Some of Most Perplening Problems Are to Be

rights of thirty thousand Indians In
question the supreme court Of the
United States will begin consideration
probably the first week Of the com,
ing term Of some OF the most perplex
Ing problems arising out OF the rela.
tion Of the United States to its wards
Among those are questions Of citizen
ship and of authority over lands of the
individual Indians.
In 1902 congress passed an act for
the allotment to the individual Indians
of the Cherokee tribal land in Okla
homa One restriction was laid upon
the land; lands allotted to citizens

lottee of his heirs. before the expira.
tion Of five years from The date Of the
ratification OF this act
In 1904 congress authorized the sec.
retary Of the interior to grant a right
of way for oil and gas pipe lines
through the lands thus allotted 10 the
Indians In 1906 the 5-year restric-
tion imposed In 1902 was extended to
twenty-five years. The constitution
ality Of the acts of 1904 and 1905 was
raised, and congress authorized two
Indians William Brown and Levi B
Gritts, TO bring suit to test the laws
The court of claims held the law to
be constitutional An appeal was
taken to the supreme court. On ac.
count Of the Importance of the case
the court set Il for argument on the
opening day OF the October term or as
soon thereafter as possible.
Judge Howry for the minority OF
the court OF claims held that the IN
dians had been made citizens of the
United States prior to the allotment
when the land was granted" lie
said, The character Of the title al
lotted to the fullbloods was the sam,
as If allotted to other citizens TIE
title Of the one became as unqualified
as the title of the other and any at
tempt to dlfferentiate between the fee
so held can be sustained only upon
the ground that the Indian can neve,
acquire such right 10 land as the
government Is bound to respect
He held that the Indian could ae
quire rights the government must re
spect and pronounced the right oi
way act and the 25-year alienation acts
unconstitutional
The majority opinion Of the couri
by Chief Justice peele held tile laws
constitutional The reversal Of the de
cision Of the court Of claims would
ALLOW the Indians to sell their lands
worth millions OF dollars at this time
as the five years since expired. While
the Cherokee lands are Immediately
concerned it is generally understood
the decision will affect the lands Of
the other four tribes which held land
IN the old Indian Territory.

The question of the adoption of "a
houses in Laurium will be introduced
at the next regular meeting of the
council. At present, ii is said, there
are IA large number of residences
throughout the town which are not
properly marked with signs. This sit
uation would undoubtedly prove IA big
obstacle TO the securing of IA free mail
delivery system throughout the village
The council win probably make some
arrangement 10 bring about an inn

Gently started for free delivery sys-
TEN. 1t is thought that within IA few
days u petition will be prepared and
submitted To the proper authorities
asking that a free delivery be estab-
lished With the proper numbering OF
all houses, it is not believed there
could be any objection. as Laurium
has good sidewalks. and the receipts
of the office are sufficient to warrant
free delivery. Postmaster Vincent
Vairo is understood to be in favor of
such n move.
1t is thought that the census recent
ly taken will show the population of
I.aurium to be more than 5000. AL
most all of these people receive their
mail through the Laurium postofiice
and big Improvement in the service
would undoubtedly result from the de-
sired change.

OATES BELIEVES OSBORN
WILL CARRY L. MICHIGAN

w. X. Oates of Calumet, chairman of
the Upper Peninsula Osborn CLUB,
leaves early next week for the tenth
congressional district of Michigan
where ne expects To devote consider
able time TO the interests of the Os-
born campaign. Mr.. Oates Will prob
ably remain in Lower Michigan Tor
two weeks or more and, during this
time n large number of meetings VIII
be conducted. .,f...
Speaking of the progress of the os-
born campaign in that section of Low
er Michigan in which he has recently
been working, Mr.. oates was very en-
thusiastic Manifestations of friend
ship and support have been received
from sources which were almost en-"
tirely unexpected and the Osborn SEN
timent Is continually growing. Ac-
cording to MIR. Oates. the recent ac-
ton of Pat Kelly in cutting away from
the Warner regime and asking to be
Judged on his merits alone, is an ad-
mission of weakness, inasmuch as MIR.
Kelly has vigorously defended the
Warner administration throughout the
whole campaign previous TO this time.
As Mr. Osborn has taken the opposite
view, all through the campaign, the
view that Mr.. Kelly is now taking, Mr..
Oates believes the Upper Peninsula
man will benefit from the latest de-
velopments.
Mr. oates Is so we'll pleased with the
sentiment i'm the district he has just
visited that he predicts a victory for
the 500 man at the primary election
below the straits. The Upper PENN
sua Is already conceded by all can
didates to Osborn by big majority.

LAME GIRL PRAYS AT WELL
KNOWN SHRINE; NOW WALKS

The cure OF Miss Frances Little, OF
Boston, who for six years walked with
crutches. Is attributed TO visit TO the
shrine of Ste. Anne de Baupre at
Quebec, says "A Boston dispatch. Miss
Little, who was cured after praying
at the shrine four days, surprised her
parents yesterday by walking into the
house unaided. She had left her
crutches at the shrine.
For six years a diseased bone I'm the
ankle and foot OF one OF her limbs had
made Miss Little a cripple. Though
the malady conferred i'm the lower part
of the extremity, the whole member
felt numb and paralyzed.
Two eminent specialists had treated
her. One had performed an operation
and contemplated another. Such was
the girls condition when she left With
her sister Marie, for the shrine.
Arriving there safely, the two sis
ters for three days, from the break Of
day until evening dusk, stayed and
prayed at the shrine, leaving only tc
get their meals.
A part of the devotional exercises
was the ascent of the Sacred Stairs
consisting of 2S steps. The pilgrims
ascend these stairs upon their knees.
Though the ascent was arduous, Fran
ces, supported by her sister. performed
this part of the devotional exercises
with regularity every day.
The third night the crippled girl did
not close her eyes To sleep. All night
she prayed. Somehow. she had pre-
sentiment that she was TO be cured the
next day.
The following day she went to the
shrine, as usual, with her sister At 8
o'clock that afternoon, wrapped i'm
pious meditation, she suddenly felt a
strange sensation i'm the region of the
spine. A thrill passed through her
body and the diseased limb.
Frances beckoned To her sister and
remarked to her that she felt "A warm
glow passing through her ankle At
the next moment she stood erect and
firm upon both feet.
The sister moved to hand her the
crutches, but the former cripple re-
piled to her: II will never have occa-
sion to use them again; l am cured"
