The Proceedings of Congress.

Washington, May 4.-In the senate yesterday the general arbitration treaty was discussed. There was a spirited controversy between Mir Morgan of Alabama and MT. Tillman of South Carolina.
 MT. Chandler introduced a measure to authorize the secretary of the treas ury to issue certificates of indebtedness in any year to an amount not to ex- ceed $50 000, ,o00 whenever a deficit in the public revenue should require it.
 In the house. Speaker Reed. being again attacked by MT. Simpson for not appointing committees, challenged him to introduce a resolution directing the speaker to do so. MT. Lewis finally in- troduced the resolution. The vote was on a substitute amendment offered by MT. Dingley, and 1t was defeated by a large vote.
 Washington, May 5.-SenatC rs Cor man of Maryland and Foraker of Ohio had a lively tilt in the senate during the consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill. There was added in terest in the controversy from the fact that MT. Foraker is a newcomer and this was his maiden effort, while MT. German is one of the veterans of the senate.
 An amendment offered by MT. Fora ker for s400,000 for the Tennessee river below Chattanooga furnished the cause of the controversy.
 MT. German made a severe criticism of what he termed reckless extrava- gance in appropriations. MT. Foraker replied, addressing his Remarks direct ly and personally to the Maryland sem ator, who was in the habit, he said, of featuring the senate on its duty to the people, whose tribune he assumed to be-"

 Harrisburg. May 6.-The report of the senate committee appointed In May, 1925. to investigate the operations of tho law known as the Builitt bill. under which the city of Philadelphia is goy- erned, was presented 10 the senate by Chairman Andrews. The report finds that the policemen and firemen Of Phil- adelphia directly and openly interfere with and intimldate voters. lt dee clares that subordinate members of the police force protect lottery and policy dealers and alleged sellers of liquor from arrest City contracts for street lighting, street cleaning and other city work. the report says, are awarded among a favored few, who avoid conn petition In bidding by having the city work divided Into sections, and those who are alleged to be in the combiua- ton have a prior understanding aa to which particular section each Is to en- ter bid for.
 The provisions of the law In regard to the civil service system. the report says, are deficient in theory and prac- tice and are woefully abused by those having the appointing power.
 On the question of political assess ments. the report says. it is the prac- tice to collect money from the employees of the city for political purposee
 The passage by the Philadelphia city council of an ordinance granting cer- tain valuable franchises to the Mutual Automatic Telephone company, and which ordinance was subsequently re- called and repealed after charges had been publicly made that its passage had been hastenod by the presentation of shares of the companys stock to in- fiuential politicians, is referred to at some length by the committee.
 The report in this connection says that ex-National Committeeman David Martin and ex-City Chairman Charles A. Porter both appeared before the committee of city councils and denied all knowledge of or connection with the Mutual Automatic Telephone conn pany and denied that they held any stock. but admitted that they had heard that stock was put In their names. They said the stock was put in their names without their knowledge or consent.
 The committee recommends the adop- ton of Legislation which will prevent the giving away of valuable fran chises and submit four bills with the report which are intended to prevent in the future the abuses variously re- ferred to in the report.
