PASS COMPLIMENTS
Minority Leader Criticises Con-
necticut Members KnoWI-
edge of the Law.

Absenteeism was the topic of a live
ly debate in the House today, when sew
eral members put in requests for leave
to go home for a few days and take a
rest. Minority Leader Mann, as usual.
started the trouble, and became in
volved in an interesting set-to with
Congressman Jeremih Donovan of Con-
necticut.
Mann was talking through his hat"
and the minority leader came back with
! bitter satire, including criticism OF
Mr.. Donovan's grammar in recent
speech. According to Mr.. Mann the
Connecticut member had shown" ignor-
ance on nearly every subject upon which
he had spoken"
The. House extended leave of absence
to Congresmen Raker of California,
Brumbaugh of Ohio, and Gambler Of
Mississippi, but the request Of Con-
gresham Metz of New York, that he
be excused, was refused on objection of
Mr.. Mann. Mr.. Metz was not present
today, and If he remains in New York,
where he is running for comptroller on
the Tammany ticket. he will do so on
his own responsibility.
When Mr.. Raker asked permission to
60 home Mr.. Mann said he hoped such
request would not become contagious.
he didn't see how the distinguished
minority leader could acquiesce in the
breaking of the law by members who
leave their duties.
''The distinguished gentleman" re-
torted Mr.. Mann, frequently furnishes
the House with amusement. but never
with information. There Is no such
law, and the gentleman knows about as
much on that subject as any other. He
has sat still in this leave of absence
practice when he enormously believed
tn law was being violated"
"The gentleman is talking through his
hat" replied Mr.. Donovan. He then ac-
cused the minority leader Of jumping
on new members, fresh from the hust-
ings. When Mr.. Mann arose to reply
Mr.. Donovan made point of no quor-
un, but later withdrew 1t.
Various members Of the House then
discussed for nearly an hour their ardu-
Gus labors and the right of members
to take a rest.

TAX collection IS

Congressman Say Confusion

His Orders to Collectors.

To straighten out alleged tangles and
confusion over the regulations for the

able that these regulations will be
materially amended in due time.
The regulations for the collection Of

many particulars, according to state

The Secretary explained that because

JUDGE REBUKES
K|EF PROFESSOR

KIEF, Russia, Nov. 1.-Prof. Sikorski
of Kief University, was recalled to the
ritual murder witness stand today to
complete his testimony. The president
of the high court took occasion to re-
buke the scientist for his bitter anti
Hebrew outbreak last night.
When he took the stand first, Sikorski
launched into a bitter denunciation Of
Hebrews, declaring that he possessed
information that they committed ritual
murders and used human blood in their
religious rites. He said that such muir
ders are always conducted by two or
more persons, and he was sure that
four persons killed Andrew Yushinsky.

twenty years old, is being held by the
police on a charge of housebreaking.
On several previous occasions the

o'clock this morning when he received
a telephone message from the burglar

store had been sounded. Dressing hur-

store. he turned on the light, but failed
to find that any one of the doors or
windows on the first floor had been
tampered with. He then discovered
that the sklight in the roof had been
broken.
Found Him Downstairs.
Investigation showed that the thief
had gotten down through this skyllght
and into the store by separating the
bars Of a heavy iron grating at the
base Of the skylight shaft. No trace
of the housebreaker was seen on the
second floor, but as Mr.. Walford came
downstairs Ciwpi walked out from be-

rear, holding his hands above his head.

to Mr.. Walford, who grabbed him and

buildings in the alley In the rear. He

wires along the roof which he used to

when Mr.. walford and his companion
entered, and when they went to the
second floor he tried to get out Of the
rear doors, but iron gratings on these
prevented him getting away. Finding
himself a prisoner. in the store, he de-
Came Here Yesterday.
The prisoner said he came to wash

had selected the walford store as a
likely place to rob. Had 1t not been
for the burglar alarm system the man
would have gotten away with thousands
of dollars worth of loot, as the firm
carries a large stock Of iewelry and
other small articles Of value, many Of
which could easily be carried away by
one man. The prisoner asserted that it
was the first time he had ever attempt

money, and thought the Job Cooked
