ing in the room of the Senate committee
ON interstate commerce and remained
there until noon, but the Scuatc conterccs

A House caucus will probably be held
Monday afternoon. 1t will b. held at

At 1890 o'clock Hill made AN at.

But just then the vice President broke
Ill by LAYING b,iIrc the Senate a r,s)lu-
ton OF Chandler providing for the in-
vcstigation by the Senate committc on
privileges and elections of the charges o +
OF corruption made in connection with
the election III Alahama ola Legislature
which would have the election
of a United States senator.
This caused a suspicion that there was a
scheme to side track Hills resolution,
but Chandler cleared the way bv allow

when Senator Morgan, who will be the
Democratic candidate for re election bY
the Alabama legislature, will be present
There was disposition on the Demo
cratic side to debate the resolution even
after Chandler had agreed to let it 20
over until Monday, but Chandler, who
Was more anxious to have tie Hill mat
ter discussed, prcvcm',d this hv with
drawing his motion, Then lie offered it
