TRUTH BECOMES ISSUE
"Wingo'e Personalities Force
Vote to Keep His Reflection
From Record
By a Staff Correspondent
Washington, March 3. Tho blttcrcbt
partisan fight ami most bitter exhibi
tion of personal feeling thu". Iho pres
ent session of Congress haH witnessed
wbh brought about today, when Con
gressman Louts Mcl'adden, of Canton,
Ta., arising to a question of personal
privilege, made an nttaclc upon the
Comptroller of tho Currency, John Skel
ton Williams.
On February 1, tho ilay on which
Comptroller Williams was nominated by
the President for another fle-j-ear term,
Mr. McFaddcn Introuuced a resolution
In tho House charging that Williams
was unlit to hold tho position, asking
that his conduct be investigated by
Congress und urging that tho otllco of
Comptroller of the Currency bo abolish-'
cd.
Today McKaddcn read to tho House a
press notice Issued by Comptroller Wll
Hams Saturday night charging that Mc
Kaddcn was actuated by the measures
taken, by tho Camptrollcr to forco a
Canton bank, of which McKaddcn In
president, to abide by the national bank
ing laws. He then read a notice he r.io
to tho press In reply.
Democratic 1 minister
Almost continually, objection to per
mitting McKaddcn to proceed was made
by Congressman Wlngo, of Arkansas, a
member of the Hanking and Currency
Committee, who kept Insisting MeKad
den was not confining himself to a cpu'S
tlon of personal prillege. The matter
soon retailed Itself into a parliamentary
light by tho DemorratH to check Mo
Kadden's attack on Williams anil a Jinn
and bitter effort by tho Republicans to
penult McKaddcn to continue.
Half an hour was spent In dcllvory
nf parliamentary rulings by Speaker
Clark upon scvcral&vinotlonH, made by
each side, that resolutions adopted by
Pennsylvania and New York banker.
Indorsing McFadden's stand, could or
could not bo put in the record as read
by McFadden. Speaker Clark finally
ruled they should be excluded.
After Congressman Miller, of Minne
sota. Republican, had taken the floor
and argued that Speaker Clark was
wrong In his ruling, Wlngo said:
The devotion of the gentleman from
Minnesota to tho truth la so nutorlous
that I shall not reply,"
Instantly there wan a shout from an
over the Republican sldo and more than
a hundred Republicans roso to their
feet and demanded that Wlngo s words
be taken down.
Hot words passed from ono sldo to
tho other and back. Wlngo said he
would retract his remarks, because he
meant no reflection on Miller, but a mo
ment later said ho would not. because
Minority leader Mann hud threatened
trouble If ho did not. ""
Recording; Heroines lame
Speaker Clark said ho would put It
to a voto to determine- If tho words
should be Uken down and abked fur a
viva voce vote on that suggestion. Al
though the yeas wero plainly In the
majority. Speaker Clark declared the
nays had It. So tho roll was called to
settle if the words should be taken down.
Members declared that Speaker Clark s
ruling that the "nays" predominated
was the worst ruling ho had made In this
Congress. ,. . ,
As tho rollcall began Minority Leader
Mann shouted a challenge to tho Demo
crats, asserting that If tho Democrats
wanted to rough-house and try to
"steam-roller" things, tho Republicans
were ready for them.
The rollcall taken Saturday night,
when the Republicans outvoted tho
Democrats by ten votes and seated a
nepubllcan member In tho Houso after
a Democrat had sered all but threo
days of his two-year term, caused tho
Republicans to believe they could mus
ter moro 'votes now than tho Demo
crats. ,
LEAGUE LOCKS
DOOR TO JAPAN,
TAFT DECLARES
Sees No'Dauger of Immigration
in Authority Granted by
World jCovenanf
Cincinnati, March 3. (By A. P.)
Former President Taft, in speaking Be
fore tho Cincinnati Chamber of Com
merce here 'today, reiterated, his state
ment, that the people of the United
States need have no fear of Japanese
Immigration under the covenant of the
league of nations.
"It would require the votes of from
thirty to forty of the signers of the
covenant to overrule the wish of the
United States in this matter," said the
former President.
In this connection Mr. Taft said that
It would require a unanimous vote of the
sler." nf the league and that, therefore,
the danger was so small that any actu
nrr would guarantee that It could not
take place. , . ,,
Referring to the covenant Mr. Taft
said that Its main Idea was the consid
eration cf war or peace. He said that
this- 'ccvenant presumed an organired
league of nations, tho elimination of
secret treaties. and the co-operation of
rations in keening peace-and preventing
war. Mr., Taft proclaimed that, at this
time at the end of hostilities. It seemed
most appropriate to perpetuate tho ef
forts already made to make peace as--lured.

