Senator Stone had spoken for max
ing an exception in favor Of those

ligion Senator Smith of South Caro-
lima opposed that on the ground that
one who drew religious persecution

fiber, while the same could not be
said Of one prosecuted for race.
Senator MARITIME pleaded that the
door of opportunity be not shut 10
those who have not attained an edu-
cation.
Senator Williams attacked the posi-
ton taken by both Senators stone and
MARITIME by declaring it would admit a
flood Of ignorance despite the fact, ne
said, that one Of the great dangers Of
a republic was ignorance.
There is only one exception !

INVITED each Other
TO Personal COMBAT
POSTOFFlCE BILL DEBATE
ALMOST RESULTED IN
IN A FIST FIGHT.
Heflin and Moon Only Kept
Apart by Interference
of Others.

WASHINGToN' Dec. 19.-Aftet
w two days Of hot words which
eliminated today in exchange Of in
vitations TO personal combat between
Representatives Hehin of Alabama
and Moon of Tennessee, the house
adopted a special rule to consider leg
islation for reform demanded by the
postohice department In connection
with the annual postal appropriation
bin.
A detection of Democrats from the
leaders yesterday defeated a similar
rule which provided for consideration
of amendments decreasing postmas-
ters' salaries, the elimination of as
sistant pOstmasters, experimental sub
stitution Of contract service for the
rural delivery service, increased sal
aries for rural carriers, changes in
the compensation paid railroads for
carrying the malls and other reOrgan-
ization plans for the department
The rule was passed late today with
the provisions for cutting postmasters
salaries abolishing assistant post
masters and the rural service substitu-
ton scheme eliminated.
Nearly Had "A Fight.
\ speech by Representative Moon,
following the defeat of the original
rule i'm which he intimated that some
railroad influence" had operated to
shift Democratic votes caused a bit
ter debate today. Representative
Hefin of Alabama, after half an hour
e argument with Mr.. Moon, de-
nounced his statement as false and
untrue" Representative Moon chal-
lcngcd him to make the same COM
ment Off the floor OF the house and
REPRESENTATIVE Henn expressed his
willingness TO do so. Both members
were advancing toward each other in
threatening manner when half a
dozen members stepped in between
them.
Republican Leader Mann, who had
led the fight on the original rule, re-
newed the controversy in concluding
debate on the revised measure.
THE charge has been made on this
floor" he said, that the influence Of
railroad interests has been felt in this
house. believe it is the duty Of the
house, IL the charge is not true, to
rcpudiate the charge and rcpudiate
the man who made it, If it is true,
then the house owes it to itself to in
vcstigate the charge and punish the
men whose votes have been changed
by railroad influence"
\ little later Representative Moon,
in brief speech. disclaimed any in
tention to reflect upon the honor or
integrity of any members of the
house" He said that his speech was
made "in the heat OF debate" and
may have been little too rough"
He offered to withdraw any Offensive
language" he might have used.
