Walsh Too Angry to Talk
International .lews Service.
Washington, May 6.—Harsh and
angry words were hurled back and
forth across the senate chamber this
afternoon when the most acrimonious
partisan debate of the present ses
sion broke out over the oil in
v estimation.
At one time it appeared that Seria
tor Watson, republican of Indiana,
would come to blows with Senator
Ashurst, democrat, of Arizona.
The row started when Watson
observed the Walsh committe had
gone far afield in its oil investigation
by searching for campaign material.
Walsh, betraying the strain under
which he has worked for months be
came so angered at Watson's charges
that he could scarcely speak. Several
limes he choked and once, after a
bitter exchange of personalities, sank
back into ills chair, his face scarlet,
bis breath coming short, and shak
ing.
Walsh Starts Row.
Walsh darted from his seat, shout
ing;
• Now I am attacked on the floor t>f
the senate' just ns I have been at
tacked outside and in newspapers.
I am not attacking the senator.
Watson said coldly.
You are, you are." Walsh cried.
■'You said l was actuated by no other
purpose than to dig up political i
*ues."
r, 1 «aid nothing of the kind " t
son retorted, "I said that, after tic
committee had discovered what i; •
out to do—after its case had been pc
rented in court—it went far afield fn
political issues for campaign nia
terlal."
"The ,Investigation' was either
discredit the president of the Hulled
Stales, or for purely political rea
sons."
"We established that Albert Fail
was guilty of bribe-taking," inter
rupted Walsh.
< nnits In Decide.
"The courts will decide that." re
torted Watson. "The senate is lower
in public esteem than ever before and
ns the senate lias deteriorated the
president goes up," continued Wat
son.
"Did you say blown up?" interject
id .Senator Ashurst, democrat, of
Arizona.
"No. gone up," snapped Watson.
"The plain intention of your speech
is to encourage crime, to excuse
crime," shouted Ashurst.
"You wouldn't say that if we were
in the cloak room,"WVatson shouted
"Oh. yes I would, I'd say worse
titan that,” returned Ashurst.
Watson served notice he would
fight an investigation of the prohibl
lion unit.
"What is tlirre sacred about the
prohibition unit?" asked .Senator Dill,
democrat, of Washington.
"Tile personal animosity of Gover
nor Pinchot of Pennsylvania to
Secretary Mellon, the desire of Sena
> tor Couzens to change the Volstead
law to permit wine and beer and the
backing of Frank A. Vanderllp lead
me to believe that the object of such
an investigation is sinister," re
turned Watson.
