PROVE OPINION REGARD
ING THE INDIANS.

Santa Fe. N. NJ, July 24.-rhe
opinion. reported some Gays ago
whereby Judge Pope II the federal
bench in the case OF the United
States vs.. sandoval, an action brought
to prevent the sale of liquor to In
dians, held that the Pueblo Indians
could not be considered Indians as
they were American citizens and en-
titled to all the privileges thereon.
has been filed and an appeal may be
taken by the government. Local at
torneys who have had an opportunity
to examine the opinion. declare it is
an excellent one, carefully prepared
and reflects great credit upon Judge
Pope. They assert that in their opin-
ions, the decision will stand and that
the Indians OF the pueb'os will be de-
clared by the higher courts to be
citizens and their country not Indian
country. The syllabus Of the opinion,
which is an exceptionally able sum-
mary, is ,as follows:
UNITED STATES VS.. SANDOvAL.
District Court. D. New Mexico.)
Syllabus BY the Court.
l. The American form of govern
ment contemplates union of equal
states.
2. Congress may not, save in the
exercise Of power conferred by the
constitution, reserve to tself in the
admission af a new state, police pow
or exercised by the other states.
3. The regulation of the sale Of
liquor is an exercise Of the police
power.
4. Where such sale affects citizens
Of state upon premises uncondition-
ally owned by such citizens, the exer-
else of the police power thereover is
ordinarily for the state, not for the
nation.
5. The Pueblo Indians of New
Mexico were considered citizens of
the republic of Mexico, and under the
treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo of 1S4S.
they became citizens of the United
States.
6. The Pueblo Indians OF New
Mexico hold their lands by uncondi-
tional patents from the United States,
issued in recognition of titles granted
them by the government of Spain
centuries ago.
z. AS to such Indians holding their
lands under such tenure, it was not
within the power of congress in ad-
mitting New Mexico az Z state to de-
clare such lands Indian country, or
to reserve to the federal government
the power to regulate the liquor traf-
fic with such Indians, the latter being
a part of the police POWER which
necessarily went to the state upon its
admission.
s. The provisions Of the New
Mexico Enabling Act of June 20, 1910,
SO Stat. 557. designed to the results
last named are void.

AUTOISTS WIN A
Big LEGAL
VICTORY
couRTs DECIDE STATES AND
TOWNSHIPS ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR DAMAGES

New York. July 24.-Another SUI
preme court. this time in the Key
stone state. has decided that town
ships. municipalities. counties OF
states maintaining wssssss Jars in pub
lie highways are responsible for dam
ages to automobiltsts or their cars
caused by contact with these unneces-
sary distractions.
This is a sweeping victory for mo
torists, as it is believed there is not
the slightest doubt about other states
as we'll as United States courts sus-
tanning the Pennsylvania decision. II
is in direct line with the opinion Of
the corporation counsel Of the city Of
New York. who recently notified
Mayor Gaynor that the city could be
held for damages caused through an
order of the park commissioners in
directing motorists over a given por-
tion of public highway. to-wit,
Coney Island boulevard, between
Kings Highway and Twenty-second
street" The mayor at once directed
the commissioners to rescind their
order.
The Touring Club Of America has
been urging test case such as has
just been decided in Pennsylvania, and
the club now proposes that an action
should be brought against the toll
road companies in New England with
view to showing that If in accord
ance with the precedtn established
by the courts regarding water bars
in public highways the local govern
ments can be held for damages, it is
also true that companies operating toll
roads can likewise be held for dam
ages caused to cars. and motorists
through water bars on these private
roads.
A test case, such as the club has
suggested, would also apply to the
famous road over Peru Mountain. on
the Blue Book route and Ideal Tour
between Manchester and Chester, vt.
The same action would apply to
owners of large estates who have
through influence closed public roads
and opened in return for the privilege,
roads through their property at the
same time attempting tb prevent fast
driving by introducing dangerous wa
ter bars.
Along the same line the club hopes
to meet with success for the motor
tourists in the elimination of what
might be termed sight barriers'' at
prominent highway intersections and
grade crossings. This work was be-
gun last year through the clubs Berk-
shire Hills branch at the Hotel Wen
dell, in Pittsfield. This year it has
been extended with the large increase
IN the number of branches and so far
many cross-highways have been clear
ed up by first obtaining permission
from abutting property owners and
soythes to cut away trees and shrub
berry which obstructed the view of
motorists approaching the crossings.
In many cases obstinate owners have
refused the clubs representatives per-
mission to remove trees or bushes and
afterward serious accidents have oc-
CURED at the crossings where permits
sion was denied to make them safe
without the slightest expense to the
property owners. It will be greatly
to the interests of property owners
on whose estates these dangerous OBJ
structions appear to either remove
them Immediately or give the Touring
clubs representatives permission to
do so.

No Strangers Allowed.

Frank H. Hitchcock. the postmaster
general of the United States. takes the
deepest interest in even the smallest
details of the postal service. One eve
ming he was at the Union station in
Washington. when he decided to go
into one of the railway mail-service
cars to see how the mail matter was
being handled. Being tall man and
very athletic. he easily swung himself
from the platform into the car. but he
did not find 1t an easy matter to stay
put. A burly postal clerk grabbed
him by the shoulders. propelled Elm
toward the side door, and practi-
cally elected him to the platform be-
low.
