LIE |S PASSED } BY FIGHTING
 LEGISLATORS
(By Associated Press)


 WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. = The first physical encounter on the floor of the house since the Mondell-Wickersha combat, occurred Saturday between Representative Heflin of Alabama and l Representative Norton of North Da. kota. The pair leaped at each other and wrestled for few minutes, but no blows were struck before they were separated.
 The row had been brewing for sev- eral days, in fact. ever since Heflin made yelled charges that he could name certain congressman who had accepted German money to prevent the declaration of war. The secretary of state had just made the revelation of the Von Bernstorff message to his government, asking permission to spend $5O,000 to influence congress toward a peaceful attitude to Ger many, when Heflin made the speech which has since caused him untold mental suffering.
 His fellow ,snsf mssfmaEpfserf aEfs feefesseshted by press writers and cartoonists through out the country as grabbing out after German marks and thalers. They na- turally resented these insinuations, and have taken Heflin severely to task for making charges which have brought them into a certain disrepute.
 Norton led the fight to make Heflin prove his charges or recant, and for several days the gentleman from Ala bama has led a most miserable exist ence He was forced to admit early in the game that he couldn't back up his statements with proof, and was hooted when he tried to explain him. self Norton gave him a fearful tongue flashing, winding up with heated de- nunciation of his "sneaking insninua- l tions."
 The house is described as being a "bear garden" during the row. The | DdlteU leBlSldtOF tTIcu tO -lnTOW ulo tormentors off by starting star spangled-banner, oys-in-the-trenches" speech, but was met with catcalls, groans and boos.
 The wrestling match was the finale of the stormy scene.
 Delegate Wickersham of Alaska, had occasion to "go over the top" of his desk at Representative Mondell of Wyoming at one time when the latter lgentleman took the liberty of stating that Wickersham was lying in some of his statements concerning Alaska.
 Mondell, representing the interests of the coal mining section of Wyoming was naturally not eager to see ths Alaska coal lands opened up. Wicker sham's work in behalf of such legisla tion irritated him to the point wner, he allowed himself to use ;he brie but ugly word.

STREAMS BEN G WIPED OFF THE
 EARTH
tBy United Press)

1 WASHINGTON, Oct 2. - Red Cross cables today showed that the people or Serbia are being wiped off the map or scattered to the four corners of the earth by the Bulgar.Teuton war mon ster. Set upon the enemy from three sides, their homes have been sacked and burned, their lands and store houses pillaged and their defenceless women and children murdered or left to starye. Despair is written in the faces of the Serbian prisoners of war in Austria. Brutality is their daily lot; and what they get of food Is not enough to keep body and soul to- gether.
 These black stories of Teuton cruel ty and butchery were brought to Dr. Edward T. Ryan of the Red Cross al Salonika by Serbian prisoners re. turned, If Italians prisoners in the Austrian camps had not shared their ssssanss sssys aEss. Rsskagss from home wiih these tically no food" said Dr. Ryans cable, twas provided by their Austrian jail CTS. What was given amounted to eight ounces of bread s day. At noon they had vegetable soup with small piece of horse flesh, generally taint- ed. Morning and evening. a drink Of black fluid known as coffee, made Of chicory, was given with their bread. This was their whole ration. From an army of nearly half mil lion. at the beginning of the war. over 150, 900 men are estimated to have been taken prisoners by the central powers. Nearly all of these are snf- | fering from malnutrition in prison camps. Twenty thousand Serbs per ished in the bloody repression of re- volt at Nish, last February. The Bull garians deported 3O,OO0 inhabitants of Serbia to Asia Minor.
 Fifty thousand fatherless families. it is estimated. are facing destitution. a problem comparable to that which would face the Red Cross and other charity organizations if the fathers Of all the families in Louisville, St. Paul or Denver were suddenly depOrted. Fifty thousand families, population about the size of Indianapolis or Pro vidence. are interned in Austrian camps.
 The Serbian legation in Washington has just issued the following state ment:
 Tn 1910 there were 1.56S.048 inhahi- tants in Serbia; in 1916 1,21S,000. The reduction in the male population in duction in the female population is 10. 900. In Serbia, as elsewhere in the
 southwestern part of Europe. the male population is greater than the female , The census records proportion Of
 200 males to IA females"
 Reports received at Red Cross head
 quarters show that there is need oi ! doctors and nurses to care for the ci
