Total ayes 40. Absent—Aldrich, Frazier and Ter rell. While no pairs -were announced, Senator Aldrich was paired on other questions with Senator Terrel, both being absent on account of illness. Senator Taliaferro’s silence may sig nify a pair with Senator Frazier, who 1 was absent on account of the death of his mother. Mr. Taliaferro has been understood to be pro-Lorimer. There Is one vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Hughes of Colorado, leaving the present voting strength of the senate 91, and 46, a qurom. Mr. Lorimer got a majority of the sitting members. The position of Senators Frazier and Terrell, who were absent were an nounced as both anti-Lorlmer. There is a general understanding that Senator Aldrich would have fav ored Lorimer. Nothing was stated on the floor regarding his attitude. Large Attendance. When at 11 o’clock the senate con vened with a large attendance of members, most of the senators appear ed anxious to expedite business with a view to getting at the Lorimer case at the first possible moment. Senator Stone was an exception. He Insisted upon the full reading of the long jour nal of yesterday and upon the most minute attention to all details. On the conclusion of the routine business, Senator Owen of Oklahoma secured the floor and began a speech in oppo sition to Mr. Ixirimer. The Illinois senator was among the members on me floor while Mr. Owen was speak ing. He occupied a chair against the wall of the chamber and appeared to be giving the closest atention to the ■Oklahoman. Before Mr. Owen began his speech Mr. Beveridge had shown a disposi tion to hasten rather than impede the proceedings. He refused to permit the transaction of any other than neces sary business. Stain Had Been Left. “I am sorry for Wm. Lorimer,” said Senator Owen, impressively, as he (took the floor. Elaborating upon his sympathy fm the Illinois senator, Mr. Owen still (maintained that a stain had been left ; upon Lorimer’s good name by the manner of his election to the senate. There has been corruption and bribery in that occurrence, contended the Oklahoma senator, and he said that It wa s Impossible not to believe that Lorimer had not known what was transpiring. Mr. Owen following an interruption by Mr. Heyburn then read a telegram (Continued on Market Page.) FOR THE CHILDREN Some one has said, “Save a man and you save a soul; save a child and you save a soul plus a life." This idea is hack of the work Lindsey 1* doing in the juvenile court; back of the service Jane Addams is ren dering to humanity in Hull House; back of the social center movement now spreading from state to state; back of the Ten-Hour Law for Wo men; back of the fight to wipe out the child labor disgrace;—back of all men’s efforts to conserve child life. And It is this idea that should prompt every man and woman throughout this wide land to urge his sentative in the lower House of Congress to vote for the bill creat ing the Children's Bureau. Conservation of our natural resources Is a very important and necessary duty; but not more so than the conserva tion of the children, through which will come highly efficiency, more dif fused happiness, and nobler achievement for the whole human race. Let us all M'ork together to secure the speedy passage of this bill. The ses sion is drawing to a close. There is need to act quickly. Write your Congressman today.—LaFollette’s Weekly. HEW FRENCH PREMIER IS EXPERIENGINGJIFFICOLTY Only Portfolios Definitely Ac cepted Are Those of Finance, War and Navy. Paris.—Antoine Monis is experienc ing some difficulty in organizing a ministry, but it is expected he will announce his definite acceptance of the premiership to President Fallieres during the day and it is possible that he will make known his associates to night. Former Premier Ribot has declined the proffer of the ministry of foreign affairs and Senator Raymond Poincare to whom this portfolio was next of fered said that he would give his de cision later. M. Caillaux has definitely accepted the post of minister of finance. He served in the same capacity in the Clemenceau cabinet. Last night M. Monis announced that M. Delcasse had accepted the portfolio of marine and M. Berteaux that of war. As he was driving about Paris in a motor car today on his mission of cabinet making, M. Monis, who did not disclose his identity, was stopped en route to the Elysee Palace by a po liceman who summoned the chauffeur to court for violating the speed regu lations. The new premier continued his campaign after a little delay. BLEASE NOT TO PUT BAN ON EXHIBITION BOUTS Carolina’s Governor Says Con tests With Gloves With No Reward at Stake Are 0. K. Columbia, S. C.—-Governor Blease, discussing a recent reported boxing match in Camden, at which a com batant took the count with two ribs broken, said: “Well, I have nothing to do with that. If Johnson and Jef fries come here and put on a bout, the law cannot molest them, so long as they do not fight for money or some other reward. It is a ‘prize fight’ that our law bars, nothing else.” The governor’s intimation was that he would not interfere with exhibition bouts or with any fistic mill not fairly describable as a "prize fight.” In this connection, it is Interesting to recall a denial by the governor, be fore his inauguration, of a story from New Orleans, to the effect that as surances had been given horse racing interests that they would be protected by tho Blease administration In case they decided to establish a metropoli tan circuit track in this state. The governor said then, however .that he ioved a good race and would like to see one, although he had not actually witnessed a horse race since his 21st year.

