certain facts. and brought from the
latter a demand that the remarks be-
stricken from the record. together with
the intimation that IL the chairman fol-
lowed the proceedings more closely he

just Then some of the democrats
moved to direct the chairman to with
draw his remarks, and 1t was this mo-
tion that brought on a quarrel which
lasted nearly an hour. Nelson refused
to withdraw his statement. A motion
to lay the whole matter on the table
finally was adopted.
