Washington, Dec. l6.-Pouring oil

as most folks know, would be the
height OF stupidity.

fall of the gavel in the hands of
Mrs. Walter Hutton, the chairman,
instead of being a signal for order,
was the starting gun in a battle be-
tween two hostile factions.
Both sides were all primed for
the attack. In jiffy, a barrage Of
charges. countercharges, accusa
tions and determinations was ex-
ploding on all sides.
Screams of agony and protest
from the wounded; shouts of de
fance and challenge from the lead
crs. Pandemonium and hysteria
reigned supreme. In the uproar

and her calls for "order" and ere

When it seemed that perhaps the
bloodiest battle Of the Civil War was
yet to be fought--was, in fact, just
