One of the strongest arguments brought up yesterday wa the economy with wnicn tne site can be obtained. It wa pointed out by the Huntington RuxlneK Men' association and by ttie executive committee of the.Comercial club several daya ago that, with a portion of the condemned Central building stnnding its conversion into a comfort station, with half the first floor as a band stand, could be done cheaply.

Consider ation in the house today of the sundry civil appropriation bill a remodeled to meet the objection raised by the pre dent precipitated a partisan battle which finally prevented further progress on th measure and ended only when the re publicans forced through a motion to ad jourrt. Leaders on both sides admitted it was the most bitterly contested par liamentary mixup in years.

Tbe discussion began when the rule committee brought in a special rule for consideration of tbe changed to in elude $12,000,000 for the rehabilitation of wounded soldiers, accepted by a rec ord vote. Republicans said that such a course was backed by precedent and would expedite, the work. Speaker Gil lette overruled an objection, raised by Champ Clark, minority leader, and tbe resolution was' adopted by a substantial majority. Debate on the appropriation bill itself resulted 'from attempt of democrats and Representative Madden of Illinois to in crease the vocation training appropria tion. It' was contended that the first duty of the country Wa to provide for injured soldiers, regardless of expense ana mat was entirely inadequate.

The amendment was opposed by il AVA rvmfc a Chairman Good of the appropriation com mittee who said tbe sum, was more then the vocational training board had ever asked for.
