Division Of $40, 600, 900 In
Tribal Funds Also
Advocated.

Strong recommendation for the release
OF the $40 Apache Indian prisoners OF
war held at Fort Sill. Okla, Is made by
the Board OF Indian Commissioners In
the annual report to the Secretary Of
the Interior. -
Inc Board also recommends the break
ins up OF tribal funds, and their distri-
outon to the individual Indians entitled
70 tnem. The board believes that
every indian entitled TO share in these
iunos should be recognized by name
upon tne books OF the Treasury and
nave MS snare either credited to him
W name IN case he Is incompetent to
manage II, or paid to him II he is COM.
pe.snS ana legally entitled to receive II.
rne DIVISION Of this sum, amounting
approximately to tls.0oo,0oo. would entail
very little additional expense upon the.
government according to the report OF
the Indian Commissioner. II would
necessftate an accurate roll OF All the
tribes, something that Ia needed. The
Commissioners want the Bureau OF
American Ethnol0gy to compile a com
plete census Of persons, family history,
and relationship that will stop utisation
from the distribution OF these trtlpa,
funds. 4E -9FE
Returning to the Apache prisoners Of
war, the board recommends that an 81
lotment of land be made at Fort Sill for
every one OF them who wishes to re-
main on the reservation there. and that
those who want TO return to the Mes
calero reservation be permitted to do so.

COMMERCE COURT
RECEIVES BLOW IN
TRIBUNAL RULING
". S. Supreme Justice Lamar
Attacks Alleged Assump-
tion of Power.

In a decision Of the Supreme Court,
through Justice lamar, Tuesday, a
blow was struck ut the assumption Of
power by the Commerce Court In en-
joining the orders OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The authority
OF the commission in matters OF fact
is supreme, according to the Supreme
Court.
The effect of the decision is that the
Commerce Court must hereafter confine
itself to reviews as TO questions OF law.
The decision was handed down In a
case before the court involving lumber
rates, wherein the Commerce Court had
enjoiEed the order OF the commission,
but in which the Supreme Court sus-
tained the commission and reversed the
lower court.
Scope Of Powers.
Justice Lamar thus set forth the scope
of the powers OF the commission and
the Commerce Court:
"There has been no attempt to make
an exhaustive statement OF the princi-
pies involved, but in cases thus far de-
cided II has been settled that the orders
of the commission are finaI, Unless Cl)
