ment in the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill increasing
the salary Of the president to S1OO.-
600. Vice-prCsident and speaker Of the

al allowance for carriages and coach,
men for the vice pre- sident and speak
er and increases for the judiciary az.
gregating $328,5OO, precipitated live
ly discussion in the senate. Senator
Borah of Idaho made a point Of order
against these increases on the ground
that they involve general legislation,
which, according to the rule Of the
senate, cannot be placed on an appro-
priation bill in the face of a single
objection. The de bate conferred upon
the first of the amendments objected
to which was TO increase the salary
of the speaker Of the house, and
various criticisms were called forth
against such extensive advance of
salaries, although many senators,
without opposing some increase, in
sisted it should be considered in
separate bill and not on one of the
great supply measures of the govern
ment without concluding the de-
bate. further consideration of the
amendments was postponed until
Monday
Under a resolution offered by Con.
gresham Gaines of Tenne ssee, the |
judiciary committee was directed to
report within 10 days upon the ques-
ton of the right of George L. Lilley,
governor Of Connecticut to retain his
seat as a member of the house. The
subject occasioned a good deal of de-
bate while at times it waxed warm |
The postofice appropriation bill car
rying 1924, 100000, was reported. BY |
unanimous vote the house granted |
the ranking privilege to Mrs Benja,

and, widows of former presidents.

the subject of an extended speech in

ter further by action such as the res
olution proposed.

the belief that all senators realized
that there could be no vote on the

Senator Hopkins, 81 hope
