The Washington herald., 1911-08-19

Representative Henry d. Clayton, of
Alabama, Democrat, used language on
the floor of the House yesterday that is
not countenanced In polite society. Los
Ing his temper in colloquy with Rep
resentatives Payne, of New York, and
Mann, of Illinois, Mr.. Clayton let loose
a number OF colloquial expressions that
will not be reproduced In to-day's Con-
gressional Record. For time 1t was
feared that Messrs. Clayton and Mann
would indulge in a good, old-fashfoned
rough h-and-tumble fight on the floor Of
the House. Mr.. Clayton was In a bel
ligerent frame of mind, and was evi-
IDENTIFY disappointed when the verbal con-
troversy failed to materialize into
physical combat. He showed his dis
pleasure when he exclaimed, as he shook
his finger at Mr.. Mann: Il wish you'd
meet me outside"
'Tll be outside in due season and you'll
have no. trouble finding me-" retorted
Mr. Mann as he glazed at the angry
Alabama Democrat
The House had just voted down the
resolution of Representative Underwood
providing that the House should pass the
free list bill over the Presidents veto.
"At this juncture," said Mr.. Clayton, IT
should like to have printed in the Record
the Democratic report Of the Ways and
Means Committee on the free list BILL

'T object" shouted Representative
Payne. This aroused the ire of Repre-
sentative Clayton. "All right" remarked
Mr.. Clayton, turning to Mr.. Payne.
Then I'll get 1t in by extending my re-
marks on the wool BILL"
Jumping to his feet Representative
Mann bawled across the aisle, "The gen.
tleman will not gain anything by making
threats"
Mr.. Mann's remarks threw Mr.. Clay
ton into fury. He turned on Mr.. Mann
m his rage. BY this time the House
was in an uproar. Members crowded
around Messrs. Clayton and Mann, while
the Speaker pounded the sounding board
with his gavel until he grew tired and
weary. He was unable to restore order.
All this time Mr. Mann and Mr.. Clayton
told what they thought of one another
in language that was brutally frank.
Now and then one of Mr.. Clayton's
adjectives floated into the galleries to
the dismay of its feminine occupants.
Mr.. Clayton kept up his TRADE for two
or three minutes, taking his seat only
when he appeared to be exhausted from
his exertions. But the Alabama man
was still hot under the collar. Turning
toward Mr.. Mann, he suggested q meet
ing outside" Mr.. Mann expressed his
willingness to settle the difficulty In a
place where Marquis of Queensberry in
stead of parliamentary rules could be

The Model Husband.

One short year ago James Sydney
Mccullough was known all over the
land as the model husband. In a CON-
petition he submitted list Of answers
that showed him so tender and solicitous
of his wife's welfare and happiness that
he was acclaimed the man among men
who should be held up as an ideal fol-
the brides of the nation. He was the
cynosure of all eyes, and scarcely a
newspaper in the land but gave space
to Mr.. Mccullough and his excellent
traits.
Yesterday the press dispatches from
Chicago carried the pathetic news that
Mrs Mccullough had ended her life
owing to the neglect of her husband
He had been away for some time, and
she felt too lonely to live in her apart
ment, Paradise Flat"
Before taking an overdose of sleeping
powders, she wrote a note to her maid
in which she lamented that her hus-
bands treatment was such as to make
her life a burden. Her tragic ending
was attributed to his lack of consider
alton.
Here is the irony of fate What a
travesty on human emotions! Think
of the innumerable wives who have
stole. indifferent husbands, of whom,
nothing is expected and from whom
nothing in the form of love or SYM
pathy is ever received. Yet they live
out their allotted years, and are con-
tent with their lot.
Mrs. Mccullough was a gifted writer.
Her pen name was Myrtle Reed. But
her literary pursuits were not sufficient
to make her content with life when she
longed for husbands affection, which
was not hers. Her life and its sad
ending should point moral to others.
Uneasy lies the head that wears a
crown" applies in the case of wife
who has a model husband"

STATEHOOD COMPROMISE
MAY PASS HOUSE TO-DAY
Senator Smiths Measure, Rushed Through Senate
Yesterday. Has Received the Approval of
4 Democratic Leaders.

