B L Congressman And Reporter Mix Up Ninety Pound Newspaperman and 200 Pound Kentuckian En- gage in Fistic Argument Over a Report of Archbald Hearing—Statesman’ Asserts that the Lightweight Scribe Began the Attack—The Lie Passed. Washington, June 4.—In the calm at- mosphere of thé house judiciary com- mittee was bred today a battle that failed to ruffle the Archbald impeach- ment hearing but which caused excite- ment in the corridor outside the com- mittee room. The participants orig- inally were Representative Thomas of Kentuc democrat, and Joseph An- nin, a 90-pound reporter for a local newspaper. Later John Kirby, con- nected with the Washington bureau of a New York publication, joined in the fray, AMr., Kirby admits to tipping the scales at 185 pounds, while the con- gressman is on the distant side of 200 and sturdy. The battle was declared a draw. Congressman Calls Out Reporter. Mr. Thomas, who is a member of the juditiary committee, entered-the com- mittee room some time after the hear- ing had started. He was flushed and apparently laboring under excitement. Waving a copy of ihe local newspaper, he proceeded to read an account of yesterdav's proceedings in the commit- tee which he construed as being a di- rect attack on himself. He paid his compliments to the newspaper frater- nity and withdrew. A few minutes later he sent a messenger in for Mr. Annin, who promptly went into the hall. e p———r o —————————————— e et NEW BATTLESHIP RECEIVES BLOW LIKE THE TITANIC. $mal! Compartments of Arkansas En- abled Her to Keep Afioat. Washington, June 4—When the naval insy fon board arrived at Rockiand, Me., last night to conduct the official trial of the big battleship Arkansas they found that in passing through the Two Bush channel entrance to Penob- ot bay Sunday afternoon the Arkan- sas had touched bottom. 'Captain Fechteler, president of the trial board, ted to the navy department today the ship struck rocks about one- quarter of the way back from the bow en the left hand side, just under the turn of the bilge, and again close to the keel for a distance of 44 feet, most of the way just below the forward boiler rooms. At that point the ship’s struc- ture is divided into a great mumber #mall compartments which extend half way across the bottom of the ship and which are suppc to be filled with oil in eome cases and in others with spare fresh water for the bhoilers. The valve of the naval system of sub-division of the hull into a large number of small compartments is be- lieved to have been demonstrated by the accident, for the blow to the Ar- kansas is thought to have heen just such a ¢lip as the heel of the iceberg inflicted upon the bottom of the ill- fated Titanie At the point where the Titanic was struck there were no inner compart- ments, not even coal bunkers, but only the thin skin of the ship. Naval con- structors today said that had the Ar- kansas not been sub-divided doubtle: she also would have gone to the pot- tom TO DELAY ACTION IN THE LORIMER CASE.

G, Engler, Norwich, Conr \ The Lie Passed. Annin's paper published what Thomas claimed was an untrue story that Thomas had denounced the house Jjudiciary committee and that he had infrequently attended its inquiry into the Archbaid case. Thomes had Annin called out of the hearing room and told thé reporter he was mistaken. “Liar!” flagshed back and forth and Kirby reinforced Annin. Thomas' own version, told in a formal statement, said Annin struck at Thomas and Thomas struck back. ' Kirby Joins in Fight. “He ran, still striking at me,” added Thomas, “and a fellow by the name of Kirby ran up behind me and struck me on the back of my head. They both grabbed me and threw me to the floor, but I freed myself and arose and they both did a running stunt that would de credit to the champion runner of America. I took after Kirby, but he outran me, and the last 1'saw ‘of him he was still burning the wind.” A Serious Offense. It is thought no action will be taken by the committee, although assault on a member of congress by a civilian while the former is attending 3 session is a grave infraction of the constitu- tional protection afforded members. ROOSEVELT CARRIES SOUTH DAKOTA (Continued from Page One.) the republican national committee Thursday morning. The committee faces a tangle such as perhaps has nevér confronted a national committee of the party on the eve of convention. The right of newly chosen committee- men to seats; the question of open hearings of the more than 200 dele- gate contests; the prospect of a fight to the finish on the selection of Sena- tor Elihu Root for temporary chairman and the belief that Colonel Roosevelt with his assistants will carry into the convention their fight for the seating of their contesting delegates, are some of the problems engrossing the atten- tion of Chairman Harry New and the other members of the sub-committee on arrangements. It is the belief of national commit- teemen now in the city that the claim of R. B. Howell of Nebraska ,to the seat now held by Victor Rosewater will -be disposed of as soon as the committee meets for organization Thursday morning. The first note of enthusiasm was thrown into hotel corridors tonight when part of the Roosevelt national headquarters forces arrived from Washington. A group of a dozen em- ployes of the headquarters gathered around the hotel desk and signalized the arrival by singing a parody on “The Houn’ Dawg” song, the chief re- frain of which ran: “You bet they aint a-kickin Teddy’s dawg aroun’.” “Rumors were current today Colonel Roosevelt would be on hand before the convention preliminaries were out of the way, It was asserted by republican leaders who arrived from the east that the colonel expected to be on hand not only to take part in convention proceedings, but te direct the activities of the Roosevelt “flying wedge” which is being organ d and drilled for propaganda work among the delegates, that “POLITICAL BRIGANDAGE.” Roosevelt So Characterizes Action of Ohio Convention. Oyster Bay, N. Y., June 4—"Pure po- litical brigandage,” said Colonel Roose- velt tonight of the eapture of Ohio's six delegates-at-large to the republi- can national convention by supporte: of President Taft. He d it was a fresh and conclusive proof that Mr. Taft and his advisers care nothing for the will of the people, Colonel Roosevelt spent the day in | New York where he conferred with a number of his supporters. Senator Dixon, his campaign manager, stopped to see him on his way to Chicago. The colonel prepared his statement with unusual care. “This i8 no time for excited utter- ances,” he said, as he gave it out. He added that in whatever he had to say | he was careful to be on the safe side, and preferred to under-estimate facts and conditions in order to be con- servative. This is his statement: “The plain people of the republican party of Ohio have just held a state- wide primary in which they repudiated Mr, Taft by over 30,000 majority. The politicians by adroit manipu- lations. hayve succeeded in giving N Taft the six delegates-at-large, S in frank and cynical defiance of the em- phauy action of the people themselves, This is of course pure political brigan dage. I this fight 1 have from be- ginning to end sought to give the peo- ple the right to say whom they wanted to have as president and have not merely by word but action evident that 1 did not wish the nom- ination unless the majority of the ra_nk and file of the republican party wished me to have it. “This action in Ohio is merely a fresh and concl e proof that Mr. Taft and his advisers care nothing for the will of the people and are eager to get the nomination without any refer- ence to the methods by which it is se- cured, without any reference to wheth- er or not delegates represent the people whom they are suppesed to represent. It is a crowning illustration of Taft's theory of government of ‘the people by a representative part of the people.” Colonel Roosevelt has not made np his mind whether he will go to the Chicago convention and he is making preparations to bring the seat of war as close as possible if he choeses to remain at Sagamore Hill. Workmen began today the erection of telegraph wires from the village of Oyster Bay to the colonel's home, three miles dis- tant.
