Greer, ''and we are not In the habit or
being called liars and towards with i'm
punity. Speaking for myself, | will say

demns the newspapers who libel the
members of the Legislature so long AS
they sit idly by and allow Bailey to libel
them with mpunity. | think that the
worst ofrense has already been committed
in the libelling without resentment of the
state of Texas by Senator Bailey, and
see no use of paying any especial atten
ton to the publications in the papers of
william Randolph Hearst"
These remarks were prompted by dis
cussion of the address of Senator Bailey
Wednesday night which was the issue in
the senate today.
The issue was preciptated by = con

Hearst in connection with the special
dispatch which outlined that the Texas

Senator Murray wanted to eliminate
that feature of the resolution which ex-
onerated Bailey.
After further debate in protest of the
remarks of Senator Bailey and the dis
patch mentioned above, the matter under
consideration went over until future
date for final consideration.

an allies made the House ring with their
cheers. There were several roll calls be-
fore the final favorable result was Sc
cured. The vote On the Littaeur substi-

feated, 100 to 159. and the vote to re-
consider the first vote was adopted by

The same is true Of the Atlantic lines.
1t is provided in the bill that all the
vessels proiitnE by this subvention for
carrying mail must have speed of
not less than ssxtcen knots. and il has
'the Hcuse that no slips now ensaged
in the South American trade can make
any such speed.
