made speech several weeks ago i,
which he paid his respects to the eyi
of absenteeism laying particular stress
upon protracted absence from the hous,
chamber of Representative Richmond
Pearson Hobson of Alabama. It was
this speech, by the way, which precip
itated that historical clash between
Hobson and Underwood on the floor OF
the house as Hobson, under the pre-
text of replying to charges preferred
by Donovan took advantage of the op-
portunity to make a vigorous verbal
assault upon Underwood whom the
hero of the Merrimac is opposing in

Wilson who is to become the fourteenth
White House bride the latter part of
his month. Of course. it was not the
five simoleons which troubled the
Hoosier congressman but he does not
ike the principle of the thing and ac-
:ordingly voiced protest in loud and
rigorous language. He said that in
'tead of pungling up five one dollar
bills (that is about the only sort of
money they have in Washington for
present for the Presidents daughter,
le proposed to use the five toward
making happy few of the youngsters

ot counting the Hoosier members five,
he congressional fund for wedding

mount to SOM thing like two thousand
ollars which ought to purchase quite :,
