1ndain Children Get
Share in Cash Fund

Right OF 5000 Cherokee Indian chill
idren to share in an undistributed allot-
ment Of $5,50O.0O0 from the Government
to the Cherokee nation, was confirmed
today by the District Court of Appeals.
The court declares tho children are en-
titled to share with the 5000 original
members of the Cherokee nation in
surplus lands and money belonging to
the tribe.
The children were born in 1900, when
the Cherokee enrolment was made.
Their right to share in the surplus fund
was denied by the senior members Of
the tribe in a test suit brought by Levi
v. Gritts. Richard M. Wolfe, and Frank
]. Boudinot against Secretary of the
Interior Fisher, and Secretary of the
Treasury MacVeagh.
The original numbers Of the tribe
were allotted no acres of land each.
There was an excess left Of 440 0OO acres
and $2,500.000 in cash, all claimed by
the original members. Secretaries
Fisher and MacVeagh had planned TO
distribute the surplus pro rata among
the adults and children born since 1902,
as authorized by Congress-.
Today the Court Of Appeals said that
Congress has authority to delay enroll
born children.
The decision was written by Justice
Barnard. of the District Supreme Court,
who was substituted for Associated
Justice Van Orsdel, of tho Court of APP
reals, who had been interested in the
litigation before his appointment to the
Appellate bench.

and Virginia. announcement of the re-
vocation of their permits to sell milk

tion of the farms from which the dealer
received his supply showed that the
