such spectacle as yesterday with
Messrs. Sullivan of Massachusetts,,

among members a feeling of indig-
nation. Sullivan heaped upon Hearst

latter by implication Charged Sulli-
van with completely in murder
The affair grew out of recent
discussion of the freight rate ques-
tion in the house when Mr.. Sullivan
inquired of Mr.. Lamar of Florida,
who was scoring the Hearst BILL why
Mr.. Hearst did not defend his own
bill. This was followed by a criticism
of Sullivan in the New York Ameri-
can Journal Several appeals were
made to Speaker Cannon to cause the
two men to desist in their abuse of
each other. but Speaker Cannon al
lowed them to proceed. Sullivan en-
tirely concluded but in the case of
Hearst the speaker, on reconsidera-
ton, noting the temper of the house
decided that an accusation of hon.
icide against a fellow member was
not parliamentary, because it was
calculated to provoke disorder and
disturbance. Almost Immediately
thereafter Hearst took his seat hurl-
ing defiance and declared that it
would be his pride to continue his
hostility to individuals such as he
charged Sullivan to be.

SULLIVAN AND HEARST
SHOCK THE HOUSE
The Most Exciting Scene In Congress In
Many Years.

Sullivan took the floor Immediate
ly after the reading of the Journal at
noon yesterday. lie read an article
In the New York American, to which
he had taken offense. This, he said,
touched him in his representative ca
paclty, and was a deliberate insult
from one member of the house to an
other.
At this point Mr. Robinson of In.
diana. interrupted to make the point
of order that Sullivan was violating
the rules of the house.
Mr.. Cannon read his ruling gov
etning the point and Sullivan pro-
cceded, but with such vigorous de-
nunciation as again to bring forth
another point of order from Robin
son. Speaker Cannon said he would
have to hear the words read again.
He sent for Sullivan's manuscript and
the reading clerk slowly repeated
the paragraph questioned. This para
graph scathingly assailed the presi-
Dental aspirations of the gentleman
from New York. Speaker Cannon
ruled the speech in order and no
further Interruptions were made.
Mr.. Hearst arose to reply at once
after Sullivan took his seat. He had
TO wait some minutes for order. His
reply was brief, the sensational pare
being contained in the concluding
sentence, virtually charging Sullivan
with being a murderer.
Sullivan after the house adjourn
ed, said he would take the floor today
and answer the reflection on him
contained in Hearst's speech.
