INDIANS BEFORE
 SUPREME COURT Rights of 3O,OOO to be Taken up as Soon as Term Opens

Washington, Aug. 15-with the rights of some thirty thousand In- dians in question, the Supreme court of the United States will begin con sideration probably during the first week of the approaching term of some of the most perplexing prob lems, arising out of the relation of the United States to it's wards. Among these are questions of citizenship and Of authority over the lands of the Individual Indians.
 In 1902 Congress passed an act for the allotment to the individual In- dians, of the Cherokee tribal land ip Oklahoma. One restriction was laid on the land; Hands allotted to citi- zens shall not in any manner what ever or at any time be encountered, taken or sold to secure or satisfy any debt or obligation. or be alienated by the allottee or his heirs, before the expiration of five years from the date of the ratification of this act"
 In 1904, Congress authorized the right of way for oil and gas pipe lines through the lands thus allotted to the Indians. Tn 1906. the five years re- striction imposed in 1902, was ex- tended to 25 years. The constitu- tionality of the acts of 1904 and of 1906 was raised, and Congress au- thorized two Indians. Wm. Brown and Levy B. Grits, to bring suit to test the laws. The court of claims held the laws to be constitutional. An appeal was taken t o the Supreme court. On account of the importance of the case the court set it for argu- ndent on the opening day Of the com ing October term, or as soon there after as is possible.
