lESS Democrats Enjoy Joke Z, Upon the RepuBs.'s J .PH|uPP|c 0N B0SS|SM
Congressman Hefln Speaks Upon Bill Before House, But in Such a Low Tone That Speaker Cannon
 Calls Him Down.

Washington, May H.-(Special, ,)-One of the most amusing things of this session of Congress occurred today during the time that Representative Clark of Mis- souri yielded to Representative Hefn of Alabama. Representative Hamilton of Michigan had up for consideration measure In which he was interested and Mr. Hefn proceeded to arraign the re- publican party for failing to pass his bill which provided punishment for any off, cial who would give out any statistical in- formation in publishing crop reports.
 MT. Hamilton made the point of order that MT. Hefiin was not discussing the bill before the House and the speaker held the point we'll taken. Then MT lief lin threw the House into an uproar by lowering his voice and speaking in 0 tone too low for the republicans to tell what he was discussing. The republicans yelled Louder, louder" but MT. Hefin continued speaking low and at a rapid rate.
 The democrats enjoyed the situation and applauded the tactics of the Alabama member. Floor Leader Payne rushed over to where Mir Hefin was speaking and he found that MT. Heflin was dellv- ering a philippic against the bossism and the tyranical rules of the republican Congress He renewed the point of order that the gentleman from Alabama was not discussing the bill before the House.
 MT. Speaker" said MT. Hefin, T wish the gentleman from New York, MT. Payne, to hear what I am now about to say. renew the statement. that if the gentleman from New York will allo " me to call up the bill to prevent govern ment officials from giving out crop sta tistics prior to the day for their publica- tion, or from giving out false informa- tion regarding crop reports, etc. then I will not object to the consideration of the bill of the gentleman from Mich igan."
 MT. Payne again objected, and MT. Hef- lin took his seat amidst deafening ap- plause on the democratic side. In com menting on the incident MT. He1in sail: Well, anything Is fair against these tyrannical rules. I want the country 70 know how utterly impossible it is to get the republicans in this House to do any thing in the interest of the people. No deliberative body on earth was ever af- fiicted with such a disregard of the peo- rle's will as this republican Congress"

 Mechanism Unhurt.
 Officers entered the turret at once and its mechanism was operated, the turret being swung completely around each way, the left hand gun trained. The right run, being the crippled" gun of course could not be trained, besides the broken plate had wedged against it. This the officers said. would not have prevented the gun being fired. although it would have in- terferred with the sighting. The turret bore the evidences of fight. The paint along the seams had disappeared, many of the seams were sprung, bolts were loosened and slivers of the plate lay around. A board dummy on the inside was intact, and the opinion of the off, cers was that even with the terrific im- pact, the gunners in the turret would not have been injured. The mechanism in the turret bore no outward evidence of damage, and the belief was expressed that test would find 1t in working order.
 Attention was then turned to testing the fighting mast. The first shot at that structure was fired from one of the finch guns of the Arkansas, and besides pierc- ing an iron plate target at it's base, cut one of the supporting pipes and injured others The second shot was from the same gun and cut two tubes little high CT up and on the other side of the mast The third shot missed, and then the order was given to fire finch explosive shell high up near the top of the mast This shook the structure and tore asunder a number of tubes, but the base seemed as stable as ever.
 Last Shot Fired.
 The fifth and last shell was a solid shot from the big 12-inch gun aimed so as to hit the mast on It's outer rim on the side leaning toward the water the structure having purposely been tilted at an angle of 10 degrees. This terrific shot tore holes through many of the support ing tubes, but the mast still stood firm. Lieut.. R. D. White, target inspector, climbed to the top and started, the structure to vibrating, but without mak- ing apparent any weakness.
 That the mast might be put to the greatest strain, four tons of weight had been placed at It's top The advantage of the mast Is declared to have been fully demonstrated. Its points are that it is practically indestructible with shot or shell, and has the still further ad- vantage of weighing less than half that of the old type solid mast now in use.
 With this test concluded Rear Admin nl Mason shouted the order to cease firing that the test was ended. The Arkansas was ordered back to the Norfolk navy yard, and the Florida also was taken there to be fitted with a specially built bulkhead. into which at Whitehead tor pedo Is to be fired within 10 days. to demonstrate whether or not bulkheads of the new type may not profitably be used to protect the hull of the ship.
 Practically every bureau in the navy department was represented at the test, which was in direct charge of Rear Ad- miral Newton E. Mason. chief of ord- nance.
