LODGE’S DEATH CHANGES SENATE ALIGNMENT
Question of New
Leadership Has
Unusual Angles
WASHINGTON. Tfce
passing of Senator Lodge
just as his party was pre
paring to harvest the fruits j
of a sweeping victory at the ■
polls surrounds the ques
tion of leadership in the
senate with new and unusu
al considerations.
A veteran of the old
guard, adamant against the
policies of the LaFollette
insurgents on the one hand
and unable to accept some
of the proposals of the re
publican administration on
the other, the Massachu
sett patriarch more than
once bad found his title as
republican floor leader
somewhat of an anomaly.
MUST DECIDE ON
NEW ALIGNMENT
Now as the powerful equation of
his personal influence has been re
moved from the problem, party
chieftains face the task of deciding
what new alignment can be effect
ed to fill the gap and make for par
ty solidarity.
In the determination of this ques
tion President Coolidge undoubtedly
will have an opportunity to wie'd
the dominant power of party lead
ership conferred on him by Tues
day’s election. If he cares to give it
his advice will be a powerful fac
tor of the senate, or whether
seniority is to he cast aside and
some new leader lifted from the
ranks to a position of command.
The question assumes as still
greater significance when it is con
sidered that the new congress which
meets nert year, will see a substan
tial increase in republican, senate
strength, bringing into the situation
pew and untried quantities. In view
of the changes to take place as a
result of the election just held and
the close balance in the present
congress any permanent re-organ
ization on the republican side may
be delayed for some months and a
temporary leader designated to act
during the short winter session.
Should no sweeping re-adjust
ment of the senate situation be at<
tempted it is probable that Sena
tor Warren of Wyoming, or Sena
tor Curtis, of Kansas, will become
floor leader. But if there is to be a
new deal- all around ‘hose to be
considered probably will intlude
Wadsworth, of New York; Moses
of New Hhampshire; Watson, of
Indiana, and Reed of Pennsylvania.
THIRD SENATOR TO
DIE IN FEW WEEKS
Senator Lodge is the third promi
nent senate republican to die with
in recent weeks. As a result the re
publican party finds itself with a
membership of only 50 in the pres
ent senate, or one less than a ma
pority, unless Governor Cox of
Massachusetts appoints a successor
to the venerable legislator before
congress re-assembles in Decem
ber 1. .
Although the vacancy caused bv
the deathof Senator Colt, of Rhode
Island, was filled In Tuesday's
election that resulting from the
more recent death of Be itsor Bran
dfgee, of Connecticut, win not be
filled until December !6 when a
special election v£lll he held At. this
Is more than two weeks after the
time set for the ednvening of con
press the senate will meet without a
full membership.
In the face of that situation with
but 50 members, not all of whom
are classed as trict organisation
men the problem of organization
Is expected to develop difficulties
which will require expert bandlina
If the republicans are to continue
for the session as the dominant par- .

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. —Henry Cabot
Dodge, senior senator from Massa
chusetts, republican and leader of the
senate who served there 31 years, is
dead. The end came at the Charles
Gate hospital here shortly before
midnight.
Struck down last Wednesday just
as he was making a rapid convalesc
ence from his second operation with
in a few months, the 72-year-old sen
ator was unconscious during most of
the day’s Intervening before his
death.
For a brief period on Friday he
rallied with remarkable vitality and
regained consciousness for a few short
periods during which he spoke to his
physician and relatives at his bed
side.
Again, he lapsed into coma, how
ever, and his strength gradually ebb
ed away. His daughter-in-law, Mrs.
John E. Dodge; his granddaughter,
Miss Helena Dodge, his two grand
sons, John S. and Henry Cabot Dodge,
11, and his physician. Dr. John C.
Cunningham, were at the bedside
when he died.
Word of his death brought tribute
from many places. Senator David I.
Walsh, democrat, who shared with
him the representation of Massachu
setts in the upper house, said:
“Massachusetts has lost a states
man and a scholar who added more
to her prestige than any other man
in half a century.”
Funeral services will be held at the
home of Dr. William Sturgis Bige
low. a life-long friend of the senator
and a fellow member of the class of
IS7I at Harvard. Burial will be in
the Dodge family lot at the Mount
Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge.
PRESIDENT PAYS
TRIBUTE TO HIM.
“Senator Dodge was a prominent
figure in Massachusetts before I knew
anything about the public affairs of
that cotpmbnwealth,” President Cool
idge said Monday. “For a long time
he has been our senior senator. He
was the floor leader of the senate.
"This Is not the occasion to under
take to review the position he has
filled and the work he has done. It
is enough now to recall that he has
l>\<i one of the great men of our
time. He had a wide scholarship and
a wonderful facility of expression. His
influence has been world-wide. A
large collection of his writings and
speeches are left to us which will be
not only of historical interest but of
permanent literary value.
“Full of years bearing the honors
that have never ceased to be be
stowed in increasing numbers he has
been gathered to his fathers.”

