HOUSE IS EXCITED E MADE BY MEf IBER Norton, of North Dakota, At tacks Hefiin Who Replies Amid Much Confusion Washington. Sept. 24. Boused by veiled attacks upon the honesty of some of its members, the house today plung ed into heated debate of Representa tive Hefiin 's charge that certain rep resentatives might have been interested in the Bcrnstorff "slush fund." Declaring the honor of the house has been "slanderously attacked," Repre sentative Norton, of North Dakota, de manded an explanation of Hefiin. "If I had suspected dishonesty," he declared, "I'd be man enough to in vestigate it, and, if it were true, to present it properly to the house. I would not sneakingly insinuate. "Whatever tends to break down con fidence in this house breaks down our form of government. In the past two years there has been an attempt by certain interests and certain newspapers to undermine and destroy our faith of the people in their representatives, but there never has been a specific charge against any member only general slan ders. "But now comes from a member of this body a specific accusation. Repre sentative Hefiin says he can name thir teen or fourteen men who, inforentially, took of this German gold. "We may talk of pacifists and trai tors, but there is no greater national crime than for a member to charge cor ruption in this body or to do aught in war time to destroy a people's faith in this government." The house here burst into applause. "If such a charge is true, no punish ment is too severe or the. member of this house accused. If false, even as apology from the man who made it would not suffice to correct this crime. If he got down to this house on bin j marrow bones he could not clear from the minds of the people the imputation he has cast on the integrity of this body. . "If this charge cannot be sustained this house cannot mete out to him. too great a punishment." The house burst into prolonged cheer ing as Norton finished. Speaker Clark pounded vigorously for order. Hefiin Explains. Hefiin sought to explain his remarks. But a half dozen accusing members rose to their feet with pointed queries. "Did or did you not make such a statement to the presst" asked one, "The cress said that I said it on the floor," evaded Hefiin. "I said it in the lobby." The house laughed. "I said it in the lobby," he repeat ed, "where there were German spies . A I about. There are spies ail arouuu ueru Representative More of Pennsylvania demanded that the clerk take down Hefiin 's words that there "are German spies here now." - "I didn't mean to say that," said Hefiin. "I didn't mean to say there are spies on :the floor there are spies in the galleries." Representative Cooper of Wisconsin interrupted to demand that the speaker stay within his personal privilege and explain to the house merely if he made LAST TIME.

MMM State House News Commissioner Corey who has been in Eastern Oregon for a week returned yesterday haying held eleven hearings in that time. The principal one was at Sumpter, where the Sumpter Valley Railroad was attempting to move the depot a considerable distance from its old location and practically out of the city. While there is but little left of the old mining town those remaining want to rebuild and want the dopot placed on the old site. Just before the fire Sumpter had subscribed $10,000 for the Red Cross, but the fire left it broke and in need of the money it gave so liberally. The depot will be placed on the old site if built now, but it was suggested it be held up for awhile until just what the town would do in the way of rebuilding was de cided. Another important hearing was that of the application for a logboom ou the Minan river, The state water board meets this af ternoon on the arrival of commissioner Cochrane from La Grande to act on matters pertaining to Silvies and Hood River, In the former case the trouble arises from the big cattle companies trying to keep control of the waters of the entire stream and this is object- the statement and if he could prove it were so. Speaker Clark ruled that Hefiin 's remark about spies in the gallery was not properly t: part of a personal privil ege speech and should be stricken from the records. "I haven't said," declared Hefiin, "that any member actually got money from the Bernatorff fund. I said there had been a minor about a German gam bling house where pacifists and slack ers could win money easily." Representative Gordon of Ohio de manded that Hefiin "stick to the question," and ''not repeat false charges. ' ' Taking another tack, Hefiin said he had a right to say that certain mem bers had acted suspiciously. "They have not conducted them selves in accordance with my ideas of honor and patriotism," he said. There was a chorus from all over the house of "name them!" Hefiin mopped his face with a hand kerchief and appealed to the chair that the house was not treating him fairly. Speaker Clark asked members not to interrupt. "If the house wants me to name cer tain suspicions members, I'll do it," de clared Hefiin "I can't prove anything however." ' The house hooted. "I don't nout publicity," said Hef iin and the chamber burst into "Doos" "If I could speak to the American people in thj manner I wish to speak, 1 would maki disclosures" , "Do it," shouted several members. "No. I've dedicated myself," said Hefiin, "to my eountry and its chief and the boys who have gone into the trenches. ' There was another chorus of "boos" and groans. "Fellow members, let us stand to gether," urged Hefiin amid laughter, "Hefiin then launched an impassion ed appeal for patriotism and loyalty by all members and took his seat. Representative Fordney of Michigan introduced a resolution demanding that Hefiin prove his charges. Unless an agreement is reached to disregard the rules, fordney 's resolution must lie over a day. Representative Howard of Georgia, who was quoted as declaring I'riday that certain members bad acted recent ly "more prosperous than ever before, obtained the floor and claimed that he had been misquoted and had never im pugned the honor of the house. 4 Sell at Special Prices MMMMMM-M- ed to by the ranchers and later set tlers. State Engineer Lewis says there is real trouble at Hood River over water rights. While there is plenty of water for irrigation purposes if it could bo used, there are prior rights of flume companies and mills that prevent the use of the water for irrigation and hence it is a state of war.
