HOUSE MEMBERS ARE ‘WOOLY’

Scenes of Wild Confusion Mark Last Day of Session. Washington. March 4, —The last full day of the Sixty-fifth congress was marked by scenes of the wildest confusion and heated partisan wrangling in the house. The lie was passed twice. The good right arm of Speaker Clark did its best to destroy a perfectly good desk pounding for order but to little avail. Appeals from the floor for order and roll calls on points of no quorum were the order of the day. > “Members always get ‘wooly’ during the last days of a session,” the speaker consoled himself good humoredly and continued to pound away.