Is the text of President Wllioti'ii fpeech
today nt the whim Uouro to tho confer
ence of Governors and M.nors, which Is
considering plans' for the readjustment
of Industry.
Mr, f-'ecictary and gentlemen of tha
conference :
I wish that 1 could promise msetf
the pleasure and tho prollt of taking
part In jour deliberations. 1 find that
nothing deliberate Is permitted since
my return. 1 hao been trying under
tho guidance of my secretary, Mr. Tu
multy, to if,, a month's work In a
week, and 1 am hoping that not all
of It has been ilone badly, but lnas
muih as there is a nciessary pressure
upon my time, 1 know that you will
excuse mo from tuMng part In jour
eonfelciiee much an 1 should bo prellt
id by ilolug so.
My pleasant duly Is to bid jou a
very heaity welcome ami to express
my gratification that so many execu
tives of cities and of states have
found tho'tliiio and the Inclination t-j
coinn together en the very Important
matter we havo in discuss. Tho
pilmarj' duty of earing for our pen.
pie In tho Intlmato matters that we
want to discuss here, ot course, falls
upon tho stales atiSIupoii thu munici
palities, and the function of tho feder
al government Is to do what It Is try
ing to do In a tonferenco of this sort
draw tho executive mind of tho
countrj- together, so that they may
prollt by each other's suggestions and
plans and so that wo may offer our
services tn i-o-ordlnatn their efforts
hi any way thai they.in.iy deem It wlfo
to co-ordinate.
In either words, It Is the privilege!
eif the l''ederal Government in mat-'
eif tills tort to be tlm servants of tho
executives of tho states anil niunii'i
p.illtles ami counties, and we, shall
pel form thai duty with the gualesl
pleasure If jou will guide u-e with
your siiggeist Ions'.
Urge-, life J-cope
1 hopo that tho iliscusslon ot this
eoiifereneo will take as wide a scope
as jou think uciessary. We are not
lo illse-iiss uny single or nariow ub
jeet. We are met to illscuss tho prop
er nietheid of restoring ull the labor
conditions ot the countrv to a normal
basis as soon as possible, and to ef
fecting such flesh allocations of 4abor
und Industry as tho circumstances maj
tnakn necessarj'.
I think f ran testify from what 1
havo seen ou thu other sldo ot the
water that we arc mbrc fortunate than
other nations in lespect to these great
problems. Our hi'lustrles havo been
illsturbed and dlsorgrnlzed disor
ganized as compared with a peace
basis very seriously Indeed by tho
war, but not so seriously' us-Vift-Jn-dustrles
of other countries, and It
seems to me, therefore, that wo shoulel'
approach these problems that vie are
about to discuss with a good deal of
lonlldencc with u good ileal of e-on-lldenco
that If we havo a common pur
pose wo can rcalUo that common pur
pose wlthoist serious or Insurmount

Klio showed no emotion as tho facts
were related. Her chief interest was In
tho baby she held In her arms and the
three other tmall childicu who sur
rounded her.
Titer woman, Mrs. Catharino Papalle,
thirty-four years old, was held without
ball to await the action of tho coroner.
"It Is the only thing I cado," said
Magistrate Imber, "but I'll mako out a
transcript nnd hurry the papers to the
District Attorney's office, so that she
cn be released Immediately on ball."
It wan tho opinion of the magistrate
and patrolmen that tho woman acted
only tn self-defense.
Her story, as told by Detectlvo Blue
bond .follows:
Shortly before midnight last night
two men called at Hie little home at
611 Knter street, where her husband,
Giuseppe Papalle, has a small shoe shop.
The dead man, .who Is said to have
been Giuseppe Carnvall. thirty years
old, of Ardmore, demanded that she give
him a pair of ehoes.
Mrs. Papalle said she had no shoes to

It Is dllllcult to glvo Franco it sharo
and refuso a sham to others, nnd it Is
dilllcult'to sink ships that vou!d go to
England and tho United States and
r.ot to sink thoso which would other

by convincing Kronen that, in scaling
idown Iho Ilrltish navy, Krance's naval
, position would be adequately r-curea
without the addition of tho German
ships.
The lsritlsh tendency to accept tho
United States as an eeiual naval power
and to scale down the Biltlsh navy to
