HURD's POPULARITY.

Great Interest shown in the Speeches
Made in the Contest Fight in the
House.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-The House
showed more interest in the speeches
made to-day for and against Frank Hurd
in the contested election case of Hurd
against ROmeis than it usually shows in
election cases. Mr.. Hurd is personally
popular on both sides and if he were not
a frank and consistent free trader would
almost certainly be seated, although his
case rests largely on technical
points of lay. He himself still be-
lieves that he will be seated. He relies
on his personal popularity and on the
speech he will make tomorrow in his
own behalf. He listened very attentively
to-day to the first speech of the debate.
which was made by Mr.. Boyle, a good
lawyer and a Pennsylvania protection
Democrat, who expressly disclaimed the
bias against Mr.. Hurd, which was attrib-
uted to him on account of the latter fact.
The rest of the day Mr.. Hurd spent in
talking to his friends on the
Democratic side. In spite of Mr..
Hurd's hOpefulness it is generally
expected that he will be beaten. The Re-
publicans are expected to vote sOlidlv

the Democratic party, except the Ohio
men, will vote with them. Mr.. Robertson,
OF Kentucky, a witty, good natured law
yer, who is also managing Mr.. Hurd's
case for him. frankly stated Today that he
did not expect any Republicans to vote
for him. He alway knew, he said, how
the Republicans would vote on an cleo
tion case six months before the vote was
taken. 1t is interesting to recall the fact
that in the last Congress Mr. Hurd bOtn
voted and spoke for his Republican col
league, Mr.. Mckinley, the author of the
minority report on the pending tariff bill,
whose election was then contested by a
Democrat named Wallace. Mr.. Hurd,
however, acted on the aV0wed theory that
it was better to have protection Repub-
lican than protection Democrat in the
House.
The following patents were issued to-
day: R. NJ. & j. N. Brooks, OF Jenkins

MI. Platt quoted Burns lines,
80 wad some power the giftie gle us
10 see ourselves as others see us"
HOW THE PEOPLE REGARD THEM.
He asked the Senators to endeavor to
realize how the people regarded secret
sessions. He did not know now much or
now little of what the newspapers printed
about executive sessions was true, but
he was justified in saying that secrets got
out to "A greater or less extent, mixed,
they might be, with the fertile magma
tions Of reporters. Nevertheless, no SEN
atOr could deny that either through the

mean to cast the slightest suspicion on
the officers Of the Senate. lie Mr.. Platt)
dld not want to be in position where he
was subjected to a suspicion of dishonOr-
able disclosure. We had better, he said,
have everything that was said by the
senators said in open session so
that it could be published unmixed with
the Imagination of reporters. The Sena-
tors had nothing left to them but silent
evidence when misrepresented. He could
name matter on which his constituents
supposed to-day that he had voted con-
trary to bis actual vote because it had
been wrongly stated in newspapers. He
could only submit in silence to misrepre-
sentatiOn, because he could not disclose
what his vote had been.
On the conclusion Of Mr.. Platt's re-
marks, Mr.. Butler asked and obtained
unanimous consent to address the Senate
after the morning business tomorrow on
the subject Of open executive sessions.
Mr.. Logan said he desired to follow Mr..
Butler on the same subject.

A Probability that He VIII BE Able to

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Secretary
Manning is today reported to be pro-
crossing fayOrably towards complete re-
coyery, ana it is believed by those nearest
to him that if he has no set backs, he will
be able to resume the general direction OF
the Treasury Department before the hot
weather begins, and TO take up bis daily
office work again Immediately after the
summer vacation. To do so earlier would
be, in the judgment of his friends, both
imprudent and unnecessary, in view OF

HURD VS.. ROMEIS.
The Contested Election Case Comes Up
in the House.


