SENSATIONAL EPISODE.
Personal Encounter Threatened
During Occur D'AIene INJURY.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-A sersa-
| tlonal episode occurred In the Occur
| Alene inquiry. Representative Lentz
| asserted that some Of the state deputies
were living with disreputable women.
Mr. enemy, the attorney appearing in
| behalf Of the state of Idaho, interposed a
| protest, and said:
| Il hurl back at YOU that statement Tho
| deputies are reputable men"
Mr.. Lentz Indignantly resented the in
reference of private counsel, and, ad-
dressing the attorney, said:
You ought to be kicked out Of tho win
! dow, and you would be- If you had not
the majority Of this committee behind
you"
When Mr.. Lentz attempted to read from
previous testimony concerning the I'M
proper conduct Of deputies, Chairman
Hull overruled this course. This further
nettled Mr.. Lentz, and, addressing Mr..
Hull, he exclaimed:
Il want to say to your teeth that If
you are party to protecting this attor-
| ney in lie, you are a party to it,
Amid much confusion, Chairman Hull
| declared that Mr.. Lentz had insulted the
| committee and its members as far as he
could, and 1t would have TO stop.
Representative Hay, of Virginia, arose
to say that the attorney had better not
give the lie to him, and Representative
COX, OF tennessee, added:
IF any man insults me, I'll hit him.
Mr. Lentz asked the chairman why he
did not call the attorney to order.
He was out Of order, entirely out Of
order" ruled Mr. Hull emphatically.
Mr.. Cox said that when the attorney
accused a member of the committee of
falsehood, he forfeited his right to ap-
pear.
'If he says that to me-" added Mr. Cox,
'either he or I go out Of the window"
Representative Jett, of Illinois, said
that, as a means of protecting the COM
mittee, he would move that the attorney
be expelled from the committee room.
Many members were on their feat trying
to secure recognition when Mr.. Jett mads
his motion. Before taking action, tile
committee gave Mr.. Cheney an Opportu-
nifty to be heard. He explained that he
did not intend to say Mr.. Lentz had told
falsehood, but simply to deny the stote-
ment that Idaho deputies lived with dis
reputable women. He apologiZed for any
misapprehension.
Mr. Cox remarked that a man must
either fight or apologize in such a case,
and the apology settled it.
Mr.. Jett withdrew his motion for expul-
sion and the outbreak was brought to
close.
While the members were dispensing ait
er adjournment, Chairman Hull said TO
Mr. Lentz that the latter's personal at
tacks on him had gone as far as they
could, and If they were renewed, the
room would not be big enough to Aold
us both"
Mr. Lentz replied that he would take
care of himself.
The intense feeling aroused was mani
fest long after the proceedings closed.
