CONGRESSMAN ACCUSED OF UPHOLDING BROTHELS CLAIMS CHARGE FALSE AS HELL

BY LEASED WIRE-1 WASHINGTON, Dec. 23. Bitter personal phrases were exchanged between Representative Moore of Pennsylvania and Representative Bryan, Progressive, of Washington, in the house today. Arising to a question of personal privilege. Representative Moore de-. nounced as "scandalous and false" a

' speech delivered by Representative Bryan last night, accusing Moore of sympathy with the open saloon and , houses of ill-fame. Representative , Moore yesterday spoke against the 'prohibition amendment, and spoke i against the Kenyon red-light law in this city as having scattered vice in jail sections of the oapiral. Flay3 Bryan. "I shall say-little about the scandal land billingsgate of the gentleman from : Washington," said Moore. "The gen- , tleman is a passed-master of that art. 1 know nothing about his personal

habits except that he is a wanderer on the face of ' the earth, and has finally located in Washington state. "The people of Washington have

finally taken his number and stopped his uaelessness here. His statement j that I am for the open saloon and j houses of prostitution are as false as j hell. I do have conscientious ideas j about how to regulate these evils, ;

i and I would rather stand here with I my conscience clear than to be a hypo-j ; crite and scandal monger, even though i : the galleries applauded me." ; j Representative Bryan was so angry , in his retort that he refused to refer ! to Representative Moore as the "gen- j I tleman from Pennsylvania." He used ! ! the words "denizen of Pennsylvania, j ; and wa1'. called to order by Speaker! I Clark. Bryan asserted that Moore's speech was the common brothel argu- j j ment that vice is scattered all over a city unless there is a segregation. j
