Mondeil to Retract the
#
Offensive Word.
Washington, October 11. —The
house had a moment of excitement
today when the unparliamentary
word “lie” figured in the debate.
Representative Mondell, of Wyom
ing, said that the position taken by
Representative Bartlett, of Geor
gia, as to commerce court legisla
tion “gave the lie to his protesta
ions.’’
Mr. Bartlett jumped to his feet
with a demand that Mr Mondell
withdraw the word lie.
“Oh, 1 am not excited!" shouted
Mr. Bartlett to his colleagues, who
gathered about him. “I don’t in
tend to break any rules of the
house.”
Mr. Mondell admitted that his
choice of words had been unfor
tunate, but insisted that Mr. Bart
lett’s attitude did not accord with
his statement in regard to certain
legislation. Mr. Bartlett accepted
the form of criticism, and the in
cident was closed. — ATLANTA CON
