Recognized as Authority.

Recognized by both major parties in
Congress as the foremost authority on
parliamentary procedure during his
long years of service at the Capitol,
the death of Mr.. Kinds brought forth
many expressions of regret among
his former colleagues today. Tribute
was paid to his memory by Uncle
Joe" Cannon, who said:
ASHER Kinds was a college mate of
Thomas B. Reed. They were both
from Maine. Coming to the Capitol
first with Reed as his private secre-
tary at the opening of the Fifty-first
Congress, he served many years as
clerk to the Speakers table and par
Humanitarian in the House. My finest
memories of him were during the
eight years of his service under me-
He was undoubtedly the best par
Humanitarian in the United States and
it is not going too far to say the best
in the world. He compiled Kinds
Precedents in eight volumes, which
consider the best authority touching
parliamentary usage of Congress. He
commanded the respect and confidence
during all his years of service of all
members of both sides of the House
and it was on the suggestion of Mr..
Bailey as democratic leader of the mi
nority that his precedents were made
a public document and the authority
of the House. His death is deep per-
sonal loss to me and to the many
friends he made here at the Capitol
during his service"
