mining company in Mexico merely az I the representative of relative who held
 stock in the corporation.
 Mir. Burton (Kan.) said he had exam
 ined the papers and had had no dimculty l in getting them. He felt that pr. Scott was being 'outrageously treated ans likely to. be robbed of his money" Mfr Bailey asserted that petition had been presented to the President by Americans in Mexico praying for the re call of Ambassador Clayton because ne had been recreant to his high duty in protecting their interests from the Tn justice of Mexican courts"
 The coloquy then followed with MT Beveridge whom he referred to as the forces and the able defender of the ad- ministration's policies. who earned that title by his service to his party Mir. Bailey said he labored at a disad- vantage before the Department because of his political affiliations. Mir Beveridge insisted that this was un-
 believ1ble. He could not believe that any Senator of whatever party would not re- ceive kindly hearing before any De-
 partment, whether the administration was Republican or Democratic. 'I have not insisted Mir. Bailey. T know that have had no such hearings In the Department as Republican Senator. and we may as well be candid about it. :" MT. Bailey maintained that the Amert- can ambassador as indicated by the pa- pers In the case, was either dishonest or incompetent. In either case he ought to be removed. He declared that the United States ought to be represented at the Mexican capital by man whose brain highest service"
 Mr 1sayarid0e waryaIy defended Ildge Penficld. solicitor of the State Depart ment. who he declared was man Of enninence as lawyer and jurist and of stainless character. He declared that Mir. Bailey had attacked Judge Penfield by innuendo and insinuation, and that in-
 nuendo and insinuation had extended to
 the American ambassador to Mexico and
 to the Secretary of State himself. He characterized Mr Bailey's references to
 Penfield as an ''unwarranted attack"
 To this Mir. Bailey took sharp excep-
 tion and he urged that MT. Beveridge
 withdraw that insinuation."
 T make no insinuation.'," retorted MT.
 Beveridge. If the Senator will withdraw
 his words about a high official of the
 State Department. I will be very glad
 indeed to withdraw mine"
 "The declaration" said Mir. Bailey hot ly, that have made an unwarranted GIIaCk upCIl d fudn VI tui LiiC 0SHuItVA dU- scribes as being as honorable as myself I want to say now. Is SO offensive that
 it is deserving only of such a reply as the rules of the Senate will not permit me to make here.''
 ''Neither the Senator from Indiana nor any other man can insult me and require me to withdraw what I have said in the
 performance of my duty before he with
 draws his insulting remarks"
 MT. Beveridge declined to withdraw his
 remarks, saying that MT. Bailey was en-
 tirely too sensitive. He knows very we'll" said Mir. Beveridge, referring to Mir
 Bailey, that the words 'unwarranted
 attack were not an insult and not in-
 tended to be. The Senator from Texas eri-
 ployed extraordinarily violent language
 concerning the solicitor of the State De-
 partment. The Senator is not insulted,"
 he declared. but only sensitive"
 In a later colloquy MT. Bailey said:
 "I can fathom the intelligence of every
 man in this chamber except that of the
 Senator from Indiana
 "I am glad to know," retorted MT. Bev- eridge, that you are beyond your depth"
 Mir. Fairbanks (Gnd.) at this point ex- plained that he had communicated with Solicitor Penfeld since the debate had
 arisen and was convinced that the trouble
 MT. Bailey found himself in had grown out of a misunderstanding. Every paped
 was at the disposal of Mir. Bailey and he knew that Solicitor Penfleld had no inten-
 ton of inconvenencing the Texas Sen
 atoc.
 MT, Bailey directed attention to the fact
 that Mir Beveridge had not withdrawn tho offensive words he had used to-
 ward him.''I'
 MT. Beveridge replied that Mir. Bailey
 had not withdrawn the viol ent language
 he had employed toward Judge Penfield and said he (Beveridge) had disclaimed
 any intention of insulting MT, Bailey. but
 he did not think his chafacterization of MT. Bailey's words was too strong. MT. Mason Qll) thought Dr. Scott had
 been seriously ill-treated and that the
 resolution ought to pass. At MT. Bailey's
 request the resolution finally was refer
 red to the Committee on Foreign Rela-
 tions with power to investigate the case
 and report on it.
