Taft Denounced on House Floor in Spending Debate
Washington June 14 President Taft was denounced on the house floor for traveling expenditures described as political jaunts. Representative Fitzgerald urged striking the 25 000 item from the civil bill but the house voted 78 to 51 to retain it. The session also saw fierce debate over the army appropriation bill and moves to oust General Wood as chief of staff amid charges of inefficiency. A Hanford impeachment inquiry was authorized with a Seattle visit set for June 22 by a judiciary subcommittee.
