to S., 900 each and directed the
Legislative committee to secure the
payment of the same together with
the payment of the claims of the
five chiefs. Thus claims aggregat
ing more than $4,000 was re-
duced by the action OF the General
council and the executive commit
zee to $21 800 and it is conceded
by all, even Coffey, that all of
these claims are just, the only
difference being as to the amount,
and no one claims the amount fixed
in the bill are excessive. We sub
NIT herewith copy of the resolu-
ton adopted by the executive COM
mittee.
James l. Coffey still pursuing
his technical, captious and silly
objections insists that the executive
committee had no authority under
our constitution and bylaws to
adopt said resolution, that such
action could only b. legally taken
by the General council. A mere
examination of our constitution
and bylaws discusses how silly this
objection is and indicates the utter
incapacity of Mr.. Coffey to read
and understand the English Ian
guage. Sec. ) of Article + of our
constitution provides as follows:
1.-The executive committee shall
meet on the call Of the President
or three members thereof, and
transact such business of the asso-
citation as may require attention
between meetings of the General
They may, by the major
ity vote. call special meetings of
the General council"
Sec. 4 Of Article 7 of our BY
laws provides as follows:
1.-THE executive committee shall
prepare and execute plans for pro.
the purposes, objects and
Of the General council Of
all the Chippewas of Minnesota,
shall generally superintend its in
terest and shall perform such other
duties as may be committed to it
ut any meeting of the General
council"
There can, therefore, be no
question about the authority Of the
executive committee to take up
and adjust these claims which are
admittedly meritorious and to set
tie them for 20 per cent Of the
claimed. Our people are
DESTROYS of doing what is right and
fair. They realize that if it had
not been for the efforts of Gus. II.
and the efforts of B. l..
Fairbanks, the latter being used in
paying the expenses of the suit,
that the Mile Lac judgment could
never have been obtained. Not a
dollar of the money advanced years
ago by B. l.. Fairbanks amounting
to between three and four thOus-
and dollars, has been repaid him.
Had it not been for that money
the Mile Lac suit could not have
been prosecuted. BY the advance.
ment of that money at time when
it was urgently needed the Chip

these claims but insists that we
shall defer action in trying to Sc
cure payment until after the next

The KnutSon Amendment.

We recently became possessed
of copy of the Congressional
Record Of January 2]st in which
is given in full the discussion upon
the floor of the Knutson amend
ment.
This amendment is now of gen.
eral knowledge so we will not re-
produce it. 1t appears that the
amendment had friends enough to
enable it's passage upon second
vote on division. On the first
vote taken the vote stood, ayes 90,
nays 20. Ga the second vote Con-
gressmen Knutson, and johnson OF
Washington being Jellers the vote
stood ayes SO, nays %, so the
amendment was agreed to. The
amendment has yet a chance of
defeat for there yet remains Sen
ate consideration, the joint confer
ence, and again discussion upon
the floors Of each wing of Con-
gress. The measure we may be
lieve has a favorable start, still we
must not assume that all is well,
for it is no uncommon occurance
for measure to be defeated after
a favorable passage in the place OF
origin.
Whatever befa|ls the measure, it
is of advantage to the Chippewas
CT Minnesota, for even though the
amendment should not carry, the
subject matter has been we'll dis
cussed in Congress and the claim
of the Cbippewas is we'll under
stood.
And even should Congress fail
to give relief, there would still
remain the action of the supreme
court. Right here we would say
that the reluctance of certain con
gressmen to consider the amend
ment at this time was due to the
fact that suit is pending in the
~. S. Supreme Court bearing
somewhat upon the matter for
which relief is sought ia legisIa-
ton, and not in opposition to the
ame ndment itself.
In the discussion it came out
that Congress in the past had set a
precedent for letting a matter
alone which seemed to be involved
in IA case before the courts.
That the opinion did not control
is evident from the fact that the
matter was taken up and the
Knutson amendment passed.
We are uot trained to the law
nor familiar with court proceedings
but we are inclined to the opinion
that the knutson amendment does
not meddle with what the u. 5.
Supreme Court now has before it
for adjustment: that is the right
ness or wrongness of an appropria-
ton in the past; expenditure of
which was held no at first by a
writ of injunction issued by the
Supreme Court Of the District of
Columbia. This court at its hear
ing decided against the Chippewa
contention and dismissed the in
junction. The case went up to the
| Court of Appeals and the lower
court was reversed, thus the Chip
pewas' contention is sustained.
Thu. question arises in our mind,

TOCOMPARE KAISER
WITH BUSY JURIST

NEW YORK. June 9.-Mrs. Anna
Hoffman, born in Austria forty years
ago, was fined SO for making in
vidious comparisons between the Kais-
er and Frederick Spiegelberg, justice
OF the Fifth district municipal court
She averred that the Kaiser is a
better man than Justice Spiegelberg,
and IL cost her SO to say so.
Mrs. Hoffman, who lives with her
husband. Frederick, at "a West
Ninety-eighth street, was in the court
to collect money on a judgment. She
was annoyed because she had to wait,
and in the hearing OF the court clerk
she said
THE Kaiser is a better man than
that Judge"
'Eh? What's that querisd the
dumfounded clerk
81 mean just what ! say" asserted
Mrs. Hoffman. what I mean il that
the Kaiser is all right. and you can
tell that judge said So"
Robbins s. Rutherford, an attorney,
OF co Wall street, heard that and got
busy. He summoned a policeman and
Mrs. Hoffman was arrested and taken
10 the West Tooth street police sta
tion. Her husband remained in the
court TO collect that judgment money
probably and the clerk asked him
casually:
Nov. what did your wife mean by
talking that way?"
whatever my wife said was per-
fectly all right" declared the hus-
band. in deep gutteral tones.
Thirty seconds later Patrick J.
Oman, court attendant, had him under
arrest and took him to the West
Tooth street station, too.
Magistrate McQuade. in the West
Side Court. later fined Mrs. Hoffman
SO, but dismissed the case against
her loyal husband. She was locked
up until the husband could go and
get the money to pay her fine He
returned and paid II and they went
home. Mrs. Hoffman refrained from
saying out loud, within any ones
hearing, at least, what she thought
of Magistrate McQuade, or how, in
her opinion, he compared with Won
