The Real ArticIe

Years ago, o. Henry wrote q
story about man. on a tour Of
the Bowery, who knocked out q
worlds champion without knowing
who he was. and tainted from
fright when he learned whom he
had hit.
The first part of the story was
founded on an actual incident,
and the man who figured in the
event Is none other than George
Arliss' valet, George Jenner.
Back in 1905, Jenner had been
in this country only short time.
He dropped into "Jim's." then a
famous New York bar at Forty.

one evening for drink.
The lightweight C h a m p o n,
Young Corbett, was also at fJims. Z"
He was plenty foggy and no end
insulting. He took exception to
Jenner's English accent and
cussed him out. Jenner didn't
believe he had heard Alright, and
requested his unknown reviler to
repeat. Young Corbett obliged.
Jenner, who Is SIX feet tall,
promptly leaned one on Young
Corbett's jaw and sent him flying
over table. He crashed to the
floors still. He was out for half
an hour.
You'd better get out OF here, :"
Jim advised. polishing glass. IF
that guy comes to it'll be hard

Jcnner calmly drank his ale.

but viii add proviso that the i'm
munity granted to members of Congress
for what they may say in debate shall
not prevent them from being sued in
court for libel by private citizens. In
other words, the immunity would con-
tinue to run SO far as any remarks
made In debate in the Senate and
House regarding any officials or em-
ployes Of the Government, but private
citizens so attacked would have right
to seek redress In the courts.
There would be no restriction, he
said, against attacks made upon cor

private citizens from unjust attack by
making 1t possible for private citizens
to hold members of Congress to account
for what they may say about them In
the debates In Congress.
