SEMINOLES AWAIT . GREAT O|L TRIAL
May Be Worlds Richest People
 if They Win Suit

Tulsa, Okla. July 5.-Again the interests of the red man and the white man clash in the Indian ter ritory that was supposed to belong to the red man for all time and A new tribe of the richest people in the world" is in prospect if the In dians win.
 The present clash is in the form Of another of Oklahoma's big scale law suits, affecting income of $250.- 600 a day and probably S100.000,- GOO in future wealth of the famous Seminole oil field in eastern Okla homa.
 The vanishing Seminole Indians who are back of the suit. declare that they, rather than the present white owners, should be receiving the bounteous royalties now being paid out by oil companies produc- ing in the Seminole field. They claim that when title to their lands in Seminole county - approximately 375, 900 acres-passed into the hands Of white purchasers, the sub-surface or mineral rights remained collec- lively vested in the Seminole nation.
 At the time of the sale of the Seminole lands. about 1900, there was no knowledge of the great oil wealth under the surface. No one dreamed that the land would some day be turned into one of the most productive oil pools of all time--the famous Seminole field. Already the field has produced q score or more white millionaires, men and women who bought the land from individual Seminoles, who, when the Seminole nation went out of existence as such in 1900, took title to what had for merly been vested in the Semno.e nation as whole.
 2O00 Authorize Suit
 The plaintiffs in the suit are four individual Seminoles, Chilli Fish, Louis Fife. Allan Gran and Samson B. Harjo, These four were authorized to bring suit on behalf of 2O00 members of the Seminole tribe at a mass meeting held in, August. 1929. The plain tiffs are backed by former United States Senator Robert l.. Owen and his associates, among whom are D. H. Linebaugh of Muskogee and H. G. Thompson, a Washing ton lawyer.
 According to the plaintiffs statement. the mineral rights Of the land remained collectively vested in the Seminole nation even when the title passed to the indi- vidual Seminoles. This arrange ment, they argue, was approved by the United States government.
 On April 26, 1908, Congress passed an act vesting the mineral rights of the Seminole lands, as well as the surface titles, in the white purchasers. The plaintiffs assert that this act. which speci- fically provides that the interest ,of the Seminole nation in the min eIal rights should cease. is uncon- stitutional.
 Defense Refutes Claims
 Lawyers for the defendants. tn" Carter Oil Company of Tulsa and other large and small companies drilling and producing in the Seminale area. refute this unCon- stitutional argument by showing that, since the Seminole nation ceased to exist as such after 1909. 1t no longer lad anything to lose

 They even at times paid a double premium for the pasteboards so as 10 insure a corner in the marke.. The opening price to the public was four times the face value of the tickets.
 One Of the leading spectators said he made a rich haul on the Tllden tennis. The grounds accom- modated only limited number of spectators Most Of the capitals wealthy people decided to see th" American champion in action and readily paid five and even six times the par value Of tickets
 For the Toscanini concerts the Opera House afforded more than 2.OO0 seats. The tickets were snapped up from the box-offices, but the public refused to be mulcted beyond 100 per cent above the original costs and at the last min Ute the spectators had to let some Of their tickets go at sacrifice prices.
 The football match. however. put the spectators again in good spirits, for n hundreds of cases they got ten times the original value for tickets and they could have disposed of many more than were available.

when the act was passed in 1908. But when the nation ceased to ex- isl, contends the Indians, title to the mineral rights did not pass to the individuals because of this, but remained in a common body of Seminoles as opposed 10 the or ganized body under the name of nation" tribe" or govern ment"
 The Indians do not seek to re- cover the millions that have al ready been paid Tn royalties to the white owners by tne oil com panies, but merely to have the companies restrained from paying further royalties to the whites, and to pay them instead to a com mon Seminole fund
 The defendants have been off cially notified of the suit, which is to be tried in federal court at Muskogee. They were given un- til June 20 to file their answers.
 While some of the oil compa- nies are inclined to regard the suit lightly, there are others which seem quite concerned over the possible outcome.
 Present owners of oil and gas royalties in Seminole county pos sibly stand to lose between s2OO.- GOO and s30O,00o day in in comes, while the oil operating companies will probably not be affected in any way" said Judge James A Neasey, vice president and chief counsel of the Carter Oil Company.
 The Seminoles' case resembles that of the Osage tribe of Okla homa, except that the Osage were still owners of their land when oil was discovered thereon. Pre- viously the Osake had eked out q barren existence on their rocky farms. but the oil millions soon elevated them to the wealthiest people in the world and reckless extravagance followed. Recently, however, their wells have been dvindling.
 Seminoles' History ColOrful
 The history of the Seminoles has been a colorful one.
 Originally they roamed what are now the southern states and were on close terms with the Creeks of Alabama As civiliza- tion advanced they were driven southward into Florida, where many of them still reside among the Everglades. After repeated and unsuccessful wars with the whites, most of the tribe gave it up as futile. So. about 1S4S. they consented to being moved to what i., now Oklahoma
 After wars with other tribes for many years the Seminolcs were almost propertyless anl starving. Put brighter day was dawning for them; memorable treaty wase signed between the Indians Of the plains and the Five Civilized Tribes, which the Sem inoles represented.
 In floWery language, ii was sol emnly agreed between the Indians that:
 Peace and friendship shall for ever exist between the tribes and bands. parties to this compact, the ancient council fires of our fore fathers already kindled by our brothers of the timhered country she be kept kindIed and blazing by brotherly love until their smoke shall ascend to the spirit land to invoke the blessing of the Great Spirit on all of our gooi works. The tomahawk shall be forever buried. the scalping knife shall forever be broken. the war path heretofore leading from one tribe to another shall grow up and become as the wild wilder ness
 This solemn treaty was at one time in the possession of Maud p. Jones of Wewoka- Of the Jones tepee, which is powerful among
