Senate recess hearings bury rate legislation amid stalemate
The senate ends action on rate legislation by opting for recess hearings, with hope for change at the next session depending on agitation. The house fights a long battle over a $130,600 rental for the old New York customs house, winning against opponents. The president calls a special senate session on March 4 to receive executive communications. The river and harbor appropriation bill totals $17,234,657 and passes the house. The Philippine tariff bill passes the house with little opposition, and naval appropriations rise to $99,914,859 with two battleships retained. No report will be issued in the Smoot case this congress. Baker of New York interrupts the house by denouncing the president over sympathy for Russia.
