into an agreement with the Chip
pewa Indians of the State of Min
nesota. This is referred to as the
Act of Congress approved January
IA, 1889 (25th Stats. at l., 642).
Among other things, the act pro-
vided for commission whose du-
ties among other things, was 10
make an accurate roll or census of
each band of Indians in Minnesota.
This roll was made and it has been
the basis for property rights of
each individual therein enrolled.
In making this roll the Commits
sion did not escape the embarrass.
ment usually attendant in the pur-
suance of such a task. There were
present many persons who had but
little Ind'a1 blood and who at.
tempted to secure enrolment,
knowing of tho benefits such en-
rollment would occasion. Many
of these So called White Indians"
we're denied enrolment upon the
objection by the Indians, because
of their doubtful status as Indians;
that they were not then or prior,
recognized as members of the
tribe and practically never affiIi-
ated with any band, thus practi
cally having abandoned their
rights and had always lived among
the whites. 1t was the policy of
the Commission to permit the In
dians themselves to judge as to
who should be placed on the rolls.
The said rolls having been COM
pleted as provided by the said
agreement of 1889, many persons
thereafter sought enrolment.
Some were thereafter enrolled and
many were denied enrolment. The
situation became confusing. There
had never been any definite policy
of the Government in allowing
added enrollments after the Com
mission had completed its work.
Finally the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals, in the case of
Oaks ct al, v. United States, 172
Fed. 305, placed a construction
upon the Act of 1889 as tr en-
rollments. Pursuant to that de-
cision, the departmental officers
undertook to strike off many of
the names of persons who had
been previously enrolled by the
Commission, and the situation then
became more confusing. Not un-
til the solicitor for the Interior
department ruled upon the matter
had anything definite and clear
been expressed upon this subject
The opinion of the solicitor is
dated February II, 1919. That
decision however makes no men,
ton of the right to recover So
called back annuities. 1t merely
fixed the legal status of the claim,
ants to enrolment rights. Since
that decision, theae has been
countless numbers. of applicants
for enrolment with the Minnesota
Chippewa Indians. A great num-
Der have been enrolled lately, aud
we are advised that there are some
100 applications pending before
the department. Many of them
will possibly become enrolled, and
others, now realizing what may be
obtained if H. r. 2876 is finally
approved, will also seek enroll

ment or through the Courts. If
they are all successful the number
of new enrollments may reach
several thousand persons, and they
will of course be entitled to so.

time. We estimate that a person

/. THE CITY BEAUTIFUL.

When certain young surveyor ran
his chain around the edges of the
Fairfax estates or guided over the
Alleganies the blissfully unfit forces
of the brash Braddocll, his mind was
altogether free from any expectation
that a city would some day be named
for him. He would never for an in
slant have dreamed that what he
wrote after the &C." in his signature
would come to designate the capital
of a nation as broad as the continent
whose breath was then unknown and
stretching from the Huron country
and the French settlements of the
north south to the lam Of the Aztecs.
Yet he lived to see its beginning. May
no man living, nor his children, nor
his children's children, live to see its
end.
A friend of mine is fond Of saying
that Washington is beautiful in spots.
There are few furs as highly priced
as ermine and leopard. And yet it is
precisely the spots that give charm
to the whole skin. Striped pelts, too,
are beautiful; but stripes, after all,
are just continuous spots if we are to
accept the definition which makes a
line a continuous succession of points.
But the capital city does not depend
on this for its beauty. Beautiful spots
it has in plenty, but it has as well
beauties which are universal, not
merely local, in their extent.
The physical beauty of Washing
ton is due chiefly, think, to three
things. l have given a good deal of
thought and observation to the mat
ter and my conclusions are, l claim,
entitled to a hearing at least. And

common enough in the residential Sec

found in great cities, at least in the
East. | mean the parking reserve, a
depth of ground extending from the
sidewalk for a goodly distance tc

pulchritude established bounds, diff.

"Thus far shalt thou come ana no far.

almost every thoroughfare run two

If the capital city has been careful
to preserve its trees and to enhance
its beauty, it has been equally wary
Of planting that variety, so common
in other and less favored metropoh-
tan contemporaries, that bears Meth
er bark nor verdure, but is heavy
with the fruit of modern communica-
ton of transportation. Where other
towns are marred by myriad overhead
wires for the conveyance and purvey-
ance af electric light and power, the
City of Washington buries its wires
underground.
The voices Of our telephone COM
munication, our lighting and the pow
er that moves our trolleys, washes
our laundry, sweeps our floors, per-
colates our coffee, cooks our food and
heats our rooms, comes to US out Of
the earth beneath our streets. We
have all the blessings and none of the
bane of electricity. We have none of
the unsightly poles and their suspen-
ded network of wires, save in some
outlying sections of the city where
the plans of our beautifers have not
as yet been carried out in full.
These are a few Of the things that
men have done to keep our National
city thing Of beauty and joy for
those who come to see tie heart of
the nation and listen to it's pulsations.
There are many, many more that ma
ture, with some little help from man,
contributes to make Washington the
City Beautiful. If you doubt it, come
and see for yourself.

FOUR SCORE DEAD, MILLIONS DAMAGE
IN STORM SWEPT SOUTHERN STATES
ASK FOR FRESH
CREWS IN SEARCH
TRAPPED MINERS

Wheeling. w. Va, April 3O.-A
call was sent out today by r. NJ.
Lambie, chief of the West Virginia
Bureau of Mines. for additional
rescue crews to complete the explor-
alton of the Benwood Mill Mine of
the Wheeling Steel Corporation
where Ill men were trapped in an
explosion Monday. Three additional
bodies were located during the day.
leaving G6 of the miners in the
workings at the time of the explos-
ion unaccounted for.
The call for reserves was issued
to relieve rescue workers who have
been driven beyond endurance in
their frantic search for bodies of
victims. Most of them have been
on continuous duty with short rest
periods since the explosion and were
near the point of physical exhaus-
ton. Other crews were expected to
report during the night but the ia
tigued workers were carrying on"
until they arrived.
The work of exploring the mine
was delayed several hours today by
the presence of carbon monoxide in
large quantities but got under way
again late in the day and Chief Lam
bic expected to reach Number Eight
entry during the night. Three score
miners were at work there when the
blast occurred.
Fifty hours after the explosion
only 45 bodies had Deem recovered.
The fatigued crews had burrowed
through 5000 feet of fallen rock and
debris from the Browns Run air
shaft. Other crews had penetrated
5000 feet from the main entrance
when it was found impossible to
proceed further in that direction.
When the rescue work was first
started crews began digging their
way forward at each opening and
were to meet each other. A space of
several thousand feet intervenes be-
tween the two points which is yet
to be explored.