WASHINGTON, April 13.-In the House
to-day Mr.. Turner, of Georgia, called up
as a privileged question the Ohio con-
tested election case of Hurd vs.. Romeis,
Mr.. Reagan, of Texas, refraining from an
tagOnizing it with the Interstate COM
merce bill with the understanding that
that measure should lose none of its
rights as a special order. 1t was agreed
that the previous question on the election
case should be considered as ordered after
eight hours debate.
THREE REPORTS.
In this case there are three reports sub
mtted by the Committee on Elections,
the majority report confirming the right
ofthe cOntestee to the seat. the minority
report unseating the sitting mem Der and
declaring that Mr.. Hurd is entitled to the
seat, and another minority report, taking
the ground that neither the contestant
nor the cOntestee was duly elected. Mr..
Boyle, Of Pennsylvania, opened the de-
bate in support OF the majority report,
and quoted from evidence to support him
in his position that there was not any
ground for uuseating Mr.. Romeis, but
scarcely any ground for cOntesting the
seat.
OHIO REPUBLICAN METHODS.
Mr.. Robertson, OF Kentucky, spoke in
Mr.. Hurd's behalf and asserted that in
precinct 'B' of the Eighth ward OF Toledo
not one of the statute laws Of Ohio had
been compiled with. Discussing the
charges OF Illegal voting at this precinct,
he denounced the methods which he said
prevailed in the OHIO elections, and re-
marked that the tissue ballots of South
Carolina and the bulldozing of Louisiana
must pale into insignifcance when the
country learned the methods In which the
Ohio Republican elections were car
ried on.
Mr.. Martin, of Alabama, and Mr.. Croft
ton, of Virginia, argued in favor of seat
ing Mr.. Hurd, basing their conclusions
on the ground that the charges that in
timidaton and bribery had been
resorted to on the part of the
friends OF Mr.. Romeis had been
sustained by the evidence. After speeches
by Mr.. Dorsey, of Nebraska, and Mr..
ROwell, of Illinois, in advocacy of the
rights of the contestee. and by Mr.. Hen
derson, of North Carolina, in favor of the
seating of the contestant, the House al
journed.

Mr.. Frye's Resolution Adopted After a
Running Debate.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-The fisheries
resolution was placed before the Senate TO-
day and Mr.. Frye resumed his speech on
the subject.
running debate followed between
Messrs. Frye, Morgan, Gray and George.
Mr.. Morgan expressed himself unable to
ascertain that there was really an Un-
settled question before the United States
and Great Britain in regard to the fish
cries. There was no want of certainty in
our relations with Great Britain.
Mr.. George understood that the ques-
tion Of the right to buy bait and ice was
in dispute between the two governments,
which right we were claiming purely
under British municipal law. He in
quired il that was the point.
Mr.. Morgan said yes, and that we did
not claim that right under the treaty.
The municipal law of Great Britain per-
mitted us to take our vessels inro Cana
dian ports, like the vessels of any other
nation.
THE ONLY PREVENTIVE.
Mr.. George-Wh hat is to prevent Great
Britain from putting her own interpreta-
ton on her own laws?
Mr.. MOrgan-NOthingi in the world, but
we can retaliate by putting our interpre-
tatiOn on our own laws, that is all.
Mr.. Frye-The law of 1928 authorizes
the President of the United States-and
not only authorizes him but directs him
to issue a proclamation under certain
circumstau Does the Senator from
Alabama, MIR. Morgan understand that
that statute has ever been repealed?
Mr.. MOrgan-NO, 1t is still On the
statute book. Thatis the solution OF the
whole matter.
Mr.. Morgan added that If the President
were informed that our right to buy bait
and ice in Canadian ports was denied, he
had nothing to do but to proclaim suspen-
sion OF all trade between the two peoples
until the question is settled. In this view
Mr.. Morgan did not believe it necessary
for Congress to provide for any joint COM
mission to settle the question.
THE RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
Mr., Frye's resolution was finally brought
to "A vote and agreed to BY 81 yeas to 10
