SOUGHT IN SENATE
Overwhelming Victory Scored
by Roosevelt Bill In House
Saturday

Washington. Jan. 22.-tR)-A drive
within the closely divided senate
banking committee to alter President
Roosevelt's revaluation bill was dis
closed Monday, despite pleas from the
administration that the measure be
enacted unchanged.
Hair-line committee votes on a pro-
posal to limit operation Of the $2,000,-
0oo. 1000 sterilization fund proposed In
the measure to March 1, 1885, were
suthoritatively forecast. An effort
uill be made In the committee also
to limit the powers Of the big fund.
Senate Democratic leaders conceded
shere would be many fights on pro-
posed amendments when the measure
reaches the senate floor, but asserted
they had sufficient votes to shoot the
measure through. Few foresaw, how
ever, quite such q topheavy final vote
as when the house passed the bill un-
changed by 800 to 20 late Saturday.
Senate silver reconciliation ad-
vocates reported Sunday night they
had evolved compromise silver plan
and would offer It as an amendment
to the revaluation measure. The silver
bloc enjoys considerable strength.

that home owners, farmers and debt

He expressed his views while Presi-

Indications grew that an effort
would be made to attach silver legis-

passed Saturday by the house.
