Chandler says lie Is in Earnest in Try ing
TO 0ust Martin.
The brief fllbuster yesterday in the Sen
ate, which was precipitated by Senator Chan
dler's motion to declare the seat of Senator
Martin, of Kansas, vacant. was the beginning
of the tactics which some Of the Republican
Senators have decided upon for the purpose
of delaying legislation. and is recognized by
the Democrats and confessed by some of the
Republicans.
Whether the policy will be persisted in by
frequent demonstrations like that made yes-
terday. according 10 the best information OBJ
tainable. viii depend upon whether the ap-
propriation bills make as slow progress as
shall comport with the ideas of the Repub-
lican Senators who advocate the policy of
obstruciing legislation by the Democrats.
Senator Chandler when asked for an ex-
PLANTATION of the meaning of his resolution
replied:
I'VE mean TO get Martin out if we can. and
after that is accomplished to get Roach un-
seated and have Republicans elected in their
places. With this done and with the new
Wyoming and Montana Republican Senators
seated, and with the Washington vacancy
filled by Republicans. We will not only have
the Democrats in a minority but we will come
near having q Republican majority We
shall then be in shape to bring relief to the
country by settling the financial problem
which the Democrats have shown themselves
Incapable Of doing while in the majority
MIR. Chandler declared himself il earnest.
Senator Faulkner did not regard the fill
buster as n serious matter. and said that il
was intended TO temporarily delay matters
until the Democrats should announce their
order Of business, which would be soon.

Mrs. Manford Riley, Who Deserted Her
Husband, Is Now a Drunkard.
Mrs. Jane Riley was last year a happy
young wife, living in comfort with her hus-
band, Manford Riley, contractor. To-day
she is an outcast from society. It is the
same old story. She listened to the fattery
of gay sewing machine agent and ran
away with him.
The man soon discarded her for new
flame and she took to drink. Wednesday
she returned to the scene of her former hap
piness and sought to drown her sorrow in
strong drink. Policeman Foley found her
stretched out in the snow near lexington,
drunk and nearly frozen.
In Judge Kimball's court yesterday she
was charged with yagrancy. She agreed to
leave town, and the court placed her in
charge of Sanitary Officer Frank. few
hours later she was on train speeding away
from the place where she was once beloved
and respected. The woman had al last been

Bad Wound from the Beast.
A ragged and forlorn-looking tramp, who
gave his name as John MIddendorf. linped
into the operatlng-room of the Emergency
Hospital last evening. Barring his leg, which
was badly lacerated, he said:
doc, this wound was made by bulldog

DR.. Shortlidge examined the wound and
found that oyer square inch of flesh was
missing from Middehdorf's limb. After dress
