MILLS HITS
At RANKIN
IN row

The House was thrown into a
turmoil today by near-fist fight
on the floor between Representa-
tives Ogden L. Mills of New
York, and John E. Rankin of
Mississippi.
The disturbance was a result OF
high tension in the House over
the bitter fight on the impeach-
ment of Judge George w. Eng
lish Of Illinois.
Shortly after the House con-
vened today, Representative Ran
kin made a point of no quorum
and demanded a roll call, which
would have blocked proceedings
for more than half hour.
Mills Charges Foe
Representative Mills strobe across
the aisle from the Republican side
to where Rankin was seated On the
Democratic side and requested him
to withdraw the point of order.
After a short interchange Of re-
marks in low tone of voice, which
was not overheard by other MEM
bers, Representative Rankin shouted
Get back to your own side. You
can't insult me, you dirty, con.
temptible scOundrel"
Representative Mills, his face pale
with anger, doubled up his fists and
hinged at Rankin. Before a blow
was struck, however, a dozen men,
int rot Tod
the cOmbatants.
Both Are Quoted
Representative Mills was conducted
back to the Republican side by sew
eral of his colleagues, while other
members quieted Representative
Rankin.
At one time the sergeant-at-artas,
Joseph G. Rodgers, was summoned.
but his services wer not needed. It
has been several years since a
sergeant-atarms was forced TO take
action to prevent trouble on the
floor, 1t was stated by members.
Representative Rankin refused to
withdraw his point of no quorum,
but a roll call was made unnecas-
sary by the arrival of sufficient
members to enable Speaker Long
worth to count quorum"
me debate on the impeachment
charges then went forward without
further incident.
The following version Of the
ARRAY was given by both Mills
and Rankin.
Now. that's damn mean thing,
Mills declared he told Rankin, ito

You can't talk TO me that way"
Rankin declared. rushing at Mills.
