agreement for' a vote tomorrow
souaht tonight by Senator Overman
of North Carolina In charge of the
measure, was blocked by Senator
Heed, of Missouri. The Missouri
senator said he was In sympathy with
the general purposes of the leglsla
tlon. but thought it should not be
hastily considered. When Senator
Overman stated that the attorney
general had urged passage of the
bill today because its provisions
would be needed during the liberty
loan campaign. Senator Heed said
that it was utter nonsense.
Draofic Amendment Planned.
Several efforts to widen the scope
of the bill were made. today,, though
there were criticisms that Its prohi
bitions against disloyal and seditious
utterances are already too broad.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, In
troduced an amendment prohibiting
transmission through, the malls of
any matter printed in the German
language, and Senator Lewis, of Illi
nois, one which would forfeit the
citizenship and property of persons
adjured disloyal by a jury.
During tbe discussion the attitude
of Victor L. Herger, Socialist candi
date for the senate, -In the recent
Wisconsin election, was denounced
by Senator llorah of Idaho and
lodge as disloyal and verging on
treason. ' r
IteMrictlotiM Held Too llroad.
Senator Idge. while urging the
death penalty for spies and German
agents who destroy property in this
country, said the bill's restrictions
upon free speech were too broad and
could be used to suppress legitimate
discussion. Senator J lard wick, of
Georgia suggested ' they might . pre
vent peace talk later when such dia-
cufcsion might be proper.
Senator Ixjdge objected to wide
powers now being exercised by the
postniaster general as to the use of
the malls. Senator King, of Ptah.
declared these powers had been an
effective weapon in the bands of tbe
government in stamping out the pro
paganda of tbe I. W. W. and similar
organizations and added that In any
case in which Mr. Burleson had acted
his judgment had been vindicated.
Senator Lodge replied that he pre
ferred, to insert a provision In the
bill excluding certain publications
instead of "leaving it to a cabinet
member."
"I am not attacking the postmas
ter general," he added, "but Its too
broad powers to trust to one man."
