DECISION in CHEROKEE CASE
-Four Millions Due Eastern Indians
VIII BE Distributed on Per
Capita Basis.

WASHINGTON, March 2O-The supreme
court of the United States today declined
to interfere in the distribution by the
government of several million dollars to
eastern Cherokee Indians. The court holds
the Indians have been guilty OF neglect Of
their legal interests in delaying so long
to bring their action.
The Indians claimed that the court in
1905 decided that the government owed the
eastern Cherokees more than 100000 as a
balance, including interest since 1876, for
giving up their lands in the South At
lRntic states and decreed that this sum
should be distributed to the heirs of the
Cherokee of 1876.
The court of claims held this method
to be impracticable owing to defective
records Of descent of Indians and other
difficulties and decided a distribution to
the eastern Cherokees of 1906 on a per
capita basis" To this basis OF de-
termination, on which practically the entire
fund has been distributed, the Indians OBJ
jected.

Teaching Schoolgirls to Swim.

From the Scientific American
In the apparatus in use in Germany for
teaching schoolgirls how to swim the
pupil is supported in such position as to
leave the legs and arms free to perform
the motions of swimmer. The body is
hung In a wide belt, suspended from an
overhead rail, while the feet are attached
to a pair of ropes running over pulleys
and adjustable to various requirements.
The pupils thus suspended are then
taught how to perform the movements of
the breast stroke until the action becomes
almost instructive. There is a decided ad-
vantage In teaching these movements in
such a way instead of in the water, for
the pupil is not distracted by the fear of
a ducking. 1t is not at all easy to learn
water. hence the advantage of acquiring
this knowledge until it becomes almost
instructive before entering the water.

tween the Capitol. the government print
ing office, the new post office and the
Union station. Many minutes will be
saved in the delivery of each package be-
tween each of these places. and these
will total days in the course of every
year.
Uncle Sam is getting a bargain in the
purchase of the tube system between
the House wing and the House office
building. few months ago the manu-
facturers of this new system-"vacuum"
in contrast with the usual Compressed
air"-offered to install it at the Capitol
for the purpose of demonstration. Elliott
Woods, superintendent of the Capitol
buildings and grounds, had heard of
similar propositions before After ap-
paratus had been installed and proved
successful in the past. the manufacturer
invariably came forward with a claim to
be properly recompenSed, and he got his
claim paid.
Tries New Plan.
Supt. Woods didn't care to have
repetition. So he offered to pay the man.
ufacturers $1,000 for the apparatus. in
stalled and in working order The equip
ment. it is estimated, will cost the manu-
facturers between $4,000 and $4,000 and
the cost of installation is no little sum.
Supt Wood thought the apparatus worth
$1,000 for scrap. anyway. So he made
the offer and it was accepted.
The tube is about eighteen inches in
diameter, and the carrier car that will
run through 1T will be just a little small
er in circumference. On the outside of
the carrier car balI-bearing wheels are
placed. and it is upon those that the
carrier rushes through the tube, the
wheels running simply on the sides Of
the tube.
The size of the tube is one Of its prin-
cipal features. It Is claimed to be the
largest carrier tube of its kind ever
built
The possibilities of the system in con-
Meeting the government buildings are be-
ing considered in connection with the
trial. Such system. by which docu-
ments could be sent back and forth from
the Capitol to the government buildings.
would prove valuable. Especially would
the saving of time count materially in
