was away from the house 95 per cent
of the time was a lie on its face and
he was there 95 per cent of the time,
as every member who cared to in
quire could ascertain.
Mr.. Lacey Of Iowa called for the

ed that the minority views of the ju-
dietary committee on the statute be

When this colloquy was in progress
the friends of Mr. Gaines and Mahon
were engaged in an effort to bring
about a reconciliation, in which they
were successful, and at it's conclusion
Mahon rose to question Of personal
privilege. He stated that the did not
desire to impugn the motives which
prompted Gaines to utter what was
an untruth about his absence from
the house, but he desired to say that
his informant was incorrect. He had
no desire to offend the gentleman.
He classed him among his friends, but
wanted him to understand the per-
son from whom he obtained the infor-
nation misrepresented the facts.
Gaines arose and showing deep feel
ing said that the gentleman from
Pennsylvania had always been his
friend, but that he had been goaded
beyond endurance, He regretted ex-
tremely the turn affairs had taken.
Mahon rushed across the chamber
and the two men clasped hands amid
loud applause.

HOUSE SCENE SUGGESTS BEAR GARDEN|
ahon Gives Lie to Gaines Who Proceeds to Chasse Penn
syNanian by Members Prevents Encounter

Washington, Jan. 10.-Late this af
ternoon Mr.. Gaines of Tennessee and
Mr.. Mahon of Pennsylvania were only
prevented from meeting in a personal
encounter, by the intervention of
members on the floor of the house
Gaines was making a speech on his
bill to "dock" members pay for alb.
sence from the house and was being
tWitted by both sides of the chamber,
to his evident embarrassment. During
his speech he charged Mahon with
being from the house 95 per cent of
the time.
Previous to this sweeping asser-
ton Gaines had read excerpts from
the record in relation to the with
holding of pay in the Fifty-third con-
gress and the part Mahon had played
at that time.
Mr.. Mahon remained silent through
out Mr.. Gaines speech, with the ex-
ception of interjecting a remark or
two at the beginning. When Mr..
Gaines had concluded Mr.. Mahon. rose.
He explained that in the Fifty-third
and Fifty-fifth congress he had $4,000
due him and that Speaker Crisp had
given him an order on the sergeant.
alarms for the amount, which was
paid. Then, coming to the crux of
Mr.. Gaines charge, Mr.. Hahon thun-
dered:
"Any man who charges me with
being away from this house 95 per
cent Of the time tells an untruth.'
Mr.. Gaines started down the aisle
from his seat. "No man can tell me
I lie," he exclaimed.
Mr.. Ham, (Illinois) who was in
the chair, ordered both men to their
seats, Mr.. Mahon obeying the COM
mand, while Mr.. Gaines stood two

man William Alden Smith of Grand
Rapids was tonight nominated to sue
ceed United States Senator Russell
Alger. AS there is only half a dozen
democrats in the state legislature, the
nomination by the republican caucus
is equivalent to an election.
When the caucus adjourned last
night, after the fifth ballot, Congress
man Smith was the leading candidate,
having 43 votes, but 64 were neces-
sary to elect. Tonight Mr.. Smith re-
ceived SO votes; Congressman Town
send had 26, a loss of one since last
night; Arthur Hill of Saginaw, whom
Governor Warner had charged with
using improper campaign methods,
had one.

and that its abolition had resulted in
desertions and greater degree of
drunkenness. On the other hand, he
said, he was receiving all the way
from 10 to 100 letters day, whose
authors were distributed all over the
contry, contending that the canteen
would be crime against society, and
protesting against its re-enactment.
Between these two widely separated
plans it was the disposition Of con-
gress to let conditions alone now pre-
vailing at the, posts, with post ex-

This gave MFR. Morrell an opportuni-

chamber, shaking both fists at the
nead of the Pennsylvania.
When order had been restored Mr..
Mahon arose. Having been cautioned
by the chair that it was against the
rules to address a member in the sec
ond person, he measured his words,
saying he would speak in the third
person. He then said:
"The charge of the gentleman from
Tennessee that I am away from this
house 95 per cent of my time is a de-
liberate falsehood."
With rush Mr.. Gaines reached the
center of the chamber, making di-
rectly towards the gentleman from
Pennsylvania, insisting as he went
that no man could call him liar with
out personal chastisement.
The house was in an uproar by this
time, the chair adding to the noise
if not to the confusion by pounding
the desk with his, gavel. His efforts
finally caused the head Of the gavel to
fly off and 1t bounded into the body
of the house, almost striking one of
the members.
The rush of Mr.. Gaines upon his ad-
versary brought a dozen members be-
fore the speakers desk. Messrs. Ollie
James Of Kentucky, Taylor of Alaba-
ma, Bell Of Georgia, Williams of Mis-
sissippi, the minority leader, and
Stafford Of Wisconsin grabbed Gaines,
who, resisting vigorously, was forced
back to his seat.

