Washington, Jan. 10.-Victor 1cr. ger, Milwau1kee socialist, reelectec from the iFii th Wisconsin congression. al district, after he had .refused mem bership in the house, 'because he gaivt aid and comfort to the enemy," ws ae denied his seat again today by a vote of 228 to G. The house acted in a little more than an hour after Berger had presented himself to be sworn in. Chairman Dallinger of elections committee which held Berger ineligible the first time, presented a resolution barring Berger and reviewed the reasons why Berger was excluded at. the special session, Representatives Mann, Re publican, of Illinois, Voigt, Republi can, of Wisconsin and Sherwood, Dem ocrat, of Ohio spoke in support of Berger's right to a seat. "This is a representative form of government," Mr. Mann said, 'and this we must menaintain inviolate if the pee pie desire it. Berger wa selected by from your The Fe Fisi Norfolk, Va.

They have a right to be represented." Request for a hearing on Henry H. Bodenskad's right to the seat denied Berger has been made before Chair Man Dallinger. Bondenstad, a Repub lican, was defeated by Berger by a mapority of 4,806 votes in the special election. The committee previously held Joseph P. Carney, Berger's op lpo rent in the first election, to be in eligible. Chairman Dallinger said to day that at the time of his first elec tion Berger was only under indict ment under; the espionage act, but that he had been convicted before the second election. This, he added, would stre'ngt.hen Bodenstads' case. Those voting to seat Berger were: Mann, Harreld, Republican, of Okla homa, Griflin, Democrat, of New York, Sherwood, Democrat, of Ohio and Sis son, Democrat, of Mississippi, Repre sontative Sabath, Republican, of Illi nois voted present. Berger declared in a statement after the vote that the house action was "one of the worst attacks on the rep r" entative form of government ever I witnessed in this country." "It is really a denial of the right of people to elect the citizen of their choice," he said. Speaking to his resolution, Chair man Dallinger said lerger was ex eluded the firs;t time "not because of iheetd -ferti/izer wi/I b if youe use (STE rtilizer That i Scrap Fam< (STER GUA] Qa.

' "There are," a score of members shouted. "Then there are. traitors in yoyr district,' Voigt retorted. "Not at all," came from various members. Milwaukee, Jan. 10.--The Socialist his so-called radical views, not be cause he is a Socialist, but because he is ineligible to membership under provisions of the constitutioh." "This will disqualify him permanent ly," he declared. "The peonlle of Wis consin may reelect him, and there are some who contend that if the people want him in congress he is entitled to a seat, but a man excluded as Berger has been can never be eligible to memr bership. Representative Voigt, who was the only member to vote to seat Berger the first time, spoke in favor of seat ,ing him today. "I am more firmly convinced than even," he said, "that Berger is entitled committee of the First Wisconsin con gressional district within a half hour after receiving the news that Victor Berger had been excluded from con gress a second time renominated him. The statement was made that he would be the candidate of the party at a special election to be demanded from the governor. "We will keel) on nominating Ber ger until Hades freezes over if that un-American aggregation called con gress continues to exclude him,' de clared a statement issued by the com mittee. "We want every person in this coun try to understand that the voters of the Fifth Wisconsin district know ex actly whom they wane as their rep resentative in congress, and we do not propose to let Gillett and his bunch of Wall street fawners dictate to us on the subject. "Berger is our congressmen and the action of congress in unseating him a second time only starts the real fight that will not end until every one of the reactionaries who voted in to day's disgraceful proceedings have been retired by the ballot to the ob livion they so richly deserve.' -----o INFOR1ATION FOR POPE Rome, Jan. 10.-Pope Benedict has received a report from Herbert Hoov er regarding the relief of European children suffering from the war.