TUFT SENDS DATA OF TARIFF BOARD Transmits Information In Re sponse to Resolution of Sena tor Cummins. ANSWER UNSATISFACTORY PROBABLY TO THE IOWAN Friends and Foes of Canadian Trade Agreement Think Sit uation is Unchanged. Washington.—President Taft’s re sponse to a resolution introduced into the senate by Mr. Cummins, asking for data gathered by the tariff board in respect to articles covered by the proposed Canadian reciprocity agree ment and many articles which the agreement does not include, was read In the senate today. The answer prob ably will prove unsatisfactory to the lowa senator, unless it was his pur pose to show, by statements from the board, that there had been insufficient information gathered to proceed Intel ligently with a tariff discussion of the articles named. The inquiry by the Cummins resojution embraced pulp, wood, wood pulp paper, woo], woolen thread, cloth, and clothlng > cot ton thread, cloth and clothing; car pets, boots and shoes, iron ore, pig iron and manufactured iron and steel agricultural implements, coal, meats, flour and lumber. The President trans mitted the information concerning such articles as are Included by the Can adian agreement. He said. Current Prices. “I transmit herewith a report from the tariff board giving the Informa tion in its possession, relating to pulp wood, pulp and news print paper and farm products (Including live stock) and current relative prices In Canada and the United States of wheat, bar ley and food products of th farm, In cluding meats, poultry and eggs, dairy products and vegetables. What Farmers Buy. The evident purpose of Mr. Cum mins In presenting his resolution was to show that the tariff hoard did not take into consideration articles which farmers must buy in making an agree ment w-hlch, opponents of the McCall bill Insist, affects only such articles as the farmer has to sell. Neither friends nor foes of the re ciprocity agreement believed today that the situation of that proposition had materially changed. DRUNK WHEN MARRIED; NOW WANTS RELEASE Columbia, S. C.—Attorney Geo. R. Rembert, representing the plaintiff, appeared before Judge Robert O. Copes In Richland court and askeff for an annulment of the marriage of Walter T. Reckling and Alma Wil liams. The defendant made no re sponse after the notice was served, and the case was referred to Mr. A. u. McFadden, master in equity, who was instructed to take testimony and make a report of hi g findings. The annullment was sought on the grounds that Reckling was intoxicated at the time of the marriage; that the woman took advantage of his condi tion, and that when he recovered his mind he repudiated the marriage and refused to recognize the matrimonial bond. It Is further charged against the woman that she has a lawful hus nand living and that she Is further more a woman of notorious character.

DETAINED AT* *Q U ARAN TIN E New York—The steamer Caron la, which arrived yesterday from the Med iterranean ports where cholera was re cently prevalent and was detained at quarantine because of a suspicious case of Illness on board, was released this morning. The result of the ex amination was negative. There is a loftier ambition than merely to stand high in the world. It is to stoop down and lift mankind a little higher. There is a nobler character than that which is merely incorrupt ible. It is the character which acts as an antidote and preven tive of corruption. Fearlessly to speak the words which hear witness to righteousness and truth and purity; patiently to do the deeds which strengthen vir tue and kindle hope In your fel lowmen;, generously to lend a hand to those who are trving to climb upward; faithfully to give your personal help to the ef forts which people are making to elevate and purify the social life of the world—that is what It means to have salt In your character. —Henry Van Dyke.