Congress will probably pass resolution
admitting Arizona and New Mexico to
Statehood before the adjournment Of the
extra session, and II IL believed that the
President will approve the same. The
resolution offered by Senator William Al
den Smith. Of Michigan, chairman Of the
Senate Committee on Territories. which
was revised at a conference of the joint
committees on Territories Of the two
Houses, passed the Senate yesterday after
extended debate. by vote Of SO to 8.
The new resolution omits the recall of
judges from the Arizona constitution and
makes II imperative that this elimination
should be accepted by the people Of Ari-
zona as a condition Of their coming into
the Union. Certain notifications are sug-
gested In the constitution of New Mexeo
which are intended to make that docu-
ment easier Of amendment. These modi-
fications in the New Mexico constitution,
however, are not conditions precedent to
Statehood. The people Of New Mexico
may accept or reject as they see fit. II
The Washington herald., 1911-08-19

is generally predicted by people In a
position to know Of conditions In the two
Territories that both will accept the
terms Of the new resolution and come into
the Union without further delay.
The Statehood resolution will undoubt-
edly pass the House. Before 1T started
on its way in the Senate 1t was sub
mitted to the House leaders and was re-
vised to meet their views. 1t is expected
that the resolution will go through the
House to-day.
The vote by which the Statehood reso-
luton passed the Senate was as follows:

ADJOURN TUESDAY,
PLAN OF LEADERS
Will Agree to Cotton Bill
on Monday.

A tentative agreement to adjourn Con-
gress late Tuesday night or at noon
Wednesday has been reached by the
leaders OF the Senate and the House.
An effort, made yesterday by Senator
Penrose, chairman of the Committee on
Finance, to bring about an adjournment
to-day failed. owing to the insistence
Of Representative Mann, Of Illinois, the
Republican leader of the House, that the
cotton bill should go over until Monday.
With the disposal OF the Underwood
resolutions, which were defeated, pro-
viding that the wool and free list bills
should be passed over the Presidents 8
veto, the date Of adjournment, hinged on
the procedure to be adopted With refer
ence to the cotton bill passed by the
Senate Thursday. This was determined
at a conference last night In which Rep
resentative Underwood, of Alabama, and
the other Democratic members of the
Committee on Ways and Means par
ticipated.
1t was practically decided that the
House shoulG concur in the provisions
of the Senate cotton bill. to which was
attached amendments to the iron, stse,,
and chemical schedules. At the sugges-
ton Of Chairman Underwood the clerical
force Of the Ways and Means Commit
tee was instructed to make an exami-
nation and report on the rates of the
Senate iron and steel schedule as COM
pared with the rates on these products
as contained in the bill which has been
framed by the House committee. Repre-
sentative Underwood does not think that
the Senate and House differ materially.
Although he has not carefully studied
the terms OF the Senate schedule, he is of
opinion that the rates in the two bills
are approximately the sarNs. II the ex-
animation of the bills verifies Mr. Under
woods assumption, the Senate cotton bill
will be reported to the House to-day.
1t was the disposition of the Democratic
leaders to take up the cotton bill for de-

Congratulations, Grandpa" Teddy!
Reinstatement of Magee.

All lovers of baseball-and they num-
Der millions-are interested in the Magee
case. Here was a fragrant violation oi
the ethics of the game, and the crack
Philadelphia player was punished, as he
well deserved.
He was kept out of the game more
than month; but, unfortunately, il
was not Magee, but the Philadelphia
National League team, that was the
greatest sufferer for his attack on the
umpire When Magec left, the team
sorely missed him. With injuries to
one or two of the other players, the
team rapidly lost ground, until now it
is no longer a contender for, the flag.
This is to be regretted. But the moral
is not hard to find.
A player who puts his whole life and
soul into the game, as do Cobb, Bresna-
han, and Magee, cannot be blamed for
outbursts of anger, for they are not
trained in diplomacy, but in physical
prowess. They must be high-spirited
or they would not be good ball players.
Hence, a sudden outburst of passion
can be readily understood.
Despite this condition, the game of
baseball is becoming more and more
free from rowdyism. 1t is gentleman's
game, and the class of men who play
il is constantly becoming higher. 1t
need not rank with golf or tennis, where
there is no professional class, but as a
sport it outranks any in America, past
or present In order to hold this place
in the heart of fandom, it must remain
on its present high plane. The day of
umpire batting is gone. Players with
quick tempers must be taught mental
control, the same as pitcher must
train his muscles.
To accomplish the best results the
spectators should not provoke discord.
More often the crowd is yelling, Slug
him !" PUT him out!" and 'Rottenw
before TROUBLE begins on the field proper.
Let there be moderation on the part
of the fans, and the players will deport
themselves more in keeping with the
rules of the game

