Treasury Depart
ment the claim of the state upon which
that appropriation was based.
Mr.. Cotton refused to turn over the war
rent to the governor of Massachusetts, IN
til his claim was paid. The governor de-
manded a duplicate warrant, but the Sec
rotary of the Treasury refused to issue
enc, but upon the governors suggestion he
secure the opinion of the Attorney General
which was to the effect that his delivery of
the warrant to Mr.. Cotton was unauthor-
lied by law, and that he might issue
duplicate warrant to the governor
Before the secretary could issue a new
warrant Mr.. Cotton filed in the District Su-
premc Court a bill in equity in which the
Secretary and governor were named as de-
PENDANTS, against the issuing of a second
warrant to the governor. The equity suit
is still pending, the court having issued a
rule commanding the defendants to show
cause why they should not be enjoined
To remove the unlawful restraint upon
the Secretary's conduct effected by the ac-
ton of the District Supreme Court a pc
ttion was brought to the Supreme Court
of the United States which. in decision
by the chief justice today, declined to act
upon the petition.

Plead Guilty to Perjury.

day, in Criminal Court No. 1, pleaded
guilty Ferguson was a witness in the case
of Weismuier, Hardy and Tobin, convicted
several weeks ago of robbery. AS n result
of the developments in court in connection
with the trial, Ferguson was taken into
custody and, as stated, charge of per-
Jury was entered against him. In pleading
guilty today he admitted that his testimony
at the weismuller- H ardy-Tobn trial was
a fabrication, and made such disclosures
as prompted the court to remark that the
matter will be further investigated. This
created a mild sensa ton, for, 1T was stated,

he had previously given, to await the fur

LARGE sum INVOLVED
South Carolina Resists Fedora
Liquor Tax.
BLOW AT DISPENSARIES
CLAIMED THAT THE RIGHTS OF
THE STATE ARE INVADED.
Appeal From the Court of Claims Being
Argued in the United States
Supreme Court.

Arguments were begun in the Supreme
Court this afternoon on a case of far
reaching interest. RalstOn & Siddons are
arguing the case for South Carolina, while
the solicitor general is representing the
government. South Carolina sued the
United States for $4,000. which the fed
eral government, through its internal rev.
eEue bureau, insisted upon making the
state officers pay for wholesale and retail
liquor licenses under the operation of the
dispensary system by which South Caro-
lima controls the liquor traffic within its
borders. The suit was first brought in the
Court of Claims, the state contending that
these officers were exercising police pow
ers, and that when the federal government
compelled them to pay license fees 1t was
taxing state instrumentalities.
Court Of Claims Decision.
The Court of Claims decided unanimously
against this contention. holding that state
could not withdraw various subjects from
the scope of federal taxation under this
pretext. Had the South Carolina conten-
ton been sustained on it's broad ground the
entire internal revenue system would SEEM
ingly go to pieces. The court held that the
police power of a state must be exercised
in subOrdination to the superior rights of
the federal government.
But there is another question which has
been argued in the appeal before the Su-
preme Court To-Day, upon which South Car
DINA may win its 100000, and Congress be
compelled to enact new legislation to pre-
vent other states from initiating the South
Carolina example.
Another Chance for the State.
Congress in certain amendatory legisla-
ton some years ago defined the classes of
persons who were the subjects of these
licenses. 1t said persons included CO.
partnerships, associations and corpora
lions. The federal government is thus
compelled to argue that state is "cor-
poration' within the meaning Of this stat
ute
Many persons express the opinion that
the Supreme Court will not sustain this
definition. Congress could easily remedy
this difficulty, however, but not until South
Carolina had received it's back payments.
There is no expectation In treasury circles
that the Supreme Court will overrule the
Court of Claims on the broader question,
since the possible exercise of police powers
are so varied that little would be left upon
which the government could rely for rev.
eEue.
South Cardinals profits from the liquor
business, disclosed from the last report,
$5O0,COO year in small and Impoverished
state, suggest that its dispensary system
may yet find imitators elsewhere In spite
of the ridicule to which it has been SUBJ
jected.
