CLAYTON CONTEMPT BILL

Washington, July I0.--Introduetion of
a gag" rule to insure passage, unamend-
ed of the Clayton contempt bill, precipi-
tated a clash in the House yesterday.
The rule, which prevented any amend
ments being offered to the bill and limit
ed general debate to three hours, was
adopted, after the "insurgent' Repub-
licans upbraided the Democrats for de-
sorting principles for which they fought
together in the victorious campaign
against the alleged gag" rules OF Speak
er Cannon in the closing days of the
last Congress. The contempt bill would
provide for jury trials in cases of in
direct contempt or acts held to be in
contempt of a federal court and not ac
tually committed in the presence OF the
court. Republican leader Mann declared
that it was the most sweeping rule
he had known in his fourteen years OF
experience in the House.
Representative Norris Of Nebraska, the
nsurgeiit Republican who led the famous
rules move against Speaker Cannon, pro-
tested to the Democrats that members
had rights which no coterie OF men should
be permitted to abrogate.
Representative Lenroot OF Wisconsin
insurgent Republican, denounced the
rules as gag" rule OF the worst de-
scription. What has come over the
Democratic party in this House = he
asked. "Not man on that side but
joineda with many of us over here in
the, fight on Cannonism which caused d
revolution in this chamber. Yet to-day
you are reversing yourselves and per-
petrating the same evil which together
we fought to overthrow"
Representative Bartlett oil Georgia,
Democrat, and Henry Of Texas chair
man of the rules committee, defended
the programme. The rule was adopted
after many roll calls and Chairman CLAW
ton of the judiciary committee explained

DEFEND WATER SUPPLY
Increase Of Typhoid Not Caused
by It, Officials Say.

The present condition OF the city water
supply Is in no way connected with the
decided increase In the number OF typhoid
fever cases in the greater city, according
10 officials Of the Department OF Health.
There were Az cases OF typhoid fever re-
ported from January up to and including
yesterday, as against 81 cases for the same
period in the previous year The average
for the same number OF weeks for the last
FIVE years is S54.
According TO Commissioner Thompson Of
the Water Department the present supply,
as muddy as II is, is much better than It
was IN former years because Of the regular
and systematic use OF chloride OF lime.
The percentage OF lime TO that OF water, It
was learned yesterday is fourteen pounds
to every million gallons, and It is placed
in the water near Osslning.
The increase in typhoid fever began with
the early weeks OF the present year. A large
group OF the cases in Brooklyn was traced
to an infected milk supply, and 1t was shut
off at once There was another infected
supply in New York. which suffered a like
fate when the cases were traced directly
TO It.
The Department Of Health keeps tab on
the spring water which is sold In this CITY,
making number OF analyses each year.
but the increased use of II lately has
caused special analyses to be made.
Although Health Commissioner Lederle
has informed Park Commissioner Slower
that the spring on the west side OF Cen
tral Park near SD street. the water from
which has been used for many years. is
just plain water" the Commissioner does
not encourage the use OF It As yet the
source OF the spring has not been deter
mined, and another examination Of the
surroundings will be made on May L
There is spring on the east side OF
the park which is looked on as the result
OF seepage and is not used at all.

LAWYER SAM" TRlUMPHS
Can Now Get Back the So Which
He Was Fined for Splitting.

Lawyer Sam" Feldman, who wears a
frock coat longer and a carnation pinker
than those of any other practitioner in
General Sessions, may now get back that 81
extracted from him by Magistrate Barlow
when Lawyer Sam" was convicted Of spit
ting in the subway on February 25. After
listening TO argument BY Lawyer Sam"
Feldman in favor Of himself yesterday
Judge Swami, in General Sessions, reversed
Magistrate Barlow's ruling.
II am held up TO ridicule by all my
friends already" urged the counsellor. his
face as pink as his carnation. They say
now 1 have a criminal record. and ask me
is my picture IN the Rogues' Gallery. Your
honor will ontice. too. by referring to the
record, for which l had TO pay 81, that l
was not warned Of my right to an adjourn
ment TO obtain counsel"
Judge Swami said that the failure to
warn him OF his right was undoubtedly an
omission and that he thought 1t sufficient
grounds to reverse the decision.
AS Mr., Feldman explained later he can
now get back the 50 by merely forward
ing to the Corporation Counsel certified
copy Of the records both Of the original
case in the night court and OF the proceed
ings before Judge Swami
Then" continued Mr.. Feldman, II get
an order from the Corporation Counsel,
which I take TO the Controllers office and
he gives me another which take TO the
Office Of the City Chamberlain, and he re-
turns TO me my 81. And I wasn't what
you might call expectorating, either. just
dropped a toothpck out Of my mouth and
am arrested. And the cop wouldn't have
arrested me yet. either, only I was such
a fool went and told him was Lawyer
