WINS IS SERIES OF TACTICS.
Idaho Senator Demands Roll Call on
Motion to Adjourn and Again on Mo-
I tion for Executive Session fifteen
Republicans Vote With Democrats.
Washington, Feb. 4. After a series
of thrilling experiences Senator Borah,
supported by progressive Republican
and Democratic senators, made tre
inenilojs advances through the lines
of old guard Republicans and placed
the resolution far the election of sena
tors by direct vote of the people In a
most advantageous position.
After taking several rebuffs tlio Ida
ho senator, with persistence not often
witnehned in the senate, pounded
sway until he landed his resolution in
tho favored place on tho legislative
I'rogram and It must come up every
day as unfinished business.
Tho moment tho Lorlmcr caso was
laid aside Senators Nelson and Borah
clamored for recognition. Vice Presi
dent Sherman saw Nelson first and
gnve him the floor. He moved to take
up tho hill to regulate tho leasing of
the Alaskan coal lands, whereupon
Borah promptly moved to lay that mo
tion on the table, which failed, 36 to
41. Most senators thought this settled
the question and that tho Borah re so
lutlon had boon relegated to a po
ttltlon where It would not prove a dan
gerous factor In the legislative pro
gram during the short period remain
Ing of the present congress.
After the senate had proceeded wit
the Alaskan hill for a short time, Nel
son gave way to Senator Warren to
make a motion that the senate ad
journ over until Monday. Ttorah here
Jumped Into the fray again.
Borah Demands Roll Call.
lie said that ho would object and
that he did so because It had become
apparent that senators opposed to his
resolution would not give considera
tion to It If they could help It. Ho
demanded a roll call on the motion to
ndjotirn until Monday and this time
he won by a small margin.
Thus encouraged, Borah asked that
his resolution be tnnde the unflnlBhe,
business of tho senate.
From the previous roll call It ap
peared that this resolution might be
given this preference, and Senator
Penrose hurriedly moved an executive
session. Such a motion, under the
rules of the senate,, may be made at
any time, and therefore Borah again
found himself elbowed out of the way.
As the executive motion was being
put to the senate, Borah made a de
matid for a roll call, secured a sum
Hen t number of seconds and the call
?wns ordered.
, -On what was regnrded as the most
significant vote of tho day, the execu
tive session wftfl denied, 86 to 40. All
of those who voted In tho affirmative
saw reearded as lined up against pop
ular flections of senator", and those
who voted in the negative are known
to b In favor of this policy.
All of the affirmative votes were
cast by Republicans, but several Re

IM THE HIT PIN
TO GO IN NEBRASKA?
Protection of the masculine public
from the menace of womeu'i hatpins
is the object of a bill which has been
given to Representative Hatfield of
Lancaster county by a Lincoln attor
ney for Introduction In the legisla
ture. The proposed enactment was
drawn at tbe request of citizens who
frequently ride on crowded street
cars and have been put to the neces
sity of dodging the bayonet-like bead
gear fastenings worn by the weaker
sex.
According to representations made
In support of the bill, there have been
Bevcral narrow escapes from the loss
of eyes or the severance of Juglar
veins on account of hatpins which
conform to the prevailing mode. Then
men say It Is no Joke about their be
ing placed In Jeopardy. When several
scores of people are packed to suffo
cation In a street car, they assert that
constant vlgllence Is the price of Im
munity from being Jabbed by the
Bharp end of a hatpin. When two
women become absorbed In conversa
tion In a car a nod or a turn of the
head Is dangerous to men In their
vicinity, say the complainants.
The following Is the bill which
Representative Hatfield will Intro
duce: "A bill for an act to prohibit the
wearing of hatpins over a certain
length and to make the violation of
this act a misdemeanor and to pro
vide a penalty therefor.
"Be it enacted by the legislature of
the state of Nebraska:
"Section 1. That hereafter in this
state It shall be unlawful for any per
son to wear a hatpin over seven
Inches In length; provided, however,
that this act shall not apply to the
wearing of hatpins over seven Inches
In length when protected with a muz
zle or guard.
"Section 2. That any person vio
lating this act shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor and punished by a fine
of not less than $1 nor more than
$25."

