Immigrant case controversy and postoffice subsidy vote
In Washington April 13, a House clash centered on John Sharp Williams and Bennett over immigration policy and a German girl Fannie Diner case. The debate exposed motives and led to expunging Hopkins remarks. Bennett was accused of deception. The House then tackled the post office appropriation, including southern railway mail subsidies, with amendments and a final passage after votes on extending carrier pay and rural service provisions.
