DENOUNCED IN HOUSE
McGavin Of Illinois Condemns In
ternational Marriages.
NO PARTICULAR GIRL IN VIEW

Refers in General to the "Many Wo-
men of This Country Who Are Sac.
rificing Their Souls and Honor Upon
the Altar of snobbery and Vice"
Washington, Jan. 29.-International
marriages of American heiresses to
titled foreigners were denounced on
the floor of the house of representa-
tives by Mr.. McGavin of Illinois, who
spoke on the bill of his colleague, Mr..
SABBATH, to tax all dowries and titled
husbands.
Mr.. McGavin's remarks were made
under the license of general debate
At times they provoked laughter anG
applause on both sides of the chamber,
The house, he said, was in commit.
tee of the whole on the state of the
Union, but he wanted to know what
the state OF the Union was and what
II was coming to ''in view of these
international unions between Amer.
lean heiresses and alleged nobilities
from abroad" He wondered what the
early pioneers would think and say ii
from their graves they could look
back and see SO many of the women
of this country sacrificing their souls
and honor upon the altar of snobbery
and vice" He expressly stated that
he had reference to no particular
American girl, nor had he prejudice
against all titled men, but he referred
"only to those who have a monocle on
their eyes and an idiotic look upon
their faces-those who have neither
the disposition to do good nor the
ability to do harm"
Good Money for Soiled Nobility.
Mr. McGavin said the United States
triumphantly had referred to the fact
that as between 1t and other nations
the balance of trade was in its favor,
but" he said, nowhere in the sum-
mary can be found a reference to
such trade as that in which soiled and
frayed nobility is exchanged for few
million American dollars wrung from
the lambs of Wall street, with a wo-
man thrown in to boot"
Every day, he declared, seemed to
be a bargain day in New York city,
whether it be for a yard of ribbon
or a pound of flesh; whether it be
upon the retail counter of Broadway
or the auction block of Fifth avenue"
In these days, he said, wealthy
American girls travelling abroad when
they see some remnant Of royalty, en-
Enthusiastically exclaim: "Oh, mamma,
buy me that" An interpreter then is
secured, bargain is made, the money
is produced and the girl is gone to
soon return a sadder but a wiser one.
In conclusion Mr.. McGavin said:
while have engaged In some crit
icism of those particular ones who
have made a mockery of the most
sacred relations of life-of those not
satisfied with any other name but
Countess Spaghetti or Countess Mac
aroni'-I want to say one word in
tribute to those true American women
who have spurned the wiles of earls,
lords and counts for the love of his
