ATTORNEYS GET SLICE OF
EASTERN CHEROKEE MONEY

Tahlequah, OKLA, June 24-The
Eastern Cherokees paid out of the
five million dollar judgment nearly a
million dollars in attorneys fees. Sem
ator Robert l.. Owen, at that time a
private citizen, and John Vale, under
their contract with the Cherokees,
which was approved by the court of
claims, received as their fee $4,000.
Senator Owen received the greater
part of this. It was he who started
the original suit and Vale represent
ed him. But they did not get to keep
all the money They employed many
other attorneys to assist in the work,
and all Of these got their share, as is
usually the case when a big fee like
that is in sight at Washington Among
the attorneys who were employed by
Owen to assist were former Senator
J. X. Jones of Arkansas. M. c. Butler
of North Carolina, w. H. Robson and
r. v. Belt, both of Washington, Scar
Iritt & Cox of Kansas City, Dudley &
Mitchner of Washington and Belva
Lockwood.
In addition to these, Thomas Buff
fington, then chief of the Cherokee
nation employed Edgar Smith of Mus
kogee, Charles Nagle and associates
of ST. Louis, and Frederick Mckinney
to represent the Cherokee nation in
connection with the case, and they re-
ceived fee of $4,000, which was
paid out of the Eastern Cherokee fund,
but not out of the Owen fee.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS BILL MAY
NOT GET TO CONFERENCE

Washington, D. c., June "a. The
public buildings bill, carrying appro.
priations of over a million and half
dollars for federal buildings and sites
in various Oklahoma cities passed the
senate yesterday and will probably be
agreed to by the house without the
necessity Of a conference. A provi.
sion is made for the transfer Of the
federal Jail at Muskogee to the city in
the bin, and also the transfer of other
jails in eastern Oklahoma to counties
in which they were located
Too much praise cannot be given
United States Marshal Victor for max
ing this amendment possible. The
omnibus Indian bill also passed the
senate and the prospects for the sale
OF the segregated surface of eastern
Oklahoma coal lands are considered
much brighter.

ONLY INDIAN BY BLOOD
PERMITTED TO DRAW MONEY

Tahlequah, Okla. June 24.-One Of
the first legal questions raised over
the payment was by Muskogee parties.
Mrs. Coffey appeared with her proper
credentials to draw checks for her.
self and her two daughters.
At the same time appeared her hus-
band, from whom it is understood she
lis separated, but not divorced, with
his attorney, protesting against issu-
ing the checks for the children to the
mother. The father is a white man.
He claimed that the checks for the two
daughters should be paid to him.
After finding that the mother of
the girls was Cherokee by blood
and the father white man, the three
warrants were promptly handed over
to the mother. This is,in accordance
with the rule that the Indian parent
shall have the preference over the
white parent in drawing the money.

applies for his card of admission and
is under the influence of liquor, will be

RELATIONSHIP OF
INDIAN DIVISIONS
Difference Between Old Settlers And
Eastern or EmIgrant cherokees
is Made Clear.

Tahlequah, Okla, June "a. Few
people understand the relationship Of
the Eastern and the Western or "old
settler" Cherokees.
The "old settler Cherokees" are
those who came to the Indian Terri
tory prior to the treaty of 1885. They
at that time resented the action of the
government in spending five million
dollars in sending the Eastern Chero-
KEGS to take up land which the "old
settlers considered already occupied.
SO when the Eastern Cherokees arriv-
ed there was trouble Many of the
leading citizens of the nation at that
time were killed The Ridges repre-
sented a faction back in Georgia that
had avocated the westward movement.
The Rosses, headed by Chief John
Ross. represented faction which
claimed then and still claims, that
the treaty of 1885 was never agreed
to by the real body of the Cherokee
people effected, nor by their represent
atiyes. but was by new people who
pretended to act for them. These fac
tions were very bitter towards each
other, and the Ress faction towards
the federal government and the state
of Georgia.
The "old settler" Cherokees, those
already here, were against both fac
tons. 1t was sort Of three-cornered
affair, and it plunged the Cherokee ma
tion into internecine strife for several
years and many Of the factionists paid
with their lives. That is one Of the
reasons why a part of the Cherokees
went to Texas. Some of them have
never returned They settled in the
northern counties Of Texas. Many of
them, or their descendants. are yet
living in Russell county, Texas.
These difficulties were settled by
the treaty Of 1S46. by which It was
agreed that all of the Cherokees should
be considered as one national entity,
all share alike in the land and the
money Of the nation, except the East
ern immigration money, and from that
date begins the prosperity and develop
ment Of the Cherokee nation OF the
west. The civil war which came later
wiped out all trace of the old factions
and left the Cherokee nation solidifed
for all time and with race pride and
ambition found nowhere else in the
world
It shows in educational. political,
commercial and social lines of develop
ment the Cherokees leading all other
Indian nations In all OF these qualities.

Campbell Dismisses Suit to Restrain Remooal

Guthrie, Okla, June 24.-That the

violation of the compact said to exist
with the state of Oklahoma locating
the state capital temporarily at Guth-

from maintaining an action in the fed

that compact, is the opinion by Judge
Ralph Campbell, who dismissed the
Guthrie case yesterday afternoon.
Leave was given Guthrie lawyers to
sake exceptions and Immediately no
tice was given of an appeal to the
United States supreme court.
Judge Campbell did not pass on the
validity of the enabling act, saying
that it was not necessary to enter with
the question for the purpose of deter
mining the matter of jurisdiction. AT
ter reciting the allegations in the
Coyle bill, the terms of the enabling
act and the circumstances of Okla
homa's admission as state, in the
opinion continues: 'In view of the
