WASHINGTON, August 4 Carry
ing an aggregate appropriation of
$1,100,000 or $666,000 more than as
originally reported, the conference re
port on the urgent defliclency appro
priation bill was adopted by the house
today. Bitter opposition was directed
against the provisions of the bill re
specting the establishment of a cus
toma court and providing for the pur
chase of automobiles for the vice
president and the speaker, but all at
tempts to send the report back to the
conferees for amendment were de
feated. The bill as passed made no
provision for the payment of salaries
of Judges and officers of the court.
Objections from Mr. Macon, of Ar
kansas, forced the house to tako a re
cess Immediately after convening to
day In order to enable the committee
on rules to bring in a special order to
enable It to consider the conference
report on the urgent efficiency hill.
Incensed at this turn of affairs, Mr.
Hughes, of West Virginia, declared
that the business of the house should
not be delayed but ("simply to humor
some whim of Mr. Macon's."
"I don't appreciate any such gratui

obdurate than ever.

But Most of Them Will At

(By Associated Iress.)
WASHINGTON, August 4 Small
interest was shown in the tariff de
bale In tile senate today but a night
session was necessary to allow "pro
gressive" senutors an opportunity to
express their views on the tariff bill.
Most of the speeches during the
(lay were heard by only a handful of
senators, while the galleries hacKljut
a sprinkling of visitors.
Interest now seems to center on
tho voto on the conference report,
which will be taken at p. m., to
morrow. Conferences among sena
tors were numerous. Several times
Vice-President Sherman found it nec
essary to call the body to order and
to Insist that conversation be discon
tinued. Effect of Hie Terms.
The effect of the maximum and
minimum provision of the measure,
as agreed upon by the conferees, was
the chief subject of discussion during
the afternoon. Senator Heverldge un
dertook to show that Senator Aldrlch
interpreted the languoge us reported
by the conferees as practically guar
anteeing all the results that could be
obtained through the instrumentality
ot a tariff commission. Si-nutor Hale
argued that exactly the opposite pur
pose was In the minds of the house
conferees whoso views had been
adopted. Ho Insisted that they care
fully avoided "giving any authority to
the president by which be cnuld gath

vision of the tariff could be based. '

Aldrlch reported a concurrent resolu
