SpeFlal to Tbs Georgian. ,
Washington, June 30.—On the floor
of the house last night Representative
Southwlck, of New York, made a state
ment that 5Ir. Bartlett, of Georgia,
construed as tantamount to railing
him a liar.
Mr. Southwlck persisted In Inter
rupting Mr. Bartlett, who was object-
and In the disturbance that follow-
the Georgian, who sal's he had In hla

to defend himself frflm the New York

House In Confusion.
The house was thrown Into confus
ion. The speaker banged for order
and directed members to take their
seats. This served no purpose snij
the sergeant at arms was directed to
see that order was restored. Mean

ferred.
Mr. Bnrtlstt took his seat and Mr.
Southwlck waa led to another part of
the chamber.
Interrupts Mr. Bartlett.
Mr. Bartlett, a member of the com-
mltee of accounts, which had refused
to make a favorable report on a reso
lution. asked If the resolution com-
mlttee had acted on It. While Mr.
Bartlett was speaking, Mr. Southwlck
■hntuitla
persisted In Interrupting him and ad
dressing remarks to him. Mr: Bartlett
moved off whenever Mr. Southwlck ap
proached and Anally took refuge be
hind one of the desks on tbs Republi
can side, where he could continue hie
statement uninterrupted.
The speaker seemed to be In sym
pathy with the objection Mr. Bartlett
was making and declined to put the
resolution to a vote, holding that ob
jection to unanimous consent had been
made.
Just as 5lr. Bartlett stepped Into the
aisle, Mr. Southwlck again stepped,to
ward him nnd said:
What 8outhwick Said.
“There has been too much lying
about this resolution.'
Then It wn* that Mr. Bartlett, made
a demonstration more of defense then
of offense.
It was learned afterward that Mr.
Bartlett told Mr. Southwlck that If he
charged him with lying he would hurt
him, whereupon Mr. Southwlck denied
that he meant any personal application
