438 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD-SENA~E. DEOEMBER 1,

THE JOURNAL.

Mr HARRISON. Mr. President, a parliamentary inquiry. Th~ PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from ~issis-

sippi will state the inquiry. · · Mr. HARRISON. The Journal of the proceedings of Tuesday

last not having been approved, is the approval of the J o~rnal of the proceedings of Wednesday last the first order of busmess, and when that is finished is the unfinished business the approval of the Journal of Tuesday's proceedings, which was not ap­proved day before yesterday, and does it then come up for consideration?

The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The question propound~d by the Senator from Mississippi is a difficult one. The Chair is inc1ined to believe that we begin the proceedings this morn-ing with the regular morning business. ·

Mr. UNDERWOOD. Mr. President, f think clearly the first busine s in order this morning is to approve the Journal of the last legislative day, and when that has been approved. we then take up the approval of the Journal of the proceedmgs of Tuesday last, which has not yet been approved.

Mr CURTIS. Mr. President-- -Th~ PRESIDENT pro tempore. .The Chair will be glad to

hear suggestions upon the point. Mr. CURTIS. I think the Senator from Alabama is correct,

a·nd I was about to ask unanimous consent that the Journal of the proceedinO's of Wednesday last be approved.

· Mr UNDERWOOD. We can not give unanimous consent yet. '.I hope the time will come soon when my good friend from Kansas and . I can reach an entirely harmonious agreement along all lines, but until we arrive at that point I do not think we can reach an agreement at all. I shall not ask. for a quorum· now, and I do not object to the Secretary reaumg the Journal of the proceedings of Wednesday last. We have some amendments which we desire to offer and to discuss for a while.

Mr. CURTIS. Tuesday's Journal had been read, and it was being considered for amendments when the Senate adjourned on Wednesday evening.

Mr. UNDERWOOD. I refer to the Journal of the last legis­lative day, Wednesday, the new Journal; that is in order at this time.

The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The question pending when the Senate adjourned on Wednesday evening was in regard to the approval of the. Journal of the preceding day. That ques­tion is the unfinished business by virtue of its pendency at the time of adjournment. Under the rules of the Senate the un­finished business does .not come before the Senate until .2 o'clock. The Chair, as at present advised, is unable to ·ee h.ow the Senate can take up at this time the motion that was pendmg at the adjournment on Wednesday: .

·Mr. UNDERWOOD. I understand that. I am raising no question about that. I agree with the Chair that t.be Journal which we were discussing on the last legislative day has become the unfinished busiriess, and I have no objection _to the reading of the .Journal which. is ordinarily offered at this stage of the proceedings, and which would_ be the Journal of Wednesday last. We have some amendments to offer to .the Journal of Wednesday's proceedings when it bas been read.

The PRESIDENT -pro · temI)ore. The Chair is · of tbe opinion at the present time, although it is an entirely new question to the Chair that the first business this morning is the reading of the Journ'a1 of the proceedings of the last 'legislative session.

Mr. UNDERWOOD. We agree with the Chair about .that, and there is no objection to that course. When the Journal has been read we want an opportunity to offer some amendments to it.

The PRESIDENT pro tempore. ·The Secretary will. read the Journal of w ednesday last.

The. reading clerk read the Journal of Wednesday's proceed-ings. ·

The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The question . is, Shall the Journal as read be approved?

Mr. HARRISON. Mr. President, I notice that the Journal states:

The Secretary proceeded to read the Journal of the proceedings of yesterday.

It is apparent that that is a mistake. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Missis­

sippi will suspend while the ~enate receives a me~sage from the House of Representatives. MESSAGE FROM THE HOUSE-DEATH OF REPRESENTATIVE JAMES lt

MANN. Mr. Overhue, enrolling clerk of the House of Representatives,

- appeared and said : . . Mr. President, I am directed by the House of Representatives

to transmit to the Senate the following resolutions (H.· Res. 455):

Resolve<!1... That the House ·has heard with profound sorrow of the death of tton. JAMES R. MANN, a Representative from the State of Illinois. ·

Resolved,.That a committee of the Hoose be appointed to take order for superinten·ding the funeral of Mr. MANN in the House of Repre­sentatives at 2 o'clock p. m. on Saturday, December 2, 1922, and that the House of Representatives attend the same:

Resolved, That as a further mark of respect the remains of Mr. MANN be removed from Washington to Chicago, Ill., in charge of the Sergeant at Arms, attended by the committee, who shall have full power to carry these resolutions into effect, and that the necessary expenses in connection therewith be paid out of the contingent fund of the House.

