Trea,lway's Motion.

The house was asked by Represen- tatiye Treadway, republican, Massa. chusetts. to take appropriate" action on charges that Senator Caraway democrat. Arkansas. had improperly criticized the house and Speaker Gil lett in senate speech Saturday.
 Over the protest Of the speaker, Representative Treadway offered d resolution which would request the senate 10 act regarding Senator Cara ways speech. which il was charged contained improper and unparlia- mentary'' language. Representative Garrett of Tennessee, the democratic leader. delayed immediate considera- tion by point or order that no quorum was present.
 Senator Caraway had based his re- marks on the recent address Of Mir. Gillett in Boston in which the speak CT referred to the senate as a .'verit- able school for scandal" and declared that some senators were showing a tendency to "besmirch reputations' rather than grappie with legislative problems. In reply the Arkansas sen- ator asserted that the house "has sunk to the lowest point in its history as a legislative body"
 The Treadway resolution declared Senator caraway's remarks were a reflection upon the dignity Of the house of representatives and its pro- cedure and constitutes q breach of and were calculated to create unfriendly relations and eondi- tions between the house and the sen ate."

Mir. Treadway directed criticism in particular to remarks of Senator Caraway which appeared as follows in the congressional record:
 T think the New York Times is without Justification in its criticism of the speaker of the house on his vio- latlng the proprieties and the rules of the body over which he presides, be- cause I never knew that anyone thought that the speaker understood or had any regard for the rules of the body over which he presides. He never has given any evidence that he knew what the rules are or that he had any respect for them"

W|FTEST Plane
IS WITHOUT
MOTORS
French Invention Also Lack
ing PropeIIers, Is Said to
Fly 400 Miles an Hour.

PARIS, Feb. 25.-The first Of En-.
gineer Melot's propellerless ai--
planes, said to be capable Of at
tanning a speed Of 400 miles an
hour, has been received by the
technical branch air ministry here.
Twelve others are under construc.
ton in the suburb of Colonies and
will be ready in two months time.
While the details of the freak ma
chine are jealouSly guarded, the
principle appears to be as follows:
Compressed gas and air are fed
by two tubes into a combustion
chamber where an explosion sue
ceeds. The gases then escape vi.
olently through a series Of valves.
They draw air with them and this
action projects the machine for.
ward. When freed, the mixture of
burnt gases and air comes In con.
tact with the open air and this
shock also pushes the machine
ahead.
Originally q motor was necessary
to compress the air and gas. but

aged to effect compression auto,
matically, and this second discovery
Is kept most secret. It was because
OF 1t that the air minister accepted
the machine and ordered twelve
more.
Melot, who was badly wounded in
the war, began his invention work
In 1913 on government funds, but
these were stopped and only re.
vtved last September, when the
importance Of his experiments was
manifest.
Two great advantages win accrue
II the invention materializes, name.
ly: freeing the machine Of the great
weight OF the motor, and no more
broken propellers; elimination OF
propellers would also greatly in.
crease speed.
Melot's chief difficulty has been
to find material sufficiently light
yet resistant to the enormous tenn.
perature caused by the combustion
Of air and gas.
Melot. who is thirty years old
and living in a modest apartment
here with his wife and child. is
nearly blind from q 1915 wound.
Hes determination to suppress
motors and propellers dates back
from 1915, which year he spent
vainly trying to design a turbine

FEATURES OF INDIAN
ON PREHISTORIC PLATE

ANN ARB0R, Mich, Feb, 25.-
/. The largest and probably the oldest
''copperhead'' in the world, recently
discovered by Houghton county
farmer, Is now in possession of the
University of Michigan. It is a
nugget of float" copper weighing
s4SS pounds. The nugget is forty
two inches in height, thirty-two
inches wide and about three inches
thick. :,
The facial outline Of an Indian
has been formed along one edge of
the nugget. To this likeness some
lone in the centuries past has added
"a human touch by bending back
parts of the edge, in the opinion
OF Dean Edward HI. Kraus, profes.
sor Of crystallography and min
%eralogy.
I The nugget was obtained by the
university at the market price of
copper. It was believed at the
time that it was simply an excep.
tionally large piece Of FLOAT" COP.
Per, and it was not until it was
photographed that its full. value
I was learned. In turning the COP.
I per to get the best light the ''face''
was observed for the first time.
