REPORTER AND
SENATOR FIGHT
BAILEY OF TEXAS ATTACKS
NEWSPAPER MAN
Friends Interfere and Prevent Wha'
Promised to Be Serious Alterca=
ton at Adjournment of
Days Session
tBy Associated Press.I

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
Bailey of Texas and w. S. Manning,
representative of the New York Times
in the senate press gallery, exchanged
blows just as the senate adjourned to-
day, as a result of a conversation they
had on an article printed by the New
York newspaper questioning the SINGER
ity of the senator in his course on the
income tax.
Neither was injured, as they were
separated by Senator Clapp, Porto Ri
can Commissioner Larringa, a number
of senate employees and several news
paper correspondents.
Mr.. Bailey made a bitter attack in
the senate upon the author of an arti-
Gle in the New York Times charging
that Senator Bailey had played into the
sands of Senator Aldrich by his course
in demanding an immediate vote on the
income tax amendment, and thus had
caused a split of the forces supporting
such an amendment.
Mr. Manning accosted Mr.. Bailey at-
ter adjournment to inform him that he
was inaccurate in suggesting Republi-
can senators as a possible source of in
sriration for the article.
Mr.. Bailey asked who had written the
article, and at the same time declaring,
it is said, that the man who had writ
ten it was a liar" The senator's lam
RudRe WAS very tIlplldllCi anu WI
Manning responded that he had not
had the honor to write the story"
Mr.. Bailey said the word honor
was emphasized in a manner intended
to be offensive.
In Front of Elevator
The two men were directly in front
of the door leading to the finance COM
mittee room and also in front of one of
the DriVate elevators.
Several persons heard the word liar
proclaimed in loud voice, and they
saw Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. Manning
clinch The latter alleges that Mr.
Bailey hit him first. In the mixup Mr.
Manning struck the senator with his
umbrella, knocking off his hat, and
the senator grabbed Mr. Manning by
the throat.
Just at that moment the elevator
stopped at the senate door, and Senator
Clapp and Mr.. Larringa stepped out.
Without waiting to learn the cause of
the disturbance, Mr. Clapp threw his
arms around Senator Bailey, who at the
time seemed to be in a position to do
serious injury to the correspondent, a
young man of very slight build
The Texan struggled desperately to
break from his restraint, but Senator
Clapp frightened his hold and the news
paper correspondents rushed Mr.. Man
ming away and insisted on his leaving
the corridor
Mr.. Bailey's speech in regard to the
article was one of the most scathing
arrangements of a newspaper CORE
spondent that has ever taken place in
the senate.
The senator not only asserted that
the writer of the article was an in
famous liar" but that he was a mis-
cradle creature, unfit to associate with
honest men,"
