INDIANS MAY
SELL LAND
Important Legislation Pro
posed in Regard to White
Earth Reservation.

Washington, April 12.-If a.
provision that has been incorpor-
ated in the Indian appropriation
bill, which bill soon will be pre-
sented to the senate by Senator
Clapp, Of Minnesota, is enacted
into law, about quarter of a
million acres of land in the White
Earth reservation belonging to
the full bloods will be disposed
to people anxious to buy them.
The bill in question contains
an amendment removing all re-
strietions upon the alienation of
land belonging to the mixed
bloods on the Minnesota reserva-
ton, and leaving it discretionary
with the secretary of the interior
to remove all restrictions upon
the alienation of lands belonging
to the full, bloods. :
For a long time the people liv.
ing in the neighborhood of the
White Earth reservation have
been anxious to acquire 10 or
more townships Of fine agricul.
tural land, the property Of full
bloods, who are willing to dispose
Of them, but who cannot. do so
under the present laws on &C,
count of the restrictions as to
alienation. The. revision of the
bill permitting the full bloods as
| we'll as the mixed bloods to dis.
pose of their lands outright has
created some surprise in the in.
terror department, inasmuch as
the extension Of such a privilege
to the half. bloods is opposed.
unless it is granted within the
discretion of the secretary of the
interior.
The house com mittee on Indian
affairs is opposed to removing
the restrictions upon alienation
of. lands in the case of either full
bloods or half-bloods, except at
the discretion of the secretary of
the interior, and it recently re-
ported favorably the bill intro
duced by Representative Burke
of South Dakota, giving the Sec
rotary of the interior authority
to remove such restrictions
! under certain circumstances.
| The provisions just put in the
Indian appropriation bill was in.
serted on motion of Senator
Clapp, chairman Of the Indian
committee. If it is passed by
the senate it undou btedly will be
bitterly contested by the house in
conference.

The Capital News had pipe dream

NEW YORK, June 9.-The decree of
Judge John H. Mccarthy, of the city
court, giving Miss Nettie Whelan, of
this city, the right to change her name
to Adele Richie, Jr., goes into effect
today. Miss Whelan is niece of
Adele Richie, the we'll known actress,
who educated her and with whom she
resides. Miss Richie had promised
to Miss Whelan that she would leave
her her entire estate, which is of con-
siderable value, if she would assume
the name of Adele Richie, Jr. AS Miss
Whelan had no obligations, owed no
money and was in no other way tied
to her name, the court permitted her to
make the desired change. Miss Adele
Richie, Jr., today received numerous
congratulations from her friends.

COUNTY ATTORNEYS TO MEET
Will Consider Question Of New
Laws in Convention.
Which WILL Be HELD At EVERETT
LEGISLATURE WILL BE ASKED
TO AID IN PURIFIcATIoN
OF THE BAR.
WHICH WILL Be HELD At EVERETT

To obtain for the prosecuting attor-
neys Of the various counties of the
state more consideration in the draft
ing of criminal laws by the legislature,
an association composed Of the men
holding these positions will be formed
at Everett on July 10. The meeting
will be held at Everett on this date
because the State Bar association will
be in session at the same place at that
time.
One of the subjects that will be Civ
en- much consideration will be the
habitual criminal act, now on the stat
ute books, making life Imprisonment
the penalty for the third conviction
for felony. Except in King county the
law has been a dead letter, and steps
will be taken to make it's enforcement
more general.
1t is likely that Prosecuting Attor-
ney Macintosh, of King county, will
suggest at the meeting an amendment
to this law, to be submitted to the next
legislature for its consideration. He
believes that the taxpayers should be
saved the necessity If two trials. The
law provides that after a conviction
for felony of a person previously con-
victed of a crime amounting to a fell
ony, separate information must be
filed charging a former conviction or
convictions, and a separate trial had
on this second information.
law amended so that the prior convic-
tons can be charged in the same in
the person is under arrest and the fact
of the prior convictions and guilt of
jury at the trial. Such procedure is
followed in some of the states
The statute defining perjury will al
so be given serious attention. The
various prosecuting attorneys have
found that the efficiency of their work
is minimized by the prevalency of per-
jury. The present statute covers the
crime in Il very slipshOd manner.
Another subject that will be taken
up is the purifaction of the bar. The
association will likely ask the legisla-
ture to amend the statutes providing
for the disbarment of attorneys. The
present statutes are almost useless
1t is believed a commission empowered
by the legislature to act would rid
the profession of an undesirable ele-
ment that it is almost impossible un-
der the present laws to cast off.
Next year it is planned to have a
convention of superior court judges
for the purpose of formulating uniform
rules for court practice.
