Frick, before the House Commit
tee on Interstate Commerce, to.
day recommended the com mittee
to make investigation and decide,
first, whether railroads have rem

second, whether the cost has been
equitably assessed. He held that
the people had been misled by

could be no greater calamity than

the Indians. They cannot be ex-
peeted to make this change in a
day. Armstrong says they should
not be allowed to become too hum
CRY and should be treated with
consideration.
