Farmers May Make Alcohol.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The depart.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-The United

mander Robert E. Peary Of the United

nearer to the pole than the duke of

the arctic record--s6 degrees 81
minutes. What Commander Peary
did and his experiences during the
past year in the frozen north are
rather briefly but certainly vividly
summarized in q commune alton re.
ceived tonight by Herbert l.. Bridge.
man, secretary of the Peary Arctic
club.
After furnishing to the Associated
Press the contents OF Commander
Peary's report. Mr.. Bridgemau said
that the receipt of any news from the
explorer now was quite surprise to
him because he had supposed it had
become too late in the season for
Comm ander Peary to send news of his
venture. Mr.. Bridgeman added tn at
the message spoke for itself, and since
he did know not more OF the results
of Comm ander Peary's effort to reach
the pole than the public did, he could
hardly comment upon the result.
There Is little doubt, however, he said,
that Commander Peary was coming
home. This seems to be borne out by
the routing of his dispatch.

Cannot Share Indian Lands.

WASHINGTON, Nov. s. The su.
preme court of the United States to.
day affirmed the decision of the court
OF claims in the case of Daniel Red.
bird of the Cherokee nation, and
Others vs.. the United States, known
as the "White Mans Case" The
case involved the long pending claims
OF between 1000 and 5000 white per.
sons to participate in the distribution
OF the land and funds of the Cherokee
Indians because of the marriage Of
white men to members of the tribe.
The decision was favorable to the In.
dians.
The Indians streuuously resisted the
claim. contending that they had never
by law recognized right OF property
on account OF inter.marriage. In pass.
ing on the case decided today the
court of claims held that the tribal
lands are not communal lands, but
that whites who acquired citizenship
by marriage prior to 1875 have equal
interests as Indians.
AS in the cases of marriages into
the tribe since that time. it was held
that no right of property has been &C.
quired except by those who had paid
into the common fund the sum OF $50.
The court Of claims also held that
white husbands of Cherokee women
who have abandoned their wives have
forfeited all rights as Cherokee citi.
zens, including that of participating
in the sales of Cherokee lands.
