While Overman and the Vice President Fall Out Over Moving Pictures. Peace is at Last Re stored. Washington, Oct.V 10. Personalities were exchanged in the House today be tween Representative Mann, minority s leader, and Representative Heflin.f Alabama, during discussion of a wo man suffrage amendment to the Phil ippine bill. In the heat of the debate Mr. Heflin called Mr. Mann a liar and the latter charged that the Alabama member had made a speech in the House against suffrage which was an insult to womanhood. After much debate, which for a mo ment seemed to threaten a physical encounter, a portion of Representative Mann's remarks was ordered "expunged frem, the Record by a vote of 152 to 66. The matter ordered expunged was a remark made by the minority leader "when Representative Heflin recalled a speech Mr. Mann had made two years ago at the time of the suffrage parade In Washington when a girl was insult ed. Mr. Heflin declared Mr. Mann had insisted the young woman should have remained at home. ; "I thought it was better for the young girl to be at 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 the remarks made by the minority leader. Representative Jones, of "Virginia, joining with Repre sentative Heflin in demanding accurate recording of the statement. "I repudiate that statement," said Mr. Heflin 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 ensued on the Mann amendment which would pro vide suffrage for women in the Phil ippines, and in this a colloquoy occurr ed between the Illinois and Alabama members during which Representative Heflin declared: "I pronounce the gentleman from Illinois a liar." The suffrage amendment was defeat ed 84 to 58. "Washington, Oct. 10. Vice Presi dent Marshall and Senator Overman, chairman of the Rules committee, had a war of words in the Senate today be cause the Vice President had given permission to take moving pictures of the Vice President and a number of Senators. Mr. Marshall resented criti cism by Senator Overman, and when other Democratic members attempted to smooth out the row he refused to recognize them. He insisted the good faith of the Vice President of the Unit ed States had been questioned and de clared he did not propose to be kicked about as a football. When it developed, however, that the 1 Rules committee had not given its ap proval to the picture taking project, Mr. Marshall announced he would see that the films were not made public. Later, after conference with the-Vice President, , Senator Overman formally withdrew his criticism. He said h had investigated the matter and found that no one was to be criticised.

Terrific Battle Continues to Rage Sa bre and Lance Used. From the. Battle Front, via Paris, Oct. 10. Sabre and lance came into play many times today. The French, British and German-Hussars, Lancers, Dragoons and Cuirassiers In enormous numbers came Into contact near Lille. There were no charges by London lines of horsemen' to record, but the British and French often crossed swords with the blue-gray clad Ger- mansr There Is not an inch of ground here abouts which does not show traces of the awful character of battle. The town of Albert is a mass of ruins. Rdye has disappeared under constant bombardment. It was the center of the German effort to break through the allied lines. The German artillery had taken advantage of many quarries in the vicinity where they placed guns which were beyond the reach of the French artillery. Reconnoltering parties frequently came in conflict. In these engagements the -. soldiers took shelter behind the many bodies on the field. But nothing occurred which could be called a gen eral battle. - The vicinity of Arras, however, was the scene of vigorous encounters be tween Infantrymen who engaged lit close fighting, with, the .bayonet after the artillery duel ceased. At some points along the line numbers of Ger mans offered to surrender if given food. Beyond Roye, where the fighting has been exceptionally severe for-15 days as possession of the place means con. trol of the railroad lines and also the road to Amiens, the alies continued their efforts to dislodge the Germans. It was necessary for the allies to con duct regular siege operations. - General Sibille, a French infantry commander, has been killed. Farther east the French made a con siderable advance in Alsace. Night at tacks appear to have ceased for the present "except in a few isolated in stances. SERIOUS CATARRH YIELDS TO HYOMEI Also One of the Best Remedies for Head Colds or Bronchitis.

"The trouble with the cotton oil sit uation appears to me to be one of transportation, growing out of the re ported action of the Holland-American Line in declining to accept shipments. The Netherlands government disclaims any connection Vith this action of tfoe steamship company, which is a private owned line. "The department has inquired of ex porters of cotton oil if they know f any shipment of cotton oil which has been seized or detained by the British government and if so to furnish thevf department with the circumstances. "The British ambassador has notified the department that his government in tends to revise their proclamation re specting contraband, and that' mean while' shipments to Holland in neutral vessels, of goods, such as foodstuffs, respecting which The Netherlands gov ernment have placed an " embargo against re-exportation, would not be considered contraband of war or inter fered with on that accountV A Close Consideration Given. "The department keenly appreciates the cottonseed products situation and has given it extended consideration, as well as the general subject of traded with the Holland concerns. That ques-. tion, as may be easily seen, involves considerations other than the mere right of neutrals to deal with neutral ports. While on the subject of cotton, there is no impediment to the ship ment of cotton to any country, not ex cepting the belligerents. Cotton is non. contrabands for the manifest reason that in its raw state it cannot be used for purposes of, war. In order- tobe available for use by the armies, "navies or forces of the belligerents," it has first to undergo a long, process of man ufacture. It is ranged "as a. -non-contraband in the London convention. Of course, shipments of cotton to foreign countries, ifjthey ar-e to escape deten tion, must be shipped in American or other vessels flying. neutral flags. There is no legal impediment to a shipload of i cotton going direct to Hamburg con signed to German spinners, and, per sonally, I hope to see the exportation of cotton to the countries at war in crease. The English - government's preference, I understand, is to Egyp-. tian cotton, but the other countries at war, no doubt, are in need of raw cot ton. Apparently the American cotton interests should, if they have not al ready done so, seek out these markets. "It appears that The Netherlands government has placed an embargo up on the exportation from that country of the following articles: Wheat, wheat flour, rye, rye flour, barley, oatmeal, rice, fresh vegetables and .fruits, mo lasses, sutrar. buckwheat. Indian corn. rlndian corn meal, barley meal, as well as all products of oats, wheat, rye, bar ley, buckwheat and Indian corn, and fuel articles useful in war, food prod ucts, sugar beets, cotton waste, linseed, rape seed, all oil seeds except carra way, mustard and poppy seed, rice flour, all cattle feed, cake flour and meal thereof, sugar pulp, salt and meal flour."
