 and House Is Thrown In An Uproar.

had taken the matter Tn hand and had succeeded in bringing both MT. Wicker sham and MT. Mondell to a cessation of hostilities.
 When the House was fairly quiet MT. Wickersham clamored for reeoBni- tion.
 q want the Record to show that apologize to the House, but his voice rose to a shout. T also want 1t to show that I was called liar"
 Representative Tawney of Minnesota demanded that the entire ,colloquy be reported by the stenographer from the speakers desk. The stenographer stated that he overheard MT. Mondell, who was seated at the time, say:
 'He Is a liar"
 MT. Wickersham also had heard.
 If you say that you are liar" he had shouted, and in another instant had rushed at MT. Mondel A chair between the two members had obstructed their collision. Wickersham's shout of liar to Mondell was the first the House had heard. MT. Mondells utterance had been made in an undertone.
 Mir Mondell said his reference was due to the fact that nothing in the record showed any coal claims In Alaska outside oe the Cunningham group to have gone to final entry. Mir. Wickersham had dis puted this statement
 My remark was not directed toward the gentleman from Alaska" MT. Mon dell went on. "and 1t was not uttered in debate. but to gentleman who stood be- side me. l realize, however, that I should not have used the word here, or anywhere, for that matter, and l apolo- gize to the House.
 During the applause which followed MT. Mondels statement. MT. Tawney moved that the House adjourn. On standing vote the motion apparently was carried, but the opponents of the Alaska leasing bill demanded a roll call. Under this call the motion to adjourn was lost. and the leasing bill was then defeated 151 to 32.
 When the excitement was over mem- Der of the Kentucky delegation made the informal remark that this was one occa- sion where hot southern blood would not be involved.

Washington, February 23.-Anothen bloodless battle was foughtfon the floor of the House of Representatives today. It came during a somewhat heated de- bate on the bill for the leasing of coal lands in Alaska. The lie was passed and as the short and ugly word rang out Delegate James Wickersham of Alaska made rush for Representative Frank w. Mondell of Wyoming, who was seated at a nearby desk
 The big Alaskan's right arm shot out twice in the direction of the gen tleman from Wyoming. but members who separated the disputants at the time say that both blows fell short.
 The House was in an uproar in an instant. Several members hurled them selves on MT. Wickersham; others were struggling with Mr Mondell who had gained his feet and was making fof his assailant Representative Foster of Vermont had taken MT. Wickersham by the throat Ills action added to the uncontrolled anger of the delegate anG for a moment diverted his attack to- wards the would-be peacemakers.
 Representative Sisson of Mississippi was the first to reach MT. Mondell, who was endeavoring to raise the chair in which he had been sitting to hurl 1t at his antagonist.
 Members rushed toward the group from every part of the chamber and soon there were nearly a hundred men in the crowd about the still struggling Legislators
 Meantime Representative Olmstead of Pennsylvania, who was acting as speaker, was madly belaboring his desk with the gavel and calling upon the sergeant -at-arms to preserve order The historic mace of the House, the emblem of authority, was lifted from it's pedestal and carried to the floor by the house officials.

EFFORT IS MADE TO
 HAVE WARD NAMED


 Montgomery. February 23.- Special. )--It is not all all settled that the commission for Bir- mlngham. which has been agreed upon by the delegation, will be appointed. There arrived to- night from Birmingham a dele gation protesting against the ap- pointment of certain members of that commission. George Huddleston, R. B. Smyer and John w. Altman issued the fol- lowing statement tonight:
 "The people of Birmingham made the fight against the con tinuation In power of the old al- dermanic ring. We believe that were the commission agreed up on appointed a reaction would set in which would cause the defeat of the commission idea and the return of the aldermanic system. The people of Birming- ham are behind us. We believe 1t would please the great ma jority of the people of Birming- ham were the governor to name George Ward to membership on the commission"
 The governor has not bound himself to make any special ap- pointment.
 The above dispatch was read to Harry Jones and George B. Ward last night and both de- clined to make any comment. Mayor Exum Is in Montgomery. Judge Lane, the thiI d member of the proposed commission, could not be reached by telephone at midnight.

CASE
ON TRIAL TODAY
CIRCUIT COURT REcoNvENEs
AND TAKES UP HEARING OF
THE FIRST GRIM INAL
CASES ON DOCKET.

The Houghton county circuit court
convened this morning after two
days recess during which time Judge
Streeter conducted the May term of
the Baraga county court at L'Anse.
The first case for trial was that OF
John Jarviaho of Painesdale, charged
with assault with intent To commit
murder and the selecting of the jury
occupied about three quarters of an
hour.
Herman Seppala. the complainant
in the case, was the first witness called
to testify. He related the incidents
preceding the alleged ARRAY in which
Jarviaho is said To have slashed him
with a knife inhicting wounds in his
cheek and arm. He stated that on
the night Of April %, he and Jarviaho
had spent the evening with several
other companions drinking at various
places i'm Painesdale and at last when
he was about To enter his boarding
house JarviahO walked away from the
rest of the party and called out, come
here" not mentioning any one in par
ticular. At this point in Seppala's
narrative a twenty minute recess was
called by the court. II is not expected
that the hearing will consume much
time. and the case will probably be
disposed of today.
In Baraga county there were but six
cases TO be heard at the May term,
and the work was completed yester-
day afternoon, Judge Streeter and
Court Stenographer Ingram returning
to Houghton last night The princi-
pal criminal case was that of Jacob
Martin. charged with assault with in
tent to do great bodily harm. The tes-
timony showed that Martin a couple
Of weeks ago. becoming jealous of his
wife, had shot at her and a man
against whom he thought he had a

Of the woman, and another clipping the
side of the mans face. Martin pleaded
guilty and was given a sentence of
from three TO five years at Marquette.
Several applications for second citi-
Zenship papers were heard.
