NEWSPAPER ARTICLE
ABOUT HERRICK CAUSE
OF BIG STIR In HOUSE
Alleged Romance With
Washington Girl Is
Written Up.

Washington, Feb. S.-An effort by
Representative Herrick, Republican,
Oklahoma, the aerial dare devil OF
Congress-" to reply TO an article in the
Washington Herald, purporting to
describe his alleged romance" with a
Washington girl, created something of a
stir today in the House.
Waving the newspaper article in his
hand, Mr.. Herrick rose TO a point OF
personal privilege, but Speaker Gillett,
after reading the article, held that per-
sonal privilege was not involved, since
the article did not deal with Mr.. Her
rick in his capacity as a representative.
Representative Blanton, Democrat,
Texas, then took up the fight for Mr..
Herrick, declaring he wanted to know
whether a member was to be denied his
rights in the House.
Instantly half a dozen Republican
leaders were on their feet with. points
of order, which were sustained. Mr..
Blanton then appealed from the ruling
Of the chair and the House promptly
laid the appeal on the table.
Mr.. Herrick had to be satisfied with
that for the present, but said he would
make an effort later to call up a reso'
luton to bar representatives of the
Washington Herald and Washington
Times from the House press gallery.

walked off the stage, leaving her
clutches behind. .

Then the Frenchman turned to a
paralytic and repeated the staccatO Ca
Passe" formula. The cure" again, but
this time two cripples were benefited
instead of one. Another man, seated
next TO the patient being treated, got
up and walked too.
While the sick and the lame were
fighting for treatment inside the hall
another detail of police were called to
keep order outside, where scores, I'M
able to get in, knelt on the wet pave

day when, despite elaborate precautions
to keep visitors away from his hotel

Frenchman to beg treatment for his

suffered infantile paralysis as a child.

grew taut. then the wrist began TO move.
Before the boy took his departure he
was able TO move the entire arm slight
ly.
The widely heralded success of Tues
days six cures" and newspaper inter
views with two of those benefited, say
ing they were still cured, brought out
an audience that threatened TO tie up

While the crowd gathered, Thomas
Greenleaf, stage door keeper OF the
hall, who discarded the crutches he had
used for four years after repeating the

about the platform, using one crutcb

Bored musicians in the orchestra pit,
who scoffed Tuesday stared open
