Auto Driver Risks
Life to Save Woman

possible death, Claude M. McAfee

life and narrowly escaped wrecking
the big motor ambulance of the Pat
terson Undertaking Company.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 Republi
cans formally gave their adherence
to-day to a program in the Senate
that contemplates thirteen hours ot
dully consideration of the pending
currency bill. Presented last Mon
day and discussed for a full week, the
Republicans finally permited the cau
cus program to come to a vote.
The program was agreed to by a
/ote of 41 to 18, Senators Oronna,
Kenyon, Smooth, LaFollette, Per
kins. Norris. Brady and Borah sup
porting Senator Kern’s resolution.
Among these are Senators who have
bitterly denounced the Democratic
plan of attempting to jam the bill
through without full consideration.
It is now believed by Republicans,
as well as Democrats, that the cur
rency bill will pass through all the
parliamentary stages and reach the
President by Saturday, January 20.
If that is done the President will be
urged by influential Democrats to
agree to a recess over the holidays
that will stop the legislative mill
until well on toward the middle of
January.
To-day’s resolution, however, was
not agreed to without a final protest
from Senator Townsend, of Michigan,
who has been absent from the city
for two months. He charged that
Democrats were attempting to cover
tip the failure of the tariff law to
bring about belter conditions and a
lower cost of living.

One question is being asked here,
however, ♦will the income from for
