DEMOCRATS
 IN A CLASH
UNDERWOOD AND JAMES FIX. CHANGE HEATED WORDS DUR
 ING DEBATE.
Democratic Leader Sought to Build Navigation Dam on Black
 Warrior River.

Washington, b. C.. Aug. s.--Dem- ocratic harmony in the house was mo mentarily ruffled today when demo- cratic leader, Underwood, and Rep resentative James of Kentucky, wno have been close friends became in- volvd in heated words in the discus sion of bill providing for the i'm provement of Black Warrior river Tn MT. Underwood's district. Both men withdrew their remarks and the mel dent was amicably closed. The bill provided for the building of a dam to improve navigation on the river. The construction of the dam would create large amount oI water power, the rights to which, under the bill, would be leased for bu years to the Birmingham Ala. Light and over Company. MT. James and others oppsosed sni provision, asert- ing the term of the lease was too long.
 MT. Underwood. declaring he cared nothing about the water power feature of the bill, but was much interested in the navigation feature, said that If the bill were held up, work on the Black Warrior would go ahead as or iginaliy contemplated at an expense of nearly $250,0Oo more than the pro- posed dam would cost.
 MT. James asked if 1t was to argue that unless the house passed the bill giving half century lease to a cor poration without limitation of it's charges to consumers, certain work would be done costing the government $2OO,000 more than if the right were given away.
 My friend from Kentucky" replied MT. Underwood, has just come out of a successful campaign for senator, where play to the galleries has pur- chased votes. but I will say to hism that to claim that one company con trolling one water power is mono poly. is not fair to me-"
 Mir. James Responded that he would have expe7sed "a statement more considerate Of the people of Kentucky, among whom the gentle man tMr. underwood) was porn" Then lMr. Underwood explaining that he spoke under provocatlon. withdrew his remarks. Mir. James withdrew his too.
 The house adjourned without act ing on the bill.

WOOL STILL IN
 A DEADLOCK
UNDERWOOD AND LA PALETTE STILL DISAGREE ON THE Es-
 SENTiAL DETAILS.
Democrats, However, Show Tendency to Meet Demands of La Toilette
 Bill to Get Action.

Washington, Aug S9.--There was much activity today in the interest of an agreement between tho two houses of congress on the difference on the wool bill. resulting in an un- |derstanding that Senator La Toilette and Representative Underwood, con stituting the subcommittee of the full conference committee, will maxe
 an early effort to reacn an sdiiisisi
 ment. Tha close of tho day found
 tho two iegisistors sttll apart on e
 =en4.s! detaiis, but neaxef together
 than heretofore.
 When they were in conference or
 Tuesday, Senator La Toilette gave
 Mir. Underwood to understand nc
 could not possibly get his followers
 to agree to rate of less than 3t
 per cent on raw wool, while Mir. tn
 derwood had told him that 1t woulo
 be necessary to come to 2S per cent If not to 25 to insure the acceptance of the conference report by the house The senate representative under- Etook to make 8 canvas but with little hope of success He had been assur' ed of the support of only eight of the insurgent republicans of the senate for thirty per cent. He could afford to lose only two votes and his in. |vestigation was not reassuring.
 Mir. Underwood was more conrident than his fellow conferee, leading to the conclusion that he might go fur- tner than he yet had manifested a willingness to go. His optimism was due to a change in conditions in the house.
 The democrats of the house have been thoroughly canvassed in the last two days, to determine whether they would support an increase oi the rates in the Underwood bill in order to effect compromise with the insurgent democratic strength oI the senate. It was asserted today by prominent democras that Mir. tn. derwood has found an unexpected strength in favor of meeting the La Toilette forces on the best possible compromise basis possibly prereraDly something below 30 per cent on raw wool. Mir. Underwood said today he said the wool situation would solve itself tomorrow when the committed probably will meet.
 We will either agree or definitely disagree tomorrow" was his asser- ton. He added that if an agreement was reached, two or three days may be necessary to put the conference agreement into the form of a bill te ID presented to the two houses.
