.CONFEREES SPLIT
OVER $3.50 BILL
House and Senate Tilt Ends in
No Action on D. c.
Appropriations.

A split between the House and Sem
ate conferees on the District appro-
priation bill came today.
The Senate conferees were adamant
in their insistence that the half-and'
half plan be restored to the bill. The
House conferees were equally vigor-
Gus in their Insistence that II should
be stricken out.
The contest opened almost as soon
as the cOuferees got together.
The Senate conferees moved that
the consideration OF the fiscal sections
OF the bill be waived and the other
provision taken up. This the House
conferees refused to do. They were
upon an immediate debate
over the hRlf-and-half plan. They
refused 10 bulge AN inch. The Senate
of whom Senator Curtis Is
were somewhat surprised
at the deadlock that had developed.
and tried TO smooth IL over.
They proposed that in view Of the
apparent impossibility Of getting to-
gether. a report be made Immediately
to the House and Senate with the
that new conferees
be appointed.
The House conferees negatived this
proposition saying that they were en-
tirely competent TO represent the
wishes OF the House.
The Senate conferees then said
their farewell" to their friends from
the House and adjourned the meet
ing.
In parting they told the House con-
ferees that they would make no fur
ther move to get together or to hold
another meeting; that the proposal
must come from the House.
