Senator Shows Irritation.
Senator Gallinger showed irritation in
speaking OF Representative Burleson of
Texas. The senator and Mr.. Burleson
confer annually on the District of Co
lumbia appropriation bill.
IT have always believed in liberal APP
preparations for the District of Columbia.
and have taken pride in standing for
liberal appropriations. for the schools,
streets, etc. Mr.. Burleson has opposed
many appropriations, and has opposed
many of the items because they are large.
We have had to compromise. always
making a complete conference report.
Col. Judson made it appear that Burle-
son had said. You can't afford to oppose
il. because Ii will endanger District leg
islation.
THAT has but one meaning. and is
so sense1ess and unfair that 1T ought
never to have been uttered. Mr.. Burle-

have ever been anything but fair. II
Mr.. Burleson said ii, / think he will
correct 1T. but 1 think 1 am safe in
saying he never said 1t.
The witness said he believed Mr..
Burleson was out of the city at the
time the insurance position was being
sought for.
so think it was a dream of Col.
Judson or misstatement Of Mr.. Burle-
son.
"Col. Judson is an ambitious man. and
very able one. He has a long list
OF assignments which would test the
ability of any one. Yet he wants to
overreach and attend to the duties OF
his associates. This is the first time
ever criticised him. a prominent man

but his mind is so constructed that it
takes infinity to understand it.
Definition of Dendrite.

plot. and he reaches out and tries to
take hand in everything.
THE dendrites of his brain are twisted"
Senator Gallinger read from a medical
dictionary: "A dendrite is a dendron: a
dendron is a branched and tree-shaped
protoplasmic process from a nerve cell;
neurodendron. A dendrite has to do

See what he is doing with this young
man. with widowed mother.
He writes out resolution to depose
the young man and asks his associates
to sign 1t. and they refuse. I think it
would have been a wicked thing to have
signed 1t. without giving him q hearing"
senator Gallinger then reviewed the
attempts to get good insurance legisla-
ton through Congress. He also said
that II lnRbam had he 1nto

given just as much help.
