DISTRIBUTION TO CHEROKEES.
Supreme Court Declines to Interfere
With Manner of Payment.

The Supreme Court of the United States
has declined to interfere in the distribu-
ton by the government Of several million
dollars to eastern Cherokee Indians. The
court holds. in a decision handed down
yesterday, that the Indians have been
guilty of laches, or 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 over 100000 as a
balance. including interest since 1886 due
these Indians for giving up their lands in
the south Atlantic states, and decreed
that this sum should be distributed to
the heirs Of the Cherokees Of 1916. The
Court of Claims held this method to be
impracticable. owing to defective records
of descent of Indians and other difficult
ties. and directed q distribution to the
eastern Cherokees Of 1906 on a per
capita basis To this basis Of distribu-
ton. upon which practically the entire
fund has been distributed, the Indians
objected. Justice McKenna delivered the
opinion.

Grand Jury Witnesses Called.

The grand jury which convened here
yesterday will take up the Allnutt case
Thursday morning, the witnesses having
been summoned to appear that day. 1t is
not thought the consideration of the case
will consume much time. Should an in
dictment be returned the case will be
docketed for trial at the criminal term
which begins Thursday, March 30 but
there seems to be considerable doubt that
the case will be tried at that term. as the
probabilities are that Miss Rawlings, who
is regarded as one Of the most important
witnesses, will not be able to attend.
which would doubtless mean that the
state would ask a continuance.
Just what course the defense will pur-
sue in its effort to have Allnutt declared
insane is not known. Two courses are
open. One is to ask the court to have
jury summoned to hear testimony and
pass upon his mental condition and the
other is to hold of until the trial and
make the defense on the ground Of in
sanity. No matter which Is decided upon,
! stubborn legal battle is looked for.

Rockville was preliminary to having him
appear as a witness for the defense, al
though the result of his observations
could not be learned.
Reports from Jacksonville are to the
effect that both Mrs. Allnutt and Miss
Rawlings continue to improve. While
Miss Rawlings is not yet regarded as
having passed the danger point, she has
progressed SO much since regaining con-
seriousness Thursday night that DR.. Upton
Nourse. one Of the attending physicians,
has given it as his opinion that she will

NEGROES LOSING GROUND.
Ratio of Increase Compared With
Whites Shown by Census.

Washington, ID. c., Ncv. 1O.-That
the negro population of the United
States is increasing less rapidly than
it did in previous decades and much
less rapidly than the white race is
shown by the census figures published
today. In continental United States
in 1910 there were 81, 1872, 6s7 whites,
or 1873 per cent of the total popula-
ton; 9,828,294 negroes, or 1917 per
cent and All, 285 Indians, Chinese,
Japanese, ETC., or 0.04 per cent. In
1880 the negroes constituted 1871 per
cent of the population.
The white rate OF increase, of
course, includes Immigration. When
the 100000 white persons who en-
tered the United States are deducted
from the increase from 1900 to 1910
the rate of Increase drops to Is per
cent. Accordingly, the white races
natural increase is about per cent
greater than that Of the negro The
natural increase of the whites Of i'm
migration, was slightly more than 16
per cent
During the decade 1900-1910 the
whites increased 1929. 491, or "a
per cent. The negroes Increased 1884,
300, CT 11.3 per cent. In the previous
decade, 1SS0-19oO, the white rate 81
increase was PIP per cent and the ne
gro 1871 per cent
