AUGUST BODY IS SUBJECT OF INSULT.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 22.
A long, sibilant hiss floated through the chamber of the senate yesterday rising above the expiring applause with which the galleries greeted comment reflecting on the intelligence of the occupants. Never before had a hiss been heard in this dignified body.
The incident followed the remark of Senator Bailey.
Senator Crawford of South Dakota made a statement bearing on the Lorimer case that brought forth expressions of approval from the onlooking opponents of the Illinois senator, who sat in the gallery.
"No applause will be permitted in those galleries," said the vice-president severely.
"The applause," said the Texas senator, who was in controversy with Crawford, "is a fair measure of the intelligence of the audience."
