Debate in Senate over Gardener witness row and smothering claims
In Washington on April 30 a Senate resolution urged Major Gardener, then in the Philippines, be sent to Washington to testify before the Philippine committee, triggering two hours of fiery debate. Opponents argued information was being smothered while supporters said Gardener would arrive in time, though others noted his regiment was nearly home. The measure was laid over until tomorrow. The scene featured Lodge and Tillman clashing with Patterson and Carmack as they weighed the need for Gardener’s testimony against delaying the bill and summoning many more governors and witnesses. The House later passed the agricultural appropriation bill and discussed the District of Columbia budget, with a rider proposed to enforce the local personal tax law.
