President Hoovers program for relief
OF unemployment forged ahead in Con-
greSs today, when the Senate gave i'm
mediate consideration to the bill ap-
propriating $l10O0O.00O for emergency
construction on public works.
This measure, which passed the House
yesterday, was considered by the Senate
appropriations Committee this morning
and was reported to the Senate when
u met at noon and was taken up for
consideration.
Evidences were at hand, however,
that resentment on the part of some of
the Senators because Of President Hoo
vers charge that certain members of
Congress were at this time "plavine
politics with human misery" was only
smouldering and would break into flame
during the debate later today.
Mcclellan AssaiIs Hoover.
Senator Mcclellan of Tennessee
democrat, interrupted the debate Of the
emergency appropriation bill to assaiI
PRESIDENT Hoover because Of the state
ment which the Chief Executive gave
out yesterday in which he SUGGESTED
snat members of Congress are playine
politics at the expense Of human misery
Inc statement given out by the
ETesloent, Senator Mcclellan told the
senate, "aSsaulttng and denouncinQ the
Senae ana ITS members, is unworthy of
the Cnlef Magistrate of this Nation or
any nation. If he is worthy of his
once he will apologize to the Senate
~ ne Is unworthy he will not apologies

While the Tennessee Senator Was
making this demand, President Hoover's
ADVISERS were Justifying his criticism of
congress on the ground that he must
Ignt nus own battles because none of
L. supporters on Capitol Hill seemed
VIKING 70 defend him or his relief nro-
gram. 1t was even intimated that tha
PRESIDENT would return to the attack il
future developments warranted il The
PRESIDENT and his program have been
subjected TO savage attacks in the SEN
ete during the last two DAYS. Since no
one TOOK up the cudg5ls for him, Mr..
!! decided to try his own hand at
It, 1t was said.
Yesterday the President of the Trn,tad
STATES gave out statement to the news-
papers, aSsaulting each and every rner1.

appropriation Of SIS, 600, 900 to be Used

This assault was unprovoked. unius-

instead OF sending a message to the
senate expressing his disapproval," said
Senator Mcclellan, he takes the llndio-
mined, unconstitutional and angry way
OF running TO the newspapers with his
statement. Of course, I do not know
tnat the President ever read the Con-
etltution, and If he is ignorant of its
Ierns, tnen ne cannot be criticized so
severely"
Senator Mcclellan objected tn. the
suggestion made by the President that
members Of Congress were seeking to
RAD the Treasury at this time. He
The President denounces members
OF the Senate for adding $35 900 600 to
the appropriation recommended for the
farmers of the United States in their
distressed condition. But he is more
gentle and kind when it comes to the

their fortunes out of the war"
When Senator Mcclellan concluded
Senator Bingham of Connecticut, Re-
publican, made brief reply:
1T Is easy to see that the campaign
OF 1892 is now under way" Senator
Bingham declared, commenting on the
speech Of Senator Mcclellan The Con-
nectlcut Senator said the speakers on
the Democratic side of the aisle were

as the stenographers could take it
down.
Senator Bingham said that If It were
not for the fact that to do so would de-
lay important pending business. 1t
would give him pleasure to reply at
length TO the remarks of Senator Nc
Kellar. He said If he were TO under
take such reply he would undoubtedly
be accused Of partisanship, while those
who have spoken on the other side con-
tend they are merely defending the dig
