naval monument in the Vicksburg ma
tional military park, which caused
vigorius debate at the recent extra
session Of congress. was renewed in
the senate today. Senator Williams
Of Mississippi. its author. urged ac-
ton. Senator Hepburn of Idaho vig-
orously opposed it, and in the end his
objection postponed action for the
day.
Senator Williams said that the
monument had been suggested by the
chairman of the vicksbug commits
sion. a federal soldier. Senator Hey
hurn retorted that he would have no
legislation that would revive the Bit

grave?" he asked. It was not fair
he said. to tax the entire country to
unite in such an undertaking as the
erection OF monument to confeder-
ate soldiers.
Mr.. Williams pleaded for a vote.
He declared 1t to be an arrogant as
sumption" that only the people Of the
north were interested in guarding the
