Of The Reconstruction Committee II 8 O'Clock and
au hour was apeut in getting at general under
a.andinr. OF conrse there WIS row, as there
mostly IT, nowadays, whea Butles..couea to the
front. There has been bitter contest In the COM
mtttee over the measure. The so-called Bingham
amendment *as first rejected By to Z. Upson,
Of Ohio, changed front On reading
the evidence In the Senate Bullock
Investigation, and the committee then stood eight
to eeven In favor Of the Bingham amendment At

Speaker had decided spv dozen points Of Of

HpQse adjourned with the understanding that
there shall be TWO hourE' talk Tomorrow, and then

Ill I would nrt lr mid Ensas to say
thet Nj. Dawes represents the pcsltIon Of the
pre lident Hs proposition wholly Ignores the
Bnl pck muss, declares thu stste entitled to aa-
1uIA Apu, and leaves the issue whether there shall

The Presidents view iB that IN election cauuot be
avoided without violation Of the State Consutu-

as presented by Farnswor;h. Nj. LawEcnce'ssub-
srtute Il not likely To have much support, and
Cessnas will probably be Withdrawn In favor Of
Dawes. The latter win also have the aid OF SOME
members Of the Reconstruction Committee, and
the.chsnces tonight seem to be that he Eil carry
