SENATOR BAILEY
AND WRITER FIGHT
Blows Exchanged Between Texan
and Correspondent of New
York Paper.

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-The YER
sions of Senator Bailey, OF Texas, aud
w. S. Manning, Washington CORE
spondent Of the New York Times, who
exchanged blows In the senate press
gallery as the senate adjourned yes
terday afternoon are similar and differ
only as TO the number of blows struck
by each.
The clash was caused by an article
printed in the New York Times charg-
ing that Senator Bailey had played
into the hands OF Senator Aldrich by
his course in demanding an imme-
date vote on the income tax amend
ment, thus causing split OF the
forces supporting such an amendment.
Senator Bailey, during a speech i'll the
senate, made bitter attack on the
author OF the article. The senate
adopted a motion to postpone the con-
sideration OF an income tax amend
ment until June 10.
Mr.. Manning accosted Mr.. Bailey
after the adjournment OF the session
10 inform hin that he was inaccurate

a possible source of inspiration for
the article. According to both Mr..
Manning and Senator Bailey, the for
mer disclaimed authorship OF the
story, and at the same time stated
that the inspiration for it had been

vote and his "hazing" of Republican
senators who favored the income tax
proposition, but who did not support
him In his demands for a vote at the
present time
The two men were directly in front
OF the door leading to the finance com
mittee. and also in front of one OF
the private elevators. Several persons

a loud voice and then saw Mr.. Bailey
and Mr.. Manning -clinch.- The latter
claims Mr.. Bailey hit him first. In
the mix-up Mr.. Manning struck the
senator with his umbrella, knocking
off the senator's hat, and the senator
grabbed Mr.. Manning by the throat
Just at that moment the elevator
stopped at the senate floor and Sen
ator Clapp and Mr.. Larrinaga stepped
from the car.
Without waiting to learn the cause
of disturbance. Mr.. Clapp threw his

to do serious injury to the newspaper
correspondent, young man OF very
slight build.
The Texas senator struggled des.
perately to break from this restraint,
but Senator Clapp frightened his hold
and newspaper correspondents pushed
Mr.. Manning away and insisted upon
his leaving the corridor
The speech by Mr.. Bailey in regard
to the newspaper article was one OF
the most scathing arraignments OF a
newspaper correspondent that has
ever taken place in the senah The
senator not only asserted that the
writer OF the article was IAN infa-
nous liar but that he was a "miser-
able creature unfit TO associate with
honest men" In this vein he talked
for considerable time. Mr. Manning
also is a s.utherner, being native
of South Carolina.
