OF DISGRACEFUL SCENE
Cool Actions of Speaker RespOn.
sible For Quick Ending of
Uprising

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,. June 14.-Bitter
feeling between the "wer" and "drys
il the illinois Legislature reached an
excited stage today. the result of a
near riot in the house last night when
Representative Thomas II. German
of Peoria, Lorimer Democrat. slugged
Representative George W. Wilson, OF
enactment of law to close houses OF
iii fame.
The dry forces, combing with the
anti-Lorimerltes. threaten to expel
German fro mthe house unless he
makes a public apology. They declar
cd today that only Speaker McKin
ley's action in keeping the house in
session, despite of scenes of disorder
prevented riot.
Wilson was talking to one OF the
dry" supporters when German ap
preached and called him n piker.
Wilson told him to shut up German
passed on. but q moment later ap
preached and Knocked Wilson down
/ with blow on the jaw.
Speaker Mckinley ordered the door
keeper to put German out Of the
chamber when he threatened to renew
the attack. Wet" supporters gather
ed around their leader and prevented
the doorkeeper from reaching him
German then left the house.
Wilson announced today that he will
demand Germans expulsion.
The scene on the floor OF the house
last night, while precipitated by the
wet" and dry fight, was largely q
result of the Lorimer feud and the
bitterness of the recent senatorial con
test Several. times In the last month
oren outbreaks on the floor Of the
house have been narrowly averted.

Mrs. E. &. Donaldson Has What

Huntington Picture
ANOTHER PAINTING is
BY BENJAMIN WEST
Valuable Art Treasures Were
Picked Up in Second Hand
Store in Pittsburgh

No. 1913 Highland-ave., Highland
Park, is little house, far back on
lot overgrown with grass and wild
cherry and poplar trees. The house
is almost hidden from the street. A
winding, unpaved path leads to the
front door, 80 overhung by the trees
that visitor must stOop, at times, ia
pass. A few scattered pinks and
sweet-william bloom in the door-yard.
II is the last place In the world in
which to expect treasures of art:
yet in the front room of the little
house hangs q picture by Benjamin
West, the first great painter produced
by America. and another picture by
Daniel Huntington which may be the
original "Mercy's Dream" so famous
40 years ago.
|. The pictures are owned by Mrs.
Elizabeth &. Donaldson, aud they are
for sale because-well. because life Ia
sometimes harder than II ought to be.
When one has enjoyed the comforts
and many OF the luxuries OF a good
income for a majority Of ones years,
1t Is not easy to cope with the prob
lem Of existence when II becomes nec-
essary to face the world alone and
without resources. There's q brave
story In the little house: the furni.

be printed; no one would violate the
confidence OF Mrs. Donaldson. She is
that kind. One simply couldn't do
It,
So to the pictures.
They were bought several years ago
in a secondhand store In Pittsburgh,
where Mrs. Donaldson, who Is some
thing OF an art student, found them
and realized their worth. They once
belonged to wealthy connoisseur or
Pittsburgh; but he died, and his
daughters, caring little for the pic
lures. sold them for what they could
get.
The Benjamin West picture Is a
rather large canvas. II was probably
painted about 100 years ago. II shows
the effects OF time. The paint has
begun to fake and fall In places.

the body Of the picture Ia still In good
CONDITION. and by skillful work It
could be restored. Vests name, in
the old.fashioned script-'weft"--is
almost indecipherable In one corner.
II was discovered after a Detroit ar
tist, believing that the picture had
been painted by LeBrun, went over It
with magnifying glass, looking for
a signature.
The scene is the interior OF a cav.
