CLAPP ACT is HELD ILLEGAL
Law Permitting indians to Sell Lands
Attacked in Suit involving Land
Worth Millions.

minneapolis, Minn-Titles to land
worth at least SIS, 900 900 and compris.
ing practically the entire White Earth
Indian reservation in Minnesota are in.
VOWED in a test case before Judge
Page Morris in the federal district
court.
Changing it's tactics in the White
Earth land litigation, which has been
pending for years, the government has
attacked the constitutionality of the
Clapp act of 1906, which permitted
mixed blood Indians to sell their lands.
Should the courts hold the Clapp act
unconstitutional every deed made by
Indian owners of land, including those
made by mixed bloods would be inval.
i'd.
Such decision would mean that
the 1900 suits now pending involving
titles to land and in which the govern.
ment claims that full bloods illegally
alienated their lands, would be drop
ped, for not only would the deeds in
volved in these suits be illegal, but all
transfers including those made by
mixed bloods would be invalid.
Thousands of Indians and thousands
of white settlers on the reservation are
vitality interested in the decision of the
case. Judge Morris declares the case
to be of vital Importance and intimated
that the final word will come from the
United States supreme court. He says
that he will make his decision in Jan
uary.
The latest chapter in the history OF
the White Earth Indian land litigation
is of particular interest at this time
because the department of justice is
considering the removal from office OF
Charles c.. Daniels.

with a maraschino cherry, or cut in|

spread on strip Of hot buttered
toast, or meat minced and heated in a
little cream or stock. Use olives or
hard-boiled eggs or a little minced
parsley for garnish.
Various vegetables can be used for
canapes. A slice of ripe tomato, topped
by a spoonful of mayonnaise and
placed on round of buttered toast Of
the same size, is delicious. A long strip
OF toast an inch wide can have thin
slices of cucumber Tapped one over
the other it's entire length, each dotted

Hundreds Of Danes are fighting with

Ing to Capt. Percy Hansen, Briton of
Danish parentage, who has just re-
ceived the Victoria Cross for his
bravery and enterprise under fire.
These Danes emigrated to Australia
and New Zealand.
The Danish steamer United States
was brought into the Clyde by Brit
lsh Warship, being diverted from her
route while on the way from Copenha-
cen to New York. A large number of
Germans and Austrians, with large
sums OF money in their possession,
were said to be aboard. The mails
from the ship we're put ashore.
British capital gossips are Selling
on the rumors that a Danish princess
is to become the future queen of Eng
land. They make a juicy tidbit for the
Sossips, for discussions Of this kind
are by the nature of events materially
circumscribed. With Great Britain at
war, many of the princesses that might
have been eligible as wives for Albert,
prince of Wales, have become ineligi-
bic. 1t would never do for the future
king to wed an enemy of his country.
1t is reported on good authority that
Queen Mary and King George have
about decided on Princess Marguerite
OF Denmark as a daughter-in-la The
princess is niece of Dowager Queen
Alexandra.
A course of lectures on farming was
given at Agersted, and among the at
PENDANTS were two farmers, Hans Mel

Jensen, who was only four years
younger.

The plan includes arrangements for

The banks of Copenhagen had a
combined capital of SIPS, 100000 at the
beginning of this century. Now the
amount is almost $370,0 100000. In other
words, it is three times as large as it
was Is years ago. This growth is
highly respectable even from an Amer
lean point of view.
A stray cow and her calf stayed in
the neighborhood of Borup during the
latter part of the summer. Several at
tempts to capture them were made,
but all in vain, for the animals would
run as fast as wild deer. The people
of the place have kept an eye on them
and if they don't permit themselves to
be caught when the snow gets deep
they must be shot like ordinary game.
