COke'S RETIREMENT.

The Subject of Much Comment I'm Con.
gressional Circles.
WAsHISGToN, March 15.-The an
nounced Withdrawal from public life o,
Senator Coke of Texas has been tn.
cause of much comment here. His col
leagues in the senate have many o,
them expressed regret at this decision
on his part. There ore few more popu.
lar men in the senate than Mr.. Coke.
He has been for years one of Ghe solid
democratic pillars of that body. His
work has been for the most part quiet
and modest, but none the less effective.
He has been a senator with strong con.
victions. He has always acted upon
them promptly and unfiinchingly. The
open honesty of his course and his ut.
ter candor in all things coming up for
senatorial consideration have made him
very popular with his colleagues. They
will truly regret his departure.
On the house side most speculation is
given to the senatorial succession
Affairs have not yet been developed
sufficiently to make known the candi
dates. The leading senatorial posslbil
ity is Representative Culberson. lIav.
ing been candidate for the senate
once before it Is natural to suppose that
he will be again now. So far he dc
clines TO make any statement on tho
subject. The fact that his son, the
present attorney general of Texas, il
an avowed candidate for governor in
the coming election is a conflicting in
cident which may tend to keep the
senior Culberson out of the race.
Representative Sayers is being i'm.
portuned with numerous letters and
requests that he make the race. 1t is
conceded by everyone that il he should
run he would be formidable candi.
date. But Mr.. Sayers so far declares
that lie has no idea of entering the
race. 1t would not be surprising II the
youngest of the Texas delegation. Rep
resentative Bailey, should announce
himself a candidate for the senate or
an antiadministration platform.
Mr.. Bailey is, however, keeping his
own counsel, and it is only known tha,
he intends to run for the senate ai
some time in the future. Among the
candidates at home Ex-Governor Ross
and ex-senator Chiffon are regarded in
the eyes of the delegation here as the
strongest and most promising.

thur Noegtlin Of New York. the best
known scenic artist in the United

She testified on the stand that her
husband threatened several times

He says that the action was instigated
and supported by Hector Rosenfeld. a
wealthy photographer, who loaned the
plaintiff S400 to bear the expenses of

gave the money. but says it was be-
cause the plaintiff was friend OF the
family. He checked her baggage for
her when she started for Sioux Falls
and loaned her $780, The court took
the case under advisement.
