seminole INDIANS
TO BE CITIZENS
Signify Intention Of Giving Up
Long "Warlare'

Miami, Fla, Nov. % LF--Chief
Tony Tommy and 500 members OF
the Seminole Indian nation have
signifed desire to embrace Ameri-
can citizenship.
At least so Chief Tommy has un-
burdened himself in letter to
President Coolidge that places a
single condition on avowal of COM
plete allegiance. namely, that the
Seminoles be permitted to remain in
their Everglades and not be trundled
off to some western reservation.
Chief Tommv's overture amounts
to not more than a friendly gesture
for the Washington government has
already provided by congressional
act the granting of citizenship. Sew
eral attempts have been made to OBJ
tain the oath of allegiance from the
nation but a hatred of the whites
has fingered since 1897.
In that year General Jackson in
terrupted one Of his campaigns to
effect a truce with the Seminoles
and thon, seemingly through over
sight, made off with their chief, Os-
ceola. The nation retaliated with
an open hostility that was suppressed
ed in later years by an aloofness
that even now is characteristic. Fol
years their tribal business has been
carried on in the Everglades, a con-
siderable distance from tho white
mans civilization.
Only recently, with the advent of
Tony Tommy, has the nation made
noticeable advances beyond the for
est haunts where few white men
have trespassed. How much of the
Everglades the Indians occupy has
long been matter of speculation.
On the few occasions the white man
has been permitted to view Seminole
ceremonies, the customs, traditions
and beliefs have seemed to be those
which General Jackson encountered.

BRITAIN ACCEPTS
MEXICAN RULES
Oil and Land Laws Not BEING
Disputed

Washington, Nov. q P1Condi-
tons imposed by the Mexican Oil
and land laws to which the state
department has taken vigorous ex-
ception, have been accepted, the
Mexican embassy has been advised.
by all British oil interests in that
country, together with an impor-
tant Dutch company, La Corona
and some American and other COR
porations."
The new laws. embodying the ma
tionalization policy of the Mexican
government, provide that foreign
holders of oil mineral and similar
properties must, by January /, sign
agreements not to claim the custom
airy protection Of their own govern
ments for property rights or forfeit
their properties to the state even
though obtained legally prior to en-
actment of the statutes.
This Is the point at which the
United States government has balk-
ed, holding the American citizens
waive their right of government pro-
lection and contending that the
meaning of the new Avs is that the
Mexican government claims a right
to convert unqualified ownerships
into terms for years by the simple
device of requiring the existing titles
to be exchanged for concessions of
limited duration"
Despite this situation, which af-
fects other nationals as well as
Americans, kilograms received by
the embassy say that Harry Hadheld
Hallat, acting for the Compania
Mexicana De Petroleo, which en-
braces all British oil interests In that
country, has filed papers complying
with the law. The holdings repre-
sented by this company amount to
200, 100000 acres. Less extensive
rights are concerned, apparently, in
the similar action described in the
messages as having been taken by
the Dutch. "tmerican and other
corporations"

PineM Would
Umpire in
Major

Word from Cincinnati is that
Babe Pinelli will one day become a
major league umpire. He is being
encouraged in his determination by
two or three National League ar
bitrators. This means his playing
days at Redland seem to be about
over.
When he joined the Reds a few
years ago he had a big job on his
hands, that of trying to hold down
the hot corner like Heine Groh,
who was regarded as the best third
sacker in the country at the time.
He had fighting spirit and the will
to win and he helped the Reds.
In Fridays double bill the fans,
like all fans, forgot Pinellfs great
playing of other days and booed
him when he missed a couple of
plays. The cheers for this consci-
entious player drowned out the
razzes, but still Pinelli never talks
about playing minor league bass
ball on the Pacific coast.
