DEFEAT FOR DE VALERA.
BILL REJECTED BY SENATE. IPPER HOUSE (iIABDS ITS RIGHTS. (UKITEIy I'RJESS ASSOCIATION M EI.rC'J'JUC TELEGRAPH—COPT^ItrHT.) (Received July 12, 8.22 p.m.) DUBLIN, July 12. The Senate, by 30 votes to 7, defeated the Government's Bill, altering the constitution of the Free State by reducing the Senate's powers. One proposal was to reduce the Senate's right to hold up a bill from 1§ months to three. Instead, the Senate carried a motion appointing a committee of five senators and five piembers of the Qail to consider the Senate's present constitution. Senator Counihan declared that the Senate was the only safeguard between the people and a single chamber. The bill was merely the forerunner of further legislation intended to wipe out the Senate and create a dictatorship.
