MEMBERS SHOUT LIAR
DENY CHARGES OF RAlDlNG
TREASURY FOR SALARY
REPRESENTATIVES, HOWL AP-
PROvAl AS TEXAN ATTACKS
COLLEAGUE.
Western Newspaper Union News Seuice.l

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Hoots, cal
calls and word liar" were shouts in
the House in the stormiest session in
years. The uproar started when Rep
r~esentative Summers of Texas, having
left Il sick bed, appeared and support
ed by most members of his own state,
attacked his colleague, Representative
Blanton.
Rumors had been circulated that the
Texans We're preparing an attack, but
it was held off until Mr.. Summers
could direct it.
When he stepped forward, holding
a faded newspaper clipping, nearly
every member was on the floor.
Read by the clerk, the clipping re-
yealed that Mr.. Blanton, in Il letter 10
Texas newspapers, had charged mem
bers with "A plan to aid the treasury
and obtain salary increases, which he
alone had prevented heretofore, The
press was asked To help, and Ipany
papers responded with bitter assaults
on those charged with backing the al
legged salary grab.
There was a tense moment rs the
reading was concluded and Mr.. Sum
mers stepping close TO Mr.. Blanton's
seat, shook his fist in the latter's face
and shouted:
And when you sent that statement
to Texas you knew it was ~false!"
The House broke into a wild shout,
half the membership rising. Blant0n,
jumping up and trying to make him
self heard, demanded the right 10
speak. He was howled down, the chair
sustaining a point of order that he
could not be heard at that time on II
question of personal privilege.
Mr.. Summers declared the record
showed no effort had been made to
slip through a salary increase bill, and
that Mr.. BlantOn's claim that he was
forced to remain constantly on the
floor to block it, was absurd and I'M
true. The question had come up twice,
Mr.. Summers said, and ii was blocked
on points of order by Representative
BNTIeS, lJtlHoCIdl, ltilhcSS'', hh'
Representative Wood, Republican, In

Mr.. Blanton, he asserted, was not
even 'in on the wake
The demonstration reached remark
able proportions when "A tap OF The
gavel marked the close of the lime al
lotted for the speech. Democrats, first
on their feet, were joined Instantly by
every Republican. There was II rush
TO the front, as members struggled to
shake Mr.. Summers hand.
Above the tumult, Blanton strove
vainly to make himself heard. As Mr..
Summers turned toward his seat 9th
er members started toward him to Of
fer congratulations, Mr.. Blanton, his
voice still pitched high, again attempt
ed to gain a hearing. Again he was
howled down, as "A dozen Republicans
insisted on enforcement of the rule
that he take his seat.

missions demands.
IF Germany refuses to accept" he
says, then the Versailles treaty au-
toInatically comes into force. The
French government can count on the
firm determination of Parliament to
reject any further delays Germany
may claim and also obtain from Our
allies full Endorsement of Frances de-
mands.
German insolence is taking an as
cending line, which, if maintained.

Inundated by the yanquished and the

I'VE do not wish Germany to weep,
but we have a right to demand that
she does not mock us"
London.-Aristide BRAND, French
premier, and General BarthelOt ar
rived here with the announced pur-
pose of not reducing reparatiOns that
the Germans must pay. But the pre-
mier is disposed to examine attentive
ly the conditions of payment, should
the German delegates come with pro-
posals reasonably within the scope of
the allied decisions.
Although he does not regard the II
an export duty, because it may he
paid from internal or any other reve-
nue., yet, in view of American criti-
cism, that clause may be modified II
another suitable standard to meet
Germany's expanding prosperity can
be found.
The French and British governments
are not in entire agreement on the
Sevres treaty. Ii is the impression
that Premier Lloyd George will ask M.
BRAND to yield in some respects ON
the Turkish treaty in return for stead
fast British support on the repara-
tons.
France now has $4,000 men in Tur-
key. but IL the war is to be continued
there another 10000 probably would
be required. The French cabinet does
not desire to spend any more lives on
Turkish mandates, and prefers to
reach an agreement with the National
lists.
The word revision is TO be avoided
as regards the Sevres treaty, on the
ground that to revise any treaty tends
to render less permanent and solid
all postwar treaties. Instead of IRE
VISION the word adjustment will be
used.

Alfalfa men, fruit men and others

perhaps, that the cousins of this
bug may be drafted into their SER

very wise if man pauses before
