SALE OF INDIAN IMPROVEMENTS
Regulations for Appraising the Prop
erty of Intermarried Cherokees.

Washington, April 5.-Regulations
under which improvements valued at
more than 100000, belonging to the
intermarried whites in the Cherokee
nation, will be sold to allottees of that
nation were made public at the in
terror department today. The supreme
court held that the intermarried
whites had no rights in the division of
the land and money of the Cherokees.
Many of them had obtained possession
of allotments upon which they had
made improvements. The last con-
gress pa sed an act directing the in
terror department to have these i'm
provements appraised and sold to
Cherokees to whom the lands might be
allotted. This appraisement will be
made by Commissioner Bfxby.
The regulations direct that all lands
tentatively selected or held by any in
termarried white shall be withheld
from allotment until May 2, 1907. AS
soon thereafter as practicable all lands
which have not been designated for
appraisal of improvem ents shall be
thrown open to allotment Lands de-
signated for appraisement will be fur
Their reserved from allotment until the
appraisement is made. Commissioner
Bixby who was at the interior de-
partment today, said that the improve
ments on about 1900 allotments Will
be sold.

ON JAPANESE QUESTION
Nicholas Murray Butler Disagrees
With President Roosevelt.

New York, April 5.-President Nicho-
las Murray Butler has returned to Col
umbia university from his honeymoon
trip to the Pacific coast DR.. Butler
says that he disagrees with the atti-
tude of President Roosevelt regarding
the Japanese question. He believes that
the people of San Francisco are fully
justified in excluding the Japanese from
their schools. Speaking of the Japa-
nese question he said:
1.-The California sentiment on the
Japanese question hasn't been made
entirely clear. The whole school ques-
ton about which the recent discussion
arose turned in reality upon the admis-
sion or exclusion of adult japanese side
by side with little children in the pub
lie scho Dis learning the English Ian
guage- AS to the unwisdoln of this there
can hardly be two opinions.
1.-The feeling against japanese, which
has been voiced largely by the Japa-
nese and Corean Exclusion league, did
not have a particularly creditable origin
but has been strengthened among GER
tain classes who fear the Japanese as
competitors. The more thoughtful Cal
ifornians, however, believe that the So
called problem CT Oriental immigration
can be more satisfactorily settled on
national rather than on local lines and
thus conserve the best interests of the
United States and the dignity of the
people of China and Japan themselves.
The more violent expressions in regard
to this matter seem to me to be the
least representative"

ATTELL A SHADE THE BEST.
The English Light Weight Put Up a
Great Battle.

Philadelphia. Penn, April Spike
Robson, the English light weight. put
up a great showing in his six-round
battle with Abe Attell, the feather
weight champion, but the superior
ring tactics of the latter gave him the
better of the contest, though not by
a very great margin.
Attell was, from every point of view,
the finished ring general, and by his
work in the last round earned the de-
cision, which up to that round would
have been a draw. The fight was I'M
doubtedly the best that has been seen
in Philadelphia this winter, for both
men were mixing it up from gong to
gong at a terrific rate. Robson often
forced Atten to take the defensive, but
at the end the Britisher had to stall
to keep the active Yankee boy from
landing on him too often.

New York. April 5-According to a

REHABILrrArE LIGHT PLANT.
r.. w. Freeman Will Make Plans for
the Improvements.

r. w. Freeman. of the electrical de-
partment of Kansas university, has
been authorized to make plans, speci-
fications and estimates for the rebuild
ing of the city electric light plant to
a capacity of 500 lamps. The plant
now has a capacity of only about 342
lamps.
Freeman will superintend the work
of construction if it is decided to ac-
cept the plans and specifications pre-
pared by him. The ways and means
committee of the council decided to
give Freeman an opportunity of max
ing an estimate. On a visit and in
vestigation of the plant he fixed the
cost at $4,000, practically the same as
that prepared by H. K. Goodrich, SUI
perintendent of the city electric light
engineer at the time. W. E. Brill,
another expert secured by the city last
winter, gave an estimate of $500
covering the same amount of construc-
ton. F'reeman's bill for this work for
the city is $3.50 and expenses.
The condition of the Melan arch
bridge will be enquired into. Some
of the cement work will have to be
repaired in a number of small places.
The committee instructed the city en-
gineer to make an examination and
report.
The contemplated purchase of vot-
ing machines will be deferred until the
new ways and means committee can
be organized.
The sanitary department was in
structed to see that the alleys of the
city be kept clean of rubbish
An ordinance refunding $4,000 of
trical company was recommended for
passage.
