EXPUNGE
FROM RECORD HARSH
WORDS BY MEMBERS
Long and Clark Bury Hatchst
But Two Southern Solons
Continue Enmity

Washington, April 6.-(R-Senator
Bennett Champ Clark Of Missouri and
Huey p. Long Of Louisiana Friday
expunged from the records the harsh
words they said about each other In q
heated personal exchange Thursday,
but the record still contains the bitter
exchanges between the Louisiana
"Kingfish" and Senator. Pat Harrison,
Mississippi. All are Democrats.
Their head-on collision Thursday
. violent impact which drew other
Democrats into the row-was called
e. bitter and personal . fight q had
occurred between senators In ! long
time.
Once Senator Hastings (Rep., DELI
rose to interrupt:
Gentlemen, I wonder II we can't
adjourn to some prize fight ring and
have it out"
Long. fighting the nomination,
Of D. D. Moore as internal revenue
collector for Louisiana, charged that
=. r. Bradley and Col. John p. Sulli-
van, sportsmen. have dominated
Moore's office since he was named.
Peeved with Roosevelt
Longs opposition, which indirectly
started the fire that famed on the
floor with shouted charges Of stick
ing people In the back" and Lying"
Is generally believed to be traoeable
in part to the Louisiana senator's
break with the Roosevelt administra-
ton.
Long, displeased ut happenings be-
fore the finance committee, Of which
Harrison Is chairman, swung into &C.
ton. He started flinging taunts at
the Mississippi veteran because Of his
opposition to Longs share the
wealth" ideas Of taxation. Then
Senator Clark took some potshots at
Long.
Here are some sample remarks:
Clark: There II no more connec-
ton between the very important rev
enue bill before the senate and this
seven-hour harangue than there u
between the best thing to do for re-
covery Of the United States and who
hit the senator from Louisiana Of
Sands Point"
Clark charged that Long hid un-
der the bed" during the war. Long
said he didn't fight because i wasn't
mad ct anybody"
Clark brought up Longs refusal to
waive his senate immunity outside
Louisiana courts in connection with
the Ansell libel suit.
That" said Clark, is what chang
ed the senator's name from Kingfish
to Crawfish."
Long ito Harrison) There are two
ways Of being . friend. One = to
ret your friend In trouble, stick him
In the back and drink his blood. The
other Il There Long was In
terrupted by being called down from
the chair.

DESTROYED
BY MORNING BLAZE

A grainary containing a large
amount of wheat was completely
destroyed by fire early this morn
ing at the Albert Bros. ranch on
the bench near Fox, according to
word received here by Sheriff
Jack McFate.
The flames were discovered at
about LAS a. m. this morning and
had gained such a Roadway as to
make efforts of a hastily formed
bucket brigade Of no avail, it was
said. Although the building was
completely destroyed, it was stat
ed that much of the wheat could
be salvaged.
Other buildings on the ranch
were endangered for a time, but
the fact that the grainery was
situated at the outskirts of the
ranch yard and that the wind was
favorable resulted in the destruc-
ton of the grainery only. A hog
pen nearby, however, was dam
aged. No animals were reported
lost.

SUSPECT HELD ON
ROBERTS H0LDUP
Investigate Man Picked UP
At Fromberg BY
Officers

A mar giving the name of Dale
Jackson, accosted at Fromberg by
Carbon county officers, was being
held for investigation in the coun-
ty jail this week in connection
with the holdup of the Hogan
beer parlor at Roberts last We'd
nesday night.
Sheriff Jack McFate and his
deputies were also working on the
theory that the three men who
kidnapped a deputy sheriff at
Basin, Wyo., and the town mar
shall of Lowell, Wyo., early last
Sunday morning, later releasing
them, may also be the men sought
for the Roberts holdup in which
two men took $3.50 from the cash
register of the beer parlor at the
point of a gun.
The pair entered the Hogan
place about 10 p. m. Wednesday
Mike G. Hogan, proprietor, was
alone in the place at the time. AS
he was about to fulfill an order
for beer for the men, one Of the
pair drew a gun casually and
asked Hogan if he cared to buy it,
On Hogan's declination, he then
ordered the parlor proprietor from
behind the bar while his compan-
ion rifled the till.
The pair then sauntered from
the place after helping them
selves to cigarettes and disap.
peared into the night. Hogan de-
scribed the gunman as short anC
slim while his companion was tall
err in stature. Both were un.
masked and both were dressed il
overalls. One was hatless.
The officers said today that
description of the men in the Wy
oming affair closely tallies will
that Of the Roberts holdupmen.
