WASHINGTON, Mar: 8.— Worn
down to a grim, stubborn strug
gle, the senate plunged Into an
other night session last night,
with some members prepared to
stay In session continuously until
Friday nqon to break the opposi
tion against the continuing of
senatorial corruption Investiga
tion begun by Senator James A.
Reed of Missouri.
Early hours of the night were
spent in debating the bill which
set up a separate bureau of prohi
bition enforcement in the treas
ury department. This was an ad
ministrative measure, sought .by
Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Andrews, and opposed by
wets. »

with a feeble result. Only three

In the three days tbe bill has been

Senator
Bruce, Maryland, democrat, and
the two New Jersey senators.
Edge, republican, and Edwards,
democrat, constituted the corpor
al’s guard which vainly resisted
the dry forces behind the bill. _
P a s s Prohibition Rill
After passing the prohibition
reenforccmenf bill, the senate
voted to resume consideration of
tbe Reed campaign investigating
resolution.
The vote was 53 to 24.
Tbe real fight Is tbe one that
lurks Just behind the prohibition
bill— the .fight over tha senatorial
campaign Investigation.
It brings together In the most
bitter personal clash of tbe ses
sion, two distant cousins. Senator
James A. Reed, Missouri, demo
crat, and Senator-David A. Reed,
Pennsylvania republican. They
are alike in name, but In no()ilng
else.
Reed of Missouri, the eld
erly, silver-haired, hard-boiled
veteran of the senate, sardonic,
deadly in attack, with barbed wit
that has made many senators
wince. He uncovered the huge
campaign expenditures of Sena
tor-elect Vare of Pennsylvania
and Senator-elect Frank L. Smith
of Illinois, the financial munitions
euppljpd by tbe Mellons and the
Pennsylvania- Manufacturers’ as
sociation In Pennsylvania and
Samuel Insult In Illinois.
W ants To Vote
“I intend to keep the matter
before the senate'until it is voted
on,’* Reed of Missouri declared.
“I have the votes to pass It If
senators will allow .lt to come to
a vote. «
To which the other Reed re
plied:'
‘‘This resolution will never pass
unless I fall to the floor.” ••
This Reed, the young protege
of Andrew Mellon, Is a purebred
a republican as the other Reed
Is purebred democrat, deadly ser
ious, but as hard a hitter as his
mote witty opponent, a world war
veteran who shoots with . deadly
aim. He Is opposed to extending
the powers of the Reed commit
tee. He denies that be desires to
shield Vare and the Pennsylvania
republican organisation. Insisting
on the contrary that ha wants to
show that the charges of corrup
tion are false.
Jim Reed got the resolution up
tor a short time during the morn
ing hour when the resolution nu*
tomatlcally went back to the cal
endar. The fact that Read's res
olution had a majority of 5« to 2K
on this motion to take It up indi
