bate tonight if possible. The Admin

the subject of general debate for
six days, and the reading of the
measure for amendment has not be-
gun.
The more the Democrats talk the
r1ost pronounced becomes the fac
tfonal spirit. If the bill is to be
brought from caucus this week the
general discussion must be closed
soon.

been unusually bitter, and charges and
counter charges had been made re
garding the bill and its effect.
Congressman Ragsdale of South
Carolina, and Donovan of Connecticut,
engaged in a lively setto which came
near being a physical encounter. Mr..
Donovan read Mr.. Ragsdale lecture
for breaking all the caucus rules by
in an otherwise "unseemly' manner,
and Mr. Ragsdale hotlv denied the
right Of the man from the Nutmeg
State to lecture him. advancing belliger-
emily toward Donovan.

Tended the measure. Mr.. Galloway in
timated that the bill had been drawn
by banking interests, and Mr.. Henry
referred significantly to Banker John

Mr.. Glass later Indignantly denied
that any banker had written a line of
the bill, vehemently asserting that 1t
was the joint work of President Will
son, Mr.. McAdoo, and Mr.. Glass and
the committees expert. The committee
expert is DR.. H. Parker Willis.
A rlmor that Tammany lis opposed

but no one was found to stand sponsor
