Senator Turpte Pleads for This Mode OF
Choosing senators.
WAsHINGToN, Dec. 9.-Senator Tur-
pie (dem., Ind. presented vigorous
argument in favor of resolution pro-
vidina for the election of senators by a
direc. vote of the people. He said:
when we recall the harsh ordinations, the
gross charges OF pecuniary corruption and Of
fraudulent combination or intrigue, disgrace
full and dishonorable to the whole body with
which a prolonged senatorial contest Is
accompanied, whether in party conference or
in the open assembly, the removal Of such a
procreant evil should be deemed a prime polit-
ical necessity. 1t has heretofore been said
that the Grand Central railway has chosen q
senator In a certain state: that the Grand
Central bank has chosen another else
where and that the Central Association
OF Mining and Manufacturers have de-
feated or elected a third Nothing is in
tended to be assumed here concerning
the truth or falsity of these assertions accu-
sations. But these malfeasant charges
have an existence. The way of this
radiance is plain II the choice OF
were left to the mass Of voters in the
state, these perilous ordinations would be
infinitely lessened They would altogether
disappear. No reasonable grounds could be
given for their support.
Senator Turpie claimed that the
proposed change would not disturb in
the slightest degree the special rela-
tions existing between the senators
and the states which they represent.
and that its only object would be to
have senator's chosen by the suffrages
of the whole people of state instead
of by the suffrages of a very small
minority. No action was taken on the
resolution.

TRAGEDY IN KENTUCKY.
Betrayer of q Young Girl Kills Her Father
and Brother

IS Il Z
ASHLAND, KY, Dec. IA tragedy
that will end in the loss of three lives
occurred late Wednesday night at a
small hamlet called Fultz, 3Omiles out
on the Chesapeake & Ohio railway, in
Carter county. For the past six
months. Thomas James, a whisky ped
dler, representing himself to be a
cattle drover, has been clandestinely
meeting the comedy daughter Of Farmer
George Fultz The parents of the
girl, knowing the real character Of
the man, forbade her having anything
to do with him, and supposed she was
obeying them, until her condition be-
came such as to arouse suspicion.
Then, after being brought to task
about 1T, she confessed her meetings
with James and their consequences.
The enraged father secured the as
sistance of his son, George, Jr., and his
son-in-law and went in search of
James. He was found at church,
where a series of revival meet
ings were being held. When the
old gentleman took him aside the
trouble was not 81 long in de-
veloping, and Fultz was Instant
ly killed by a bullet through
his heart. The sons then took hand,
and when the pistols were emptied the
younger Fultz was also dead and the
son-in-law, John Phyllis, was mortally
wounded, bullet having passed en-.
tirely through his head, entering at
the temple and coming out at the OPP
posite jaw. James escaped injury, APP
parently, as he vaulted over fence
into the underbrush and made good
his escape.

intimate for some time. The elope-
ment was different from the conven-

Pearce at his hotel, the Sherman house,
earlier in the evening. Mr.. Brandt
was the central figure in stormy
scene, and his warning for the minis

with him everything in the way of

FERDINAND DE LESSEPS.
the distinguished man was subjected
during the Panama canal scandals,
trials and results.
Ferdinand Marie, Viscount de Lesseps, was
born in Versailles. November II. 1905. He
received his early education in Paris,
but finished it with his father, consu-
lar agent, and lived with him in
Philadelphia in 1922 He was consular
agent at Lisbon in 1925 to 1927, ana
served afterwards at Tunis, Alexandria,
Cairo Rotterdam. Malaga and BARGE
Iona He was then appointed sue
cessively minister to Spain and to Rome
While on a visit to Egypt in 1854 he disclosed
the project of Suez canal to Said Pasha and
two years later secured the desired conces-
sion. The canal was opened for steamers Of
light draught in 1865 and the full plans
were carried to completion in 1859. Since
1873 Count de Lesseps has concen-
trated his attention to the Panama CANAL
1t was in 1875 that de Lesseps inaugurated
the movement that eliminated in the canal
congress of 1879 and the adoption of the
scheme for uniting the Atlantic and Pacific
at the isthmus Of Panama. From the begin
ming the aged engineer and diplomat seems
to have been as badly deceived and victim
lied as the public. Lying circulars were
issued. and the Paris and Panama papers
were induced to aid in the deception of inves-
tors. The magic Of the name of de Lesseps
caused the thrifty peasantry allover France to
open their wooden stockings. and gold poured
into the Panama treasury in a flood. The story
of the extravaganza and corruption which fol-
lowed IS still fresh in the public mind. 1t con-
stitutes one Of the most disgraceful, as well
as one Of the most gigantic swindles in his
torv
At the time the exposure came the actual
cost OF the completed fraction of the canal
variously estimated at one-fourths one-fifth
and one-tentA-was $3.50 900 OoO more than
double the first estimate OF the entire work.
The money had gone into extravagant
and useless outlay and into the pockets
Of the conspirators and those Of leading
statesmen and journalists in Paris. There
was not sufficient evidence that either de
I.esseps or his son had received any of the
money in a corrupt way. but to satisfy the
public rage both were convicted, although the
sentence against de Lesseps, ST., was never
carried out.

HOLDS ITS OWN.
But Very Little Change Is Apparent In
Business Circles.


Business Circles.
NEW YORK, Dec. S.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
weekly review of trade says:
ut is difficult to detect any change in cur
rent business. Prospects for business after
January are quite generally considered more
hopeful in some branches. There are larger
orders and the west-bound shipments OF mer-
chandise are larger But the working force
is naturally diminished near the end Of the
year, and the holiday traffic brings just now a
temporary activity which is not of much
general significance. The meeting of con-
gress and the announcement of the new,
currency plan and OF various bills
proposed have not affected the situation
perceptibly. Payments for bonds have
been completed without disturbance, but did
not prevent the shipment of some gold to Eu-
rope Friday. On the whole, agricultural
products are scarcely stronger, and wages of
labor do not advance, but there is reason to
expect tho employment of a somewhat larger
working force after the holidays.
