washington, May 2.-On a point Of
order by senator Culberson, the SEN
ate today killed the committee. amend
ment to the diplomatic and consular
bill approrriating 100000 for an en-
bassy building at Paris.
Hale, in explaining the provision ap-
propriating for an embassy building
at Paris, eaid the committee on for
eign affair, had looked into the sub
ject thoroughly and had recommended
1t. Asked by Overman why Berlin,
London ard other European capitals
are not included in the bill, Hale said
that the appropriation for Paris rep
resented a departure, and was the be-
ginning Of new policy by the gov
ernment, of providing legation and en-
resentatives. Hale declared that $780,
resentatives. Hale declares that $780,
900 was not Q large sum when the
properties Of other governments
in Paris ART, considered. The idea was,
he said, to enable men of modest
means to accept the position of am
bassador.
Does the senator think poor man
can live in a 100000 house in Paris?"
Overman inquired.
s.He can live better" replied Hale,
.sif he has house furnished him."
In the opinion Of Overman, a less
expensive establishment would prevent
Americas diplomat representatives
putting on SO many airs" Hale ad-i
nlitted that. it was the intention to
follow up the matter each year by ap-
preparations for other capitals, one at
= time.

have no purpose in trying to force any
measure upon the party which is not

are hopeful that a second Vreland bill
will receive approval, but there will be
an effort to confine legislation to the
appointment OF commission, which
may be the outcome OF the confer
ence. Soon after the financial caucus,
another conference will be held to

for the modification Of the antitrust
law and regulation and Issuance OF in

that something may be accomplished
