IN DISTRICT COURT BEFORE

STATUTE OF MARCH S, 1895
Its Validity Is Being Questioned on
Constitutional Grounds, AS to
Rights Of U. S. Bringing
Suits for ciiizens.

There is being heard In the Uuted

arising In number of cases institut-
ed by the United States on behalf
Of Indians to cancel leases made to
various persons. the principal ground
urged In support of the application
for cancellation being the inadc1uacy

five cases are involved. The suits are
instituted under the provisions OF the
Indian Appropriation bill of March },
1905. permitting investigations to be
made by the Department of the luter-

In practically all of the cases the
Indians on whose behalf these suits
were instituted have appeared. have
insisted that they are citizens Of the
United States. that the government
has no right to bring suit in the
name. that the contract is a fair one,
that they are satisfied with 1t and have
asked to have the suits dismissed. The
defendants contend:
First. That the act referred to does
not authorize the institution of a suit
in the name Of the United States.
Second. That each of the Indians,
is citizen Of the United States. cap.

behalf, and of suing and being sued,
and that the United States In no event
without their consent. has any right
to institute suit of this character.
Third. That the effort of the Unit.

Rabbi ! r. Loeb. Of me of the prin-

lipious circles by an article declaring
that Judaism positively prohibits
prohibition. as It strictly forbids as.

measure. What true religion and eth.

Jewish conception. Is TO avoid oS-

Rabbi Loeb says that Jews the
world uvcr exercise great moderation
In drinking. but that habitual drunk

seldom appear as guests Of police
stations and jails." He takes the 20
sition that the Bible encouragesthc
use Of wine and light drinks and that
tne true religion is that which per
mits man to enjoy himself In modera
tion Of this vOrld's good things. He
declares that he dctests the excessive
use Of intoxicants and that his rae
and religion disapprove Of excess r.
anything, but that tho Hebrew has q

stop enjoyment of what has been
placed before him.
Rabbi Loeb quotes many parts oI
the Bible to show that the "patriarch'

Washington. May S.-Cn the best
authority 1t Is stated that the civil
service commission has found Post.
master u. A. Robinson of Dallas gull.
" of charges of pernicious political
activity. and has recommended his
removal from office.
The order from President Roose-
welt to the postmaster general to re.
move Robinson Is expected any day
by those who know all the details of
the case.
Mr.. Robinson activity was in the
interest Of Cecil \. Lyon, and Lyons
in the interest of Roosevelts candi-
dacy for the presidency at the com.
ing national convention.
The report against Robinson has
been in the presidents hands for six
ty days. but it is understood now that
the president has almost agreed TO
have Robinson removed very shortly.
Colonel Greene who made the inves.
tigation into Robinson's record re-
fused to discuss the matter, and Com.
missioner Black denied that he was
even familiar with the case.
Eventually Commissioner Greene
admitted that the papers with the
recommendations have gone to the
president He would neither deny nor
affirm the statement made by n high
department official that the report
urges the dismissal of Postmaster
Robinson and the president is about
to issue the order removing the Dal
las man.

civil service has not yet been settled

FEAT OF WATER OWNER.
Test That Created Amusement Among
Scientists Who Wit
$780, messed It.

1t may be surprise to most people
to learn that the old-fashioned method
of finding water by means of a forked
stick has not gone out of use before
the scientific experts, engineers and
analysts. A recent exhibition Of this
was given in England by Mr.. Thomp-
son, who is farmer and breeder of
sheep on a large scale. With large
party of the experts who use more sci
entitlc methods for finding water he
entered large field holding the forked
stick in his hands. They walked up ana
down the grounds, but were soon led
to an adjoining field, where the twig
seemed to pun the operator about. After
time he was so powerfully affected that
he was obliged to release the stick and
rest, When he again took it in his
hands 1t drew him to a spot where he
said water would be found at depth
of 80 feet, and full supply at 80 or 100
feet. This was found to be a fact. to
the great amazement of the scientists.
