PARTISAN TALK STIRS HOUSE;
VIOLENCE NARROWLY AVERTED
Bitter Comment on Administration Efforts
In the Davies Campaign in Wisconsin Leads
to Heated Exchanges Between Members.

Party politics cropped out in the
House yesterday, violence WAS narrow

ber about the Wisconsin election.
Representative Hefiin of Alabama, who
came forward as the democratic champ
ion. and Representative Frear OF Wis

near to blows.
This verbal alteration came in quick
rebuttal to Majority Leader Kitchin's
assurance that debate would be curbed

war legislation and get away soon
after July l.
Representative Frear attacked Presi-
dent Wilson's effort to elect Joseph e.
Davies as senator from Wisconsin In
rushing to the defense Of the admins
tration, Representative Heflin vigorous
ly assailed Representatives Mason and
Britten of Illinois, republicans as dis
loyal. He also took q fling at Senator's
Reed Of Missouri and La Toilette of
Wisconsin. He asserted the latter

Representative Britten responded with
equally heated language and physical en-
counter was imminent.
Representative Campbell of Kansas IRE

leader of the watchdogs of the Treas
ury. He had a warm round OF debate
with Representatives Pou of North Caro-
lima and Representative Cantrill de-
nouncing as extravagant the price-S4.-
200, 000-paid for the Arlington Hotel
property.
An attempt "to make Wisconsin safe for
partisan democracy" was the way Rep
Wilson's zeal for Davies election. He
did little word chemistry in trying out
certain democratic leaders with the Pres
idents "acid test" He denounced the ad-
paign appealing to the soldier vote with
the admonitfon that Davies defeat
means joy at Berlin as unpatriotic dur

commander-in-chief is backing Davies"
Methods in Wisconsin Scored.
Representative Frear said:
Closely following claims of grave
war inefhciency made to the country
by the democratic leader, Mr.. Chamber
lain, chairman of the Senate military
committee, who startled the country
with disclosures of lack of arms, cloth

our soldiers; on the same day of a sena-

in both branches of Congress on
the day of the greatest battle in
all history, with our own Amerl-
can troops engaged, in France; on a
day when the world waited in breath

Although Otto Eidlitz, director of hous-

considering plans for housing the thou
sands Of clerks the government expects
to bring here during the next six months
his plans must necessarily remain tenta-

Senate disposes of the housing bill.
If the Senate passes the bill in its
present form Mr.. Eidlitz will have to
present detailed specifications to the ap-
propriations committees of Congress for
approval before the $10.000.000 "au-

1t was pointed out that the bill was

workers at industrial plants through

necessary in some places to take prf-

use Of the industrial soldiers"

of by constructing temporary struc-

made available for the District of CO.

In order that no hardships would fall

Bows in Business,

The American Boy says that 'boys
are the backbone of the wintergreen
Gil industry" because it is they who
lick up the wintergreen leaves and
take them to the distilleries where the
CT is distilled Over 80 per cent OF
all the wintergreen oil produced in
me world comes from Monroe County,
Pennsylvania, where the wintergreen
plant is plentiful The plant is only
three inches high, and it is almost as
backbreaking process as picking
strawberries is, to pick fifty pounds
per day, which is days work for a
rimble hoy. There are said to be
.hout 500 Of these "wintergreen boys"
and they work every day from April
to November, picking the leaves,
making them into bales and carrying
them by pushcarts to the stills"
These boys could tell us much about
rattlesnakes. but they have trained
eyes and ears 50 well that it is a rare
thing for one OF them to be bitten.
