Texas, and Beverage, of In
diana in An Encounter.
ALLEGED INSULT MADE TROUBLE.
Drew Out Of Resolution Offered by Mr.. Bail.
ey Calling for the Papers in a Mexican
Mining Case. in Which. he Maintained DR..
Scott. an American Citizen, Had Been Tn.
fairly Treated.

Washington. d. C. (SpeciaD.-Sena-
tors Joseph w. Bailey. OF Texas, and
Albert ]. Beveridge. of Indiana, were
principals in a personal encounter in
the Senate chamber Immediately after
the adjournment OF that body late Mon
day afternoon.
During debate earlier in the day
Senator Beveridge used language which
Senator Bailey regarded as personal To
him. The Texas Senator at the time
endeavored to secure a withdrawal OF
the remarks. but Senator Beveridge re-
fused TO make reirs ction. Soon after
the Senate adjourned Mr.. Bailey ap-
preached Mr.. Beveridge who was seated
at Senator Hoar's desk. and in a calm
and courteous manner insisted that the
Indiana Senator ought no. to permit
the language to stand. Mr.. Beveridge
persisted in his position, and after some
conversation, which was conducted with
calmness on the part OF Mr.. Bailey, Mr..
Beveridge, in a manner which Mr..
Bailey says he regarded as extremely
offensive, declared that he had said all
AhANhoNo W Wot Va ldoiihN
tion or retraction.
Mr. Bailey then seized him by the
throat and might have inflicted severe
punishment, but for the interference OF
other Senators and Senate employees.
While MIR. Bailey was choking Mr. Bev-
eridge, Senators John c. Spooner, of
Wisconsin; Louis E. McComas. OF
Maryland, and NJ. A. Hanna, OF Ohio,
Who stood near by, together with As
istant Doorkeeper Layton. OF the SEN
e. rushed between the two men and
separated them.
For some weeks past. il is said, the
personal feeling existing between Sen
Nators Beverage and Bailey has not
.esn cordial. Their disagreements
'ere accentuated few days ago while
lie Statehood Bill was under consider
tion. Mr.. Bailey, who is a member
: the Territories Committee. OF which
Beverage is chairman. and before
which the Statehood Bill had been pend
ing, has been an earnest champion OF
the bill, and when the measure was un-
der consideration last week supported
the measure vigorously. During the
debate Mr.. Beverage. it is said. made
some remarks tending 10 convey the
impression that Mr.. Bailey was not
very constant in his attendance upon the
sessions OF the committee. The state
ment, Mr.. Bailey declares, was entirely
incorrect.

Roosevelt in New Quarters

President Roosevelt held his Cabinet
meeting in the old residence formerly
occupied by Gen Winfield Scott on
Jackson Place, fronting on Lafayette
Square. which will serve as his home
until the repairs to the White House
are completed in the autumn.
Ii is the first time since the White
House was buil,-S7 years ago-that a
Cabinet meeting in Washington has
been held outside of its walls. although
President Roosevelt has had frequent
conferences with members of his OF
fetal family at the residence of Senator
Hanna which practically amounted to
Cabine, sessions The new home OF
the President was fully prepared Tor
him when he returned here from his
trip TO New England. The policemen
who guard the grounds and the lower
floor of the old mansion had been trans
ferred to the steps and sidewalk of the
new home, and during the entire day
there was an air OF activity about that
section of the SQUARE.

Track Walker ono. R. r. Prevents
Train PIunsins into Landslide.
RED LANTERN GAVE WARNING.
Parkersburs Accommodation. Carrying
Many Passenger, Held up for hours

The sight of man tearing down
the track waving q red lantern
brought train No. 7I6, of the Ohio
River road to a sudden stop last
night In time to prevent terrible
wreck and the consequent loss of
many lives.
An immense landslide descend.
Ing to the track of that railroad, q
few miles below Mouudsville, some.
time shortly before seven o'clock
last evening, would have been
plunged into BY the Parkersbuzg
accommodation, carrying q large
number Of passengers, but for the
warning of the track walker. The
man arrived barely In time. for the
engineer reversing his lever could
not stop until the pilot Of the en-
CINE had turned up some of the
dirt and rocks that covered the
track.
The landslide was occasioned by
the many heavy rains Of the past
weeks and came down In shape Of
a small avalanche. Rocks and
earth were piled high on the track,
while an immense amount rolled
down into the river. Several hours
work was necessary TO clear
and repair the track and Il was
not until 1920 that the passengers
on No. 716 reached Wheeling, the
train being due at Gas. The eve.
ming train leaving Wheeling imme-
diately after the arrival of the &C
commodation was also delayed for
some hours.
A peculiar feature Of the occur
renee was the fact that while the
train was waiting on the other >,a {.
of the obstruction, another slice
occurred about one.quarter Of a
mile below the place, thus hem
ming In the train and Its nervous
passengers.
Conductor Murray and Engineer
Daugherty were In charge of the
train, but the name of the track
walker could not be learned.

Agent Braden at Wheeling
Receives Orders to Wait and
see Effect of Rivers Rise.
VERY ALARMING REPOTRS.

Last evening Agent J.V. Braden,
/ of the Pan Handle, Of Wheeling,
received notice from headquarters
to receive no more freight for
Parkersburg or points In that
vicinity down the Ohio River
railroad, till the effect of
the present rise In the river
was ascertained. Quite alarming
reports have come from down river
points and are to the effect that a
stage of 30 feet Is anticipated at
Parkersburg. Local river men dis
credit this report and If any such
stage should be reached 1t would
not be entirely. due to the rise
down the Ohio, but principally to
the water out of the Little Kama
wha. Very heavy rains are re.
ported up that valley and all little
streams are said to be putting out
heavily.
A stage of forty feet and even
less will food large stretches Of the
Ohio River railroad tracks.
This order comes at a most un-
fortunate moment and will be a
great drawback to the handling of
much Christmas freight and other
traffic. It will have considerable
effect upon local merchants.
