to the house bill authorizing the secretary of
the interior to submit a proposal for the sale
of the western part of the Crow Indian reser-
walton in Montana
The house then proceeded to consideration
of the Euloe resolution relative to Ken nedy's
speech. 1t directs the clerk to communicate
to the senate that the house repudates and
condemns Kennedy's language as unpar(ia-
mentary. The pending question was on the
point of order against the resolution raised
by Mr.. Grosven Of Ohio.
Mr.. Bount of Georgia, in arguing the
point, recalled the BrOoks-Sumner episode
and cited the action of the house in that case.
Whenever member of this body arralgned a
senator as feon and traitor by reason OF
his conduct IN regard to legislation there
could be no question but that the character
of the house was assaulted. He (BlOunt
was not here to vndicate the character OF
the senator from Pennsylvania. He was
not here to investigate whether or not
the charges made by the gentle
man from Ohio were true, but
the question Of the character and dignity of
the house was one with which its members

Record. fit was adopted the speech would
be expunged, while the most Objectionable
part cited by the gentleman from Tennessee
(Enloe) would remain in it as part Of the
speech.
Mr. Enloe suggested that the gentleman
from Illinois was hardly the person to make
reflections upon another PERSONS unparlia
mentary language.
This led TO a brief personal colloqy between
NIessrs. Cannon and McMillin and Enloc
After further debate Mr.. Euloe demanded
the previous question upon his resolution,
which was so modified as to be an expression
on the part Of the house that it "disapproves
and condemns" Kennedy speech and di-
rection to the public printer To eXpunge 1t
from the permanent Congressional Record.
The house refused-y6aS, S3; nays, ll4-to
