doing it purposely, there are leaders
on both sides of the House who pro-
pose to stop such criticisms and in
situations.
Just now these members want to
know if Mr.. Creel used the word
stunning" as referring to Congress,
in his New York speech.
Representative Treadway of Massa-
chusetts introduced a resolution yes
terday instructing the rules committee
to investigate statements rejecting
upon Congress. alleged to have been
made by George Creel. chairman of the
committee on public information. in a
speech at New York city. 1t was re-
ferred to the rules committee
Former Speaker Uncle Joe" Cannon
administered a vigorous reproof for
Mr.. Creel on the floor of the House.
During discussion of the Overman bill
the veteran from Danville, ILL.,. said:
III l wanted. to give this administra-
ton any advice I'd say take George
Creel by the seat of the breeches and
the nape of the neck and throw him
into space
This threw the House into roars of
laughter and even the Speaker smiled
as he raped for order. Heretofore the
democratic members have been inclined
to hands off, in regard to Mr.. Creel.

him. Representative Kitchin. however,
on Monday indicated that the demo-
Gratis realize that Mr.. Creel has been
tempting patience. when he agreed with
speakers on the republican side that II
this Objectionable reference in Mr..
Creers New York speech was true en-
phatic action should be taken.
Mr.. Creel was recently censured by
the House for implying in an ofacial
communication that Representative
Treadway had made absolutely base

Mr. Treadway referred to this fact IN
calling to the attention of the House
the fact that he had introduced his
resolution.
when any employee of the govern
ment makes such statement as I be-
lieve Mr.. Creel did" said Representa-
tive Treadway, 'he is entitled to
proper rebuke. Such remarks as he
made tend to discredit Congress before
the nation and the world, and should
not be lightly passed over by this

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
Continued From Page ~

When the Lancaster County Tobacco
Growers hold their April meeting it is
likely that enough districts will be con-
cred by reports to give something of a
line on the possible acreage. The local
packers have settled down to the con-
viction that this county will plant fully
10000 acres, and the more sanguine
tack 5000 more acres to that, in the
belief that nothing under the sun will
keep the farmers from going the limit
with such prices as they expect for the
1918 crop staring them in the face. 1t
may be, say these prophets, that the
fields will be sighted in cultivation,
but as the packers pay big prices for
anything that looks like tobacco, the
growers are determined to have the
goods.
Julius Marqusee appears to be in the
market for all the 1917 packings he can
get hold of. Mr.. Marqusee is credited
here with having made fortune off of
the 1916 tobacco because of his far
sightedness in sensing big jump in
prices, and his heavy buying of 1917
tobacco apparently evinces his belief
in the future value of the new crop.
