Roused by veiled attacks upon the
honesty of some of the representa
tives, the House was plunged into a
heated debate this morning. Repre
sentative Helflln charged that certain
Congressmen might have been inter
ested in Bernstoff's slush fund. Nor
ton declared that the House's honor
has been slanderously attacked, and
demanded that Helflln explain his re
marks. "Whatever lends to a breakdown
in the confidence in this house," he
said, "breaks down the government."
Helflln replied that he can name 13
or 14 men who lnferentlally took
German gold. "We may condemn
pacifists and traitors, but there Is ao
greater crime than to have represent
atives charged with corruption In
this 'body. It destroys the people'
faith in the government," he de
clared.. The House vigorously ap
plauded the latter speech.
