I believe that a bill as im jpbf tant as this should be pre pared prior to the meeting of the legislature and it should fee sub siltted to the various banks of the state affected, so. that they Wight have an opportunity to he heard and express their, views. There have been many telegram and letters from various bankers, jmostly from the country, making . inquiries, '.askings questions . and 'filing objections to the proposed code. I simply have not the time to communicate with the many ;who want to be heard, as, I must .either veto the measures todayj or allow it to be become a law. 1 I , "S. There are many provisions 'in the code that largely extend tbe tpowers of the superintendent ot 'hanks. Perhaps this would mean 'ft more effective administration of the law and perhaps .they are. so seriously inquisitional . that . they would prevent the free exercise of the powers necessary to con duct a successful country bank.

Re publican, both of Massachusetts; Representative Camton, Republi can, Michigan; Upshaw, Democrat Georgia and other "dry" leaders hit back without mincing words as their followers shouted or ap plauded their approval. Ad dresses of the Massachusetts members , and more particularly that of Mt Galllvan were, charac terized as "vaudeville stunts." and notice was given that prohi bition would be enforced. ; Expect Fall House j vwhy all this nonsense?" de manded Representative Blanton, Democrat, Texas, In closing 1 the debate.

Opening the discussion with a prepared address, Mr. Galllvan told , the house that he had ob served from a Washington news paper that the anti-saloon league now proposed to make members of congress "drink ; as they vote." He then announced that he would pause while "dry" members who "religiously vote as the league tells them to vote" and who "take a drink and like a drink," raise their hands. . . , Drunk: Scene Tqld "Why, Mr Chairman," he said; after a pause, "all I can see about the chamber is haloas.

" As he concluded, the Massa chussets , member caused a cran ing of necks by announcing he would address the last paragraph ot his speech "to the gentleman who sits behind" the clock in the gallery, the Hon.

SHIP MEASURE SHORT LIVED Supporters of Bill Carry Two Motions, but Proves to Be of Little Value. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. Pro ponents of the administration shipping bill demonstrated their superior strength today in the sen ateVbut their efforts only served to pave the way for the death of the legislation on Monday. . Those supporting the measure, although openly conceding it to be doomed, defeated the oppon enfs on two roll calls by the iden tical vote of 46 to 38. One vote was a motion by Senator Robin eon of Arkansas, the acting Dem ocratic leader, to table the pend ing motion to proceed with con siderations of the bill. . The second-was on the, motion to proceed wth the bill, which motion was made Wednesday night after the measure had been laid aside to permit action on two conference reports. .

ACTION NOT EXPECTED BEFORE NEXT DECEMBER Four Reservations Are Listed as Necessary Conditions for Entrance. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. Con ditional American membership in the international court set up by the league of nations was proposed today by President Harding. ' In a message to the senate ask ing that it advise and consent tc such a step, the president de clared participation in the tri bunal offered an opportunity through which the United States could demonstrate its willingness to aid in preserving world sta bility without In any manner assuming "any .legal relation to the league." Four reservations, the first of which would specifically disclaim any obligations under the league. were suggested by Mr. Harding as necessary conditions to mem bership in the court. The others would give this government a voice in selecting the judges of the court and in making changes in its basic, regulations and would provide that congress determine what, part of the expenses of the tribunal are to be paid out of the American treasury. Although there ihad been inti mations ' that American participa tion in the court was favored in administration quarters, the pres ident's message came as a com plete surprise to senators gen erally and all Indications pointed to a delay in senate action on the recommendation until the session of congress which meets in December. J Final Action Impossible Among thej leaders of "irre conciliables" ot the League of nations fight in particular, there were predictions that nothing would be done until time had brn given mature reflection and comparative debate. A special meeting of the foreign relations committee was called to meet Tuesday to take up the presi dent's .proposal, but there seemed to be no hope that final aetft&i would be possible in the four days remaining thereafter before the present congress goes out ot existence. Senator - Robinson of Arkan sas, acting Democratic r leader, one of those who approved the purpose sought by the adminis tration, but withheld comment on the specific plan presented. Comment Withheld 'I have thought all along," Senator Robinson said, "that the United States should have repre sentation on the International court but I do not care to com ment further - until I have had an opportunity to study the plan submitted." ' i It was disclosed that Senator Lodge, although he also declined to comment, had been apprised of the administration's intentions and had discussed the matter several times with Secretary Hughes. The leaders among the Republican "irreconcilables" in cluding Senators Borah, Idaho; LaFollette, Wisconsin; . Brande- gee. Connecticut; McCormick, 111- inois; hinted that they might have much to, say within a day or two.- j Some disclosed plain evidences of hostility in private conversations and declared that such an important step in Am erican foreign relations could not be taken In any case in the short time remaining before the end of the session. . Stand Recalled Tn his letter accompanying the president's message. Secretary Hughes recalled the traditional stand taken by the United States for arbitration v of international disputes pointed out that Elihu Root advised with the league re presentatives and others in bring ing the court Into existence, call ed attention that another distin guished American jurist, John Basset Moore, already had ac cepted a place as ones of Me judges on the new tribunal and declared that with the reserva- tions suggested the United States could accept membership with out deviating from recognized American -frtntfj-Ics.
