Quorum Ruling He Wouid
Hare Re@gned

Thomas Brackett Reed had an impressive per-
sonaIity His facial expression. Guaintness Of
speech remarkable memory and grim terseness in
argument were sources of much power with him.
Mr. Reed was ever testing the mettle of his oppo-
nents and generally knew the weak points in their
arnlor. He was a fine listener His social nature
led him to make large acquaintance in Washing
ton and his laconic sayings became proverbial
His political opponents had lively admiration
for him
HIS REPLY TO SPRINGER
One OF his sharp replies in debate made to
Congressman Springer, of Illinois Mr. Springer
was persistent in discussion While discussing
some proposition before the House he observed Mr.
Reed standing in aisle listening to him in ap-
parent astonishment. When the Illinois Repre-
sentative had resumed his seat the man from Maine
threw open the lid of his desk at his side He drew
therefronn an old volume Of The Congressional
Record" and read complete reply to Mr. Springer's
argument He threw down the book saying:
Il quote from a speech made by the honorable
gentleman from Illinois in the XLIVth Congress
It was home thrust. The House roared. and
Mr. Springer for a moment thoroughly discon-
certed. He secured the floor. however, and with
ingenuity began to frame reply The present was
an age of progress. he declared Men had ad-
vanced artistically and politically What would
have been othodox in politics fifty years ago might
not be so now Aside from this. men were likely to
change their opinions. More than American
statesman had found himself mistaken in the
course of time and changed his views.
II honor them for it, Mr.. Springer said. An
honest man always expresses his honest conviction

AS for me- in the language OF an eminent American
statesman would rather be right than be Presi.

The reply brought down the House and destroye

HIS CELEBRATED RULING
When Speaker Reed asserted his right to count
a quorum the minority in the House of Repre-
sentatives were indescribably indignant They de-
fed the Speaker every opportunity. declaring he
had outraged their rights and had reduced them
10 a condition of servitude Several of the members
denounced the ruling with the greatest fury. and
for weeks the House at times almost a Bed

Oyster Bay, n. Y, July S.--The first
official callers on President Roosevelt
since his arrival here was Rev. John
Hay Cushing. a Catholic priest of
Denver, who went there yesterday to
file complaint against Ambassador
Meyer at Rome. Cushing claims he
and Is other priests were driven out
of the Denver diocese by Bishop Matt
for no other reason than their failure
TO vote for him for the bishopriC. He
said he was the fourth to go, Pro
tests were sent to Rome and later the
% priests as we'll as Bishop Matt,
went to state their case before the
vatican. The fight has continued
since 1883. In 1901 Bishop Matt is al
legged to have had Cushing arrested in
Rome for forcing himself into his
presence and it is said Gushing was
put in Jail by Italian authorities who
openly admitted it was in retaliation
for the lynching of Italians in New
Orleans He claimed he was treated
to great indignities and Ambassador
Meyer and Consul De Castro were neg

can citizen Gushing claims further
that three New York men furnished
Bishop Matz with $4,000 with which
to fight priests in their claim to the
restoration to ecclesiastical functions.
