INTEREST GROWING
IN CARTER BILL
ENROLMENT RIGHTS TO BE
ADJUDlCATED BY INTERIOR
SECRETARY WITHIN 6 MONTHS

Washington, April 1.-Great inter
esr is being shown in Representative
Carter's bill providing for the WIND
ing I'D of the affairs of the Five ClVl-
lized Tribes not only in Oklahoma put
in Washington, particularly among
those members of congress who have
long been students of the great Amer
lean native.
Bv the provisions of the bill the
secretary of interior is directed TO au-
Indicate the right to enrolment ON
the final approved rolls of the FIVE
Civilized Tribes of all Indians and IN
termarred persons whose names are
on the so-called list of fifty-two or
on the Pollock list transmitted by the
secretary of interior in February, to-
gether with the cases of all persons
whose enrolment on the final APPROX
ed rolls of the Five Civilized Tribes
was directed by the secretary of IN
terror within six months prior to
March 4, 1907, but whose names 40
not appear on the final rolls and VINO
had no hearing or opportunity TO be
heard, to show that the said final or
der or decision in their favor should
not be ignored or annulled.
1t is provided that the right OF all
persons TO enrolment shall be finally
adjudlcated within six months from
the date of the passage of the act
and the names of all such persons
found entitled to such enrolment If
any, shall be added to the respective
rolls, but no person enrollode shail De

To End Stream Of Claims.
The measure would put an end to
the ever-increasing claims to the
right of enrolment and the hundreds
of suits which are filed to obtain the
promiscuous re-opening OF the rolls.
il provides that the action of the sec
retary of interior sholl be final and
conclusive, after which the rolls shall
be considered as finally closed and
the secretary of interior shall proceed
as expidously as practicable to dis

allotments and distribute the" pro-

Sales provided for IN the measure
shall be by public auction, upon terms
to be prescribed the secretary or IN
terror except that no payment shall
be deferred longer than two years
after the sale is made. All agr;cu!-

than twice the appraised value.
Grazing and timber lands, il is pro

tary of interior, it IS declared shall

Upon the expiration of two years
after the lands have been offered for

rules and regulations to be prescrib-
ed by him shall cause 10 be sold to

ding such funds as hereafter may be
credited TO the tribes.
The measure Mr. Carter believes
will place the Five Civilized Tribes
in a position where they long should
have been, they on the whole being
perfectly able to handle their own af-
fairs. In addition to this it will do
away with the needless expenditure
of hundreds of dollars in the main
tenance of the Indian service among
the tribes.

GOVERNMENT WINS
in LAND SUIT CASES
FEDERAL SUPREME COURT SUS-
TAlNS JUDGMENT OF APPEALS
COURT IN 10000 LAND CASE.

Washington, April l.-the Su'
preme court today sustained the gov
ernment in all points raised in the
10000 land suit cases from Oklaho-
ma by affirming the Judgment of the
court of appeals for the Eighth cir
cult in the case of p. +. Hickman
and Robert l.. Owen, appellants,
against the United States.
These suits We're originally brought
in the Federal court for the Eastern
District of Oklahoma where Federal
Judge Campbell decided against the
government on the ground of lack of
jurisdiction and multifariousness OF
suits. etc. The government appealed
to the Eighth Circuit court OF ap-
peals. where Judge Campbell was re
versed and the case decided in favor
of the government. 4 series of test
cases We're then appealed to the SUI
preme court, presenting squarely all
of the questions involved in this 80
600 land suit litigation.
Objectio in Detail.
The objection TO the sufficency of
the governments brief were present
ed to the supreme court thus
l. That the United States has in
capacity to maintain suit.
>. That the bill is wholly without
equity.
3. That there is a defect of parties.
4. That there is a misjoinder of
alleged causes of action.
>. That the bill is multfarious.
The supreme court in its decision
today holds in favor of the govern
ment on all three points and Judge
Campbell is ordered to proceed with
the trial of the suits. which will come
up at Muskogee at the next term OF
court
Justice Lurton alone dissented from
this opinion but only on the question
of jurisdiction, and not in the merits.
The question Of capacity of the Uni
ted States to sue is argued at length
on this point The decision says
Not only was the United States
to prosecute this suit by vir-
tue of the interest sprnging from
its peculiar relations to the Indians
and the course of dealings which had
finally led to the plan ofseparate al
lotments accompanied by restrictions
for the protection of the allottees, but
has explicitly recognized the
right of the government thus to en-
force these restrictions and has made
appropriations for dhe maintenance
Of suits of this description"
Declared UntenabIe.
The contention that there is de-
feet of parties on account of the alb
5ence of the Indian grantors is decIar-
ed untenable.
In conclusion the decision says:
a further objection is that the bill
is multfariOus, but in the view of
the numerous transfers which the
government attacks, It was manifest
~ In the interest OF the convenient
administration of Justice that unnnec-
assary sales should he avoided and
hat transactions presenting the
same question for determination
should be granted in single proceed
ing"
The objection TO the misioinder of
causes of action. says the court. is
ike wine without ferment.

Variety Actor Tackles Second Grave
digger N Hamlet and stesIs Al
the Laughs.

A company playing Hamlet WAS
forced to md an actor to play the
Second Gravedigger on account OF the
illness Of the second comedian OF the
company. The only actor available
was a variety performer, who had no
reverence for Shakespeare and no re-
spect for the traditions of the classic
drama. The Second Gravedigger was
a comedy part. and he knew that he
could get away with IT,"
When the First GraYedigger threw
on the first waistcoat, revealing an
other underneath. the audience. tit
tered. The removal Of the second
waistcoat brought loud laugh. and
the third produced roar. The First
Gravedigiser was delighted. He had
never played to such an appreciative
audience, and visions Of good notices
in the papers and possible increase
in salary began to loom up before his
eyes. AS he threw or the fourth
waistcoat he turned partly around.
and the cause OF the unusual hit was
disclosed to him.
The Second Gravedigger. being ac-
customed| to build laughs on lines and
business Of other actors, saw his op-
portunity and seized 1t. AS fast as
the First Gravedigger would throw
the waistcoats on the ground. the.
variety comedian would pick them up
and put them on. The new business
was much funnier to the audience
than the old, with which 1t was thor
oughly familiar.
Not content with having stolen the
laughs from the regular comedian in
this scene, the new man went fur
ther. When the First Gravedigger
said to him, Go. get thee to Yaugh-
an; fetch me stoup OF liquor" ito
which there is no reply in the text),
the assistant sexton replied:
Vaughan told me to tell you that
you couldn't have any more liquor
from him till you paid for the last you
