By a StoT Correspondent

ON, June IL.
Because Representative Martin Madden,
Of Illinois, branded the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal as rotten, obsolete canal,
which should not be "unloaded" on the
Government, Representative J. Hampton
Moore, Of Philadelphia, who has been fight
Ing for Federal acquisition for years, pre-
cpltated lively row by demanding that
The words Of the Illinois Congressman be
taken down" That is the initial step to-
ward having remarks stricken from the
record
why does the gentleman want TO de-
Iend the owners of these worthless stocks
and bonds?" asked Representative Madden.
Does the gentleman from Pennsylvania
own any stock in the canal?"
Later Representative Moore withdrew his
request that the words be taken down. but
motion was made that the words of
maiden and Moore be stricken from the
Iscord A motion to lay on the table pre-
epNsted long debate, but was finally
Nrrled, thereby leaving the whole debate
