Washington, Aug. 21.-IhC llSt
clash of the session between sO-Called
old line and progressive republicans
occurred in the senate today during
debate on the emergency revenue bill
Senator Gallmger, the minority lead
rr criticized progressive republicans
for the overthrow of former Speaker
Cannon and attack on the late Sen
atOr AldriCh, drawing a vigorous re-
ply from Senator Grouna.
Senator Gallingor declared that Ger
tain republicans who had sown seeds
of discomfort over the Dingley tariff
chose former Speaker Cannon as the
"iouah" ON whom to heap the burden
of Elame, and that they preached the
false theory that the high cost of llv-
ing was due to the Dnglcy tariff
senator GrOnnd insisted that the tar
ilf had nothing whatever to do with
the overthrow OF Cannon and that he
was attacked only to end an era of
autOcratiC domination of the house.
He also hotly denounced differences

JAP EXCLUSION ISSUE
STARTS SENATE RUMPUS.
Heated Debate in Executive Session
Precipitated by Works.

The Senate was thrown into violent
debate yesterday afternoon over the jap
anese immigration problem when the I'M
migration literacy test bill was brought
forward to side track the bill to make

peared no nearer a vote than before.
Senator Reed, Of Missouri, just before
adjournment, declared the bill would sx-
clude great numbers of Russian Jews in
the Mongolian exclusion zone described
in the bill. He urged redrafting the bill
In frank and unmistakabie language.
Senator Reeds declaration drew a
sharp retort from Senator Smith, OF
South Carolina, chairman Of the immi-
grafton committee.
mo one shall charge the committee or
me with insidiously discriminating
against the jews" he declared.
The debate was precipitated when Sem
ator Works, Of California, gave notice he
would insist on separate vote on the
committee amendment striking out the
section writing into law the Root Taxa
hira gentlemen's agreement" restricting
japanese immigration.
This measure is proposed in the inter-
est Of Japan" said Senator Works. 1T
gives Japan absolute right to say who Of
her citizens shall enter this country We
are absolutely at the mercy of Japan"
Senator Lodge. Of Massachusetts,, de-
clares the amendment extremely awk-
ward"
Senator Vardaman, of Mississippi, de-
clared himself for any measures designed
to prevent amalgamation of races.
The immigration bill will be debated
again tomorrow.
