Following is his address in part:
Mr.. Speaker, | rise to a question of
personal privilege. In the contested
election case of Robert w. Bonynge
against John F. Shafroth, it was stipu-
lated and agreed by contestant and
contestee that the ballots cast at the
election in the twenty-nine contested
precincts should be brought before the
committee on elections of the House
and opened for the first time in the
presence of its members.
"The ballots were those cast at the
general election of 1902 for state Off
GERS and representativr in Congress
The object was that the original ar
rangement, form and conditions of the
ballots should first be seen by the com
mittee.
THE law is that when poll is taint-
ed by fraud and 1t is impossible to
purge the poll of the fraudulent votes,
the vote on the entire precinct. legal
and illegal, must be thrown out.
"The committee has given me every op-
portunity to ascertain the illegal vote,
80 as to save the valid vote in these
precincts. Until saw the ballots last
Thursday I thought the illegal vote

change my convictions concerning hon
est elections. l therefore will say to
the committee on elections No. 2. and
the members of this House. that they
can seat Mr.. Bonynge at their earliest
convenience.
Every suggestion which l made as
to the investigation was readily con-
Cured in. l wish also to say that I
appreciate the repeated declarations of
Mr.. Bonynge in the record that I was
not party to or in any manner con-
nected with any of the frauds or irreg-
uIarities charged. / also desire to
thank the members Of this house for
the uniform courtesy and evidences Of
respect which I have received"

JOHN F. SHAFROTH RESIGNS
IN FAVOR OF ROBT. W. BONYNGE

Washington, Feb 16.-Congressman
Shafroth did yesterday what is with
out parallel in the history Of the
House of Representatives. A sitting
member, whose seat was contested,
with certified majority of 2,792 votes.
he voluntarily admitted that under the
law his competitor should have the
seat, and in a peculiarly well timed
and eloquent speech asked that his
competitor should be sworn in.
During the delivery of his address
Mr.. Shafroth was applauded several
times, and when his manly, honest
last word was spoken. general ap-
plause rang through the chamber and
hundreds Of the members thronged
about him to shake him by the hand.

could be detected and separated from
the legal vote, but must confess that
my inspection has convinced me that it
is impossible to do SO in this case The
law being as l have stated, and the
number of precincts tainted containing
majorities for me greater than my re-
turned majority, l must say that If
were judge upon the bench consider
ing this case, should be compelled to
find against myself, and, as the vote
in the contested precincts aggregates
less than one-tenth of the vote of the
congressional district. | would be COM
PEELED to find that, according to law,

election. My law partner, with my ap-
proval, organized citizens commit

Democrats who desired a fair election.

TRENTON
UNDER WATER
River Rises 20 Feet in 20 Min.
uteS Causing a Disas-
trous Flood.

TRENTON, N. j., March S,-Trenton
is facing the worst flood in the history
of the city. Under the influence Of
the heavy rains of the last two days
the ice up the river is breaking and.
carried down on the flooded river, is
piling up behind the ice jam at Peril
wig bar.
All of the South Trenton district is
threatened, and the main line of the
Pennsylvania railroad between New
York and Philadelphia is under water,
but the trains are still making their
way through the flood.
In twenty minutes the river rose
twenty feet, and the jewellers along the
river shores were panic stricken. So
rapid was the rise of the river in south
Trenton that families seated at supper
had no warning until the water poured
in on the floors. The flood had been
looked for for weeks, and boats were
lying tied to most of the houses, and
many families escaped by them. Many
thrilling escapes are reported, but only
one serious case Of injury and no
deaths.
From this city the Delaware opposite
the statehouse looks more like II
mighty lake than n river.
At midnight the water was five
inches higher than it was during. the
flood of last October, which held the
record for high water. The food is
still rising, and thick fog has settled
down over the-Fiver and city. The wa
ter has now flowed into the city pump
ing station. and the fires under the
boilers have been drawn This is the
first time in the history of the pump
ing station that water has reached the
fires.
The water is flowing into the base
ment of the capitol, and the firemen
at the boilers are wading around in
two feet of water. which brings the
flood 10 within ten inches of the CRATES.
In another hour the fires will have TO
be drawn.
Two city bridges over the water pow
or stream which runs along the side Of
the river for distance Of ten miles
have been washed away The newly
made state capitol park is being wash
cd away The city authorities have
closed the passenger bridge over the
river, as they fear it win 90 before the

long stride toward solving the

fact the percentage of cures by this

The folly of taking medicine int
