RIGHTS TO Be DETERMINED
Eligibility Of Porto Rican as American
Army Officer IL Being Questioned
by Authorities.

The question as to whether Luis
Raoul Esteves, the Porto Rican grad.
uate in this years class from West
Point. is eligible for commission In
the army has been raised. Under
decision of the court Porto Ricans are
not citizens of the United States. and
for that reason it was suggested that
Cadet Esteves might not qualify as an
officer of the army.
While the question has not been
passed upon by the legal authorities.
the opinion Of those who have been
looking up the presidents is that the
fact that the cadet is not citizen Of
the United States will not disqualffy
him from holding commission.
Beginning with the Revolutionary
war down through the Civil war. fot-
eigners have held commissions in the
United States army. Without regard
to his citizenship the Porto Rfcan now
has tho legal status of cadet. He is
on different status from the Fill
pinos, who under special act of con-
gress are permitted to take the course
at the military academy. Esteves en-
tered the academy and was educated
under the same provision of law as all
other cadets. and it is thought that 1t
will be held that he is eligible for a
commission in the army.-Washingto

BIG CATTLE INTERESTS
IN STATE TRANFERRED.

interests, which have long dominated
in this section, will retire, and the last
of their thousands Of cattle have been
shipped out. The termination of graz
ing leases between the Zimmerman in
terests and the Indians of the reserva-
ton, through the Indian department
of Washington, brought about the de-
parture of the oldtime cattle king with
his trainloads of cattle.
For years the fine grazing lands of
the Cannon Ball reservation have been
at the command of Zimmerman cattle.
1t was upon the recommendation of
former superintendent, ]. Kneale, that
the contracts were terminated. The
lands, sufficient to care for from $4,000
to 100000 cattle yearly, are now being
leased to other ranchers in small
tracts. The Zimmerman cattle are
being shipped to Texas, where the
company has large holdings.
