BATS AT OCR AMDiSSA DOPS.
Tells the House He Is Glad No one Was
Hurt In the scramble for Favor In
I,OntiOn-CaIis II n Riot Of vulgar
Display and Extruvagarce Of Wealth.

WAsHINGToN. July Skin 'en alive"
cried an untamed Democratic member Of
the House as Representative Henry OF
Texas. chairman Of the Rules Committee
rose to his feet. just after tho body met
to-day. clutohing in his left hand printed
advance copy Of his speech entitled IN
ternational Marriages and the Glitter OF
Modern American Diplomacy"
Mr.. Henry followed instructions. lie
took down the line those rich representa-.
tives Of the United States Government
who in Ambassadorial and Ministerial
capacities expend each year in the foreign
capitals to which they are respectively
accredited ten and twenty times the
amount they receive in official salary.
But first Mr.. Henry called up TO give
official ct atus TO his denunciation the reso-
luton requesting the Secretary Of State
TO explain what steps he has taken to
comply with the act of last February
authorizing the requirement Of embassy
sites abroad
Mr. Henry reviewed the brilliant history
of United States diplomacy in the days
OF long ago in order. as he said "to point
u moral and adorn tale" Then he
| started In to throw few brickbats.
ave may congratulate ourselves" he
said. that as very recently two proud
and overopulent ambassadors entered
into the ancient capital of England and
veritable riot OF vulgar display and
extravaganza of wealth, rushing head
long to the feet of royalty. no serious
casualties actually occurred. We should
felicitate ourselves. because in other
days in the terrific struggle for prece-
dence between ambassadors Oh great oc-
casions OF public splendor. armed con-
fiicts frequently occurred.
AT least. as Americans. we should be
content that no fatalities resulted to our
representatives in their wild scramble for
kingly favors. Permit me TO congratulate
our ambassadors at the recent historic
harm resulted to either in their ambitious
desire to touch the throne. and to lament
the fact that perhaps some permanent
wound was left by reason OF some other
representative outlying In gorgeous and
| overlavish display, in vulgar wealth
jewels. peacock feathers and personal
| raiment SO essential tosuch an occasion.
And here we must admit that such
overzealous glamour and show indicates
| q dangerous aspect of the new dollar
diplomacy. Can any patriotic American
who contemplates the rising tide of lavish
and almost obscene extravaganza, with
its source springing from the Golfers OF
the overrich. fail in the perception thai
IL is rapidly undermining tho foundations
Of every cottage in the republic:"
| After being in session little more thar
an hour to-day the House of Representa-
tives adjourned until Saturday. No busi

him when she finds ont the truth she may
set up such deception as her defence
when he sues her for breach of promise

The appeal was in the suit OF Jacob

Miss Hochstim admitted that shc had

he didn't paw his bills. that he was addicted
to falsehood and that he had pawned the

an imitation ring to deceive her.
Gross demurred to these defences and
City Court Justice Dclehanty overruled
the demurrer. Then Gross appealed
and was crushed again. Justice sea
