AGRFENENT NEAR ON 00D BiL President and Opponents to Compromise Washington, April 19 (@ — The prospect of an agreement between house republican leaders and sup- porters of the Jones flood control bill over changes in its provisions to meet President Coolidge's objec- tions increased materially at the Capitol today as the house swung into the concluding hours of gencral debate on the measure. After another conference between the two opposing camps, Chairman Madden of the appropriations com- mittee, who has been heading the efforta of leuders to revise the bill, announced that they had reached a tentative agreement. He refused to be more definite than this as he first desired to confer with the President over the prospective revisions. The committee chairman added that he hoped to visit the White House late today and explain to Mr. Coolidge the result of the many conferences between the two oppos- in; groups at the capitol. While this conference was taking vlace in the house appropriations committee room, two senators, Sack- “tt, republican, Kentuc! and Hawes, democrat, Missouri, called upon the President and discussed thi: flood problem.
