"What we need" exclaimed Mr..
Morgan, 'is action, resolution, deter

outrages. And one exhibition of that
determinati0n in s9f gfo island an tHa 9f Cuba

In the course of his speech Mr.. Nor
gan referred to Spanish prisons being
stuffed with American prisoners. This
brought on another sharp exchange
with Mr.. Hale.
"What evidence has the senator
(Morgan)," asked Mr.. Hale, "that the
prisons of Cuba are filled with Ameri-
can citizens? do not believe that as
sertion."
II will answer" responded Mr.. Nor
gan, "by asking question. would

Mr.. Hale stated that he was not called
upon to prove negative. 1t was for
Mr.. Morgan to establish the affirmative
by records from the state department. or
from any other authentic sources.
At this point the hour expired for the
debate and gave the right of way to
the bankruptcy bill.
Mr.. Morgan wanted to go on, but it
was finally arranged that Mr.. Morgan
should proceed today. Mr.. Hale in
sisted, however, that the Cuban reso.
tion should be displaced and go to the
calendar, although he made no objec-
tion to Mr.. Morgan's speaking today.
"Then l give notice." concluded Mr..
Morgan, that when 1 get the floor l

Mr.. Stewart Pop, New took the
floor to speak on the bankruptcy bill.
He argued that the passage OF an invol-
untary bankruptcy law at this time
would work incalculable injury to the
country. Within two years the coun.
try would be urging congress to repeal
the law. A bangrupt law was in effect
