MOVE TO ‘GAG’ DEBATE CAUSED BY HUEY LONG Revisions, Spurned When Dawes Urged Them, Are Considered. (Continued From Page One) faction, which numbers about twenty members, Minority Leader Joseph T. Robinson (Dem., Ark.) and others have proposed fundamental amendments. Doubt Cloture Success Mr. Robinson introduced a resolution that cloture be enforced by a majority instead of a two-thirds vote. Senator Daniel Hastings <Dem., Del.) would bar senators from speaking more than twice in any one day. Senator Millard Tydings <Dem., Mo.i would apply the two-hour limitation to any measure that comes up during the present session. All these proposals look toward making impossible a successful filibuster. Although twenty-nine Democrats' signed the Robinson cloture petition, with eighteen abstaining, it hardly is believed it can pass. Majority Leader James E. Watson says he can deliver only twentyone Republicans, and this will not make the necessary two-thirds. The cloture resolution. which permits each senator to speak only an hour before a vote, can not be voted on until Thursday. Roosevelt to Get Problem Democratic leaders are more concerned for the future than for the Glass bill, which probably will be displayed if cloture is beaten. What they fear is the weapons that unlimited debate places in the hands of the fiery "Kingfish” after Pres-ident-elect Roosevelt takes office. The problem of the Louisiana senator, and "what to do about it,” will be submitted to Mr. Roosevelt when he arrives here Thursday on his way south. It is the system of unlimited debate which permits a comparative youngster to stand the oldsters on their heads, and block a vote on all legislation. Although the Glass banking bill is the unfinished business, it cannot be voted on so long as a single senator wants to discuss it. Can’t Wear ‘Em Out The only parliamentary methods of setting a definite time to vote is by unanimous agreement, by a majority vote, or by cloture, which now is being tried. The gag rule rarely is applied because of natural objections, even by men who favor the measure for which it is invoked. Progressives oppose the gag rule sos fear general use may mean it will be leveled against them more often than in the past. Os six attempts to apply cloture within eleven days in February, 1927, only one succeeded. The only other way to smash a filibuster it to wear out the men composing it, and that seems impossible in this case. Senator Long, (hough fidgety and haggard at the end of each day’s performance, returns fresh and cocky next morning. When he tries, such vocal and indefatigable youngsters as Senators Elmer Thorru s <Dem., Okla.) and Burton K. Wheeler (Dem., Mont.) are ready to carry on. Ties Up Important Bills Many tricks are open to them. They can, as they have done, read books and newspaper clippings, delay matters by insisting on numerous quorum calls, interview one another on the floor, permit other bills to be taken up, and spell each other with oratory. This they have done, while angry Democrats have sat red-faced and resentful. Among important, measures they have tied up are the beer bill, the treasury appropriation, giving Mr. Roosevelt the right to organize the government in his own way, and numerous other proposals. Long opposes the Glass bill because it permits national banks to establish branches in states permitting branch banking. He maintains this is a treat to small community banks, and tends to concentrate wealth in the "hands of imperial finance.” Opposed by Big Interests It was not until after the filibuster got going that he and his gang began to demand currency expansion .and farm relief as a condition of abandoning opposition to all legislation. But the most serious opposition comes from large financial interests which oppose the section forcing banks to give up the buying and selling of investment securities. Os thirty-six pending amendments. more than half are sponsored by Senators Hamilton Kean (Rep., N. J.> and Jesse H. Metralfe (Rep.. R. I.\ both Republican bankers.

LIMESTONE MEN LOSE FIGHT FOR HUGE CONTRACT Granite Interests Win in Contest for New York’s U. S. Courthouse. BY WALKER STONE Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 18—Indiana Limestone interests were outmaneuvered today when Secretary of Treasury Ogden Mills tacitly promised representatives of granite quarries that he would specify granite | as the stone to be used in th new fderal courthouse in New York City. The implied promise of Secretary Mills means that the Indiana Limestone company will lose the sale of approximately $1,000,000 worth of ston, which it tentatively had contraced o furnish for he New York courthouse. The granite spokesmen emerged from the conference smiling. Fifteen minutes later, the secretary was visited by a limestone delegation, headed by Indiana Congressmen Crowe, Ludlow, Greenwood, Canfield and Purnell, and steered by Charles T. Penn, eastern sales manager for the Indiana Limestone Company. They emerged unsmiling from the conference thirty minutes later, The battle, raging for weeks between limestone and granite interests, reached a climax this morning when a delegation of twenty-odd senators and congressmen from New England states and from Minnesota called on the secretary to protest

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

McAdoo-Question Mark Chief Roosevelt Adviser or to Be Just a Freshman Senator? By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—The most intriguing question around the capital revolves around the role which Senator-Elect William G. McAdoo will play in the Roosevelt administration. Some envisage him as one of the next President's chief advisers and spokesmen, while others see him as just another new senator from the coast.

His present visit here, together with the changed ideals which animated him since Wilsonian days, make him the question mark of

present-day politics. Always an economic liberal, always an adventurer in politics and government, advancing years have not mellowed him or made him more conservative. In certain respects, he is more radical today than he ever was in the past. In this, however, he seems to resemble many erstwhile follow-

ers of the World war President. McAdoo’s luncheon host the first day he reached the capital, for instance, was Senator Hiram Johnagainst the “virtual monopoly of Indiana limestone.” They argued that the government, in its extensive building program, has been showing favoritism to limestone interests, with the result that the granite quarries of Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts and Minnesota practically are closed. The low bid on the New York

son of California, who did more than any other individual to defeat the League of Nations, sponsored by Mr. McAdoos father-in-law. The senator-elect also has deserted the dry folk, who stood by him through the battle of ballots in bloody and brooding Madison Square Garden eight years ago. He now is a repealist. A promoter ever since he put together a traction line in Knoxville and built the Hudson tunnels in New York many years ago. Mr. McAdoo still is looking for new fields to conquer. Age has not withered or wearied him. Although nearing 70, he stands as erect, and his step is as agile, as when he came to Washington to sell Liberty bonds, manage the treasury and handle the railroads in the war years. He still has his fingers in many legal, political and financial pies. courthouse for an all-limestone structure is $5,543,000, submitted by N. P. Severin As Co., Chicago contractors. The lowest bid for an allgranite structure is $5,996,000, submitted by James Stewart & Cos. A bank check written in the raised type used by the blind recently was presented and cashed at a New York bank.

'ATTACK’ MADE ON HIS COURT, SAYS SHEAFFER City Attorney's Reference as ‘Inferior’ Irks Municipal Judge. Charge of an "attack” on his court was hurled by Municipal Judge William H. Sheaffer at a hearing today in superior court five on a suit filed against him by Chief Mike Morrissey.

Hearing was on Morrissey’s suit to test right of Sheaffer to order release of person in city prion before warrant have been filed against them by police. Morrissey is asking a writ of prohibition against Sheaffer, who recently threatened to cite for contempt of court Frank Siefert, city prison turnkey, who had declined to release a prisoner on Sheaffer's order. Attorneys for Sheaffer argued that a superior court has no legal right to hear a case involving function of a municipal court. “The municipal court is a court of inferior jurisdiction,” Deery argued. At the close of the hearing. Sheaffer met Deery in the rear of the courtroom. "I appreciated your attack on my court,” Sheaffer said. "My statement was not a reflec-
