four days OF consideration the House to-
day passed the Bankruptcy bill report
ed hy tie House committee on Judicial
~ a> Il substitute for the Nelson bill
passed the Senate at the extra session
last summer. The hill is known ~
the Henderson bill. and contains both
voluntary and involuntary features. 1t
is considered less drastic than the meas
urc passed by the last House by a vot"
Of 15I to 81. The involuntary features.
however. had but sixteen majority. To-
day Il motion to strike out the involun-
tary features was defeated by Il maJorl-
ty Of 10 and the bill was passed by i
majority Of 23, the vote standing ayes
1JS: nays 125. Eighteen Republicans
voted against the bill. and twelve
Democrats fer it. The Populists. with
one exception, voted against it.
To-day the bill was considered under
the tive-minute rule for amendment. but
the reading of the bill. which contains
so pages. only advanced through tn"
first section and only one ~unimportant
amendment waS adopted. 1t related to
the definition of Il term in the bill and
corrected IN admitted Inconsistency. it
was only by Il slight inadvertance Oh
the part Of the chamlions of Mr.. Ma
lGany's Rep.. \. W. amendment to
limit the operation Of the measure t.
two years that this amendment WAS
lost. 1t was voted into the bill before
four o'clock when the final vote was
TO be taken under the order. but Il mo-
ton to lay on the table. Il motion 10 re-
consider was carried by a narrow mar
gin. the roll call extending beyond that
hour. and the friends of the amendment
allowed the motion to reconsider 10 pre-
vail without a division intending to let
the vote come again upOn the amend
mPnt. But a point of order was inter
posed to cut off this vote on the ground
that the hour for taking the final vote
had arrived. Some delicate parliamen-
tart sparTing occurred. but the point
WAS sustained by the Speaker. Had the
friends of the amendment i~nterposed a
similar point of order against the mo-
J ton to reconsider it also would proba-
bly, have been sustained and the amend
ment would have remained in the bill.