WALLACE ON RECIPROCITY
Asks Why Not Tariff for Farmers at
Well as for Manufacturers.
Des Moines, Feb. 4. Why not a tar
iff for fanners as well as for manu
facturers, or railroads, or merchants?
Why should farmers not bo const jjred
In tariff schedules on a par with other
r&ptalns of Industry? These and oth
er questions were propounded by Hen
ry Wallace to a reporter who sought
an interview on the subject of reel
proclty.
"If tho fanner owes the manufact
urer a living," said Mr. Wallace,
"then undoubtedly he should be In fa
vor of tho fullest reciprocity, not mere
ly with Canada, but with Mexico and
the Argentine. We have already ad
vancid tariffs to the limit, and the
people won't stand It any longer. It
we cannot benefit the manufacturers
by giving them higher protection, we
should turn around and In their be
half forego any advantages we should
have from the tariff, In order that
they may have tho cheapest food to
supply their operatives and thus keep
down the cost of labor.
"If we do not owo them a living, If
our obligations to the manufacturer
are equal to his obligations to us and
we are full brothers in this great re
public, then the fanner, like the manu
facturer, should, according to present
thnorlB, have a tariff that will equal
ize tbe olfferenco In cost of labor and
land In this and other countries, plua
a reasonable profit, which means that
the tariff the farmer is now enjoying
should bo very greatly Increased."

ROOT SPEAKS
ACAINSTLORIMER
New York Senator Says Evidsnce
Shows Bribery.
COMMITTEE'SWORKCRITICISED
lt$ Findings and Methods Analyzed
From Legal Standpoint and Both
Are Declared Improper Illinois
Senator Not Entitled to Seat.
Washington, Feb. 4. That Senator
William Lorimer (III.) holds his seat
?s the result of bribery aud on that
account should not be permitted to
continue in the senate Is tho conclu
sion reached by Senator Elihu Root
and announced by him In an argument
on tho floor of the senate.
Root spoke without notes and in the
malu his address consisted of a care
ful analysis of the testimony taken
by tho committee. The argument was
almost entirely legal.
The speaker lost littlo time In Indi
cating the conclusion he had reached,
which was entirely antagonistic to
Lorimer.
He took the position that the In
vestigating committee had been at
lault in permitting either the attorney
for Lorimer or the attorney for the
Chicago Tribune to direct Its course
In the matter of connecting Lorimer
with the corruption of members of the
Illinois legislature, but agreed that
even In the face of Its fault In this
respect, the committee had obtained
sufficient evidence effectually to taint
and invnlidato the election.
Citing the resolution under which
the inquiry was directed, Root said
the committee had failed to find the
testimony sufficient to Justify the con
clusion that Lorimer's seat had been
rendered Invalid by the employment
of corrupt methods or practices.
"It is fair to Infer," he said, "that
the committee was of the opinion that
corrupt methods and practices were
resorted to,, but that their legal effect
was not such as to Invalidate Lorl
mer's election.
"This view Is sustained by the testi
mony before us, and I regret to say
that after an examination of this test!
mony I am constrained to disagree
with the members of the committee.'
Saying that he had been forced to
this conclusion with deep rpgret both
on account of his respect for the mem
hers of the committee and of regard
for Lorimer. Senator Root said he hal
twn Impelled to reach an adverse
view In the Interest of the Hite of II1I
nols and of the countrv at torse.
"I cannot," he said, enrnestly, "come
to any different conclusion."
State and Country Disgraced.
Ho expressed the opinion that both
the state and country had been d's
graced by the methods of the Lorlmej
election.
Not only did the senator differ as tc
the conclusions, but as to the methods
of the senate committee. He did not
believe that organization properly In
terpreted the scope of Its Instructions,
but felt that It had gone too far In In
terpretlng the charges as a private
complaint by the Chicago Tribune.
The committee should, he thought.
have borne In mind that the reputa
tion, the honor, the purity and author
lty of the senate were involved.
