STORM IN HOUSE.,

Illinois Representative
Starts Trouble by AS
sailing New Workers.
Address.

There was a turbulent scene in the
House today when Representative Mann
OF Illinois moved to expunge srom the
Congressional records the speech Of
Representative Sulzer of New York,
which was delivered last Saturday az
ternOol
In the Saturday speech Mr. sulzer
claimed all the credit for a paragraph
in the bill establishing the Department
OF Commerce and Labor. Mr.. Mann also
claimed the same credit.
Today Mr.. Mann charged that Mr..
Sulzer had made so many alterations
IN MS speech that as II appeared in
the Record II was totally different from
WhaI u was when he delivered IL IN
the House.
Mr. Sulzer made an emphatic speech.
IN which he said he had done only what
was right and proper, and that every
thing IN the Record was the truth and
nothing but the truth. He then re-
terred TO Mr.. Mann as a ''pettifogging''
lawyer. At this point the Speaker
brought his gaveI down, and Mr.. sulzer
said.
"Oh, the Speaker can rap the desk
as long as he wishes, so far as 1 am
concerned "
He was compelled, however. TO MODIFY
his language.
Mr. Sulzer demanded a roll call on
Mr.. Mann resolution asking that his
remarks be eXpunged from the Record
The roll call resulted in Il strict party
vote, and Mr.. Suffers remarks were
eNpunged, as requested.
