OBSTACLES FOUND
IN AMENDMENTS
Scrate Kills Time. by Taking Up Cor
rupt Practices Bill, With Little Pros
pect of Passage at This Session
Severe Penalties Attached For Vio-
lation of. Terms-Aimed to Regulate
Campaign Expenditures.


The conferees found some obstacles
which it is hoped will be smoothed ont
tomorrow. The senate having nothing
else to do, took UP the owen corrupt
practices bill, but democratic leaders
said it had no chance of passage and
would be put aside whenever adjourn-
ment could be secured.
Washington, Sept 6.-The senate
today decided by vote of 80 to IA to
take up Senator Owens corrupt prac-
tices bill, which would greatly curtail
campaign expenditures and impose
heavy penalties for violations of its
terms
Seven republicans voted with demo-
Gratis to take up the bill and seven
democrats voted against it. There has
been lively fight against the bill,
during which there have been charges
and recriminations from both SIDES.
The vote to take it up today does not
necessarily forecast delay in adjourn-
ment of congress. The senate took It
up. as it had nothing else before it.
Republican leaders insisted they would
never let it reach VOTE
1t was planned to adopt a concurrent
resolution fixing the time for adjourn
ment as soon as the revenue confer
ees can reach a time when they
will meet and agree. Such resolu-
tion would check any attempted fill
buster on the corrupt practices Dill
and end debate.
The bill was called up on Hiotion.rby
Democratic Leader skitchin to send It
to conference. Republicans Leader
Mann wanted time to read it and Mr.
Kitchin temporarily withdrew the
motion. With Representatives Rafney,
Of Illinois and Dixon. of Indiana, rank
ing democratic members, he went over
to the senate for an informal confer
ence on the bill.
Encounter Obstacles.
At the outset the conferees en-
countered several obstacles which
made it inproba BILE that final action
can be taken before tomorrow.
House conferees insist on the tax
on refined copper and the original
munition tax in place Of the senate
substitute Another obstacle is the
provision for a permanent tariff COM
mission. The house merely offered an
appropriation after 1917. but the senate
made it mandatory.
Representative Fitzgerald, chairman
of the appropriation committee, seek
ing assurances that the permanent ap'
propriation for future years be
dropped. said today he would not per-
nit a report in the house on the gen
eral deficiency bill until that was
agreed to.
