WASHINGTON, Jan. lS.-Some lively
political sparring marked the later
hours Of the senate session. The free
homestead bill was under discussion
and Mr.. Allen found opportunity for
questioning Mr.. Villas of Wisconsin
concerning the party differences of last
fall. Mr.. Villas declared that there
was almost nothing in the Chicago
platform not inimical to the interests
of the government. He insisted that
the Indianapolis platform was founded
throughout in Democracy. Mr.. Allen
characterized the Indianapolis platform
as a trump affair" The controversy
became very lively. and took a wide
range. ,e...... wi
The homestead bill was further de.
>bateds but vote was not reached. Mr..
Villas attacked it as a measure giving
away $S5, ZOO, 900 of government money.
Mr.. Nelson (Rep., MIMI, Mr.. Allen

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The house

son Of California on Editor Hearst. Mr..

defended Mr.. Hearst and without the
mention of Mr.. Johnson's name, de-
tailed some matters in the early life of
the latter when he resided in Syracuse,

question Of privilege. He was at times
dramatic. He denounced Mr.. Maguire's
attack on him as ~. 1o.

and told the story of his indictment "a
years ago in New York for forgery and
how he had gone out to California to
rear a new home and make new
name. He described his success and
how he had been able to pay back
every dollar he owed. He then ex.
planned that all this was an old story
in California, where he had always
avowed it when he ran for Office. Then
with bitter invective he paid his re-
spects to Mr.. Mcguire and Mr. Cooper
of Wisconsin, who last week charac-
terized his attack ,on Mr.. Hearst as
cowardly. =s.t I~2
Mr.. Mcguire replied to Mr. johnson
in a sarcastic vein. He told how he
had attempted to secure time in which
to reply to Mr.. johnson during the de-
bate and had been unable to do SO, and
how he had printed his defense of a
man, unable to secure a hearing for
himself. He .".
sneered at Mr. johnson
for whining because his attack went
home to him, and said he should have
thought of the grief and anguish he
was bringing to another before he as.