Chicago.—Efforts to settle a strike of linotype operators on two local pa pers continued t« day |tnd the other morning papers, by agreement, limited issues to four pages only.

The usual forenoon editions of the evening papers were not issued. The publishers hoped to put two editions on the street in reduced form instead of the customary half dozen or more. President O’Brien, of Chicago Typo graphical Union No. 16, has ordered the strike In only one office. So far as possible type for this publication was being set in the other three even ing plants. Officers of the chapels as the individual union organizations of each office are called, met to consider the situation. The question before them was whether to stand by Mr. O’Brien, who ordered the strike, or by James M. Lynch, of the Internatloanal Typo graphical Union,- who has officially declared the strike to he "unauthoriz ed, illegal and unwarranted.” TO RECONVENE CAUCUS AT SHEEHAN’S SUGGESTION Insurgents Who Balked at First One Will Not Partici pate in Second.

Just how "the regulars” In the party will take the Intimation of Wm. F. Sheehan, that he Is ready to step aside if a reconvened caucus expresses a desire that he should do so, docs not appear. It Is known, however, It Is a foregone conclusion that the In surgents who refused to enter the first caucus will not participate In a sec ond one should it be called. The indications are that if it is de cided to act upon Mr. Sheehan's sug gestion the caucus will he reconvened tomorrow. NO TRACE OF BANDITS WHO ROBBED R’WAY.

RODIN PLEADS GUILTY TODAY RE LARCENI Jerome Withdrew From De fense. Through Other Counsel Admits Theft of $27,000.

Robin pleaded guilty lu the supreme court today to a charge of larceny of $27,ff00 from the Washington Savings Bank , of which he was president. Although a jury selected after two days tedious work was ready to try the Indicted banker reports persisted before the convening of the court that the necessity of placing the evidence in (he case before the Jurymen would be obviated by the presentation of a plea of guilty for Robin. A consultation of his counsel and friends it was said had resulted in the conclusion that an Insanity plea would not stand Inasmuch as on* jury ha»s already, despite unanimous med ical testimony to the contrary, de clared the fallen hanker sane. Seven More. Seven indictments remain against Robin. He was remanded to the Tombs until March 17th, when he will be sentenced. The collapse of Robin’s defense of Insanity, put forward by his slater. Dr. Louise Roblnovitch, and his coun sel. Wm. Travers Jerome, had been foreshadowed last nlghi when It was reported that Robin said he wsh "tired of all this;” but it caused a stir In the court room nonetheless. On the night before the Northern Bank of New York In which Robin was also interested went into the* hands of the state superintendent of hanks, Robin was committed to a private sanitarium on affidavits sworn out by his sister and two phy sicians. The sanitarium rejectod him and he returned to the jurisdiction of the court and submitted to arrest. On the day ho was arrested Robin at tempted suicide on the way to court by swallowing a dose of poison, hut the prompt use of a stomach pump saved him. Had "Horse Sense.” On motion of Jerome, alienists were appointed by the state and defenso to examine his sanity and reported unanimously that he was incompetent to undertake a defense. A jury sit ting under Judge Swann rejected the findings of the alienists and Judge Swann complimented the Jury on Its “horse sense.” The case came to trial on Monday and Jerome’s preliminary motions to dismiss on the ground that the de fendant was Insane were overruled by Justice Soabury. Jerome decided to withdraw from the defense and Robin through other counsel pleaded guilty. Through Robin’s operations the Washington Savings Bank, the North ern Bank of New York, the Carnegie Trust Company and a string of minor concerns which he promoted went Into Insolvency. No full statement of his larcenies has yet been made public by the state examiners. Robin, on hla plea of guilty, may he given an indeterminate sentence of not loss than five years and not more than ton years.
