Recognizes Heney


 "Ihe chair recognizes the gentleman" retorted Rosewater.
 Colonel Lyon declared that if the com mittee persisted in the way 1t was going there would be repetition of that hls- toric incident, the commune"
 The charge of liar following MT. Kennedy's declaration that Mir. Heney had made his money by Tying to the people, brought about the sensational episode. MT. Heney had. objected to any limitation of time on the hearing of the Washington contest cases, and followed his statement with a declaration about stealing delegates
 Kisses greeted him from various parts of the committee room and in the inter change of remarks that followed Com mitteeman Kennedy declared:
 Well, l didn't make my money by ly- ing to the people"
 What did you say?" asked Heney. By lying to the people," Kennedy shouted.
 You lie!' Heney shouted.
 You lie," Kennedy retorted.
 Starts for Heney
 The North Dakotan arose from his seat in the middle of the committee room and Xt standing by his chair in the front row Members of the committee jumped to their, feet and crowded forward from all parts of the room. some rushing in be- tween Heney and the on-coming Kenne- dy. The latter as he approached Heney cried ont:
 T know where you made your money; I can prove where you did it, in the city of St. Paul.
 You lie." Heney shouted back.
 By this time members of the commit tee had grasped both men and were pulling them in opposite directions Sergeant at Arms Stone grasped MT. Honey by the arm and turned aqshim around and others led MT Kennedy back to his seat.
 The episode was the continuation of a day in which MT. Heney had been several times in altercation with mem bers of the committee. In an earlier fire of comment when committeeman had taken exception to his sharp re- marks and had greeted him with laugh ter he referred to them as "coyottes.'
 The trouble over the Washington cases was the first In which MT. Heney had been greeted with hisses by others on the committee. His seat in that body was on the proxy of Thomas Thorson of South Dakota.
 Senator Miles Poindexter of Wash ington and former Senator Dick of Ohio were al the opposing counsel tables with the rival delegations from the state of Washington and an effort was being made to reach an agreement of the time to be consumed in the argument of the cases when the all tercation arose.
