aults arising in the domain of the five
civilized tribes and the Quapaw
agency, and which would have threat-
«n«d hundreds of claims In the eaat-
«rn section of Oklahoma, probably
have been prevented by the quick
work of the Oklahoma delegation In
congress.
December 16 It was discovered by
Senator Owen that last year, through
a mistake or an oversight by the com-
mittee revising the codification of the
laws pertaining to the judiciary, had
in switching the powers of the old
Uuted States circuit courts over to the
district courts of the nation, placed
the power of settling Indian land
claim suits entirely In the hands of
the federal courts. It provided that
all persons in whole or In part of
Indian blood or descent, who were
titled to an allotment of laud under
any law of congress, or who were en
titled to land under any allotment
act or under grant by congress,
who claimed to be unlawfully exclud-
ed from any allotment to which claim
they were lawfulyl entitled, might
prosecute action in the United States
district court.
The codj^lcation measure as revised
Washington.—The senate, toy a
unanimous vote Tuesday night, for-
mally ratiiled President Taft'a notifi-
cation to Russia, of the termination of
the treaty of 1832. The Lodge joint
resolution, reported by the foreign
relations committee as. a substitute
for the Sulser resolution that passed
the house 300 to 1, was adopted after
an all-day debate over Russian dis-
crimination against the Jews of Amer-
ica. The house Wednesday Is expect-
ed to agree to the senate measure.
The resolution was adopted at 7:19
p. m. It was introduced for the com-
mittee by Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts.
The measure was couched in the lan-
guage most satisfactory to the Wash-
ington administration, which sought to
avoid giving offense to the St. Peters-
burg government.
This final action came after two
substitutes had been voted down. It
was the climax of a notable proceed-
ing In the chamber which guards Ju-
dicially Its traditional power to make
and break treaties. All through the
symposium of views to which many
senators contributed throughout the
day. however, were citations of his-
torical instances of treaty termina-
tions by executive action.
The senate was held In session un-
til a late hour under the urgent plea
of Senator Lodge that to secure action
before the Christmas holiday recess
Thursday it was necessary that ths
senate act Tuesday night.
