House a Bedlam.
An echo OF yesterdays scenes growing
out of tho failure Of tho agricultural!
committee to continue the appropriation
for free seed distribution was had when
Mr.. Gaines (rennessee), rose to ques-
ton of personal privilege He stated
that he had been misrepresented BY

him with unfair dealing with the House.
Mr.. Gaines read from tho article In
question In which he Is pictured way
ing aloft large bundle OF letters when
he said came from constituents demand
ing seeds. but which on examination
turned out to he public documents.
Mr.. Gaines asked flvo minutes to make
statement which was granted him. fle
then launched forth into n speech of
justification Iof his course yesterday.

stituents demanding free seeds.
The House by this time had become
a bedlam. The Speaker worked his
gayal arm like q stone mason, but Mr..
Gaines above the roar OF the House.
above the satlrlcal applause, was heard
protesting his square dealing and declar-
Ing that the poor and deserving OF his
district who wanted free seed must not
be put down.
Tho seed question was further discussed
by Mr., Brooks (Colorado), Mr., Wood
