The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-02-28

despite the pairing and cutting which had been done, the appropriations this year were $S.000.000 over those of last year and he appealed to Mir. Williams to practice what he preached in the matter of economy. Unless appropria- tions were held down. he predicted a deficit within the next twenty-one months.
 The amendment was adopted. 120 to g..
 On a point of order by Mir Bartlett (Ga). the House struck out the pro- vision appropriating s20o.0o0 for an army general hospital to be located in Washington.
 The provision to substitute for exist: ing commissions in charge of the sev- era1 military parks. a committee of three members having all the powers and duties of the former bodies. was stricken out on a point of order by Mir. Birdsall (Iowa).
 An echo of the Swayne impeachment case was heard when various amend ments were offered to put restrictions around the $10 a day limit allowed for expenses of district judges, but all such were ruled out on points of order coming simultaneously from members of both sides of the chamber. Mir. Olmsted (Pa.) one of the House mana
 
 those offering amendment. He subse- quently tried to reduce the amount allowed from $10 to $6 per day, but was unsuccessful. The reading of the bill then was concluded. A refusal by Mir. Hemenway to accede to the Cleveland Ohio public building. caused the latter gentleman to lead a successful fight against the committee rising and favorably reporting the bill. He had the support of many Republicans and the entire Democratic strength.
 Chair Overruled.
 He renewed his motion, but was op- posed at every turn by Mir. Hemenway who contended that the rules forbade such action. The situation presented a new question of parliamentary pro- cedure. but the chairman In an exhaus- tive opinion ruled against MT. Burton. who immediately appealed from the decision. By a vote of Il to 69 and amid Democratic applause the decision of the chair was not sustained
 The paragraph then was returned to and MT. Burton offered an amendment providing that no part of the sum ap- propriated for the Cleveland public building shall be used in the construc- tfon of the exterior or the outer walls of a material other than granite.
 Following prolonged discussion the chair sustained a point of order against the Burton proposition. MT. Burton again appealed from the decision, but pending action on his motion MT. Hemenway moved that the committee rise, but that motion was lost-72 to 200.
 By a vote of s5 to s9 the chair once again was not sustained.
 The Burton amendment finally was adopted 150 to AZ.
 The bill then was reported to the House with a favorable recommenda- tion, but it was not accompanied bv a motion to pass the bill. Instead Mir. Hemenway moved to adjourn which the House refused to do. In announcing the vote Speaker Cannon produced loud laughter by declaring that the noes not only make the most noise. but got the most votes."
 refused MT. Hemenway to make a statement. but later the permission was granted and he simply said as 1t was late and separate votes would be asked on several amendments which had been adopted in committee. the House should adjourn. Mir. Burton and his followers however. forced the yeas and nays on the motion to adjourn. In the midst of the roll call Mir. Hemen- way seeing that he still lacked the necessary supporters, moved to vacate the call and also his motion to adjourn This was agreed to, the action being followed by a motion of Mir. Hemenway to pass the bill. vocifer- ous applause greeted the motion, and the bill was passed without a dissent ing vote.
 At S:57 p. m. the House adjourned until II o'clock tomorrow.
