Mr. Hellin declared that Mr. Mann had insisted the young woman should have remained at home. "I thought it was better for the young girl to be ut home than in that parade, ' said Mr. Mann in reply, "for fear the gentleman from Alabama should have seen her. He would have been sure to insult her." Uproar followed this remark by the minority leader, Representative Jones of Virginia joining with Representa? tive Hellin in demanding accurate re? cording of the statement. "I repudiate that statement," said Mr. Hellin excitedly. "It is that of a man unworthy of a seat on this floor. The statement is without foundation and unjustified from any source." After the remark had been expung? ed from the record debate followed on the Mann amendment which would provide suffrj'ge for women In the Philippines am in this a colloquy occurred between the Illinois and Alabama members during which Rep? resentative Hellin declared: "1 pronounce the gentleman from Illinois a liar."

Washington, Oct 10.?The federal reserve hoard tonight announced its approval, in principle, of the plan for a $150,000,00(1 loan fund to take care of the surplus cotton crop. Qov. Hamlin of the hoard, In a let eter to Pestus J. Wade of St. Louis, one of the hackers of the plan, said while the hoard could not express it? self upon details, it was of the opinion that the just administration of such a fund would benefit those interested and the rest of the nation as well. He expressed the hope that hanks and merchants would suhscrihe. His letter follows: "Tiu federal reserve hoard has given careful consideration to your suggestion that the fund of $150,000, 000 be raised by subscription from banks, trust companies, bankers and merchants for the purpose of render? ing; assistance to the cotton growers and merchants of the United States until the present abnormal conditions caused by the European war have been terminates! and normal condi? tions restored, "I am directed by the board to state to you that, while it can not, very naturally, express itself upon the de? tails of the plan as to personnel of management, commissions, interest rates, etc., it is of the opinion that the raising of such a fund of the amount indicated and its administra? tion justly and fairly, upon reasonable terms and conditions, would go far to? wards the restoration of normal con? ditions and would redound to the benellt, not only of those interested in the production and manufacturing of cotton, but as well to the entire people of the country. "We note with gratification your as? surance that a large number of South? ern banks and commercial linns have also already signilied their willing? ness to contribute to such a fund, and your expression of confidence that the entire amount wllj be subscribed. "The problem involved is not local ?it is national, and as well, inter? national in its score and importance? and we express the hope that sub? scriptions to such a fund will be made by banks, trust companies and mer? chants throughout the country."
