Senate Debates Penal Code and War Indemnity Cut
The Senate received no Treasury reply on the financial status and Aldrich joined Culberson in supporting the resolution. A joint measure cut war indemnity from China from 24 million to 11 million. The penal code bill dominated House and Senate discussion as revisions and amendments to codify federal laws sparked intense debates. The House adjourned with many amendments pending while the Senate shifted to criminal law revisions and a migration bill spurred by Philadelphia station funding.
