only the questions of law and fact
pertaining to a single group of
claims. In this way the court
could comprehend clearly the
matter in controversy. The Indian
Bureau is determined that all the
claims shall be embraced in a single
suit. (
All provisions pertaining to the
employment of attorneys, the
compensation to be paid the at
torneys and other like matter
have been agreed upon. Only the
two vital questions hereinbefore
set out remain to be presented to
the Committee. The success of
Mr.. Ballinger means millions Of
dollars t. the Indians, while the
success of the Indian Bureau would
deprive the Indians of a like
amount. The matter will be pro
sentcd in the near future to the
Committee for decision. The In-
dians should advise the Committee
of their position with reference to
the two drafts of the jurisdictional
bills. The ToMAHAwK will print
in an early issue both drafts of the
proposed jurisdictional bills in
their entirety so that the Indians
may see exactly what the Indian
Bureau proposes and what MIR.

REPRESENTATIVE WEFALD INTRODUCES
BILL FOR PER CAPITA PAYMENT,
Mr. Wsfah us His Promises to the CppM II Measure Passes Without
Delay Indians Should Receive Payment by January st

The Chippewas of Minnesota
will be pleased to learn that the
prospects are very favorable for a
800 per capita payment to them
from their funds in the United
States Treasury, at an early date.
. Representative Wefald, true to
his promises made to the Chippe-
was, introduced bill in the House
the first day that Congress con-
yened, on December 1st, for a per
capita payment of 500 to mem
bers of the Chippewa tribe in
Minnesota.
Congress authorized a payment
of 500 last year." Mr.. Wefa!d
said, land that was about all the
Indians mad to live on. Early
frosts damaged their crops this
year and they need another pay
ment to carry them through the
winter.
II shall endeavor to getv the
bill through before Christmas in
order that distress may be avert
ed," Mr.. Wefald stated.
If the bill becomes a law each
and every man, woman and child
enrolled with the Minnesota Chip
pewas will receive a payment of
500. This means that about
$1,5oo,OoO will be distributed
among the Chippewas. Many of
them have large families and the

That there are about ten major
group claims "
Mr.. Ballinger insists, and his
contention is not denied by the
Department, that ninety-fve per
cent of the violations of the treaties
and agreements with the Chiope-
was nave been authorized by acts
of Congress, and that the depart
mental bill would prevent the
assertion of'ninety.6ve per cent of
the claims of the Indians against
the United States, for which no
judgments could be obtained. He
asserts further that the depart
mental draft is the first draft of a
jurisdictional bill ever prepared in
the Department that undertook to
exclude from the court jurisdiction
of claims arising out Of violations
of treaties and agreements with
Indians where the violations we're
the result OF laws of Congress.
Mr.. Ballinger insists that a viola
tion is a violation, and that it
makes no difference whether it was
occasioned by the acts of the ad-
ministrative officers of the United
States or the Congress; that in
either event the Indians are en-
titled to compensation for the re
sulting loss. The Indian Bureau
takes the position that the viola.
tions have occurred under laws
passed by Congress upon the
recommendation of the Bureau and
the Department, and that to permit
the court to now render judgment
for the losses the Indians have
sustained as the result of such
violations would be an admission
that the Bureau, the Department
and Congress had all acted i'm
properly.
Mr.: Ballinger insists that all the
claims of the Indians against the
United States cannot properly be
included in one suit To do so
would be to present to the court a
case of suc;i magnitude involving
SO many divergent claims that it
would be impossible for tie court
to fully consider aud understand
all the matters embraced in the
suit. He insists that the claims
should be grouped and that a sep-
arate suit should be filed for each
group SO that each suit would
present to the court for decision

Let's Have Facts
About the Indians,
And Not Fiction.

On behalf of the Chippewa ln-
dams of Minnesota, and more par
ticularly those of the White Earth
Reservation, residing in Becker,
Mahnomen and Clearwater coun-
ties, l ask your careful considera-
ton of the earnest request of our
people for per capita payment of
$100 to the Chippewa Indians of
Minnesota to be made this winter
from their tribal funds
Congress has hardened in the
past to the plea of the Indians for
a partial distribution of their tribal
funds on deposit in the Treasury
of the United States and such aid
has been thankfully received and
was the means of alleviating much
suffering during the winter months
1t is hardly necessary to call
your attention to the fact that
winters in northern Minnesota, the
home of said Chippewa Indians,
are severe, calling for warm homes,
abundance of fuel and warm cloth
ing, and plenty of nurishing food.
The Indian can no longer depend
on the bounty of nature for his
shelter, food and clothing, and for
those living in towns and villages
the fuel question is also of great
importance.
Not many years after the settle
ment of the White Earth and other
reservations, the digging of snake
root required only 25 cent hoe
and with this single tool the Indian
went out and earned IS per day
from early May until the ground
was frozen in the fall. So this
goes to show why the Indians
didn't take to farming, not having
the capital followed their own
ways. They also gathered other
medical herbs. The harvest of fish
and fur, grouse, rabbits and deer
10 winter furnished food, covering
for the teepe and a source Of
revenue for the Indians.
Today the prairies are given
over to farming. the lakes and
streams furnish few fish, and little,
if any, fur il obtainable, and the
deer have greatly deminished In
numbers. The white men, seeking
sport with their repeating shot
guns, and high power rifles, and
the ever present automobile on
roads that thread every corner of
the former Indian country, have
reduced the game to the vanishing

the Department officials on account
Of his activities on behalf of the
Chippewas. Consequently, as a
sign of confidence and appreciation
of the valuable services he has

resolution No 2, endorsing Mr..
Ballinger as attorney in the swamp
laDd case was adopted by the
council, the vote was almost unan-
imous, there being only three
dissenting votes. Resolution No.
3 was laid on the table.
Mr.. Joseph Bigbear made al
address in which >>he paid a high
compliment to Mr.. Balliager and
the work he has already accom-
plished for the Chippewas, and
urged all to stay with him to The
end. This sentiment prevailed at
the council meeting despite the
efforts of certain parties to the
contrary.
Whether other council meetings
in the Chippewa country will
concur with the White Earth
council in the endorsement Of Mr..
Ballinger remains to be seen.

Bobby Lowe Still Holds
Record for Home Runs

In looking over the baseball records
OF Babe Ruth it has been found that
the Bambno still has one record to
go and that one record is still held by
New Castle player Of the old days,
Bobbie Lowe. In the year 1894, May
80. to be exact, Boston was playing
Cincinnati, on the Boston grounds.
Elton Chambers was pitching for Gin
cinnati On his first time up In the
third inning Bobby poled out a homer
and his mate took a batting rally.
Lowe got a second time at bat in the
inning and drove out a homer Two
homers in one inning seems to be
about the cnly record that Lowe still
holds, but SO far Babe has been I'M
able to better it.
