SENATE To TAKE
UP "BABY BILL
Two-Hour Attack is Made on
Maternity Aid Measure by
Missouri Legislator

WASHINGTON, July 81. The
Sheppard baby BILL" providing gov
eminent aid in maternity and infan-
cy cases. is a special order of bust
ness tomorrow for the senate. A
vote, under a unanimous consent
agreement, made two weeks ago, is
to be taken before adjournment, with
passage of the bill conceded.
1t was passed by the last senate
but failed to reach a vote in the
house.
An attack of more than two hours
was made against the bill today by
Senator Reed, Democrat of Missouri,
who decried interference" by feder-
al agents in such delicate, personal
field as maternity and infancy. He
said the legislation was part of a
general scheme thoroughly in accord
with socialistic, bolshevistic plans
adopted in certain parts of Europe
regarding the rearing of children" :

man who has been at the Denver city

July II, today admitted to DR.. j. R.
Jaeger, acting resident physician, that
she was Miss Connie Phillips, of Bos-
ton, Texas. The girl said she was
kidnapped by "a man anc d woman
with red hair" from Denton, Texas.
The young woman admitted she was
Miss Phillips after the physician told
her he had a telegram from Denton
saying she was missing and descrtb-
ing her. After an hour of close ex-
animation the girl told the physician
how she came to Denver from the lit
tie normal school at Denton.
Miss Phillips said a man and wo-
man came to her and asked her to go
to Grayson, Texas, to inspect scnooi
with a view to teaching there this
coming winter.
The girl said she had taught school
and was taking a summer course at
Denton. She accepted the invitation
to go to Grayson, the girl said, and

WASHINGTON, July 81 Reduc-

rates throughout the country gener-
ally were indicated today by high adj
ministration officials as likely to fol-
low soon upon the action of the re-
serve banks of New York, Boston.
Philadelphia and San Francisco, in
bringing their rates down from six
per cent to 5 IL per cent. Belief was
expressed that the readjustment of

reduction to six per cent on those
now SIP per cent and to 51-2 per
cent on those now per cent.
A favorable reaction in the bust

The states chief witness, in base
ball parlance, today hurled excellent
ball, permitting the defense but few

ton. He was forced to change his orr
ginal testimony as to date Or meet
ing with Bennett and occasionally got
twisted on street numbers. But at no
time did he become ruffled under the
fire of the defense and the smile new
er left his face. He joked with his

and matched his wit against theirs in
