House Row Is Begun
By Legacy to Library

"A bill to transfer to. the Treasury
Department from a Washington bank a
10000 bequest from the late Mrs. Cert
rude M. Hubbard, donated to the L.
brary Of Congress, caused a wrangle on
the floor of the House yesterday after
noon, and Congressman Underwood final
ly moved to adjourn to end the row. The
authors Of the bill. however, obtained
q roll call on the motion to adjourn.
The opposition to the bill was caused
BY the nature of the legacy, which had
asstrtng tied to 1t, according to some of
its opponents. This was to the effect
that after transferring the fund to the
Treasury the Government should APP
propriate each year $500 as interest,
which should be credited to the Library
The principle involved was mainly one
OF bookkeeping, but the House wasted
two hours time in discussing the Hub
bard bequest.
