Supreme Court Rules German Bonds Worth Once Held by Americans
The U S Supreme Court ruled that American holders of prewar German treasury notes may satisfy their claims from seized German funds held by the alien property custodian. Justice Holmes wrote that holders have an absolute right, despite the U S government seeking priority for about 400 million dollars in German claims. The decision immediately affects 2,715,571 dollars identified as belonging to the German government.

Indians Use Canes Presented by Lincoln as Chief Symbols
Albuquerque December 15. In 1863 Lincoln gave silver ceremonial canes to Pueblo and Zuni governors in New Mexico, tokens later seen as authority symbols for the pueblos. The canes, passed Governor to Governor, became emblems of rule and the Great White Father’s recognition. A past incident over a cane sparked government punishment and Pueblo anger, later mollified. Governors are elected by cacique councils at set periods.