Washington, Jan. 10.--By vote o.
20 to one, the senate today passed the
bill providing that railway employees
engaged in handling trains shall work
not more than 16 consecutive hours
which period is to be followed by 1C
hours off duty. The one negative
vote was cast by Senator Pettus.
The entire day was spent in con
sidering the subject. The parlia
mentary situation was confused dur
ing the entire time, caused by the 4C
pending amendments and the three
substitutes for the original bill, all
Of which had to be disposed of.
The bill finally passed was sub
stitute offered today by Senator La
Toilette, and not in print. 1t was
amended in several respects by the
senate.
The bill provides that under certain
contingencies and in case of accident
the time fixed may be exceeded. The
enforcement of the law is placed in
the hands of the interstate commerce
the penalty provided being a fine Of
not less than $100 nor more than ST.,
900. The act is to apply to trains do
ing an interstate or foreign commerce
business.
The original bill and the substitute
for it reported by the committee were
first taken up for amendment. Many
amendments were accepted and many
rejected, and then Senator Brandegee
offered an entire substitute, which was
rejected. Senator LaFollette then pre-
sented his substitute, which, on roll
call, was accepted, 36 to 80. 1t was
then in order to offer amendments to
this substitute, and many were pre-
sented. Roll call followed roll call as
the amendments came forward. But
three of them were adopted, one by
Senator McCumber, making an excep
tion Of the time limit in the case Of
trains delayed because of unexpected
delays in making train connections
another by Senator Mallory, modify
ing the penalty, and the third by Sen
ator Challenger, substituting the words
"off duty" for the words "for rest,
in the provisions regarding the rest
period.
Among the amendments rejected
was one by Senator Bacon, excepting
from operation Of the law railroads
wholly within state. This was de
feated upon roll call, the vote being
16 to 36. Senator LaFollette failed
in his endeavor to add new section
to his substitute, fixing the liability
of roads in case of accident.
Aftec the bill had reached the stage
of receiving final vote, Senator Knox
discovered that 1t could be improved
by striking out the words carrying

No decision was reached today, the
court directing counsel for both sides
to submit briefs in duplicate of the
verbal arguments.
Lewis A. Delafleld, speaking for
Mr.. Perkins, said terrible mistake
had been made, in that the grand
jury had misapprehended the evi-
dence. The attorney declared there
was no evidence that a crime had
been committed. He said that the
facts generally surrounding the case
were such as to cause the court to
probe into the suficiency of the evi

are now here, and the training squad
ron would certainly be as safe in the
bay of San Francisco as it would be
in home port"
Mr.. Hanihira, second secretary OF
the Japanese embassy, tonight said
that Viscount Aoli, the Japanese am
bassador to the United States, had
not been officially notified of the Toxic
governments decision not to allow the
training squadron to proceed to Wash
ington.
"The visit of Japanese fleet to the
Pacific coast at this time," said Mr..
Hanihira, "might occasion renewal
of the controversy, and the Japanese
government is desirous of maintaining
the present cordial relations with this
government. It has been considering
for several weeks the advisability OF
postponing the visit Of the feet to the
Pacific coast. The Japanese consul
at San Francisco has made no report
to the ambassador, though it is pos
sible that he may have communicated
direct with TOXIC"
Mr.. Hanihira in respone to an in
quiry, stated most positively that the
question of the fleet being in any dan
ger at San Francisco had not been
considered or even suggested at the
embassy, and declared that he did not
believe his home government enter
tain any such fears.

Helena, Mont, Jan. 10.-The legis
lature does not propose to wash the
dirty linen of the Butte police depart
ment, as the house this afternoon by
the decisive vote of 49 to 18 indefinite
ly postponed the resolution of Repre-
sentative Campbell of Silver Bow for
appointment of committee of five to
make investigation.
The resolution was a special order
for 2 p. M, and it called forth the
liveliest debate of the session. Repre-
sentatives Scallon and McCauley OF
Silver Bow, urging the legislature to
go into the Investigating business
while Whiteside, O'Connor, Duncan
Weed and others opposed it. Mr.
Scallon pleaded with the legislature to
look into the deplorable conditions al
legged to exist in the police department,
contending that the state had juris,
diction and reform could be brought
about by no other method.
Representative Leighton raised the
point that the grand jury was looking
into the matter and that the legisla-
ture would better not mingle in local
affairs. Whiteside said he would be
for investigation if there was jurisdic-
ton. Il woulo be willing to investi-
gate hell ITSELF said the Flathead
member, amidst laughter, "if there
was Jurisdiction"
Three of the Silver Bow delegation,
Walker, McManus and Mcdonald,
voted against investigation.
If present plans are carried out,
William J. Bryan will address a joint
session at 2 p. m. tomorrow, reso-
luton inviting him having been
adopted and the following joint com
mittee selected to wait upon him:
Senators White, Long and McCone;
Representatives O'Connor, Burke and
Bennett.
Governor Toole and Lieutenant
Governor Norris went to the depot to-
day and met Mr.. Bryan as he was
passing through, enroute to Great
Falls. He accepted the invitation and
il his train arrives on time tomorrow
he will be ready to speak to the leg
islature.
