COMMITTEES ACTION DUE
TO DEMAND OF SENATE.

Mr.. Hale defended the Committee on Ap-
preparations from Mr.. Elkins's charge that
the committee had not given due care in
reporting the amendment to the Senate.
and said that the committees action had
been taken only in response to the de-
mands of the Senate. and to preserve the
Exposition from possibly bankruptcy
He. expressed regret that the country had
embarked on a policy of supporting expo
sitions, and facetiously referred to the bill
appropriating s2.C010o0 for the Oregon ex-
position "the raid of the Senator from
Oregon referring to Mr.. Mitchell He
expressed the opinion that popular opinion
in the Senate also would force that enter
prise through.
And hope the Senator from Maine will
be with u.s." said Mr.. Mitchell
1T is altogether probable that will be.
responded Mr.. Hale. for / am not fond
of leading professions of which l am the
only member
Continuing his speech. Mr. Elkins fur
ther urged that, If the security for the
proposed loan is as good as represented
the banks in st. Louis have s1.G00OO0 on
deposit to loan. If Governor Francis
who Mr.. E.lkinS said. is at the head of
one Of the biggest trust companies in the
Mississippi Valley, would indorse the note.
he had no doubt that the money could be
easily secured in his own city
The Senate went into trief executive
session without concluding the debate, and
at sos p. m. adjourned.
