thing to have about particularly when you
want to amend an appropriation bill. When
the item i'm the Indian appropriation bill

ing it $4,000 and the fight was on. Repre-
sentative Hinshaw, who is member OF
the Indian affairs committee, stood
shoulder to shoulder with MIR. Kennedy,
and with the support of the Missouri and
California delegations It was comparatively
easy to raise the appropriation TO the old
figure. Mr.. Kennedy was prepared to make
a showing to what Omaha was doing.

extended explanation.
