Philippine debates spark personal attacks in Congress
In Washington on May 15 the Senate heard Mr. McLaurin of Mississippi oppose the Philippine government bill while the House began a heated debate on Philippine affairs sparked by Mr. Vandiver of Missouri. Vandiver cited alleged atrocities and read a statement from the Irish World. Mr. Smith of Michigan challenged the proof. The exchange grew sharp as both sides defended or denied cruelty accusations. The report also notes discussions on the East Merrimack Street Bridge, with Mr. Badger favoring steel girders, and city officials arranging for grade and width adjustments before adjourning at 9 15.
