and 1t was some time before order was
restored.

Cochran, said he could cite countless
instances where the house again and
again had asserted its right against
the claims of the senate. and always
successfully, II had, he said, taken
MI Cochran II years to discover that
there was an invasion of the preroga-
tlyes OF the house.

Dalzell maintained that II did not
make any difference how many mil
Hons were involved by the order.

tarys estimates and to be distributed
under the law and pursuant to the
rules OF evidence established by The
pension bureau Therefore. he argued,
the matter OF money involved cut no
