Has Offending Communication
Stricken From the House
Journal.
TO MAKE INVESTIGATION
STATE FARM AT RAIFORD
House Sustains Several VetOes
of Former Governor
Cats.
(5y JOHN c. TRICE)

TALLAHASSEE, April 1.-THE house
this morning at a two and a half hour
session, accomplished more than at any
other one meeting during the present
session It adopted a concurrent resolu-
ton by Mr.. Corbett, of st. Johns, pro-
viding for the appointment OF joint
committee to investigate the state farm
at Raiford, sustained three of Governor
Cats veto messages, introduced num-
ber of new bills, made the DeSoto five
way division bill a special order for next
Wednesday, and handled a number Of
other matters, reaching all the orders of
the day save bills on second and third
reading.
The opening of the session was enlivi-
ened by Mr.. Rowland of Escambia. He
called attention to a communication in
Yesterdays Journal by one claiming that
a large majority of the people of Escam-
bia county are in favor of the no-fence
law. Mr. Rowland declared he was ac-
quainted with perhaps IS per cent of
the people of Escambia county and he
knew absolutely that the statement was
false. He therefore moved that the Of
tending communication be stricken from
the journal The motion was adopted
without opposition.
A number of communications were read
to the speaker, advocating the
adoption of the budget suggestions of
the board of control
Mr.. Corbett of st. Johns county, of
fered a concurrent resolution providing
for g. Joint committee of the house and
senate to visit and inspect the state
prison farm at Raiford and make report
of their findings to the legislature. OBJ
lection was raised on the ground that a
general investigating committee had al
ready been provided for, nevertheless the
house agreed to waving the rules for
that purpose and adopted the resolution

could see no reason for such haste, and !
moved that the bill be a special order

md the special order was agreed to.
The house then took up the veto mes

passed by the Legislature of 1919 provid-

owned by the state for the use of the

TREATY FIGHT
ON IN SENATE
Payment to Colombia of $685.
e 100000 Advocated as a
Measure of Justice.
lRx The Associated Pressl.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Payment
to Colombia of $25,O0O,00O as provided
in the Colombian treaty was advocated
in the senate today as a measure of
justice and a moral obligation, and at
tackled as without justification. Sena-
tor Pomerene of Ohio, opening the fight
for ratification from the democratic
side declared justice demanded that
Colombia be compensated for the loss
of Panama through a course of events
in which the participation by the Unit
ed States, he asserted, could not be
defended either in the sight of God
or of man."
Ratification of the pact was urged
by Senator Knock, republican, Penn
sylvania, on the other hand because
the United States was morally bound
to compensate Colombia not for what
she lost but for what we gained.
Taking issue with Senator Pomerene,
the Pennsylvania senator asserted that
the course of the United States in the
events attending the revolt of Panama
squared to our rights and duties and
to the governing rules and principles
of international law"
Declaring ratification of the pact
would put "the brand of shame" on
Theodore Roosevelt, Senator Borah,
republican, Idaho, in concluding the
debate for the day, declared the NOV
ing force behind Panama's revolt from
Colombia was not Theodore Roosevelt,
John Hay or the United States gov
ernment but the people of Panama,
who" he said, despite a Colombian
dictatorship. were striving to exercise
the independence they declared in
1851"
Discussion of the pact on the repub-
lican side of the senate, Senator Borah
said. had shown IAN almost complete
difference of opinion" as to the reasons
for ratification. ut is difficult for me
to understand how we can purchase
the friendship of any nation" Sena- |
tor Borah continued in referring to |
the argument advanced that ratifica- |
ton of the treaty would bring about
cordial relations between the United |
States and Colombia.
such action would be an insult to |
any self-respecting nation"
Mr.. Borah suggested if the United |
States was seeking to obtain Colon
bias friendship through the $4,000 900 |
payment, that be expressly written into

Defending the course pursued by the

bill, which includes anti-dumping and
foreign exchange provisions. The de-
bate will be continued tomorrow but a
vote is expected by supporters before

For five and half hours the debate
proceeded today and was marked by
dramatic contribution on the part of
Bourke Cochran, democrat, New York,
a veteran of other years who is again
in congress. Asserting that danger
lies ahead In a policy of attempting
to cure all the country's ills by legis-
lation, Mr.. Cochran predicted long
lines of famishing men and women in
front of soup houses ere present con-
ditions pass"
II apprehend, Mr.. Cochran said.
that when those lines do form, as
they surely will, they will not stand
in silent submission as they have done
before. l apprehend something more
menacing, more dangerous to civiliza-
tion. to our government and to us.
