NORMS FACES DREAR PROSPECT IN SENATE Old Guard Republicans Plan to Disci pline Ntbraskan with Severity Erookhart "In for It." . , i Washington, Nov. 7. Flushed by , the landslide for President Calvin ' Coolidge, G. O. P. leaders in the sen ate were laying plans today to pun ish Senators George W. Norris, of Nebraska, and Smith W. Brookhart, cf Iowa, when they return to Wash ington. The fight against Senator Norris promises to be one of the most inter esting during the next session of congress. Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, one of the- leading old guard republicans, states that none of the "regular" republicans in the senate are satisfied with the way Senator Norris acted during the past cam-1 paign. j They feel that he should have an- 1 nounced his support of President Coolidge and not, as they charge, i flirted with the La Follette forces in . the state. Norris has repeatedly of fended the administration and has, criticized it severely for its actions and the G. O. P. leader? feel that t now Is the right time to reprimand ; him. i Hay Lose Chairmanship It was hinted by several republic an leaders that an attempt would be jr.ade to remove Norris as chairman o the powerful senate committee on agriculture and forestry. No senator! will announce his support of such a movement at this time, but It Is being; discussed and when the senate con- vencs again next December it is cer- j tain to be talketi over by. all of the j old guard senators. It was said by republican leaders j tOitay tnat morris is not entitled to ; cause he is not really a republican. They state that while Norris is list ed as a republican and was re-elected on that ticket, he has never sup ported the party's policies nor could he ever be depended upon to support the administration. Must Run Gauntlet They feel that now is the time to make Norris come out in the open and take a definite position either for or against the Administration. If he refuses to support the administra tion they will attempt to remove him as chairman. Senator Brookhart is certain to bo j read out of the party. He Las already j been repudiated by the republican return to Washington, G. O. P. lead ers here will see to it that he is ac corded similar treatment. Both the Iowa and Nebraska In surgents v. ill be treated coldly from now on by the administration forces, and no opportunity will be permitted to pass without reminding them of thesir attitude in the past and that they must be punished now. BROOKHART CONTEST MAY GO TO SENATE Body will be Asked to Accept Dis carded "Arrow" Ballots for Steck Matter in Doubt Des Moines, la. Nov. 7. Senator Brookhart's lead over Daniel F. Sleek, democrat, in their close con test for the former's senate seat last night was decreased from 1,116 to 1,025 "by corrections in the unofficial count made by county auditors in half a dozen counties. The largest losses by Senator Brookhart were in Lee and Jackson counties where Steck gained 87 votes. The revised totals are: Brookhart, 447,530; Steck, 44 6,505. The United States senate may de cide whether Senator Brookhart or Daniel F. Steck, shall occupy the seat held for the' past two years by Sen ator Brookhart when the new con gress convenes. This was indicated today by prep arations being made by democratic leaders and the secretary of state to preserve for a contest in the senate .... 11(1 1 I I M .1 I.IJI1I1I U II 111. lllflllV Illrll... judges. The latitude of the senate in re count matters and the possibility that a body might be bound to fol low the letter of the Iowa election laws afforded ground for much ppec ulation among Iowa politicians. Some held the opinion that numerous bal lots thrown out because of identifi cation marks might bo accepted by the senate on the grounds that the intent cf the voter was clear, dopite failure to strictly comply with the state law. The ballots in question were straight republican votes except for a "scratch for the democratic can didate for the senate. To clearly set out this "scratch," hundreds of voTfcrs drew an arrow on the ballot pointing to the "x" opposite Steck's name. The Iowa supreme court has ruled that any mark on a ballot placed outside the prescribed circle or square, except by apparent accident, invalidates the ballot. Attorney General Gibson said to day he was not sure that the senate could accept these ballots, which have been ruled out in the state Rivals in Role Write of Each , Other Seeing Each Other Play 1 ft X r .war. s r -A. t-et 'sS -sat iti i &f ' t,-.xj 7 a-t4 7. i X 1 Gertrude Lang end Laurel NemetKchO ilay the priifim donna roles in the two companies of "Blossom Time" had the unique experience recently cf witnessing rival performances of the oper etta. Hiss Nemeth, who appeared in the part of Mitzi in the Forty fourth Street Theatre company, in New York, attended the matinee of the Shubcrt Theatre company of "Blossom Time" and Miss Lang, the rival Mitzi, returned the compliment by visiting the Thursday matinee at the Forty-fourth Street. Their criticisms of each other,, are herewith recorded: By GERTRUDE LANG ACTORS and actresses reflect their environment. And I no ticed at the Forty-fourth Street Theatre, as in my company at the Shubcrt, that tie singers went about their work with genuine love and respect for one of the great geniuses of song whose melodies they were called upon to render. Such a feeling naturally aids ia the development of the artist. Miss Nemetn has a beautiful voice, but more than that, she is sympathetic, a quality that makes her performance a noteworthy one, Trina Valera was sufficiently etormy and seductive as Bella- brana. As for Joseph Mendelsohn in the part of Schubert, he fitted my con ception of the master in his appear ance, his shuffling gait, his sad Toice, wistful stoop of his shoul ders. I could not escape the remark able fact of a Mendelsohn playing Schubert. The ensemble proved good-looking, and the costumes and settings were fresh and suggestive of old yienna.

SCIENTIFIC WORK LACS Moscow, Nov. C. According to Professor Fersman, of the Russian academy of sciences, who recently spent some time in Germany scien tific research work in that country has greatly declined, and in some ways is far below similar work in Russia. In the Scandinavian coun tries, on the other hand, the pro fessor says, the progress of science has been very remarkable, especially abstract science.
