Interrupted by Applause.

Practically the entire membership of the
House was on hand and listened atten-
lively to the reading. 1t was not, how
ever, until that paragraph was reached
wherein Washington expresses his senti-
ments with reference to third term that
there was any incident But half way
through the reading of this portion Of the
address Mr.. Clark was interrupted by APP
plause that crashed spontaneously from
both sides Of the chamber, and Mr.. Clark
paused until the applause had subsidized
and finished the paragraph. Then there
was another outburst.
Il am afraid said Mr.. Clark this
a afternoon, that we are too prone to for
get the wise counsels of great men of
the past who made the nation what 1t is
today 1 think WashingtOn's address
might be read with profit at the present
time by some of our public men. We are
giving a transient state of political hys-
terra more attention than it deserves and
crediting to the apostles of this hysteria
a great deal more than is their DUE

There was demonstration in the
House Of Representatives today during
the reading Of Washington's farewell ad-
dress. when that paragraph was reached
wherein the Father of His Country de-
clared unequivocally against the third
term idea. Neither the republicans nor
the democrats led the applause. It was
apparently a spontaneous outburst from
every quarter Of the chamber The only
members who didn't shout. or clap their
hands. or beat their desks were the re-
publican insurgents.
There was some little embarrassment
in the House, after it had been unani-
mously agreed that the proceedings
should begin with the reading of the
farewell address, when it was discovered
that there wasn't copy of the document
on hand. Although 1t has been the GUS
tom for years to read the address in
both branches of Congress Immediately
after converting. Speaker Clark and every
other official had forgotten to provide a
copy of the immortal document.
Presidents Message Substituted.
I'VE find we haven't a copy of the
address," said Speaker Clark, after
consulting with Parliamentarian Crisp
and his other aids. while we are
sending for it l will lay the message
of the President before the House. y
The message referred to by the Speak
er was one dealing with the Post Office
Department.

Representative Rucker of Missouri Sc
cured recognition and remarked that he
was in favor of having the address read
but that he wanted the gentleman from
Florida, Mr.. Clark. to read it. APP
plause greeted this remark, as Mr.. Clark
is noted for his exceptionally clear and
powerful voice, as well as for his ability
in the line of sarcasm and invective. Sc
he stepped up to the clerks desk and
started in.

SENATE REMOVES
OLD BAR TO REWARD
. FOR HEROIC ACTION
Rule Forbidding Acceptance
of Gifts by Government
Workers Suspended.

The Senate has Just passed an
act which allows deed Of heroism of
nineteen years ago to be acknowledged
by the Canadian government. Elliot C.
Hadley. lightkeeper Of Bakers island,
near Gloucester. Mass, and Mrs. AL
bert c. Whitten, Of SomerviIle, Mass,
widow Of A. c. Whitten. have now re-
ceived the silver watches which the
Canadian government wished to pre-
sent to Elliot and Whitten in August,
1893.
The United States Government rules
forbid acceptance Of presents by an
official from a foreign state, and spe-
cial legislation was necessary to re-
move the obstacle.
The watches are given for the rescue
Of the crew Of the schooner Lottie B.,
of st. John, New Brunswick, which
went aground near the lighthouse.
the schooner struck the captain and
one OF his crew put out in a small
boat and rowed to Rockport in search
Of a towboat. The sea was calm at
that time.
While the captain was gone the wind
on the rocks, so that smashing UP and
sinking was only a question Of few
hours.
Realizing this. the nghtkeepers put
atioat in their d9ry and; after a s hard rd
they embarked again with the crew
and. after a still harder struggle, made
landing. In few days the Cana
dian government sent on the watches
in recognition. Whitten and Elliott ap, Ic
keep them, and were told the rules were
against it.

FARMERS UNION IN
FAVOR Of BORAH'S
CHILD BUREAU BILL
Officers Confident Humani-
tartan Measure Will Pass
in Congress.

Representing the Farmers Union, one
OF the various organizations interested
in the creation Of a children's bureau,
the president an6 vice president of the
organization are now in Washington
and will lend their moral support to the
Borah bill. which will be voted on by
the Senate tomorrow,
The Farmers Union has declared a
children's bureau In the Department Of
Labor to be necessary. and President
Barrett and Vice President Callicotte
expressed confidence today that the bill
will pass both houses Of Congress at
this session.
As an interesting sidelight upon the
visit OF President Barrett and Vice
President Calljcotte to Washington, it
was learned today that the Farmers
Union, at it's recent Shawnee meeting,
unanimously adopted resolutions asking
the creation OF "a national bureau of
child protection to collect data and facts
concerning the proper care, education,
and training of children, and for the
dissemination of knowledge on State,
national, and municipal laws and tnsti-
tutions for the protection, care and
training of children, including abused,
neglected, dependent, delinquent, ard
defective children"
When the officials of the union reached
Washington they found that the Borah
duced, and that the terms of the meas
ures coincided with the unions view OF
the legislation needed, so the officials
fell into line for the bill.

His Fourth Statement.
As the Watterson- Wilson. Harvey con-

on the verge Of giving out for publica-

the time Of the Jackson Day banquet

Not long thereafter Colonel Watterson
gave out his first statement. in which
he told details Of the break between
Wilson and Harvey. questioned the fit
ness Of Wilson for the Presidency, and
charged the governor with ingratitude
in fatty telling Harvey that bis sup
port was hurting him.
Reports then went round that Wilson
had Croken with Harvey because he was
aware that the purpose Of the confer.
ence which Watterson and Harvey had
asked him to attend at the Manhattan
Club was to get him to confer with
Thomas F. Ryan with a view to get

A second statement followed from
Colonel Watterson In which he ad-
mittted that he himself had sought a

This led to prompt denial from Gov

From various friends Of Wilson have
gone UP demands on Watterson for