Mil ’CHANGE
MEN DENOUNCE
RAIDING OF
BROKERS !
ATLANTA, Ga.—Leas than two
hours after a raiding party directed
by Solicitor General John A. Boy
kin, had swopped down upon the
Atlanta Commercial exchange in
connection with almost a score of
raids on downtown brokerage of
riees, Saturday, officials of the ex
change called a spirited protest
meeting, In which they denounced
the solicitor and his operatives for
the “high-handed” manner in
which the “raid” wap conducted.
The raiding party blocked the
doors to the exchange, a formnl
statement declared, and halted the
immense business which was being
carried on at the time. Telegraph
operators w’ere forced to leave their
wires and everything was brought
to a complete standstill until every
person in the office had been for
mally ordered to appear before the
Fulton county grand jury Tuesday.
Ordered Before Jury
Solicitor Boykin directed a series
of raids Saturday against nearly a
score of brokerage offices, charg
ing violation of the Georgia law
prohibiting the buying and selling
of futures on margins. Records
were confiscated in some Instances
and all persons found In the
crowded establishments were or
dered to appear before the grand
jury Tuesday.
The raiding party, composed of
both county and city officers, left
the courthouse at 10:30 o'clock Sa
turday morning. Separating into
several different groups they
swooped down suddenly on the
various brokerage offices. As h re
sult of the raids more than 200
managers, customers and em
ployees of the houses were ordered
to appear before the grand Jury.
Solicitor Boykin declared that the
brokerage offices In question were
operating an Illegal business,
charging that the managers were
selling futures on margins. This
the solicitor charges, Is in violation
of the state law. The solicitor do- ;
fined the brokerage offices as j
"gambling houses.”
Exchange Protest*.
A short while after the raidingj
party had visited the Atlanta Com- i
mercial Exchange, a protest meet- J
Ing was held at which the solid- i
tor and his party were scathingly
denounced for their “high-handed”
methods. Officials of the exchange
declared that the raid was con
ducted In "utter disregard of the
rights of the members of the ex
change.”
Operators for the Postal and
Western Union telegraph com
panies wero lined up against the
wall, officials of the exchange

PITTSBURGH.—You would think
she was still in her 20’s—But
Countess Electra Rosanka says she
was alive thousands of years ago.
Why, 12,000 years ago in a pre
vious reincarnation, she insists, she
was roaming the far-famed, but
since long-lost, continent of Atlan
tis. Stranger yet, Rhe was a hoy
then—a boy named 54ailum Num
inns.
So sure is she about It all that
she has written a 90,000 word book,
describing conditions of the time of
yore.
The countess, the American-horn
wife of a Russian nobleman who
died during the war, styles herself
a psychic, mystic and philosopher.
She began delving Into the mystic
soon lifter leaving s<*iool. She is
now In America, recuperating her
fortunes in her former profession
singing.
“Atlantis,” she explains, “lay be
tween which is now Europe and
America. All of the continents were
shaped differently. I’arts of the land
have sunk since, and parts of the
oceans beds have risen.
“And In 750 years this will hap
pen again—only it will be America
that will sink. From th“ bottoms of
tl»e Atlantic and Pacific will rise
slimy beds, and evolution will be
gin anew.
“America will he destroyed for
the same reason that Atlantis was
sent beneath the waves 12,050 years
ago., It will become over-populated.
Its men and women of Intellect will
progress too fnr for divine Intelli
gence and will stop what might he- Ing In marriage.”

