Senate Refuses to Shave Rivers and Harbors Item Amendments to Reduce Ap propriation in Army Bill Tabled—Agreement to Limit Debate. Washington, Feb. 8.—The senate today aligned itself with the house in deciding to overrule the budget bu reau'* recommendation as to expend!* tures for work on rivers and harbors. By a vote of 46 to 35, the senate j tabled an amendment to the annual army appropriation which would hav« reduced the waterways Item from $56, 650.000, as passed by the house, to 327.000. 000, the figure set by the bureau in one case, and to $42,000,000 in another. A final effort by Senator Wadsworth, republican, New York, to cut the item to $50,000,000 was defeat ed. 38 to 14. Th* vote on the waterways pro vision came after the senate had de voted practically three days to Its consideration, and it was expected to clear the way for early action on the army bill itself. To Limit Debate. Mr. Wadsworth, who has charge of the measure on the floor, obtained an agreement for limitation of debate after Friday, to 10 minutes for each senator on any one amendment. It was thought probable that a final vote would be reached before adjourn ment, leaving the British debt fund ing question and the shipping bill as the principal unfinished business. Senator Underwood, democrat. Ala bama. who offered the motion to table amendments to the warterway* ap propriation, declared most of the criti cism against specific items was based on no better ground than '.hat the items were small and the commerce affected unimportant in size. "I maintain,” he said, "that the peo pie of a small fishing village have the same right to government aid in get ting their produce to market as have the people of New York. The only difference is that in the case of the village the cost might be $2,000 and in the other instance $50,000,000. I move to table these amendments so that the issue may be clear cut.” Caraway Renews Charge. Senator Caraway, democrat, Arkan sas, renewed his charge that “local statesmanship” was behind the oppo sition and declared opponents were without foresight. Senator Heflin, democrat, Alabama, compared the total cost of all the projects with pal aces built for federal reserve banks, which he said had been approved by most senators “without batting an eye." The majority of senators voting to approve the house figure of $56,580,000 for the river and harbor fund, defeat ing proposals by Senators Borah, re publican, Idaho, and I^enroot, repub lican, Wisconsin, to reduce it to $27,000,000 and $42,000,000, respec tively, were democrats, 26 voting with 20 republicans to table the reduction motions. Twenty-nine republicans were joined by six democrats in favor of reduction. On the motion of Sen ator Wadsworth to cut the fund to $50,000,000, eight democrats and 30 re publicans lined up against 24 demo crats, and 20 republicans supporting the larger appropriation.
