HOUSE IS STIRRED UP
OVER BITTER cOLLOQUY
Farr Asserts That Railway In
fIuence Was Responsible
for PaImer's Election.

The charge that Representative Pal
mer of Pennsylvania, right hand man to
Gov. Wilson in the keystone state. is
secretly allied with the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western railroad was hurled
at Mr.. Palmer this afternoon by Repre-
sentative Farr, a republican of Pennsyl-
vania, during the debate arising over the
efforts to deprive Representative Bow
man of Pennsylvania of his seat In the
House. Representative Palmer, in bit
ter speech, had declared that Bowman
had used railroad influence.
Representative Farr, jumping to his
feet began an avalanche of den1als,
while the Speakers gavel beat a tattoo
upon the desk.
Mr.. Farr said:
1T comes with very poor grace from
Mr. Palmer to charge that the D., l.. &
W. road was electioneering for Mr.. Bow
man when the fact was that the corpora
ton was working day and night and with
every effort to elect Mr.. Palmer himself.
Mr.. Palmer tried to reply. but was pre-
vented, and Mr. Farr yielded to Repre-
sentative Prouty of Iowa, who had in
troduced a resolution which would prac-
tically close all debate and settle the
matter in favor of Bowman.
mo doubt you think your seats In this
House are secure" he said. 'Since the
election of November no mans seat in
this House is free at any time; and one
need only to cite this case as 1ustihca-
ton and possibly an invitation to any
man who wants to bring contest at any
time against any member.
Denial by Palmer.
''As far as the statement of the gentle
man from Pennsylvania is concerned that
have ever solicited the D., l.. and W.
r. r. or any other corporation to use
coercive methods with its employees to
cast vote for me is a willful, malicious
and deliberate fasehood," was the reply
of Mr. Palmer to Mr.. Farr, soon as
the former was permitted by Speaker
Clark to arise to question of personal
privilege.
MIR .Farr went out of his way to
make an attack upon me-" said Mr.
Palmer. I'm that statement the gentle
men charged me with soliciting a great
corporation for votes. / am the local at
torney for the D., l.. and w company,
and my firm has been for forty years.
There is no secret about it,"
Then Mr.. Palmer proceeded to call the
statement false.
When Mr. Palmer sat down there was
burst of applause from the democratic
side and Representative Farr jumped to
his feet on the republican side and start
ed a red-hot speech in the middle of the
floor which, because of the noise all
around him. could scarcely be heard in
the galleries.
II did not charge you with soliciting
he said. but 1 did say. and 1 say again.
that the work of the D., L., & w. Off
Gals is responsible for your election
Uncle Joe Cannon finally succeeded in
qaieting Mr.. Farr who sank into his seat
under the gentle pressure of Uncle Joe's
hand and the fiery passages at arms We're
closed
The House then began to vote on the
Bowman contest.

Just as he finished there was a sound
back of them in the Green Forest that
made every hair on Bobby Coon stand
up on end. 1t was a great deep voice
and it said: Bow, WOW, WOW, wow!''
''Bowser the Hound has found my
