SENATOR CURTIS SIGNS
INDIAN MEMORIAL BILL
Pleasing Duty DevoIves Upon
Him as Senate Presi.
dent Pro Tenn.

The first bill to be signed by Senator
curtis or Kansas as president pro
tempore OF the Senate was that pro-
Viding for the erection Of a memorial
to the North American Indian. Senator
Curtis takes special pride in the fact
that there Is a large portion Of Indian
blood In his veins.
The bill mentioned was passed by
Congress during the extra session last
summer. 1t was one Of the last meas
ures to receive approval Of both houses.
and there was a big rush to get it en-
rolled and ready for the signatures of
the presiding officers of the two houses
Of Congress. 1t was within couple
OF minutes of adjournment time when
Speaker Clark blotted the Ink of his
signature and handed the bill to Clerk
South of the House.
South Loses the Race.
Mr.. South made a dash down the CEN
ter aisle of the House. through the long
corridor that connects the two wings
Of the Capitol to the Senate chamber
door. He rushed into the Senate wav-
Ing the bill in his hand. But he had
lost the race against time, for Vice
President Sherman had begun the SEN
tencc which was to adjourn the Senate
sine die. The bill has been held over
until this session. awaiting the sigma
ture OF the Senates presiding officer.
It fell to the lot of the Indian senator
serving as presiding officer to sign the
bill.
1t authorized the erection, without ex-
pense to the United States, by Rodman
Wanamaker OF New York city and
others, on a United States reservatio
in the harbor Of New York, and on a
site to be selected by the Secretaries
OF War and Navy. a suitable memorial
to the North American Indian.
Supervised by Commission.
The erection Of the memorial is to be
under the general supervision of a
commission composed Of the chairmen
Of the Senate and House committees
on the library. tho Secretaries Of War
and Of the Navy. and Robert c. Ogden
Of New York city. The design is to
be subject to the approval Of the COM
