HE SENT TWO OF THEM TO THE
SENATE TODAY.
RAWLINS READ SOME LETTERS
Senator Burrows Wanted the Filipino
Correspondence Referred to Com
mittce But Senator Rawlins
Wanted 1t Read.
(By Assocla ted Press.l

Washington, March 1S.--When the SON
ate convened today two veto measures
of the president were laid before the
body and ordered printed.
The first was veto of an act to grant
an honorable discharge from the mill
tary service to Charl ii. Hawley and
the other was veto of an act for the re-
lief of James Howell.
Mr.. Rowlins of Utah offered some cor
respondence with respect TO the organi-
zation and purposes of the federal party
in the Philippines, which he asked to
have printed.
The request gave rise to some debate.
Mr.. Burrows of Michigan moved that
the correspondence be referred to the
committee on Philippines.
Mr.. Hoar antagonized the motion,
holding that the senate always acceded
to such resolutions and in this instance 1t
involved a matter which some people
believe to be vital TO the prosperity Of
this country
Mr.. Rawlins finally, on Mr.. Allison's
objection, withdrew his request, indi-
eating that he would read the cor
respondence and thus secure Its pub
licatlon in the Congressional Record.
A resolution offered yesterday by Mr..
Gallinger, directing the civil service COM
mission to send certain information to
the senate was passed.
