Mr.. Daniel of Virginia, Sounds the
Warning Note of Delay

before adjournment. Mr.. Teller of !
Colorado objected.
Mr.. Daniel, of Virginia reiteratins
Mr.. Teller's objection, sounded the first
note of delay against the measure that
has been heard since The dabte upon
it began.
He declared that there was no eme" |
gency which required the immediate
if certain provisions of the bill put
into it by the Democrats of the finance
committee were not agreed to by the
Senate, he would offer some amend
ments to the measure that probably
would precipitate debate.
He strongly intmated, too. that If
the war should not be prolonged it
might not be necessary to provide so
much revenue as the bill would raise,
and he indicated a desire to await de-
yelopments that in all likelihood would
close at hand, before passing a bill that
meant so much to the people as this
one.
Speeches on the general features Of
the bill were delivered by Mr.. Stewart,
Pop, Nev., Allen, Pop, Neb., and Cat-
fiery. Dem. La.
Before the revenue bin was taken UP,
This morning. the pension deficiency ap-
preparation bill passed. 1t carried
nearly $4,000 600.

earlier than usual. to resume its dis
cussion Of the war revenue measure.

to supply deficiencies in pensions and
for other purposes. As reported the
bill carries:
For pensions. $S,070.S72; for the war
department, 1928, 600: for the navy de-
partment, $780,, additional clerks III
