CLAYTON DECLARES . HOUSE IS SCOWARDLY Randell Speech Starts An
 Acrimonious Debate RANDELL EXPLAINS Several House Members Refuse to Accept Explanation of Speech
 Which They Think Re-
 flected on Congress

Washington, April Zone of the most acrimonious debates heard in the House this session was participated today when Congressman Randell of Texas. demo- crat, explained that he meant no refiec- ton upon members when he intmated in his speech of Thursday that majority of the members of the House were en- gagged in employment that nis anti-cor- poration retalners fee bill would stop. Ap- plause greeted the replies of Represen- tative Edwards and Representative Bart lett of Georgia James of Kentucky. Clay ton of Alabama, democrats. and Hamilton of Michigan. republican. who sharply crit icised the Texans declarations and virtu- ally declined to accept his explanation.
 Mir Randell insisted that his language as 1t appears in the record could not be construed either as insulting to mem bers or as questioning their integrity. He referred to the printed record and read the statement that had aroused the bu- reaus criticism.
 Randell Explains
 This is what I said :" exclaimed Ran dell, and I submit that nothing in 1t reflects on any member: I have no doubt that an investigation would show that a majority of the members of this House and of the Congress are engaged In em- ployments today which the passage of that bill would stop. I believe 1t is true that nine-tenths, or perhaps a larger percent age of those employments are absolutely innocent In themselves, but the situation Is there. There is the connection of the officers with the institution. There is the connection of the agent with his principal. There is the connection of the attorney with his client D
 Mir Edwards called sharply upon MT. Randell to produce his proofs of any such illegal employment of members, and to name both the members and the corporations they served. He was ap- plauded when he resumed his seat
 Representative James declared sharp ly that the Texans explanation did not explain, and declined to accept his con

tention that his statement had been misinterpreted. Mir. Garner of Texas likewise declined to accept the con- struction his colleagu sought to place upon his words.
 Clayton Talks
 Representative Clayton, chairman of the judiciary committee, before which the Randell bill was pending, made a vigorous reply to MT. Randells insinu- ation, and characterized his measure as ridiculous"
 The rules of this house." he said, and probably an undue regard for the feelings of the gentleman from Texas, prevented the committee from making statement concerning this matter. I'll tell you what is the mater with this House; 1t Is not that members are crooks or dishonest men, but that there are too many towards We all vote for measures of doubtful propriety, because we are afraid the folks back home would misunderstand." Most all of the bilrs provisions, he said, were to be found In existing law.
 . An effort by Representative Henry of Texas, chairman of the eomimttee on rules, to make reply to MT. Randell was defeated by the desire of the House to close the incident. He gave notice. however, that he would discuss 1t at some future time.

The Stevenson county case has be-

compli icated 5in the history Of the
state.
Already 1T has been before several
district court Judges; 1t has been to
the supreme court four times, and
once the count of Stevenson was az
most realized when an auditor Of Nc
