LIVELY DAY In HOUSE
Spirited Debate Over Senate's
Action on Revenue Bill.
CONFERENCE FINALLY ASKED FOR.
Sulzer of New York Talks For tn.
Beers and Is Reminded of a So
Called Benefit-Secretary
Heath Attacked.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12-Yesterday
was by far the liyeliest during the pres
ent session. A very interesting debate
over the constitutional limitations of the
power of the senate over revenue legisla-
tion initiated by the house was precipi-
tated when Mr.. Payne, the chairman of
the ways and means committee, brought
in the resolution of the committee to dis
agree to the substitute proposed by the
senate as an amendment to the war reve-
nue. reduction act and to ask for con-
ference with the senate.
Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota championed
the cause of the house and its paramount
rights over revenue legislation, but was
unfortunate in not bringing forward
resolution to return the bill to the sen
ate with the declaration that the senate
had transcribed its powers In substi-
tuting an entirely new measure for the
bill Of the house.
The subsequent debate showed that had
this course been adopted the proposition
would have commanded a large vote.
Instead. however, he insisted upon
division Of the resolution, and after the
first portion-to dsagree-had been
adopted he made the point of order that
the second motion was not in order be.
,vaded the constitutional prerogative of
the house. The result was that the men,
bers were not confronted with the direct
issue, and the house voted 233 to 80 TO
ask for IL conferences.
Later in the day during the considera-
tion of the diplomatic and consular ap-
preparation bill an impassioned pro-Boer
speech by Mr. Sulzer of New York drew
trorn, Mr. Mahon of Pennsylvania a re-
cital of the E..sipy of a fund of about
Sl,200 for the benetio of the widows OF
Boer soldiers at a meeting held in this
city at which Mr.. Sulzer presided. He
declared that after the "terrapin and
cold bottles got in their work" only SIS
was left for the Boer widows.
This stung Mr.. Sulzer to reply at
length. He said he had no connection
with the expenditure of the fund, to
which he had contributed $175. and a
very lively row followed. the climax Of
which was reached when Mr.. Sulzer had
read an anonymous letter which made u
sensational personal attack upon Mr..
Perry s. Heath, late assistant postmas-
ter general, who WAS secretary Of the
Republican national committee. during
the recent campaign, charging him with
being Neely's sponsor and then denying
it after the arrest of Neely and also max
ing allegations against Mr.. Heath in con-
nection with government deposits in a
New York bank. Mr.. Sulzer charged
Mr.. Heath with being responsible for
the circulation Of the stories about his
connection with the fund for the Boer
widows.
Shortly after the senate convened the
naval appropriation bill was passed. The
shipping bill then was taken up and kept
before the senate during the remainder
Of the ey""ntive day. Mr.. Caffery Dem.)