Resolved, That the Clerk of the House communicate these proceed­ings to the Senate and invite the Vice President and the Senate to attend the funeral in the House of Representatives and to appoint a committee to act with the committe~ of the House. . ·

Resolved, That invitations be extended to the President of the United States and the members of his Cabinet, the Chief Justice and Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, tho diplomatic corps (through the Secretary of State), the Chief of Naval Operations, and the General of the Army 'to attend the funeral in the Hall of the House of Representatives.

Resolved, That as a further mark of respect this House do now adourn.

Also, the House has passed a bill (H. R.- 12817) to amend and supplement the merchant marine act, 1920, and for other purposes, in which it requests the concurrence of the Senate.

THE JOURNAL.

Mr. HARRISON. Mr. President, as I stated, the Journ'al reads that "The Secretary proceeded to read the Journal of the proceedings of yesterday."

Mr. CURTIS. Mr. President--The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Does the Senator from Mis-

sissippi yield to the Senator from Kansas? . Mr. HARRISON. As soon as I offer the amendment to the

Journal which I propose to offer, I will yield to the Senator. It is apparent to everyqne that the Secre~ry 'did not read the Journal of the proceedings of Wednesday; on the contrary, every Senator remembers that the reading clerk, Mr. Crockett, or the Assistant Secretary of· the Senate, l\Ir. Rose, read the Journal. For accuracy's sake I move that the Journal be cor­rected in the first instance where .it says " The Secretary pro­ceeded to read the Journal" so as to say that "The Assistant Secretary of the Senate, Mr. Rose, proceeded to read the Journal." Now I yield to the Senator from Kansas.

Mr. CURTIS. We might dispose of that by unanimous con-sent. .

l\.Ir. HARRISON. I wish to address myself to the motion briefly. .

Mr. CURTIS. I desire to advise the Senate .that in <;onnec­tion with the resolutions which have come over from the House I understand it is the intention of the Senator from Illinoi~ [Mr. McKINLEY] to ask that they be laid before the Senate, and that an adjournment be had. In. view of that fact, I ask unanimous consent that the Journal of the proceedings of Tuesday last and the Journal of the proceedings · "Of W ednes-day Jast be approved. ·

Mr. UNDERWOOD. Mr. President, we are perfectly willing to t4we the Senator take such action as he desires in reference to the resolutions coming over from ·the Hguse of .llepre enta­tives, but we can .not consent to any Uii.animous-consent order about tlie Journal of the proceedings of Tuesday and Wednesday or the business of the Senate until we reach a, 'final agreement upon all matters. So the Journal Will have to ' reJAR;'!n as the unfinished business of the Senate until we reach a firial agree­ment. I would object to the approval of the Journal by unani­moust consent but whatever order is desired to be made in reference to the resolutions coming over from the House in regard to the death of the late Representative MANN, whom we all loved and respected and whose death we greatly lament, we, of course, are ready to act in entire harmony with the desire of the other side of the Chamber.

Mr. CURTIS. Mr. President, I understand that it is the desire of the Senator from Illinoi' [Mr. McKINLEY] that the resolutions of the Bouse of Representatives be laid before the Senate. . -

Mr. McKINLEY. I make that request, Mr. President. Mr. OVERMAN. Mr. President, I do not desire to interfere

at all with a motion to adjourn. I regarded Mr. MANN very highly; I knew him well; I traveled with him for some 3,000 miles, and found him to be a great and a good man, and I am distressed to hear ·of his death.

