WASHINGTON. Aug. 10. Represen tative Rainey. of Illinois, a Democrat. and ReDresentative Austin, of Tennes see. a Republican, fouaht a wordy bat tle in the House today ana excnangea bitter personalities. Kach had 54 min utes allotted under a special rule. Rainev charged that Austin was per sonally interested In the water-power legislation. In a recent colloquy itainey said Austin had declared that if he as a Representative had favored the "water-power trust" he would consid er he had disgraced himself and if Mr. Rainey could produce proof of his suilt he would resipn. "I don't ask the gentleman to resign from his body." said Rainey today, delivering a carefully-worded speech. "I don't think, however, that the cause of water-power conservation In Tennessee would suffer if the gentleman's connection with the House would cease. iDtlmary With Lobby Charsed. "No member of the House is on closer terms of business relationship with the representatives of the sreat water power trust than the gentleman from Tennessee." said Rainey. "The trail from his ConRressional office here leads to the office of F. R. Weller. of Wash ington, the office of Charles H. Treat, ex-Treasurer of the United States; of the firm of Cromwell & Sullivan, dealers in inter-oceanic canals and water-power properties; to the bank ing firm of the Kuhns in Pittsburg and to .1. P. Morgan & Co.. the bank of the General Electric Company." Austin sprang to his feet immediate ly at the conclusion of Rainey's speech and with intense bitterness referred to Rainey s indictment of Charles P. Taft In connection with the Panama Canal acquisition and declared those charges had not been proved. "And the gentleman from Illinois." he added, "was unmanly enough not to retract his slanders." "Drlanrr" la AtnttliTa Retort. He referred to Mr. Rainey who sat i t ... coota Awav nit the "de- famer from Illinois." and declared that his water-power bills had been passed upon by the House interstate commerce committee, "every member of which was the peer of the gentleman from Illinois." Mr. Austin acknowledged that all the men mentioned by Mr. Rainey had called upon him and that the "lobby ist." referred to by the Illlnoisan also had been In his office. He said he had not invited the lobbyist to call. a but that he "had not insulted him." "And neither would the gentleman from Illinois." he shouted, his voice , tremblinz with anger, "for he 'voted for the lobbyist's" Arkansas power bill the day after he had dined with him at Harvey's. Furthermore. he spoke In support of the proposed legislation and changed In the record his reference to his host so that the latter was re ferred to not as a lobbyist, but as "a very pleasant gentleman." WARSHIP'S SIZE LIMITED ViiIth of Canal and Depth of Har bors Set .Maximum Marks. WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. Naval ex perts are of the opinion that with the $15,000,000 provided in the naval appro priation bill for a monster battleship for the Navy, little can be done in the present stage of the art of naval con struction beyond the. production of a vessel of the type of the Oklahoma. 27, 000 tons, now being built. The limitations imposed by the Pan ama canal prevent the Increase of the ship's beam, and the depth of water In American harbors limits the ship's draught to about the dimensions of the Oklahoma. Perhaps 100 feet might be added to the length, largely increasing the coal capacity and making possioie a great increase in speed.

FOOD LAW MORE DRASTIC Senate Adds Kar-Reaching Amend ment to Shirley Bill. WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. A far reaching amendment was added to the pure food law today, when the Senate passed Representative Shirley's bill, which includes under the term of mis branding as used in the law, any "false statement, design or device re garding the curative and therapeutic effect," of the contents of a pack age.

(Continued From First Page.) upon the dollar, not as an emblem of liberty, but as an emblem of power, and who look upon government as an annex to their business affairs; these are they who in the past years of Republican misrule have turned the temple of con stitutional "freedom into a money, changers" mart and have made of the co-ftrdinate branches of the Govern ment obeisant lackeys of the jingling guinea. "The second grade consists of those whose outlook upon life has been en larged by the civilization under which we live, who have been taught by the school and the college, by the press and the magazine, who appreciate the good things of life. "Conditions have become unbearable to them. They have reached the point where, in the struggle for that which they believe to be right, they are will ing to destroy the ideals of the Repub lic How many of these there are. I do not know, but I do know that especial privilege in the Republic is breeding them day by day like rabbits In a warren. 'The third grade of citizens it pleases me to call old-fashioned constitutional Democrats. These are they who be lieve that the equality of mankind does not consist in an equality of brain and brawn, but in an equality whereby every man. native and foreign born, has an inalienable right to exercise all of his ability In getting on In the world, lust so he realizes that in getting on he owes It to himself, to his family and to the "public to see to it that lie gets on honestly and that he does not prevent any other man from obtaining the reward of his honesty and enter prise. "These old-fashioned Democrats be lieve in making money, but they be lieve every dollar made should be so clean that an Infant may cut its teeth upon it. And1 they hold that It is no part of government to boost one man and boot another." Alton B. Parker, in his speech of notification, said that the Democrats at Baltimore had welcomed the oppor tunity to substitute practice for preach ing and performance for promise. "Indeed." he said. "They seized it by the nomination of Wilson and Mar shall; seized it with so firm a grip that it cannot be loosened either by the host of Republicanism or by the deluded people who have not as yet discovered either that their leader's battles are waged for himself, not for the Lord, or that his contrary pretense is with the hope that he will thus secure the af8 of the Lord's hosts for a third ter. contrary to the unwritten law of tfTe country and in disregard of his pledge, to the people to obey that law." Mr. Parker's contention that relief could come only from the election' of Marshall and Wilson and a Democratic Congress followed an offering of rea sons, which, he said, negatived all pos sibility of relief from either the Re publican or the Progressive party. Of the Progressive party, he said in part: "Its creator and nominee for Presi dent occupied that office for about seven and a half years, but during that time he could not be persuaded to say a single word in favor of lifting from the people the burden imposed by ex tortion of tariff rates. True, he ad mits In his confession of faith that cer tain interests have I been improperly favored by over-protection; declares himself in favor of 'disrupting the old crooked, log-rolling method of tariff making," and advocates a 'tariff com mission," "wholly different from the present unsatisfactory Tariff Board." It is Impossible to rise from a careful reading of his tariff discussion with out being convinced that he is a stand patter, now as he was when President. "Certainly only a very stupid man would expect him to curb the trusts. Seven-eighths of all the combinations in existence when he wfent out of of fice were created while he was Presi dent. Their creators had confidence in him surely and it is but just to say that it was not misplaced. Did he not stay the hand of his pliant Attorney General when he was about to bring suit to dissolve the harvester trust? Was not a 20-minute conversation long enough to persuade him that the Steel Corporation should be allowed to ab sorb its leading; competitor?""