bate to-day. This plan had to be aban-
doned because of the notice given by Rep
resentative Mann that he would insist
upon compliance with the ruls that bill
reported has to lie over for a day. unless
unanimous consent for its consideration
is accorded.
Mr.. Mann told Mr.. Underwood yester-
day that he would not give unanimous
consent for debate on the cotton bill to-
day.
The present plan is to report the cot
ton bill to-day and pass 1t Monday after
a few hours debate. The measure will
then go to the President. He Is expected

Squarely Before the People.

The wool bill veto, the breach in the
nsurgent-Democratic alliance, and the
sen1i-oficial announcement that the cot
ton and other tariff bills passed this
session will be vetoed by the President,
combined to make an eventful day in
our legislative history. All this points
to an early adjournment of Congress,
much to the qualification of business in
terests generally The wool veto was
not surprise The bill, says the Presi-
dent, had been thrown together hastily,
to furnish campaign material for the
Democrats and insurgents, with Mr.. La
Toilette as the leader. And this is the
way Mr.. Taft dissects the measure:
There is no public exigency requir-
ing the revision of Schedule K in Au-
gust without adequate information,
rather than in December next with such
information. December was the time
fixed by both parties in the last Con-
gress for the submission of adequate in
formation upon Schedule K, with a
view to its amendment Certainly the
public veal is better preserved by de-
laying ninety days in order TO do justice
and make such a reduction as shall be
proper, than now blindly TO enact law
which may seriously injure the indus
tries involved and the business of the
country in general"
With these concluding sentences the
President has put the case before the
people IN dignifed manner. Nor does
he take back any o: his former criti-
cism of the present wool rates. He re-
peats that he is pledged ito moderate
protection policy" and again states that
in his estimation many rates in the pres
ent schedule are too high and are in
excess of any needed protection for the
wool grower or manufactured But"
adds the President, "to attempt to re-
wise the most complicated schedule of
the tariff without sufficient data on
which TO base judgment as to how that
schedule ought to be amended, or how
its rates ought to be reduced in order
that the new act shall furnish the
proper measure of protection, and no
more would be the height of economic
folly and certain to invite business dis
aster."
Mr.. Taft pledges again that he will
ask for reduction of the rate in
Schedule K, but he insists that the re-
casting shall be done "sanely, decently,
N sound order, and in the light of in
formation which nobody can assail."
The failure of the House to pass the
measure over the Presidents veto ef-
fectively stops all effort at tariff tinker
ing for the present With the report of
the tariff board before Congress in De-
cember, the revision of many schedules
can be undertaken without friction and
to the benefit of the public.
1t will still remain a political issue,
with the stakes of the game the White
House and both Houses of Congress.
The voters of the nation will see that
the game is honestly played.

Who Was Careless ?

The president of the board of edu-
cation lays the blame for the mistake
in the plans for the new normal school
building, at Harvard and Eleventh
streets, upon the municipal architect, and
that official maintains that no one in
particular is to blame The corporation
counsel was instructed to study the sit
uation and see whether the building re-
striction in the deed to the property
could be avoided. There seems to be
no attempt to discover who is to blame
for the position in which the District
has been placed The case is this !:
The District of Columbia buys piece
of valuable property upon which to
erect fine normal school building. The
deed is passed and recorded. In the
deed the property is described. Plans
are then drawn, at considerable ex-
pense, and work commenced upon the
construction, when some one discovers
that the plans will rot fit the ground, or
vice versa, and, as consequence, either
the deed must be altered or the plans.
The spectacle thus presented reflects
upon the business management Of some
one whose duty il is to care for the
business Of the District government
II is scarcely conceivable that q busi-
ness man would buy q piece of ground
for a certain purpose, only to find,
after he had parted with his cash, that
there was clause in the deed which
prevented him from earning out his
plans This i just what has happened
