TROUBLE IN CONGRESS

The Indian appropriation bill may fail
of passage by reason of the insistance OF
Senators Clapp of Minnesota and McCum-
her of North Dakota that a provision al
lowing counsel fees to former Senator
Marion Butler of North Carolina and
others shall be retained in the measure.
The provision in controversy, which Is
based on a claim paid to the Colville In
dams of Washington. is opposed by Rep
resentative Burke of South Dakota, chair
man of the House committee on Indian
affairs.
The question is now before the CONFER

Cause Of Spirited Debate.

The debate in conference over this pro-
vision has been marked by sharp pas
sages between the disputants, with every
indication that neither side will recede.
Unless there is compromise the Indian
bill will fail Of passage, thus forcing the
President to call special session for
the express purpose OF providing funds
for the maintenance of the Indian serv-
ice. The only way a special session could
be avoided in event of the failure of the
pending bill would lie by the passage of
q joint resolution re-enacting the provi-
sions of the Indian bill passed a year
ago.
Mr.. Butler represented North Carolina
In the Senate for six years. Since his re-
tirement he has been engaged in the prac-
tice of law before Congress and the de-
partments, largely in behalf of Indian
tribes.
