His Address Cheered
 Beedy handled him without gloves. Walking from one side to the other, at times looking McFad- den straight in the eye, he de- manded proof of the Pennsylva- nian's charges.
 For 20 minutes he spoke to a House that heard his every word Republicans applauded his jibes.
 Democrats sat silent. apparently enjoying the whole situation. They delight in such situations. Wash ing dirty Republican linen" is thS way they describe it.
 He becomes guilty of a crime for which punishment can never atone,' Beedy thundered in con- clusion.
 It found warm reception. Repub- licans were on their feet cheering him as he walked back to his seat

Reedy Replies
 Beedy was picked by the leaders to set things right.
 It was no impromptu affair - Beedy's reply. He carefully pre- pared his speech. Not in the cham Der himself during McFadden's speech, he sent rush order to the government printer for a proof of the address.
 It was sent to him that night. He read it twice.
 Glasses in hand, with the print CTS proof before him, he advanced to the well of the House the next morning to do the job.
 McF'adden was sitting on the Democratic side in the back of the chamber next to the House Chap lain. He was solemn. Just a few moments before his own state dele gation had rebuked him and his charges at a called meeting
 But if he had any feelings about that action or what was to come he concealed them completely.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 81.
Failure of the last Congress to
provide funds for further develop
ment of the Fredericksburg and
Spottsylvania BATTLEFIELD Memorial,
leaves uncertain the future of
the project planned as a memor.
ial to the soldiers of both North
and South who fought on the
fields embraced in the territory.
Records show that, UP to the
beginning of the present fiscal
year, $330,970 had been expended
on the memorial park, and con-
siderable work accomplished, but
for the IL months beginning July
l last, only about $4,000 was
made available. Whether addi-
tional funds will be made avail
able at the end of this fiscal
year is not yet known.
Up to this year, the Federal
Government had acquired 2,l64
acres Of land, of which BOT acres
have been cleared, grubbed and
trimmed. Within the area 5.3
miles of roads have been graded
and surfaced, 1856 miles graded,
but not surfaced and 2189 miles
of roads constructed.

In His Ear

HAGERSTOWN, Nd, Sept. 81
The young son of Mr.. and Mrs.
S. o. Bernard, Hagerstown,
nearly lost his life while camp
ing along the Potomac River
near Washington with his par
ents.
The boy was fishing from the
bank when a motorboat sped
past, and in some manner, his
line was caught by the boat and
the hook caught in his ear throw
ing him into the water. He was
dragged about so feet before the
hook tore loose. The boys
father and several boatmen res
cued the child, who was taken
to a hospital. Physicians said
his ear may have to be ampu-
tated.
The driver of the motorboat
did not know of the accident
until later when part Of the
boys fishing line was found
wrapped around the propeller.
