CnILDREN's BILL PASSES.
BORAH MEASURE DESIGNED TO
HELP LITTLE ONES.
Upper House Amends Measure So AS
to Prohibit Officers From Tres
passing OH Privacy.

Washington. Jan. 81. = After
amending the children's bureau bill,
so as to prohibit the invasion Of pri-
vate residences in quest of informa-
ton. the senate passed the measure
today, 54 to 20. The negative votes
were cast by Senators Bailey, Bryan,
Chiffon, Culberson, O'Gorman, Over
man. Paynter, Smith (MarylanO, +,
Stone, Thorton. Tillman and Watson
(Democrsts), and by Burnham,
Clark (Wyo.), Gallinger, Hepburn,
Nixon, Oliver, Wetmore and Works
(Republicans.)
The bill authorizes the creation of
bureau in the department of COM
merce and labor for the collection
of information pertaining to the well
fare Of children and child life. Spe-
cial authority is given TO investigate
questions of infant mortality, juve-
nile courts, desertion. diseases, acci-
dents, occupations. legislation and
kindred subjects.
The provisions expressly forbidding
the invasion of domestic privacy by
agents of the bureau furnished the
principal subject Of contention. The
point was raised by Senator Thorton
of louisiana, who offered an amend
ment prohibiting agents Of the pro-
posed bureau from entering private
dwellings without the consent Of the
occupants. In presenting the modi-
fication Mr.. Thorton spoke in strong
language against the right Of an Of
fetal to enter private homes.
Law or no law, 1t is not going to
be done in my home" he said Wig
orously.
The amendment was lost by the
vote of 80 to AZ. but it was followed
immediately by similar provision
offered by Senator Culberson, which
failed by the close vote Of SO to 81.
This advance in the affirmative vote
encouraged the supporters Of the
amendnneitt, and While Mr.. CuIberson
was framing the provision in differ
ent language, several brief speeches
were made.
In its new form the Culberson
amendment prevailed, Ss to "a. 1t
reads: "No official or agent or rep
resentative of said bureau shall, over
the objection of the head of the fam
ily. enter any house used exclusively
as family residence"

"As to those Democrats who have

square themselves with the eternai
verities now that they learn that Will
