House Shows Democrats at
Odds on Question.

Following the speech in favor of Philip
pine independence by Representative
Jones of Virginia in the House yesterday
afternoon Representative Sherley of Ken
lucky made reply which clearly shows
the difference of opinion among demo-
Gratis the subject. Representative
Murray of Massachusetts also made a
sharp reply, charging Representative
Jones with having "slandered Cameron
Forbes and debased President Taft"
Mr.. Jones denied these charges, but in
sisted the administration of affairs in the
islands had violated at least the spirit OF
the laws governing the Philippines.
The fight that ensued over Representa-
tive Jones speech brought on the fact
that an investigation of Philippine affairs
had recently been discussed by the House
committee on insular affairs, but no ac-
ton taken.
