HIT WITH A SPONGE CUP.
Two House Members Have Pitched Battle in
Committee Room.

Committee Room.
Representative Hall, of Missouri, and Sem
ator-elect Money, Of Mississippi, engaged in
a pitched b tile in the room Of the House
Committee on Naval Affairs about II o'c ock
Thursday morning. The two men hurried
inkstands and sponge holders at each other,
and Mr.. Money was severely cut en- the left
side of the head. The wound bled profusely
and had to be sewed mp by surgeon who
WAS hastily summoned to the Capitol.
Messrs. Hall and Money were both in the
Naval Committee room at the time stated
Mr. Money was writing letter. The com
mittee was not In session. and the discussion
which ensued was wholly Of an informal ma
ture. Mr. Hall made comment en- the
Squire- Wilson bill for the reorganization Of
the personnel of the navy. This measure
has engendcred great deal of feeling, and
the committee quarrel over it is a continu-
alton of an old fued which draws its inspira-
ton very largely from what are known as the
line and the staff officers of the navy.
Mr.. Hall is a supporter Of the Squire-Wil-
son bill, which proposes to graduate naval
engineers outside Of the Annapolis Academy.
Mr.. Money , understood 20 he opposed tc
it. The two men got into a discussion over
the bill.
Mr.. Hall remarked that the charges made
by the line officers against the bill were based
on faIsehood Mr.. Money demanded to know
# that statement included him. and asked
whether he meant to assert that those who
made such all cations were not telling the
truth.
The two men were On opposite sides OF the
table, but not far away from each other Mr..
Hall grabbed an inkstand, which stood on
, the table and hurled it at the head OF the
Mississippiau. Mr. Money lodged and tn
missile flew past his ear. Quick as flasf
he seized another inkstand and hurled it a
