Break in Majority over Underwood Tariff Debate
In a heated House session on the Underwood tariff bill, Louisiana Democrats led by Broussard pressed for time to speak against the sugar schedule while Kinkead predicted Senate cuts to livestock rates. Amendments to raise cattle duties and other items were defeated as the majority defended free sugar in three years amid warnings from Leader Mann and continued scrutiny of agricultural provisions into the night.

Banks Seek 2 Percent Interest on Government Deposits
Banks appeal for a share of $10,000,000 Treasury funds to be deposited. McAdoo says if banks paid 2 percent on average government balances since 1893 the Treasury would have gained over $50 million. Reports show national banks expanded loans while cash and deposits fell, with total reserves above legal requirements despite city banks facing deficits.

Court Nominations Stir Debate Over Women Money Handlers
The president sent to the Senate the nominations of Edward K. Campbell for chief justice of the United States Court of Claims and Mrs Annie G. Rogers for receiver of public money at Leadville Colorado. The selection of Campbell, longtime political manager for Representative Underwood, drew attention amid talk he opposed Wilson at the Baltimore convention. Secretary Lane's stance that a woman can handle money as capably as a man sparked ongoing debate on gender ability. Walter W. Warwick of Ohio was named assistant comptroller, with Ohio senators likely to back his confirmation.
