BURNETT AND FOCHT
 HAVE QUITE A TILT .0N FLOOR OF HOUSE
Pennsylvanian Uses Such Language That He Is Rebuked by Speaker
 Clark
OSCAR W. UNDERWOOD
ny c. E. STEWART.

Washington. August 26.-tSpecial) Representative Burnett and Representa- tive F'ocht, the bellcose member from Pennsylvania had quite tilt on the floor of the House today.
 The House met in peevish humcr, tbat Is to say so did some of the twentyeight struggled in to hear the chaplain's pray er It was evident that everybody was rubbed the wrong way. and one was like ly to be bitten on least proyocauon. No sooner had the chaplan's soothing words 1oated away than the trouble com menced. MT. Focht had a grievance against Judge Burnett and took the floor on a question of personal privilege. It seemed that Mr. Burnett had inserted in the congressional record, under leave to print some very uncomplimentary refer ences to MT. Fochts immigration bill.
 Whereupon MT. Focht proceeded to ex- press his opinion of Mr. Burnett in lan- guage so bitter as to call for rebuke by both members and Speaker Clark
 MT Focht declared the allegations were 'unwarranted and false statements and malicious fslsehoods"
 The Pennsylvania member further charged that MT Burnett waited to in- sert his speech Saturday in the belief that adjournment would prevent reply. He said the Alabamlan had been caught in the attempt to fire and run away
 As he proceeded MT. Fochts characteri- zation of MT. Burnett's act grew increas- ingly bitter until finally Representative Garrett of Tennessee, jumped to his feet and insisted that the strong language should be stricken from the Record, while Representative Clayton. denounced the use of "epithets and opprobrious words.
 Speaker Clark held that the language was such that 1t should not appear in the Record. When MT. Focht protested that he had not intended to infringe the rules Of the House the Speaker sharply admon- Ished him that he was exceeding his rights as a member. MT. Focht then con eluded temperatey.
 While I generally have no desire to indulge in oillingsgate, said MT. Eur nett, in reply, especially with one so well yersed In it's use 1 am sorry that the point of order was raised on the gen. tlemans speech, because l should have liked to reply in lind.'
 Mir. Burnett then made a general de- fensc Of his action and of the failure of his committee to report out any immi- grafton legislation at this session.

Taft Glad to Get Away

Washington. August 26-Within an hour after the adjournment of Congress today,
 President Taft was on his private car bound for Beverly, on vacation he ex- poets will be broken but little until De- cember The White House tonight prac- tically was deserted, for Maj. Thomas l..
 Rhoads, the Presidents personal aide: Assistant Secretaries Forster and Brahay.
 and most of the office employees left with the President. Summer offices will be
 opened there at once and probably most of the force will stay in Beverly until lato in october.
 The President will return to Washington
 for a one day stay early in September, and once again later in that month to
 keep engagements made long ago. but
 he did not expect to spend many days in ihe White House again until election time. He probably will receive the returns in the White House Later he plans to spend
 few weeks al Hot Springs. Va
 The President had almost lost hope of getting away tonight when he left the executive offices at luncheon time. When
 he was informed that there was good chance of adjournment, he ordered his
 automobile brought 10 inc White House
 door immediately and as soon as lunch-
 con was finished hurried to the capitol only few resolutions and bills were waiting for his signature, and many sen
 ators and congressman dropped in to say goodby.
 Secretary of the Treasury Macveagh and Postmaster General Hitchcock were two cabinet members left in town who ! spent an hour two in the President s | room. His pleasure at the prospect of getting away was nnnistakable and his
 laugh was evident frequently. He signed the last bill laid before him with flourish and sigh of satisfaclion

 It is conceded by both of these leaders that this is s7.04601o less than the nations budget of 1912 but it remained for for mer Speaker Cannon Tn behalf of theI republican forces or the House. to pro- duce figures to show thar the present democratic Congress actualv had appro- ,riated more for general purposes than did the preceding republican Congress.

No Reason for High Tariff

q have lived long enough to follow the changing reasons advanced for the high protective tariff l have found them all to be shifty uncertain and dishonorable. First, it was to pay or the war debt by compelling the foreign manufacturer to contribute to the United States treasury; before 1t was to foster our infant industries, then to protect American labor against the pauper labor of Europe and finally In the last campaign to equalize the cost of production at home and abroad, At last the frank statement was made that the government proposed to take its manufactures Into partnership with 1 1t and thls partnership was proposing to sell to the consumers of this country all the necessities of life except those grown upon the farms, not for the
 benefit of the government but for the benefit of the manufacturers

Why Lax Enforcement

'ff there are laws to eliminate spe- oial privilege. the republicans did not enforce them; if there are no effective laws. they failed to enact effective ones; If conditions are such as to pre- vent proper control, they became so under their responsibility.
 T do not address myself to the man who is satisfied with the statement that we are the richest people in the world If he means to say there are more rich mon in America than in any other country. lie Is correct; but 1T he implies that the natural and ae- cuired wealth of America has been fairly and honestly distributed among the people. he is altogether wrong.
