WASHINGTON, March Ga meeting
Of newspaper correspondents was held
yesterday afternoon to express their in
dignation over the treatment received
by them from Speaker keifer on Satur-
day night in regard to the admission Of
members families and friends to the
journalists galleries of the House, tn
the great Inconvenience and in many
instances to the entire exclusion of cor
respondents. The conduct censured
was the refusal OF the Speaker to afford
the journalists the right secured to
them by standing rule of the
House, and the alleged insulting man
ner 10 which the refusal was expressed.
The language Of the refusal is charac-
terized as not only grossly impolite. but
blasphemous in character. In reply To
these charges Speaker K eifer furnished
long card in which he denies the pro-
family attributed to him. He says the
ADM sslon Of ladies to the reporters
galleries was by vote of the House,
and he sneered at the correspondents
because. az he put it, they thought
themselves too good to associate With
the wives of congressman.