I had intended, Mr. President, to take a short time in demon­strating to the Senate, as I think I can demonstrate, by a long line of decisions, including decisions in three lynching cases, that the so-called Dyer bill now pending in the Senate is clearly unconstitutional However, I shall not do that to-day ; but at ' some future time I hope that I can show to ,the Senate and to the country _that the bill is a high-handed invasion of the Constitution of the United States. ·

1922. CONGRESSIO:NAL -RECORD-HOUSE. 439

DEATH OF REPRESENTATIVE JAMES R. MAl;~.

The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Chair lays before the Senate the resolutions of the House of Representatives. With­out objectio.n, the resolutions will not be reread, ina'smuch as they have already been read in the heariilg of the Senate.

l\lr. l\lcKINLEY. l\lr, President, it becomes my sad duty to announce to the Senate the death of Hon. JAMES R. l\laNN, of Illiuois, late a Member of tile House of Representatives and a former colleague of many .of the present Members of this body.

After completing a continuous service of 25 years in the Honse of Representatives, years filled with honest, studious, and constnictive accomplishment, he passed away on the evening of November 30. · - .

JAMES R l\1ANN moved with strength to the surest end, work€d with poise to the safest point. He held an abiding faith in enduring things. He was industrious without a king that the strokes be made of record. Honest, patriotic, sincere, his adversaries could not te1Tify him by assault nor friends change his fixed purposes by flattery. His untimely death is a shock to bis legion of friends and a distinct lo s to his country.

I may not at this time attempt to detail his great service, but at a 'proper time I shall ask the Senate to et apart a day for memorial exercises, when fitting tribute may be paid his

· life, character, and distinguished public caree1·. Mr. President, -1 offer the resolutions which I send to the

re olution submitted by the Senator from Illinois. The Assistant Secretary read the resolutions ( S. Res. 370),

Resolved, That the Secretary communicate these resolutions to the House of Representatives and transmit a copy thereof to the family of the deceased. . - l\Ir. LODGE.

The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Chair is compelled to consider this proceeding as being by unanimous consent.

Ir. UNDERWOOD. Mr. President, I stated -a moment ago that there is no- objection to this proceeding being had by. unani­mous consent. We raise no question about it at all.

The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The que tion is on the adop­tion of the re olutions presented by the Senator from Illinois.

The resolutions were unanimously agreed to. The PRESIDENT pro tempore appointed as the committee on

the part of the &mate under the second resolution Mr. McKIN­LEY, l\Ir. BALL, l\Ir. CAMERON, Mr. GLASS, l\Ir. lliRRELD, Mr. LEN­ROOT, l\:Ir. Pm!ERENE, Mr. WATSON, and Mr. WILLIS.

l\Ir. LODGE. Mr. Pr~sident, I move that the Senate accept the invitation of the House of Representatives to attend in a body at 2 o'clock to-morrow the funeral of Hon. JAMES R. l\!A~N.

The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The question is on the mo­tion of the Senator from Massachusetts.

The mot1on was unanimously agreed to. Mr. McKINLEY. l\Ir. President, as a further mark of respect

to the memory of the late Representative MANN, I move that the Senate do now adjourn.

The motion was unanimously agreed to; and (at 12 o'clock and 25 minutes p. m.) the Senate adjourned until to-morrow, Saturday, December 2, 1922, at 12 · o'clock meridian.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. FRIDAY, Deeember 1, 19g2.

The 'House met at 12 o'clock noon. The Chaplain, Rev. James Shera Montgomery, D. D., offered

the following prayer : Our Father who art in heaven, wilt Thou hear us? Our

hearts are sore and heavy, and there is no adequate speech for the deep emotions of the soul. Out of a strong right hand Thou hast taken the staff, and the left is cold and smitten. Next to his fireside altar this place was in his loving regard and olicitufle. Here the associations of the years cluster and here he con ecrated his powers with the sacrument of unstinted toil. A tower of strength is fallen and lies prostrate, and in thi place affection ha its way. Dry the tears that no other hand can touch and gi•e comfort and hope to those who suf-

fer. Bestow that peace that brings light when night would distress us, that fills the void of the grave and conquers death. At the last, for us may the Jordan be· dried, the wilderness carpeted, and the way made as beautiful as the gardens of heaven. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

The Journal of the proceedings of Wednesday, November 29, was read and approved.
