WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The house de-
voted itself today to general debate on the
legislative appropriation bill. First there
was discussed the question OF eliminating
aged clerks from the employ OF the gov
eminent; then came a discussion OF free
alcohol for the arts, the restriction OF Jap
anese immigration and finally defense OF
New York City.
Mr.. Littauer Of New York and Mr.. Liv-
insston OF Georgia, representing the re-
publican and democratic views. eoncurred
on the question that something must be
done In the way Of recognizing the gov
eminent service. Mr. Marshall OF North
Dakota gave his voice to the proposition
for free alcohol. Mr.. Hayes OF California
spoke IN behalf of restricting japanese and
Corean immigration and Mr.. Bennett OF
New York defended his city in relation TO
the class OF foreigners who make New York
their home.
