Washington, April 20.-The per.
sonal attack on Representative The
tus w. Sims of Tennessee by Chas.
C. Glover, president of the Riggs Ma
tional Bank, in Farragut Square on
Friday morning, in which Glover is
said to have slapped Sims face, will
be brought to the attention of the
House tomorrow. A resolution will
be offered reciting the version of the
affair given by Representative Sims
TO his colleagues in the Tennessee
delegation, and probably committee
will be appointed to make prelimi-
nary investigation. ascertain whether
an assault actually was committed,
and report plan of procedure con.
templating the arrest of Glover on a
charge of contempt OF the House OF
Representatives
A conference of dozen members
of the House was held today in the
Office of Chairman John j. Fitzgerald
of the Appropriation Committee, and
1t was the unanimous decision that
action should be instituted in the
House against Glover.
Regardless of party affilation, near
ly every member of the Tennessee
delegation attended. Mr.. Sims, who
prefers that nothing be done in the
matter, was not present. Bennett
Clark, son of Speaker Clark, and par
Iiamentary clerk of the House, who
spent yesterday looking up the pre-
cedents, was on hand with list of
citations from dusty Congressional
tones covering the assault cases in
which Sam Houston of Texas and
others figured.
In expectation OF action by the
House, Mr.. Glover has retained
Henry B. F. mcfarland for Com
missioner of the District of Columbia,
to represent him legally.
The fact that Representative Sims
himself has not asked the House to
act has somewhat handicapped the
members who have decided to bring
the matter to the attention OF that
body. II Mr.. Sims were to rise to a
question of personal privilege and
state that he had been assaulted, a
resolution could be pressed directing
the Speaker to issue his warrant i'm
mediately for the arrest of Mr.. Glow
er on a charge of contempt. But,
since Mr.. Sims has no inclination to
take the initiative, the matter will
have to be handled differently.
No one present at today's confer
ence expressed doubt that the
House would regard the affair as
worthy of immediate attention. II a
contempt trial is ordered, II will take
place in the chamber Of the House,
with the members of that body sit
ting as jury. This was the. proce-
dure In the Sam Houston case.

INSPECTING FACTORIES
Allen Calhoun Finds Unsatisfactory
Conditions In Granite Works

Montpelier, April 18.-Allen Cal
houn of Middlebury, the State factory
inspector, is visiting the manufacture
ing plants. He has been working
along the line of the Central Vermont
railway and finds things not wholly
satisfactory, especially In the granite
shed where he is making a good
many recommendations He says
that as far as the working Of women
and children is concerned he has
found no infringement of the law
thus far.
Mr.. Calhoun visited Bethel this
week, and was not satisfied with con-
ditions there. He is watching closely
to see that nine of the camps are al
lowing tool boys under 16 years of
age to work. In only one case has
he found anything of this sort and
that was II Northfeld Falls.
At Mortified he found conditions a
little improved over those at Bethel.
At the knitting mills he made several
recommendation as to sanitary con-
ditions, but on the whole he found
that place in fair shape.
He visited the wooden mill at
Mortified Falls and there found that
several persons are allowed to work
on the third floor of the building, but
that no fire escapes are provided for
occupants of that floor. He also
found that one fight of stairs was
not passable. He found that BIZ
monthly payment is made instead OF
weekly. He believes that the weekly
system is as applicable to the wooden
mills as to any other manufacturing
plant
He drove from Mortified Falls to
West Berlin where he found one shed
very poorly looked after and some in
Engagements of the law recently en-
Gently enacted.
He reached Montpelier today and
this morning he visited the Liant
Manufacturing plant and with the
foreman went through the shops for
which he had only words OF credit.
He visited the Cotton Manufactur-
ing plant and found that the owners
are guarding their employees from
dust, this being the first place In
which he has found that done.
