60 To IL. Many Democrats voted
with most OF the Republicans for the

the insurgent Republicans
The senate today Will orter up-
Oh the administrative features OF the
tariff bill. probably taking up the
maximum and minimum rate provis-

The FIRST vote was upon the mo-

lay on the table with successful re-
sLlt.
The first provided for an exemp-
ton OF educational, charitable and
religious institutions, against which
Nj. Aldrlch mado his first point of
order. Because he did so he fell into
sharp clash with It's author. The
effect OF the point OF order was to
cut on debate, but Mr.. Aldrich
Glanced TO drop the remark that he
would allow" Mr.. Bacon to pro-
cecd The form OF the expression
seemed TO incense the Georgian sen-
atOr. and he retorted sharply to the
erect that he was mot surprised
that Mr. Aldrlch should assume such
a manner because he had been die
tating 10 the senate so lols that no
was accustomed to use language OF
that kind
when the amendment was laid
on the table, ~ to 80, the Georgian
senator Immediately presented an
other amendment requiring the taxa
tion OF bonds which was rejected Al
