Chandler, who was sent home with
a note from his teacher explaining
the situation.
Dr. Sipple visited the Chandler res

one at home. Still later in the after

children a boy and a girl appeared
at the desk of Mrs. Albro in the
health offices at city hall.

Elanton Tries in Tain to Obtain
Hearing but Uproar in Hous
Gets Beyond AH Bounds. .
Washington; d. c, Feb. 17.
Hoots, catcalls and the word "liar"
were shouted In the house today in
the stormiest session in years. The
uproar started when Representative
Sumners of Texas, having left, a sick
bed. appeared and supported by most
members of his own state, attacked
his colleague. Representative Blanton.
Rumors had been circulated that
the Texans were preparing an attack
but it was held off until Air. Sumners
could direct it When he stepped
forward, holding a faded newspaper
clipping, nearly every member was
on the floor.
Read by the clerk, the clipping re
vealed that -Mr. Blanton. in a letter
to Texas newspapers had charged
members with a plan to raid the trea
sury and obtain salary increases.
which he alone had prevented here
tofore. The press was asked to help,
and many papers responded with bit
ter assaults on those charged witn
backing the alleged salary grab.
Illantoa la Challenged.
There was a tense moment as the
reading was concluded and Mr. Sum
ners. stepping close to Mr. Blanton's
eat, shook his fist la the latter'a face
and shouted:
"And when you sent that statement
to Texas, you knew it waa as false
as hell."
The house broke into a wild ahout.
half the membership rising. Blanton,
jumping up and trying to make him
self heard, demanded the right to
ei'fak. He was howled down, the chair
curtaining a point of order that he
could not be heard at that time on a
question of personal privilege.
Mr. Sumners, walking back and
forth, continued. Blanton's eyes fol
lowing his every step. The epeech
vas constantly interrupted with
auuuting.
Claim Declared False.
Mr. Sumners declared the record
Fhowed no effort had been made to
slip through a salary increase bill
and that Mr. Blanton's claim that he
waa forced to remain constantly on
the floor to block it was absurd and
untrue. The question had come up
twice, Mr. Sumners said, and it was
blocked on points of order by Repre
sentative Byrnes, democrat, Tennes
see, and Representative Wood, repub
lican, Indiana.
Mr. Blanton. he asserted, was not
even "in on the wake."
The demonstration reached remark
able, proportions when a tap of the
gavel marked the clo.se of the time
allotted for the speech. Democrats,
first on their feet, were joined in
stantly by every republican. There
was a rush to the front as members
struggled to shake Mr. Sumners'
band.
Blantoa Strives la Tain.
Above the tumult Blanton strove
vainly to make himself heard As Mr.
Sumners turned toward his seat other
members started toward him to offe
congratulations. Mr. Blanton, hi
voice still pitched high again at
tempted to gain a hearing. Again h
was howled down as a dozen repub
licans insisted on enforcement of the
rule that he take his sent.
After the hubbub had kept up sev
eral minutes. Chairman Slemp of th
sub-committee in charge of the forti
fications bill, which was before the
house, gave the Texan three minutes
to reply, but nobody could hear half
he said. At the start Mr. Blanton
caused a row by charging that Repre
sentative Campbell, democrat, Penn
sylvania. had asked him to keep away
wnen tne salary bill was called up.
Pale with anger, Mr. Campbell
jumped up and shouted an indignan
denial, declaring there was not
word of truth in the etatement. Ap
parently unruffled, Mr. Blanton
turned toward the republican side and
charged that Representative Strong
ot .Kansas nad requested him not tc
demand a roll call.
Statement Declared False.
Also angry, Mr. Strong walked to
ward Mr. Bianton and told the house
the statement was false.
In the last minute, Mr. Blanton de
oiared Mr. Sumners wanted to run for
the senate from Texas and that this
desire was the basis of the attack.
As this the house again rose with
mighty shout. O.d members aid it
was the most remarkable spectacle
they had seen. Finally, when some
semblance of order was restored
Blanton declared that he, too, had
been mentioned by Texas papers for
the senate. Then nothing could be
heard, for the uproar got beyond all
bou nds.
The attack was the culmination of
many made heretofore by members
who charged Mr. Blanton was con
tinually biorking legislation by points
of order.

ABERDEEN'. Wash., Feb. 17. (Spe
cial.) Fire at Elma starting abou'
:30 o'clock this morning in the rear
of a bowling alley destroyed an out
hree buildings in the block bounded
by Main, Third, Waldrip and Fourth
treets, entailing a loss in building!
nd merchandise estimated at J50.000
to $75,000. The building loss is placed
at J25.000. of which S14.300 is covered
hv insurance.
The origin or tne lire is unitnown.
Favored by a brisk east wind, the
flames raged for three hours, for
time threatening the Imperii hotel.
Thev finally were controlled by the
Elma volunteer department and the
chemical apparatus from Montesano,
which made a 20-minute run to Elma,
reaching there at S:30 o'clock.
The sole building undamaged In the
block swept by the fire was the Wade
building, a concrete structure, occu.
nied by the Farmers & Lumbermens
bank and the A. & S. Robinson fur
nishing store. The heaviest losses
were sustained by Minard & Co., the
Idle Hour poolroom and the Tavern
cafe. Other establishments burned
were the C. M. Moore realty office,
George Dewade's barber shop, Will-
lams barber shop, Cline Music com
pany, branch office; C. C. Rasmussen
shoe store and Berg tire shop. Stock
burned and damaged by smoke and
water in these stores was estimated
to be worth between $25,000 and
S50.000.
In addition to the direct fire losses
merchants on the north side of Main
street lost their entire plate-glass
store frontages, all windows in the
' block across from the fire breaking
from the heat.
A valuable hunting dog belonging
to Oscar Tyler, which had been tied in
the rear of the Idle Hour poolroom
was the sole victim of the fire. The
dog was forgotten until the blaze
had gained such headway as to make
trescue impossible.
Mike Karajanas, proprietor of the
Tavern cafe, may figure as a heavy
loser. In the restaurant safe he had
a large amount of paper money, bonds
and other secur'ties. Karajanas is
waiting for his safe to cool before
opening it, hoping to recover at least
a part of the paper within.