There were airplanes, submarines,

too. The countess saw them. Laws
and economic conditions were far in
advance of those today.
Strange though It seems, the
countess recalls much of the lang
uage she used In her residence In
Atlantis. She uses these words In
her hook—Anglicized, she explains
—with fluent ease.
Some of the words, with their
definitions, arc:
Astlk, a prince; lncal, the sun,
also the supreme God; ithlon, any
building like a house; mexih, light
through which souls are purified;
naim, combined telephone and tele
photo; navez, night, also goddess
of night, also secret forces of na
ture; nosses, the moon; surada, to
sing, or I sing; teka or tekl, gold
coin of Atlantis worth $2.67.
As to religion, the countess says
It was a little along the lines of
the present Hebraic idea, a Mono
theism which did not recognize a
Trinity. It did recognize a Chrlst
splrit, but thlH was the endeavor to
do one’s best, which endeavor
brought salvation.
As to her former Incarnation be
ing that of a boy, the countess says,
"The soul Is sexless. Every person
who studies reincarnation knows
that the soul comes hack many
times ns man, many times as wom
an. In our own Scriptures the Idea
Is expressed crudely, ‘ln Heaven
there shall be no marriage or glv-

ATLANTA, Ga.—The largest shipment of expen

agents.
The liquor—24,ooo quarts of Scotch, rye and Cham

Captain Grover C. Fain, of the Atlanta police depart

CONGRESSMAN IS
PUT ON TRIAL
FOR BREAKING
PROHI Li
BALTIMORE—Before the c«*e of
Representative John Philip Hill, the
Baltimore member of Congress who
is charged with violations of the
Volstead act in tho manufacture
and possession of wine and cider
waa called in the United States
court here Monday, Mr. Hill said
that he would not deny any of the
material facte in the cate.
"What wo are after,” he said, "is
an interpretation of section 29 of
of Volstead act a* it applies to wine
and cider. It is poisible the court
may rule that the less one-half of
one per cent, regulation in the Vol
stead act applies to home-made
wine and cider. In that ease I would
expect to be found guilty and the
ease would be carried on appoal to
a higher court. If the court agrees '
with officials of the prohibition unit J
as evidenced in letters in my pos- ,
esssion from them, the one-half of I
one per cent, provision does not ap- I
ply, then we will expect the jury to I
determine what it intoxicating in
Fact.”
SIX COUNTS IN
THE INDICTMENTS
The Indictments against Mr. Hill ■
contained six counts and uro the
result of the manufacture by him i
at his home here of fruit wine and ,
cider which he said contained 2.75 j
per cent. alcohol, the purpose being ,
an effort to have legally defined the ]
phrase “Intoxicating liquor” as It j
occurs In the Volstead act.
During his trlnl he will attempt
to prove. It Is understood, that It
was not the Intention of congress
to Include cider and non-lntoxlcat
ing fruit Juices, as both ordinarily
are made and used, within the pur
view of Intoxlrattng liquor, that
neither congress nor any court of
competent Jurisdiction has under
taken to fix a limit of alcoholic
strength which would render non
lntoxlcatlng cider when made ex- |
cluslvely in the home —Intoxicating
In fact; that home-made cider and
wine may contain more than one
half of one per cent, alcohol without
being Intoxicating and that home
made cider and wine made ex
clusively for home use, are legal re
gardless of alcoholic content.
Mr. Hill has summoned Prohibi
tion Commissioner Roy A. Haynes
and James E. Jones, the commis
sioner’s assistant, ns witnesses In
his behalf, claiming that ne fol
lowed lnatructlons received from
Mr. Haynea In manufacturing the
