Washington, Feb. 26-Representa-

tackled the tariff law under license of
general debate on the postoff1ce appro-
priation bill in the house yesterday.
Telling stories of the starving Of
children, and workingmen appealing
for food in large cities, Mr.. Kitchin
concluded each with the statement:
And all this under the Aldrich-
Payne bill, which nobody on the re-
publican side has the courage to d.
fend''
Mr.. Kitchin declared that the bill
was we'll named "all-rich-pain pill
a blessing to all rich but pain to the
hungry people,
Reading newspaper clippings of dis

the large profits earned by the United
States Steel corporation, Mr. Kitchin
declared that ''at the very time the
steel trust was earning such great pro

families"
Quoting Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson, that the meat products of the
American farms are sold in Europe
cheaper than in this country, Mr.. Kit
chin said:
1T is untrue that the farmer is

IGNORE
COURT SUMMONS
REFUSE TO APPEAR IN SUIT
BROUGHT BY MASSACHUSETTS
PAPER COMPANY.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The question
OF the authority of one branch of the
government aver another was argued
yesterday in the supreme court or
the District CT Columbia with pTece-
dents dating from the days of Chief
Justice Marshall. A mere mandamus
proceeding of the Valley Paper com
pany Of Hoiyoke, Mass, against the
joint congressional committee on
printing was evolved into historic
contest of authority between tn.
courts and congress.
Whether the printing committee
can be compelled by the court TO &c
scind its action on purchases OF pape.
ior public printing and take into con
sideration the bid Of the Valley Paper
company, is the immediate question.
Whether members of congress clothed
with constitutional immunity are
amcnable to the law will be the ulti-
mate one.
Senators Root, Smoot and Fletcher
of the printing committee continued
yesterday to ignore the courts sum-
mons The house members of ne
committee, however, Messrs. Cooper,
Sturgis and Finley, were present also
and represented collectively and m
dividually by counsel. The depart
ment of justice also was represented
to contest the courts jurisdiction.
The meat of the committees plea
was that the company's bid was not
the lowest in the best interests Or
the government and that it failed to
comply with certain legal technical
tiles
A graver contention also was maze
that members of the committee are
immune, and did not act in minis
terial capacity, and that the man
damus really was against congress ii
self Four attorneys spoke for the
congressman. The paper conpany's
attorney presented decisions covering
several famous cases. Justice Wright
reserved his decision until Monday
