spectacle as it did Monday with Mr..
Sullivan (Mass.) and William K.

house as to arouse among certain men,
bers feeling of the greatest indigna-
ton. Mr.. Sullivan heaped upon Mr..
Hearst TRADE of denunciation while
the latter by implication charged Mr..
Sullivan with completely in a murder.
The affair grew out of the recent dis
cussion of the freight rate question in
the house, when Mr.. Sullivan inquired
of Mr.. Lamar (Fla.), who was favor
ing the Hearst bill. why Mr.. Hearst did
not defend his own bill, this being fol-
lowed by criticism of Mr.. Sullivan in
the New York American and Journal.
Several appeals were made to Speak,
er Cannon to cause the two men to de-
sist in their abuse of each other.
Speaker Cannon, however, allowed
them to proceed, Mr.. Sullivan entirely
concluded, but in the case Of Mr..
Hearst, the speaker, on reconsidera-
ton, noting the temper of the house,
decided that an accusation of homicide
against fellow member was not par
liamentary, because it was calculated
to provoke disorder and disturbance.
Almost Immediately thereafter Mr..
Hearst took his seat, hurting defiance
and declaring that it would be his
pride to continue his hostility to indi-
viduals such as he charged. Mr.. Sulli-
van to be.

stances leading up to the Indictment and
conviction of his father and himself for
manslaughter. Mr.. Sullivan's statement
was devoid Of any further attack on his
colleague and was straight recitation
OF the occurrence referred to by Hearst
on Monday. Mr.. Sullivan admitted the
charge, but said that he himself had only
been technically guilty and was permit
ted to leave the court a free man with

ing subjected to fine His father had
been imprisoned year and half, but
on the introduction of new evidence
which presented a grave doubt of guilt
his father had been pardoned. Mr. Sui
livan's statement was listened to with
marked attention and at its conclusion
he was warmly applauded, many men,
bers leaving their seats and shaking his
hand. Mr. Hearst was not present dur
