savings Ddnk DlllWaS adopted by the
senate, 46 ayes. 81 noes.
Washington, March 5.-As soon as
the senate convened today it was ap-
parent the administration forces on the
postal savings bank bill had the stu
alton we'll in hand. Without prelimi-
naries of any character the roll was
called Immediately upon the Cummins
amendment to the Smoot amendment,
and it was defeated, 1S to 40. This
amendment would have confined to
times of war the investment Of
postal funds in government securities,
and it was charged by Senator Garter
and other supporters of the administra-
tion bill that it's adoption would have
defeated the measure.
The Smoot amendment, which was
next in order. would permit the in
vestment of postal funds in govern
ment securities in time of war and 9TH
er exigencies, at the discretion of the
president, whenever the governments
credit was involved.
Two Per Cent Securities Barred.
AS soon as the defeat of the Cum
Minis amendment was announced, Bor-
ah offered another amendment to the
Smoot amendment making such invest
ments apply only to bonds which bear
at least 2A per cent interest. Smoot
suggested that this should read yield
ing' at least 2A per cent. Carter was
willing to accept this suggestion, but
Borah would not, and the vote was
had on his amendment. It was carried,
40 to II. This will make 1t impossible
to use postal funds to buy government
2 per cent securities, of which there
are $3.50. 100000 in existence.
Middle West Supports cummins.
Nearly all the eighteen senators who
voted for the Cummins amendment
come from middle western states. They
were Beveridge, Borah, Brown. Bur-
kett, Clapp, Crawford, Cummins, Dixon.
Dolliver, Gamble, La Foleltte and Nc
Cumber repubhccans; and Chamber
lain, Clark Of Arkansas, Owen, Shively,
Stone and Taliaferro, democrats.
Insurgents Gain Point.
AS amended, the Smoot provision is
a compromise of the opposing views Of
senators who believed some means of
permitting the investment of postal
sary to make the bill constitutional, but
it does not satisfy entirely those sena-
tors who have contended for provisions
to keep the postal deposits in commun-
tiles where collected. The vote by
which the Smoot amendment as
amended by the Borah provision was
adopted was 46 ayes and "a noes. This
negative vote was cast largely by
democrats, but they were joined by
Bourne. La Toilette and McCumber.
McEnery was the only democrat vot-
ing with the republicans for the pro-
vision Beveridge led the "insurgent"
vote in favor of the amendment and
was followed by a majority Of his CO.
workers.
Banks to Get Deposits.
Gallinger offered an amendment
which was adopted. It enables the trus-
tees of the postal savings bank to
place postal deposits with national,
state and savings banks and trust
companies doing banking business.
Final Vote Near.
The postal bank bill passed from
the committee of the whole to the sem
ate late this afternoon.

before we got at them, aitho they were
living when we reached the spot.
