field and Chicago riots in the course
of a half hour speech in which he
bitterly denounced the bill.
Southern members singled out
for attack the feature of the bill
which gives the federal government
power to collect a fine of $4,000
from any county or municipality in
which five or more persons form a
mob and take the life of a person
without legal process. Represen
tatiVe Begg, Republican, Ohio, was
the only northern member who
joined in the attack on this proVi-
sion OF the bill.
Illinois congressman were atten-
tive auditors of the debate, but took
no part in the discussion, which
consumed the early part of the
week. Led by Representative Gar
rett, Tennessee, the Democrats cor
roll calls at every parlia-

declared, had been due to other
causes.

SENATE SWAMPED
BY DEMANDS FOR
CHANGES IN TARIFF
Fordney Bill. Having Passed
House by Gag Route, Now
Faces Long Delay.
BY j. BART CAMPBELL,
Interna tional News Service.

The demands of sectional and special
interests for changes In the Fordney
tariff bill as IL passed the House are
pouring in upon the Senate Finance
Committee today. Spokesman for
these interests are arriving In antici
patton of the public hearings on the
bill, which the committee will begin
on Monday.
There are Indications that the tariff
fight will be waged all over again
when the bill is reported to the Sen
ate. The House leaders were able 70
choke off debate and amendments BY
invoking a special rule. The Senate
does not possess such a rule. Cloture
is the only gag rule" the Senate
possesses. A two-thirds vote Is nee
essary to enforce 1t. The House lead
ers can clap on a special rule with q
majority vote.
1t is problematical when the Finance
Committee will be able to report the
bill. Senators favoring the enactment
of tax bill declare they are encour
aged by the prospect of the tariff bill
lingering in committee indefinitely.
Senator Penrose hopes to report 1t In
a month.
With the tariff taxation and the
funding of the foreign debt all press
ing upon the Senate for considera-
ton, there are busy weeks ahead Of
Senators, and their leaders admit they
will be fortunate II they get legisla-
ton embracing all three passed before
the regular session begins in Decern-
Der.
