tioaliy the entire HOUSE membership will
be In Washington. The only excuse that
will be accepted for absence for the rest
Of the session is the illness OF a member
or Illness In his family.
In the closing days OF last week the

OF the absence Of members Speaker
Clark rebuked the a,sentees from the
chair and Leader Underwood gave notice
that he would call up the resolution that
was passed to-day.
LeGfslators in UGly Mood.
Tho passage Of the Underwood resolu-
ton was marked by a bitter partisan de-
bate. The House was In an ugly mood and
adopted the resolution aimed at absentees
apparently with great reluctance. Among
the enthusiastic supporters were Repre-
sentative Heiln OF Alabama. who has Just
returned TO Washington after a months
vacation: Representative Stephens OF Ne
braska, who has been away for two
months, and Representative Borland OF
Missouri. who has spent several weeks
campaigning In his State.
Representative Mann. the minority
leader. made a charge OF bad faith against
Southern members. He asserted that
Southern men had been away for weeks
and weeks. attending to their primary
campaigning. and now that this work was
over they were willing to penalize men,
bers from the North and West.
"A primary nomination is equivalent TO
AN election in the South" shouted Mr..
Mann. The primaries are over In that
section OF the country, but are not over
IN the North. We have 10 nght for
nominations and then face a contest in
the election"
or tho 495 members OF the House only
2ls responded to their names on the roll
call OIL the Underwood resolution. BY
tomorrow II Is believed the members
will be rolling in on every train. With
tho prospect OF losing money by remain

able to do so will return without delay,
according to the leaders.
