recites that the many deplorable and often
fataI accidents occurring throughout the
country, and especially the terrible unex-
pected event which occurred in the eIeva-
tot or the Senate wing of the Capitol of
the nation, shows deplorable state of af-
fairs existing in regard to the safety Of
human life.
1t Is therefore enacted that Elliott
woods superintendent of the Capitol be-
and he Is hereby, authorized and directed
to investigate the merits of an automatic
device for opening, closing, locking and I'M
locking elevator doors, patented Nav o.
1909 by Hugh Watson of the state of
Louisiana, but now of Washington, District
OF Columbia, and numbered 100 1874, with a
view or placing said apparatus in opera
ton on all elevators located in the CapitoI
building.
That If said device proves TO be salts

the door when the car arrives at a floor

moor, thus making loss of life on account
or open elevator doors impossible that
there be, and that there is hereby, appro-
prlated out Of any money in the treasury

PLEA FOR THE INDIAN.
Urged That Red Man Be Given Full
Citizenship.

At recent meeting of the Washington
auxiliary of the National Indian Associa-
tion. at the residence OF Mr.. Earl Smith,
Robert Owen, descendant of the Chero-
KEGS, and who as attorney, recently won
their suit against the government, made
an address touching upon important ques-
lions ir the Indian Territory Mr.. Owen
declared that the Cherokees are not only
citizens of the United States but a self
reliant capable and attiuent people Such
is the guardianship of the government over
them that they cannot ALLEVIATE their aIlot-
ments without permission of the United
States authorities. They can dispose OF
their equities by making contracts but they
cannot legally make actual transfers.
Mr.. owen made earnest plea for the
admission of the Indian to fun citizenship,
on the ground that It is only by this act of
justice that he can secure possession of his
individual lands and funds and a fair oppor
tunity IN life.

ONLY ONE THERE.
Discovery of Coin in Excavation
Cause of Excitement.

In digging up the ground in the parkiny
In front of 61s nth street southwest a day
or two ago. to prepare the ground for the
planting of flowers, coin was unearthed
which. after being cleansed, was found to
be half dollar in excellent state of pre-
seryation. AS soon as 1t was known that
the coin had been found there was gem
eral digging all over the ground In the hope
that more money might be found, but the
diggers got nothing for their trouble but
the exercise The old coin bears the date Of
1885 Unlike the half dollar OF today, the
figure on the coin is that of Liberty
crowned with hat bearing the word Lfber-
~. and instead OF the milling around the
outer edge of the coin the words fifty cents
appears.
AS the coin was found buried over a foot
down in the ground, 1t must have been
there for many years. 1t Is now in the pos
session OF Capt. Bill Tucker, the keeper OF
the local fish and oyster wharf.
