Hustled De Almond Away.

Representative DeArmond was bleeding
at the nose when the fracas ended and
was hustled away to committee room
from the cloakroom and then out of the
Capitol.
A little later De Almond returned to
the floor of the House and gave his
version of the affair to a group of mem
bers and newspaper men.
He said that several days ago he had
talked with Mr.. Williams about commit
tee assignments. and had told Mr. Will
liams at that time that he would not ask
him TO do anything in particular in be-
half of any of his colleagues from the
state OF Missouri
He said nc knew that some members
nave beer talking about the assignments,
and had suggested that in view of the
fact that he, Mr.. DeArmond, had been a
candidate for the minority leader against
MIR Williams, the Missouri representatives
might moi fare very well in the assign
ments. He said he told Mr.. Williams,
however, that he did not hold any such
opinion as this. and regarded such an idea
as indicative of littleness.
He vent on to say that just before the
adjournment today he heard that Mr..
Boomer mad Deen placed on the committee
on coinage. weights and measures against
his wish. and removed against his wish
from the committee on the census He
said he had heard that Mr.. Williams had
said that this was done on DeArmond' S
recommendation.
Mr.. DeArmond said that he went to Mr..
Williams few minutes before the gavel
fell for adjournment and asked him TO
come to the back of the room and talk
for few minutes about Mr. Booher' s
assignment. Mr.. Williams assented. They
| talked he said about previous converse
tions. and Mr.. Williams insisted that Mr..
DeArmond had asked for the assignment
referred to for Mr.. Booher Mr. Dear
mond said that Mr.. Williams must be
mistaken for he clearly recollected that
he had made no such request Whatsoever
