PERSONAL PRIVILEGE.
Mr.. Darst arose to a personal privilege.
He said that his name, among others, had
been published in the Dispatch as one
brought before the night session in charge
of the Sergeant-at- Arms. He did not be-
lieve the Dispatch had done him any in
Justice, but he wished it to be put on re-
cord that he was one OF the first men in the
House the night before, and was in the
other end OF the building attending com
mittee meeting when he was brought in.
Mr.. Keen got the floor to say that he
stated when he was brought before the
House last night that he was attending tC
his duties in the Capitol as member Of the
Apportionment Committee, and the Dis
patch reporter had failed to publish thi'
statement. He had known "this man be.
fore" and he knew that he "didn't have
| the manliness or courage"
Mr.. Duff Green: MIR. Speaker, j call the
gentleman to order. | object to his attack
on the reporter.
The Chair decided the point well taken
Mr.. Gibson said that these members
were too thin-skinned. He believed some
OF them would never have been known
outside their districts but for the papers,
and some OF them never would get their
names in the paper unless they were
brought before the House by the Sergeant
at-Arms. He thought the Dispatch report
perfectly fair. The report wasn't as full
as some OF the members.
Mr.. Barton SAID the only fault he had to
find with the reporter was that he didn't
publish more. He had no objection at oil
TO what was published.
Mr.. Dunlop Zone Of those taken into GUS
tody) said that he did not believe the Dis
patch reporter had Intentionally done any
one a wrong. He knew the gentleman
and he believed him incapable OF inten'
tlonally wrOnging any one. lie tMr. Dun
lop) was In the Capitol at committee
meeting, but this fact was not clearly
stated In the confusion OF the night ses
sion. and no doubt was not heard by tho
reporter. II was perhaps unfortunate thai
