REFLECTS TRB Senate
ANII-ANARGHY BILL
House judiciary Committee
Prefers Ray Measure.
THE POINTS OF DIFFERENCE
Upper Body Planned a Military Guard
for the President and Those in Line
Of Succession, and Conviction Of
Person Who Killed in Sell Defence.

The House Committee on the judiciary
today took up the bill passed By the Sen
ate FOR the protection Of the President
OF the United States" and the strongest
opposition to II was quickly apparent.
The principal objections to the measure
are because Of the section which give the
murderer a death sentence and his ac-
cOmplice not more than twenty years. and
the section providing a military guard
for the President, Vice President, and
Cabinet officials.
There was opposition also because the
Senate bin would convict a person who
killed in self-defeace and because there
is no provision for the punishment of
anyone who harboTs, counseIs, OF aids the
murderer.
The committee authorized. the chair
man. Mr.. Ray, Of Now York. to report the
House bill, which removes all these OBJ
jectiOns, as substitute for the Senate
bill
He was also authorized to amend the
House bin in one particular. making it
clear that the President. Vice President.
or those ia line Of succession arc presumed
to be at all times engaged in the perform
ance Of their Official duties.

milton for their part in the captures Of the

Captain Detchemendy believes that he
should have been allowed to make the
capture after he had secured knowledge
OF the whereabouts OF Aguinaldo. He says
that his command has received no recog-
milton whatever, and has almost been for
gotten. while General Funston has be
come popular hero and his men have
received decorations for doing what was
really made easy for them through the
preliminary work Of Captain Detche-
