WASHINGTON, AUG. 18.—Much in-
T\ treat centers in the result of the man-
damus it . ..Mllr :s Instituted against
tin- .s i ri'iary of •; o interior, Ethan A.
Hitch,. . k. t,, coiiii.(*il him to allot land*

plicant who claim m< t.ibershlp in the
Wichita tribe. The cases In thoni-
!f.-!v..s ni" el' t i in .nient, hut n prlli-
cip- is inwlvc.i which affects th.?
i jiow i'.s of th . ret.iry and which,
would com-
ionliio th. practice of
the ai partment. The position of the do-
p.-irtnv n has alwi.% i • -,n that the sec-
retary had unr.-Htrictcii authority in
d- aling Willi t: Indians. No tribe
through council action, adopt a
< i!ii' n into tho trible without the
itary of the inter-
ns eexerciped this
nstances and his
right to do ho ha
ed heretofore.
Tile department has proceeded on
tho theory that the secretary had un>
restricts! authority in governing the
Indian wards of the government, ex.
cept where his power was limited by
treaty agreement of federal statutes.
Tho present cases will call for a judi-
cial decision wf this point. It is claim-
ed by the attorneys of the petitioners
that the secretary has no authority
over the membership of the tribes, un-
less by treaty or by statute he has
been clothed with that power. They
point out that never in any treaty
with the government or by any federal
statute t
given this power over the Wichita and
Kiowa Indians. Mr. Robeson, the lead-
ing counsel for the. petitioners, Is rec-
ognized as
and Indian lawyers in the country. At
