PosToFFIcE BILL PASSED
BY Senate After Stormy Debate-Two
Angry Senators.


Washington, Feb. 1S.-The postoffice
bill, carrying appropriations of over
S232,000,000, was passed by the senate
today after a stormy debate. during
which Senator Penrose, in. charge Of
the measure, made an angry attack
upon Senator La Toilette, who had en-
tered upon a general criticism of SEN
ate committees because Of what he
termed their unwarranted delay in re-
porting great appropriation bills.
Mr.. La F'ollotte chided the sea tie
with permitting a gIut of important
legislation to be disposed of in haste
during the last days of congress, and
suggested that it would be no calamity
if all of these bills were not acted upon
in the regular session, that a reorgan-
ization Of committees would allow the
special session to consider and other
important legislation.
Responding in angry tones, Mr.. Pen
rose charged the senator from Wis
consin with having failed to attend
meetings OF committees Of which he
was member, finally declaring that
his criticism sounded more like the
arguments made by a vendor of a
patent medicine from the tail door of a
cart in a village of wisconsin" than
those of a senator OF the United States
