...laid a wreath of ferns and calla lilies sent by President Coolidge. Two days later President Coolidge went to the chamber of the House of Representatives and gazed, during a state funeral service, at the catafalque and bier of his dead friend and Flood Control spokesman, Representative Martin Barnaby Madden of Illinois...
...snowy crown of Representative Martin Barnaby Madden of Illinois shone as usual one day last week in the subdued light of the House. Dryly, vigorously he defended the right of a minority member to register opposition to a proposal which he, Chairman Madden of the Appropriations Committee, had endorsed. After his speech, Mr. Madden went from the floor to his Committee's suite, where he sat chatting with a friend about the ecent Illinois primary in which he had been nominated for a 13th consecutive term in the House.

...lower basin, the Mississippi River is a nightmare to President Coolidge now. Last week, alarmed by reports that the Flood Control bill, which the Senate shoved through last fortnight, might cost the U. S. a billion or $1,500,000,000, the President sent for Chairman Martin B. Madden of the House Appropriations Committee, his Flood Control spokesman. Mr. Madden was sick abed but up he got and to the White House he went. When Mr. Madden emerged from the conference he said the President was "not very happy." He was convinced that the pending bill was a Treasury raid...
