SENSATION IN
 COMMITTEE ROOM
MT. Lentz and Attorney Chen'y Clash on Question of Char
 acter of Deputies.

Washington March 2S.-A sensa tional epi- sode occurred during the Idaho investiga- ton today when Attorney Cherry and Rep resentative Lentz clashed over the ques- tion of the character of some of the Idaho deputies.
 MT. Lentz had asserted that some of the state deputies were living with disreput- able women when the lawyer protested.
 Mr. Cherry, the attorney, appearing in behalf of the state of Idaho, interposed and said;
 'I hurl back at you that statement. The deputies are reputable men,"
 MT. Lentz indignantly resented the in ference of private counsel and addressing the attorney said:
 "You ought to be kicked out of the win dow, and you would be if you had not the majority of this committee behind you"
 When MT. Lentz attempted to read from various testimony concerning the improper conduct of deputies, Chairman Hull over- ruled this course. This further nettled MT. Lentz, and addressing MT. Hull, he ex- claimed: 'I want to say in your teeth that if you are party to protecting this attor- ney in a lie you are a party to it."
 Amid much confusion Chairman Hull de" clared that MT. Lentz had insulted the committee and its members as Tar as nc could, and it would have 10 stop.
 Mr. Hay of Virginia arose to say that the attorney had not better give the lie to him, and Representative Cox of Tennessee said:
 of any man insults me I'll hit him"
 MT Lentz asked the chairman why he did not call the attorney to order
 "GIe was out of order-entirely out of or der" ruled MT. Hull, emphatically
 MT. Cox said that when the attorney ac- cused member of the committee of false- hood, he forfeited his right to appear.
 'If he says that to me- added MT Cox, ''either he or I go out of the window"
 Representative Jett of Illinois said that as a means of protecting the committee he would move that the attorney be ex- pelled from the committee room.
 Many members were on their feet trying to secure recognition when MT. Jett made his motion. Before taking action the com mittee gave MT. Cheney an opportunity to. be heard. He explained that he did not intend to say that MT. Lentz had told falsehood, but simply to deny the state- ment that Idaho men lived with disrep- utable women. He apologized for any mis- apprehension.
 Mir Cox remarked that man must either flight or apologize in such cases, and the apology had settled it."
 MT. Jett withdrew his motion for expul- sion and the outbreak was brought to a close.

 Confession

Paris, Ky, March 2s.-The people of Paris were surprised today on reading the confession of w. H.

ion dollar appropriation. Then it was beyond Porto Rico lay the Philippines
 "As to that" said he, q believe that suf- fcient unto the day thereof is the evil and the good thereof. The Philippines will pre- sent their problem in time. I would not work an injustice against the people of Porto Rico to meet an uncertain question as to something else.'
 Question of Protection
 The next argument advanced to support the tariff, he said was the protection the 15 per cent would afford to our products and labor. He ridiculed such a proposition as no protectionist would contend that 15 per cent of the Dingley rates would afford adequate protection for anything Adverting again on the Philippines a factor in the Porto Rican problem, Mir Davis said:
 When we come to deal with the Philip pine question, we will take care of that. Porto Rico is little more than 700 miles from our coast; the Philippines are 5000. The island of Porto Rico is naturally a part of the North American jurisdiction The Phil ippines are part of the domain of Asia. Against the product and people of the Phil ippines when the time comes, the rights of American labor will be protected by any party that may be in power."
 MT. Davis said it was inconsistent to ex- tend our laws relating to the coastwise trade to the island, and not extend our tariff laws. As to the feeling in the coun- try upon the question, he said: "I think l would be as firm as anybody under sudden, transitory public manifestation of feeling, but when that sentiment speaks to us week after week in constantly swelling volume, we must take heed of it. This question is well understood by the people. Supporters of this bill cannot lay the flat tering junction to their souls that the ed- itors of the great newspapers do not un- derstand it quite as well as we do. The people understand it, too, and understand 1t Wel'
 Spirits and Tobacco
 ''They understand well, too, that upon distilled spirits and tobacco there is not imposition of a mill of taxation by this bill. The subjects of taxation on which we place heavy burdens go scot free on the island of Porto Rico. And what do they propose to exchange for that kind of taxa ton? Why, the imposition of tariff. It is so easy to place a tax upon these arti- cles that I shall be surprised if the propo sition to do so does not meet the approval of congress and the people. What are the people going to say if this bin passes? They will say: Free rum and a tax on the flour the people eat"
 MT. Davis said no man could tell how much the tariff would yield, and as no man could say that the export tax was constitutional, it seemed to him that there should be no hesitation as to the course to be pursued
 In thls statement he said: "What I say I say with the unalteraole conviction that am right-risht politically and right eco nomdcally. In my judgment, the only course for us to pursue is to abandon this -~~~~~~~~------~-~

Taylor Recognized at Washington

Washington, March 2s.-The postmaster general has sent out the following telegram to Postmaster Holmes at Frankfort:
 Replying to your telegram mail ad- dressed to official persons by name is to be delivered to the persons named. Mail ad- dressed to state officers without designa- tion by name, is to be delivered to the &C., tual ineumbents of the office. The mere fact that the contest board has given certi- fcates to contestants will not justify de- livery of mail of latter class to them un- til they are lawfully inducted into office This reply is based upon your statement that conteStees still hold the offices.
 "(Signed) CHARLES EMORY SMITH,
