FIGHT RESULTS FROM
7. ]. HEFLIN'S SPEECH
GREW OUT OF ALABAMIAN'S
CHARGE THAT SOME MEM
BERS ACTED QUEER"

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The bit
terest controversy in the house over
the charges of Representative Heflin,
of Alabama, and in which Represen-
tative Howard, of Georgia, figured in
the beginning, came to a dramatic
climax this afternoon when Repre-
sentative Norton, of North Dakota,
who attacked the Southern congress
man in a speech, walked over to the
democratic side where Representative
Hefiin was seated and spoke to him in
an undertone:
Hef1in arose and struck at Norton,
but did not hit him. Norton struck
back and the two members clinched,
rolling over on the floor, with Hef1in
on the bottom.
The house was in an uproar i'm
mediately. Scores of members stepp-
ed forward to separate the two con-
gressmen.
The belligerents, still struggling,
were pulled apart. Hefiin was taken
to the democratic cloak room and
Norton to the republican cloak room
Seconds were employed to cool off
the two men. While Heflin and Nor
ton were regaining their tempers the
house took up the routine business.
House Sees Near Battle.
1t was the nearest approach to
real battle that the house has seen in
years. The clash was caused by an
innocent remark from Norton to Hef-
lin.
did you, at any time, say or in
fer that l had been disloyal?" Mr..
Norton asked.
81 did not" Mr.. Hefin answered,
rising from his seat.
Mr.. Norton remained silent, gazing
fixedly at his democratic colleague.
Mr.. Hefiin became uneasy under his
stare.
"You have no right on this side
of the house." he said. GO back to
the republican side"
"Pll go when l get good and
ready" Mr.. Norton informed the
Alabama representative.

cents. This is supposed to go into
effect 80 days after the passage of
the act.
The second-class postal rate has
been changed to zone system, which
begins July, 1918. Reading matter
will be charged between that date
and July l, 1919, IL cents per
pound or fraction. After July 1,
1919, the rate will be Y cents per
pound. If the space devoted to adj
vertising matter does not exceed 5
per cent of the total space of a mag
azine, the rate will be the same as if
on reading matter. But otherwise
the zone system comes into effect.
This is complicated scale, which
eventually goes to 10 cents in the
eighth zone after July /, 1921.

And then the fight began. Norton
struck at Hefiin and Heflin struck
back. Because they were standing so
close neither blow Landed and no
damage was done. Then they clinch-

few feet across an isle. Norton
quickly recovered and pushed Hef1in
back, regaining his lost ground and
adding several feet to his credit.

The idea Is to stimulate production.
Increase will come from ground not
gardened In the past or, in any event,
not gardened steadily. 1t was felt
that this comparatively new ground
should not be put into competition
with old garden ground.
However, ground that has been
only internationally used for veee-

may.
Another wants to know If he can
enter an addition to his regular
