twice, intimating that the truth had
been stated When Kennedy was
charged with trying to waste or kill
time, Bremen reminded him that
that was also fact.
An exciting incident occurred a
moment later. Kennedy denied n
scathing terms that he had any
knowledge Of or was a party to, the
turning off of the light Wednesday
night.
Meyer again called the attention of
the chair to the fact that Kennedy
was talking about the engineer Of
the capitol and not himself, and he
did not think that he should be al
lowed the floor any longer.
Mr.. President" yelled Kennedy,
Il am charged with crime by the
newspaper that | hold in my hands.
Is that not a question of personal
privilese?'
Guilty or not guilty" asked Bren-

Kennedy paused a moment and

Grant stepped between the men, and
laid his hand on Bremen to keep him
back. Senator Sherlock was also at
hand to prevent a scene. Bremen
walked back to his chair and Kenne-
0y resumed:
II denouncc this statement that |
had any knowledge Of this thing as
an Infamous, coWardly and dirty lie"
said he. He explained that, instead
OF melting a riot, he was the man
who caught Engineer Murphy by the
throat and induced him to listen to
him and not create any trouble. Ken
nedy was wrought mp over the Bren-
men incident, and with this cXplana-
ton, he sat down.

attempt was made to amend it by

making the rate Of mileage paid to

on official business cents a mile,
and that was the only amendment
that got through. The bill was
recommended for concurrence as
amended.
For the first time this session the
house split today on party lines. 1t
came up on two senate bills making
