Morgan Attacks Pauncefote Over Behring Sea Claims
Senator Morgan of Alabama criticized British and Sir Julian Pauncefote in a lengthy senate speech opposing the 425000 settlement for Behring Sea seizures. He denounced British claims, insisted on senate input, and urged an investigation into the United States liability. The speech followed Morgan’s remark that party politics influenced the House and praised the Paris tribunal findings while defending U.S. sovereignty. The resolution to investigate was adopted without dissent. The same day the House received the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers annual report. In Washington, the Senate confirmed Elmer B. Adams to a district judgeship and Rufus H. Peckham to the Supreme Court affiliates.
