approved.. . k
ibe advocates of tbe Irwin site again

"Suit was commenced December 23,

trial until February 1912.
"Demurrer Were filed bv the sev

being that tbe appropriation by con
gress was insufficient to cover th value
of tba property nought to be condemned
and that the secretary of the interior
waa prohibited by atatute from spend
ing money in excess of tbe , amount
specifically appropriated for any par
ticular, purpose. Consequently, it was
pleaded that the owners would be put
to a great deal of unnecessary ex
pense as the I'nited States would prob
ably decline to take the property, the
awards being too high. Tbia is exact

in excess of the appropriation and
