HOUSE REBUKED
FOR RACE TALK
Speaker Clark Chides Mem
bers for Injecting Discussion
Into Consideration of Bill.
FOR EARLY ADJOURNMENT
Says Congress May Cause a Lot of
Devilment if 1t Remains in Ses-
sion Much Longer.
FOR EARLY ADJOURNMENT
BY JOSEPH p. AMIN.

!, Speaker Champ Clark, who, because of
his official position, is forced to listen to
a large part Of the loose talk" which
perIneates the debates OF the House, ad-
ministered a proper verbal spanking to
his colleagues of both parties yesterday
on the subject Of prOfitless and choler-
breeding arguments.
Mr. Clark's homily came after two
hours of discussion" largely for home
consumptiOn-of the race question. Rep
resentative Frank Clark, of Florida, in
tected the question into debate on the
juvenile court bill by offering an amend
ment requiring the segregation OF white
from cOlored delinquents in correctional
institutions. The amendment, carrying
a motion to reCOmmit, was lost by a vote
Of lT to S., after which the bill was
passed by vote of 2A to IS.
Speaker Clark waited until the color
question had ragged for two hours be-
fore he got up and told his colleagues
that II they would attend to their legisla-
tive knitting and get out to the huskings
at the earliest possible moment, they
would stand a better chance of return
ing to Washington in the fall Of 1917
Also he showed a concern which must be
reflected at the White House. that a
continuation Of the session of Congress
would make the international situation
Nharder to handle.
Wants to Adjourn.
Il regret that this debate has arisen"
he declared. Il make this suggestion:
You have wasted two mortal hours on a
question that is absolutely immaterial.
II you keep on this way We will be in
session when the frost comes. Leave out
these superfuOus debates; stick to the
business before the House and get away
from here. l wish Congress could ad-
journ tonight because as long as we
stay here some gentleman with an in
fammable temper is liable to precipitate a
debate that will ring around the world
and will do wonderful amount of devil
meHt
Now. this hullabaloO you have been
carrying on for two hours is about a
question that is as dead as the men who
lived before the flood. This color ques-
ton is working itself out and it has
got to be worked out by individual COM
munities and States. That is the way it
must be worked out. and the trouble is,
and say it with all kindness. that you
Northern people do not know half as
much about it as We do"
