Mr. Aldrich suggested that, as drawn, the measure had many : objectionable features, but ho thought a resolution would be framed to give the informa tion desired if it should be referred to the committee on finance. Mr. Tillman demanded to know the objections to the resolution, Mr. Aldrich replying that' the chief objection was the provision calling for the names of people making loans. "I think that would he the very worst thing we could do in the present condi tion," said Mr. Aldrich. Mr. Tillman disavowed any special purpose in having the names, and .

Senator Proctor was seventy-seven years old. The senator had been confined to his room for about a week.

Proctor, gov ernor of Vermont, and Redfleld Proctor, Jr., and a daughter, Miss Emily D. Proctor.
