Washington, April 27.-Mr. Speoner

beginning he announced his purpose of
devoting himself largely to Mr..
Bailey's amendment prohibiting in.

'.The question is very grave one"
he said. "If adopted it would almost
destroy the rate fixing provision of
this bill" He went on to say that the
proposition was the most important
question that had been presented to
the senate in recent years-far greater
than even the rate fixing question it.
self. He quoted Mr.. Bailey's declara,
tion that "the power to create involves
the power to destroy" and said that
when applied to the couYs this axiom
was full of danger He denied that
except in limited degree congress had
power to destroy the courts. He con-
ceded that jurisdiction may be con-
ferred and withdrawn, but contended
that such power may not be extended
to the judicial power of court in a
given case.
He then entered upon an effort to
draW.nthe line of distinction between
jurisdiction and judicial power and
said That Mr.. Bailey's necessities must
havesheen responsible for his sneers at
this distin The difference, he
declared !, ,thad been understood by the
trainers of the Constitution and by the
text writers since Blackstone and had
been outlined by many court decisions.

Constitution and no aophistry can con-
fuse it, he said. -.

thing; while Jurisdiction may be dis
tributed," he went on, contending that
In the Constitution the word ''jurisdic-
tion" had been used so as to make it

used as applicable to the power of the

ing was the general outcome OF the

out OF it and direct liquidation was
traceable TO the account Of the fire
insurance companies, which are driven
to. provide means for meeting the
heavy losses. The sharp decline in
prices OF the last few days has had
the result OF reducing margins, in
some cases wiping them out. The
forced character of the selling was
easily perceptible and the bears helped
the decline and took advantage OF
the necessities .of those who were
