GOVERNMENT CONTROLS
LAND SALES BY INDIANS
May Set Aside Conveyances,
United States Supreme
Court Decides.

The right of the federal government to
bring actions to have set aside some
5000 conveyances by full-blooded Chero-
kee Indians of their allotted lands was up
held today by the Supreme Court of the
United States.
The government claimed that as guar
dian of the Indian it had the right. under
clauses restricting the right of the In
dams to sell the land contained in the
allotment laws, to have the conveyances
set aside. The holders of the land to
whom the Indians sold objected to the
suits on the ground that the government
had mo interest in the land, that the
Indians should have been made parties to
the suits. and that the petition filed by
the government was "multifarious''
The United States circuit court for
eastern Oklahoma dismissed the suit on
all three grounds, but the eighth circuit
court of appeals overruled the objections
and directed the circuit court to proceed
with the suits.
Justice Hughes in announcing the opin-
ion of the court said that the right to
enforce the restrictions on the land was
the complement of the right to enforce
them as guardian of the Indians.
He said the Indians rights would be
amply protected by the United States and
so the Indians need not be parties to the
suits.
The court outlined the procedure in the
lower courts, SO as to protect the rights
of the 7arious parties.
