SENATE STAGES
NEAR RIOT IN
BONUS DEBATE
Watson Is Inuited by
McCur,1ber to Come
Outside.'

Washington, July 16.-(United
Press .)-President Harding today
had as part of the record of his ad-
ministration victory over his foes
and critics in the senate over the
soldier bonus bill, but not within
the memory of the oldest senators
wa sa victory attended with such
scenes of riotous disorder.
While administration leaders
were preparing today to put into
effect the remainder of the Harding
program, by getting the decks
cleared as rapidly as possible for a
recess, the rank and file of the SEN
ate was abuZZ with discussion of
the scenes which late yesterday
measure.
The senate had shelved the bonus
bill and there wa sthen no business
before it.
Senator McCumber, North Da-
kota, sponsor of the bill, took the
floor to deliver a funeral oration"
over the bill. Robinson, Arkansas,
and Reed, Missouri, protested
against Vice President Coolidge's
recognition of McCumber who was
speaking, they said, on a subject
not before the senate Robinson
moved to go into legislative session.
Coolidge held him out of order.
Coolidge stood pat, holding NC
Cumber had right to the floor.
The anger senators had been distill-
ing over the bonus bill spilled Tom
Watson of Georgia rushed to the
middle aisle, screaming something
at McCumber in his shrill voice:
Louder cried Ashurst, Arizona.
All Talk at Once.
McCumber talked, Robinson talk
ed, Reed talked and Watson, going
back to his seat, made a megaphone
of his hands and shouted to Nc
Cumber TO sit down"
Il have the floor" said McCum-
ber.
That's all you have got" yelled
Tom Watson
Coolidge sat still and Kept quiet
through it all. Robinson appealed
from the chairs decision that Nc
Cumber had the floor. McCumber
said he'd discuss the appeal and
held the floor. He then went ahead
and made the speech he had intend
to to make. Then Robinson started
in again He denounced the vice
president, Republican senators en-
masse and McCumber in particular.
Reed objected to something McCum-
Der said, and McCumber twice in
vited him to come outside" The
galleries roared with laughter and
applause.
Record Is SBlue Penciled-.
Washington, July ia blue
penciled congressional record ap-
peared today with it's account Of
the personal clash yesterday in the
senate over recommittal of the
soldiers bonus bill heavily censor
ed. Comparative peace and calm
in the record, as well as the capitol
atmosphere, succeeded the storm
which then ragged within and with
out the chamber.
Expunged from official history
were most of the tempestuous ex-
changes between Senators McCum-
Der, Republican of North Dakota,
and Reed, Democrat of Missouri.
The record was silent on Mr.. NC
Cumber's invitation to settle diff
ferences outside. Also lost 10

marks about "blackguards" it be-
ing understood that the stenogra-
piers ringside report had been
blue penciled by the principals
themselves in the interest of senate
decorum.

ROAD DEPARTMENT
HAS MONEY FOR THIS
YEAR, SAYS B0GGS
State Highway Department VIII Fave
Enough Money Available
For All Of the 1921
Projects.

Frankfort KY, February /. - With
T11S,573.53, exclusive Of mainte-
nance for the state highway system
and state aid debts available for road
building this year, Joe s. ,Boggs, State
Highway Engineer, is of the opinion
that the department is sufficiently
financed to carry through until the
regular legislative session of 1922 can
submit road bond issue to popular
vote or provide permanent road fund
by some other means.
In fact, Mr.. Boggs said the state
has all the money it could we'll spend
on roads this year il there was a bond
issue Of $6O,OOO,OOO Immediately avail
able.
Realization that the department
temporarily is in funds came with the
information that all Federal aid ap-
portioned up to June 30, 1922, is avail
able at any time, although the stare is
not u Ter compulsion to accept it I'M
til tn; date.
Dec citing from the state road funds
of SO, 10000 the 100000 necessary to
maintain the mileage already accepted
as part Of the states highway system
and $4,000 set apart annually to IL
quidate the debt due counties for
money advances for state aid, the de-
partment will have $2.1OO,OOO of its
own for construction.
AS 3O2 miles of work started last
year is yet to be completed, and as
considerable construction put under
contract this year will run over into
the summer of 1922 with such work as
will naturally be commenced that
year, there will not be any serious
dimnution Of operations until funds
provided by the 1922 General Assem-
bly, are available.
