10! The Rich
Indian; Says He
Owns Oil Fields
Cherokees Claim Two Cities and
Famous Wells Tract in
Oklahoma.

Washington, April 15.-Claim to A.
100000 acres of land in Texas and
Oklahoma, including the cities of Tulsa
| and Oklahoma City, and practically the
entire Burkburnett oil field, was filed in
the supreme court in behalf of the
Cherokee Indian nation, supported by a
government patent issued by President
Van Buren, and certified as authentic by
the interior department.
The claim was in the form of a petit
ton for permission to intervene in the
Red River oil lands case, an original
suit between Texas and Oklahoma in
vOlving jurisdiction over the valuable
oil fields situated along the common
boundary.
The motion was filed by John NJ. Tay-
Tor. a grandnephew of General Zachary
Taylor. as attorney for the Cherokee
nation. He said the patent was discov-
cred accidentally among the papers of a
deceased chief of the tribe
Bearing the date of December 81,
1888, the patent gave to the Cherokee
nation ''forever" a tract about 500 miles
in length through the Panhandle section,
comprising in all 14,374,135.14 acres.
Only the possibility that the statute of
limitations will nullify this claim pre-
vents the Cherokee nation from having
''Watertight case" counsel said 1t
will be contended, it was added, that this
statute does not apply since the supreme
court has held that it cannot be pressed
against the government itself and that
the Indians as wards of the government
are possessed of the same rights.

COURT REMOVES
SUFFRAGE DOUBT ON
TENNESSEE ACTION
Certificate Legal, It Says, Thus
Finally Putting End to
Disputed Question.

Nashville. Tenn, April 15.-The Ten
nessee supreme court has sustained legal
ity of the process by which Governor
Roberts certified to the Federal state de-
partment ratification by the Tennessee
legislature of the woman suffrage
amendment to the Constitution. The
court affirmed the action of Chief JUS
tice D. L. Lansden in issuing writs under
which the governor acted.
The courts action was taken in deal
ing with a motion to quash writs seek
ing to prevent the certltlcation OF the
legislatures action.
The bill set forth alleged facts in
connection with ratification of the SUI
frage amendment, which it was said were
in violation of the state constitution,
provision prohibiting action by the gen.
eral assembly on any amendment to the
Federal Constitution unless such gen
eral assembly should have been elected
after the submission of such amendment.
The petitioners prayed that state officials
be enjoined from taking any steps to
proclaim, declare or certify the adop-
ton of the suffrage amendment by the
general assembly, then in special session,
and from taking any affirmative action
with reference to the alleged illegal
action of the special session which I'M

PENDANTS.
A petition for certiorari and super
sedeas was presented on the night of
August % by certain of the defendants
to Chief Justice Lansden at his resi-
dence, and after hearing argument by
Frank NJ Thompson, state attorney
general, the chief justice issued a fiat
The attorney general on the following
morning advised Governor Roberts that
the action of the chief justice left the
entire matter open. He also advised the
governor that it was his power and duty
to certify the legislatures action on the
suffrage amendment to Washington as
having been duly performed.

L he 18th annual report of the Car
negle Foundation for the Advancement
of Teaching, made public this week,
states that the total resources of that
organization now amount to $24 ,628,0OO
and that during the IS years of its ex-
istence $7964,399 in retiring allowances
and pensions have been distributed to
900 persons.
OF this latter sum $625,OOO has been
paid to former teachers of Harvard.
$548,OOO to former teachers of Yale, and
$464,OOO to former teachers of Column
bia University. Sixteen other UNIVERSE
and two hundred thousand dollars each
The remainder has gone to 80 different
institutions. There are now operative
$50 retiring allowances and 100 widows
pensions, 81 of which were granted in
the last year, entailing an annual eXpen-
diture of $97067O The average retir-
ing allowance paid is $1,568.

During the last year three institutions
-Bryn Mawr College, Queens Universe
and Whitman College-Were added to
the list of associated institutions, and
II institutions adopted the new plan of
contractural annuities in addition to the

The Soundness of requiring obligatory
participation through annual payments
on the one hand and the objections to
placing on the teacher the entire cost
of establishing a plan that is not con-
tractural, and the lack of protection in
case of permanent disability or prema-
ture death, are pointed out.

the new plan of contractural annuities.
