Senator llernn a little while be
fore bad engaged in an argument
with Senator Watson ot Dinaian,
the republican leader, which be
came so warm that Vice President
Curtis called for observation of
the senate rules.
New Request Made
On Heflin's Resolution
The Alabama senator had re
newed a request for adoption of
his resolution proposing that the
senate express Its condemnation
of the attack made upon himself
after be had addressed a Ku Klux
Klan meeting ot Brockton, Mass.H
last month. Senator Watson had
objected to consideration of the
resolution while the farnl bill was
being considered.
Attributing opposition to the
Roman Catholic influences, Hef
lin said he had understood that
Watson was "one ot the finest old
he-horses in the Ku Klux Klan."
Thia Watson denied with the
statement that Heflin "ought to
know that he was not a member
of the Klan."
Wrong Purpose Accompli bed
Senator Rorah Declare?
After 1 3 huge Alabama sen
ator concluded, the flush of his
face accentuated by- hia. Palm
Beach suit. Senator Borah arose.
He quoted from "Heflin" speech
that his resolution "determines
the position ot the United States
senators, as to whether they are
for the American government or
for the Roman Catholic church."
Therefore, he said, the resolution
"can hare only a political effect,
Ar feci, and in no sense do what the
senator wants to accomplish."
"It was the idea of the fathers
(or tne country), saia Boran as
he pounded his desk, "that in the
broad confines of this government,
and within its generous purposes,
there was to bexeQl for all faiths,
all creeds, aif beliefs. The only
thing required of them was that
in their professions and practices,
they should conform to the teach
ings and principles and authority
of free government.
Freedom of Conscience
Stressed By Speaker
"It was the view of the farmers
of the constitution that those who
should find a home In these Unit
ed, States which they were then
organizing should enjoy the most
precious boon which it is given
man to enjoy, that Is, the right to
approach his Maker in his own
way, and according to the dic
tates of bis own conscience."
"It Is the duty of this genera
tion and this assembly here, and
the generations which shall fol
low," Senator Borah continued,
"to preserve this principle of re-
'liKious freedom in spirit and In
letter, to preserve it and cherish
v it as one of those things which we
Lw W'U not permit to be challenged,
ODe of those things which, as a
free people, we dare not let die."
On Borah's conclusion, Heflin
repeated that he believed there
was religious interference by the
ch'urch with the government. An
other appeal for at'oiticn of his
resolution was followed
journment for the day.
Watson Deafen He
Agreed With Heflin
Senator Watson entered the dis
cussion when Heflin insisted that
Watson had agreed to his resolu
tion as modified. This the In
diana senator vigorously denied.
Senator Watson said he was op
posed to the Heflin resolution be
cause it called for the senate to
act upon a matter affecting "Tom
ileum, tne private citizen, en
gaged in private business, for
pay."
Senator Steiwer, republican.
Oregon, read from the debate of
a year ago between Senator Hef
lin and Senator Robinson of Ar
kansas, the democratic leader. He
said the congressional record
quoted Heflin as declaring that if
Senator Rbinson made his speech
in Arkansas or Alabama he would
be "tarred and feathered."
"What is the difference," asked
Steiwer, "between tarring and
feathering the senator from Ar
kansas tor defending the Catholic
church in Alabama and throwing
an empty beer bottle at the sen
ator from Alabama for attacking
the Catholic church in Massachu
setts?"
HUGHES ADVOCATES
T
in
WASHINGTON. April 25.

favoring the entrance of the Unit
ed States Into the world court
were offered by Charles Evans
Hughes In his address tonight op
ening the 23rd annual meeting of
the American society of Interna
tional law, of which be is presi
dent. In his speech on the subject of
"Institutions of peace," Mr.
Hughes emphasised that judicial
aetion is the lndispenslble requi
site of any legal order. He said
this fact had been stressed by the
negotiation and ratification of the
Kellogg antiwar treaty, which he
described as the outstanding event
of the year.
James Brown Scott, vice presi
dent of the society, in an expo
sition of the significance ot the
Vatican-Italian accord, said that it
would not be astonished if, In the
course of a few years, the city of
the Vatican should become the
world's center of mediation.
Mr. Hughes remarked that in
his opinion it Is the second article
of the Kellogg treaty by which the
signatory "powers pledge them
selves to solve all disputes and
controversies by pacific means,
