Wilson Is Resolved on Money
Legislation
CAN HE INFLUENCE SENATE?
He Is Striving to Reconcile Differences
of Opinion Among Senators So as
to Insure Passage of Measure.
The strongest test of President
Wilson’s control over party politics,
and over the legislative performances
of congress is about to occur. Within
the last week he has seen the triumph
in the house of his currency reform
demands in the practical completion
of the tariff revision bill so far as ad
ministration ideas are connected with
It
The question how paramount is con
gressional circles bears directly upon
the currency reform situation in the
president’s potential control of the
senate. Except for those immediately
connected with the handling of the
currency bill, the general query is: j
,Will the president be able to induce j
the senate to act on the QJass-Owen
bill without delay and without ma
terial alteration of its provision?
No doubt remains of the determined
purpose of the president to urge con
gress, by every legitimate means at
his command, to complete the curren
cy legislation within the next few
weeks and to give the country anew
hanking system ami a revised form
of paper currency before December.
Evidences of his concern in the
matter have come in a series of events
in which his influence has determined
the action of congressional leaders.
Over a week ago, after a conference
with Mr. Wilson, members of the sen- j
ate democratic “steering committee”
announced that consideration of cur
rency reform would be pushed with
out delay in the senate, and that there ]
would be no senate recess.

HIS COUNSELS’ MOVE FAILS
Fifty Members of Court Uphold Va*
lidity of Assembly’s Action and
Only One Member Casts Dissenting
Vote.
Governor William Sulzer. of New
York, must go to trial. This was
decided by the high court of im
peachment when, by a vote of 51 to
1, its members overruled the motion
of the governor’s counsel to dismiss
tire proceedings on the ground he was
unconstitutionally Impeached by the
assembly, because that body was in
extra session when the Impeachment
was brought.
Senator Gottfried 11. Wende, of
Buffalo, democrat, an ardent sup
porter of the governor, cast the soli
tary nay, while seven members of
the court were absent.
The governor’s defeat was the sec
ond that has marked the battle
waged by his attorneys to annihilate
as far as possible the impeachment
proceedings. Last week the court
thwarted their attempt to prevent
four senators from sitting as mem
bers.
The vote of the court was taken in
secret session.

A POISON DETECTOR.
Device Perfected Will Shew if Person
Is Poisoned.
Professor W. W. Al>el, head of the
department of pharmacology at Johns
HopAlna University, has perfected an
appliance by which it is possible to
determine whether a person has been
poisoned, and If so, to determine the
exact nature of the poison.
The contrivance consists of a se
ries of colls and tubes which are sub
merged Ln a saline solution. Theii
action Is said to be similar to that ol
the kidney. In making the test foi
poison it is necessary to allow a
stream of blood flow through the
coils.
This Is done by connecting the
tube with the jugular vein and the
carotid artery.
