OF CHIEF PLENTYC COOS

tana. AS head chief of the Crows,
Plenty Coos was an unsurpassed
leader, a forward thinker, a man
whose life was dedicated to the
service of his people. It will be
remembered that at the dedica-
ton of the tomb of the Unknown
Soldier at Arlington cemetery at
washington, D. c., the aged Chief
Plenty Coos addressed the vast
multitude through the aid of an
interpreter, as representative chief
of all the Indians. The address
was considered a masterpiece of
appropriate and stirring oratory,
dedicated to those many native
American Indian warriors who
gave their lives in the great war
for the country of their fathers.
Chief Plenty Coos was without a
doubt the most outstanding Indian
of his time.
It is for this reason that the
Crow tribe under the leadership
of Robert Yellowtail, Indian agent,
have so unanimously voted to
erect an immortal sculptured mon
ument in bronze at Crow Agency;
that those now, and future gen.
erations, may gaze upon their
great warrior and statesman,
Chief Plenty Coos, and recall with
pride the bravery, the heroic
deeds, and the wisdom of their
forefathers. The white man, too,
is interested in preserving a

Indian, and many individ-

CRIME PR0BERS
HEAR STOTT

Hearings before a special House
subcommittee investigating crime
conditions in Washington are to
resume today.
Inspector William G. Stott, head
of the Police Trial Board, is slated
to be the first witness today, with
most of the investigation center
ing around decisions made by the
board in the last four years. The
committee, it was learned, is seek
ing to determine why the boards
orders to dismiss several police
men were not put into effect.
Hearing Postponed
Hearings were not held yester.
day because of a debate on the
floor of the House in which com
mittee members desired to partici-
pate.
A long list of local residents in
terested in the crime problem here
is being prepared. Many of them
have signified a desire to appear
before the committee and give in.
formation they possess on Grim
inals and the administration Of
laws in Washington.
Garnett Recall Opposed
The committee has not an
nounced who will follow Inspector
Stott to the stand. It appears
doubtful that District Attorney
Leslie c. Garnett will be recalled,
despite a movement by several of
the committee to recall him. Rep.
Jennings Randolph (DD, of West
Virginia, chairman of the com.
mittee, has indicated an unWill-
ingness to have Mr.. Garnett ap-
pear again.
Several of the committee mem
bers are likewise desirous of hav-
ing clarified certain statements
alleged to have been made by Off
cials of the Department Of Justice.
Statements we're published to the
effect the Federal agency had
asked the committee Ito lay off"
its investigation of the District
Attorneys office. The Depart
ment of Justice denied having
made such request.
