Washington, Dec. 1.-THE Congress
seat occupied by Charles G. Bowman
of the Eleventh Pennsylvania district
was declared vacant by the House OF
Representatives today. There was a
bitter partisan debate in which Rep
reEentative Palmer, a Democrat, and
Representative Farr. a Republican,
both of Pennsylvania denounced one
another.
Mr.. Palmer characterized as anvil
full, deliberate and malicious false
hood" an accusation of Mr.. farr that
the Lackawanna railroad forced It's
employees to support Mr.. Palmer in
the November election He called
upon Mr.. Farr to prove his insinua
tons or apologize like a man"
1T is true" shouted Mr.. Palmer,
shaking with emotion, that | am the

Mr.. Farr stood pat, declaring that
the railroad officials helped Palmer
in his campaign, and he insisted that
just as much coercion had peen used
in Palmer's election as Palmer had
charged had been employed in the
case of Mr.. Bowman
The resolution declaring Mr.. Bow.

today and wrought great havoc
among the shipping At least hum
dred small vessels were either wreck
ed or damaged to such an extent that
they will be a total loss to their

loss of life.
That so many small craft could be
destroyed without carrying members
of the crews to the bottom of the
