III rafcFrsd 10 the occAaIon, ten or a doson
years ago, when Buck Kleore, the TesaH
Representative, kiched 10 flinders tho main
door leading to the Houss foot. A, uat
time speaker Hesd had In operation hia
simple hut great sohetne Il jus, locking ON
In TO maintain q quorum.
Whenever q sufficient number 81 Repre-.
sentativeP 70 constitute q quorum filtered
In, Car Tom, with a nod, directed the door
keepera 20 close and lock thu doors. and
the entrpatiea and prayers Of members
who wanted to get on the floor for any pur-
pose whatsoever were alike unavailinR.
Mr., Reoi needed them there for voting
purposes. md there they stayed.
The main ooor to the floor was thus locked
and bolted one afternoon when the brawny
Kilgorc. who'd been delayed In arriving
at the House, swung along.
Buck pushed at the door and found 10
unyielding.
Hey. what's coming of heref' Kilgore
demanded Of the doorkeeper on duty.
why can't I get in' House adjourned''
Speakers got q quorum replied the
doorkeeper.
well, lcmme in and I'll add to it, said
DUCK 10 tne uooTkeeper'
Cant open any doors. s~ir-Speaker's
orders" said the doorkeeper.
THAT SOP said Kilgore, and he promptly
kicked the swinging leather covered wooden
doors to kindling wood, entering the House
like a roaring, ramping lion.
Most Speakers would have sought the
punishment Of a Representative for pulling
of a trick like that. That, however, was
the last thing the big minded Reed thought
of. The audacity Of Kilgofe's act appealed
to Reeds imagination, and 1t was all right
for the Texan.
The most picturesque Of the recent ar
rests was that in which one Of the House
pages brought Cy Sulloway to the bar Of
the House.
When q call for a quorum was made the
chief page delegated one Of the tiniest Of his
youngsters to go forth and bring Mr.. Sullo-
way. Cy Sulloway is the most remark
able piece Of vertical workmanship in the
House Of Representatives. Nobody knows
just how high Cy is, but his elongatedness
can't be much inferior to that Of the late
Chang, the Chinese giant.
The mite Of a page a boy something over
three feet in stature, prov'ed around the
committee rooms for quite a bit before he
came upon the languid Cy, who, with an
amiable breeze blowing upon him from the
open windows looking On the terrace, was
cooked back ina chair, with his legs wrapped
around each other two or three times and
the feet resting on q table, reading q news
paper.
"Mr. Sulloway,' the three foot page
solemnly squeaked, you're under arrest
and ] am to conduct you to the bar Of the
House"
The monolithic Sulloway travelled his
legs, grinned, stretched his arms and rose
to his vast height.
Lead the way, mister said he to the
boy. and the page led him to the main door
OF the House.
Entering the door, the boy. with a fine
sense Of the dramatic. grabbed hold Of
the up and dow giants hand to emphasize
the fact that he had captured his man.
Thus the three foo kid led the towering
Cy down the main aisle, amid the laughter
of the house.
Arrived at the clerks desk, the hig h
Cy suddenly reached down and, taking
the boy in bis arms, lifted him up and de-
posted him squarely on the Speakers desk,
saying 10 tEd diIlu5ou SdtllOu, L give you
my captdr," and tbs arrest was COM
plete.
The most irritating incident Of the ar
resting business was when some twenty
two members Of the lower house were
inoontinently yanked away from the WASH
ington baseball grounds right at the
critical point in the game.
1t was a very beautiful day, and the game
was a fine one. The Representatives, all
Of them most resolute fans, were scandal
ously interested in the contest, and several
Of them were roofing right out loud. They
hadn't attended the game in a body, but
were scattered all over the grand stand
and in the boxes.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth were
up above in the Presidents baseball box
they attended most Of the games while the
Washington club was playing at home.
Mrs. Longworth was keeping score, and
keeping it in genuine baseball reporters
