SENATORS IN DEBATE
ON TEXTILE MILLS
Day Filled With Speeches, and
GaIIinger Answers Hollis
Attack.

This was a day Of tariff speeches in
the Senate. Senators Gallinger, Hollis.
and Thompson occupied the time until
we'll into the afternoon. Senator Hollis
not long ago declared the New Eng
land textile mills did not need protec-
ton. He assailed conditions in the
mills in severe terms. Senator GAL
Iinger today came to the defense of
the mills Of New England.
Senator Gallinger took up the argu-
ments that the death rate is high in
the New England mill country. and
conditions in the mills unsanitary.
He was led in this connection to
compare the death rate in the Dis
trict Of Columbia. He said:
''It IL Of interest in this connection to
note the fact that in the calendar year
1872 the death rate in the District was
l41s per 1000 for whites and 2Sss per
1000 for the colored population. The
general death rate in the District for
the year 1919 was lib, as against l6 in
tho much advertised textile city OF Law
renee, Mass. The abnormal death rate for
the colored people OF the District. doubt
less largely due to insanitary and other
similar conditions. might well engage
the attention of the committee OF which
my colleague is a member, with a view
20 correcting conditions In the Capital
OF the Nation. which would seem to be
as imperative as TO correct conditions
In the textile cities of the country. Ef-
forts have been made along this line
from time tc time, but Notwithstanding
much progress has been made through
legislation and otherwise there still
remains a great deal to be done to
bring about ideal conditions. Again,
why was not the fact stated that In
Southern textile mills, where goods are
made IN competition with he mills of
New England. the hours of labor are
much longer and children are employed
at a less age than Is required by law
In the New England States? why not
be fair7''
Senator Hollis renewed his charges
against the New England mills. attack
ing the methods OF the textile indus
tries toward their employees
Senator Thompson OF Kansas, in his
maiden speech, defended the Adminis-
tration tariff bill Senator Root fol-
lowed with q speech on the income tax
He sought TO show how the tax would
fall with respect to various sections OF
the country.

Hetch- -Hetchy Bill
Debate Continues

The House today entered upon its
third day of debate on the Hetch-Hetchy
bill. which incidentally involves conser-
walton and consequently means converse
ton. The bill, reported by the Public
Lands Committee, is for the relief of the
water supply of San Francisco, and
would authorize the conveyance Of wager
from the Yosemite valley across the pub
lie domain to the California city.
The contemplated far-distanced water
supply will cost San Francisco millions
Of dollars, in the event the Federal Gov
ernment valves the conservation issue.
Congressman William J. Macdonald,
the Bull Moose member from Michigan
who recently won his contest for the seat
Of Congressman II. Olin Young, resigned,
made his maiden speech during the de-
bate. Progressive Leader Victor Muir
dock sat by the Progressive recruit and
lent his moral support.

has ragained her composure, after an
attack of Mysteries at the funeral of her

main witnesses, but the State has sum-

Fisher was brought to court shortly
after the arrival of the Tomen, and
he showed only slight signs of nervous

.ARMY-NAVY GAME
CONFERENCE IS SET
Daniels and Breckenridge to
Confer With Athletes on
Football Contest.

Directors Of the athletic associations
of west Point and the Naval Academy
will hold a conference at 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning with Secretary of the
Navy Daniels and Acting Secretary of
War Breckenridge to consider the hold
ing of the annual Arrny-Navy football
game.
Both Mr. Daniels and Mr.. Breckenridge
are determined that the athletic associa-
tions shall smooth out their differences
regarding the place for holding the con-
test and have the game.
The hitch In the plans for the event
came when West Point demanded that
II should be held for q change at New
York instead OF Philadeiphia, and that
the date should be earlier than usual.
For years the game has been held on
Franklin Field, the grounds of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. about Thanks
giving.
The Army, which has been losing the
game regularly in recent years, contend
first that the holding Of the game at
Philadelphia requires the West Point
team to travel further than the MILDLY
aggregation. II also contends that the
game should be held earlier for the rea-
son that the Army season starts earlier
than that Of the Navy. and that by the
time Thanksgiving rolls around the West
Point eleven is stale" Finally. the
Army has contended for New York on
the ground that seating capacity to the
extent of SO, 900 can be obtained at the
Polo Grounds there, whereas Franklia
Field accommodate but $4,000.
Acting Secretary Breckenridge is q
strong supporter Of Washington as the
proper place TO hold the games on the
ground that they are national events
which should be held at the Nations
Capital, where there are more Army and
Navy officers than there are at any 9TH
er city. 1t Is known that quiet inquiries
have been made along the same line by
high officials in the Navy Department
II is probable therefore that, by another
year provided Washington N willing to
erect an adequate stadium that both
the Army and Navy would be glad to
play here.

DR.. Hale Is Expected
To Return Here Soon

Although 1t has been denied at the
white House that any conference has
been arranged in advance between
president Wilson and DR.. william Bay

That he will have an interview with the
