four youngsters could be found to op-
pose the Burns stable, represented by
Traverser and Col. Dan. The eastern colt
romped home half dozen lengths ahead
of his field and proved that no mistake
was made by the trainer who leased MIN
from Virginia Bradley. The time, l:l413'

condition of the track and the easy VIC
tory.

Dolore won, Veragua second, Heritage

Plan a Robbery of Mexican Gam
bling Hall

Ell PASO, Tex, Jan. 1.-THE police OF
Juarez, Mexico have made discovery
that has caused a sensation on both
sides of the Rio Grande. The officials
were informed that a band Of Ameri.
cans had arranged to hold up the Juare2
Fiesta gambling hall at II o'clock last
Sunday night, but the robbers decided to
postpone their raid. A half-breed told
the police that If they would search q
certain saloon the arms Of the robbers
would be found.
The police found in the saloon twelve
rifles and several hundred rounds OF
cartridges. The saloon-keeper, James
Hall, and Lily Rhine, were arrested.
If the robbers had carried out their
scheme Sunday night they would have
secured $50, 900 in the principal gambling
hall, where the money is openly piled on
the tables.
1t is believed that the notorious train
robber "Black Jack" planned the rob-
berry and is in hiding in Juarez.

of the conference were pledged to Sc

they would give out nothing. The only
thing they would say was that the visit
of the board had not amounted to any

outlook than before the conference. The

the watchmen before daybreak, and
their feeling had not abated any when
they met again in the State House.
There We're reports about attempts to
abduct certain members during the
night but none were lost in any of the
alleged escapades. There seemed to be
less curiosity over the result Of the
Joint ballot for Senator than over the
well-advertised dramatic performance
in connection with charges of bribery,
conspiracy and other wrongs, charged
by both sides against each other. And
in the midst of all the cheering there
were sighs of relief from the Wearying
suspense over the action of doubtful
statesmen. 1t will be two weeks next
Friday since Senator Hanna arrived
here, but most of his workers had been
here over two weeks then, and some of
his opponents had been on the sleepless
vigil for months. Even those who had
everything to gain and nothing to lose
seemed to dread further tension of a
deadlock. All We're ready for the cur
tain to drop,
When the House convened at 10
o'clock, Representative Otis was
promptly recognized on a question OF
regarding the Boyce bribery charges.
He said it was due the House and him
self to have an investigation before pro-
ceeding further in the election of a
United State Senator, and offered a reso-
luton accordingly.
On a motion to suspend the rules for
Immediate consideration of the resolu-
tion the vote stood so ayes 56 nays.
On the motion being declared lost,
there were cheers on the Republican
side. The vote was precisely the same
on all the votes cast as on the ballots
for the short and long term Senator yes
terday. There are 109 members of the
House. The Sc Hanna men always
voted solidly. Representative Cramer
was absent, and is still very sick. The
other Democratic members and the
boiling Republicans, 50 in all, voted to-
gether for an investigation before elect
ing a Senator. Representative Stew
art, one of the Hanna leaders, said there
would come a proper time for the in
vestigation, but this was the time for
clecting Senator. He moved to take
a recess until noon. There We're num-
erous dilatory motions, on which the
vote always stood 56 to SO. The motion
for a recess of five minutes was defeat
ed-ayes SO, nays 56, Bramley, Mason

: Cleveland offered a motion demanding
an investigation of the charge that mon
J ey had been offered by workers in the in
terest of Senator Hanna for the vote OF
Representative Otis. The resolution
as introduced by Senator Burke provid-
ed for a committee of five, consisting
of Senators Burke, Robinson, Finck,
Garfield and Long. Senator Burke af-
| forwards requested to have his name
stricken out and that of Senator Sulli-
van was submitted. The committee, as
constituted, consisted of three Demo-
Gratis and two Republicans. A long and
| bitter discussion followed, led by Sena-
tor Burke, for immediate consideration
at the proper time. During the discus
sion it was charged that the considera-
ton of this resolution had been defeated
in the House and that it was a matter
that concerned the House and not the
Senate, but that it had been precipitated.

After Hanna was declared elected Sem

reigned supreme in the hall of the

the Senators and Representatives par
ticipated.
On motion of Senator Alexander,
which was unanimously carried, a COM

Senator Hanna to the hall. The CALLER

Among other things he said:

H. NJ. Dougherty, chairman of the Re-
publican state central committee, fol-
lowed Mr.. Hanna. He announced that
the state central committee would soon
be called together for the purpose of
selecting a man representing the Re-
publican party of Ohio upon the national
committee as the colleague of Mr.. Han
ma, who is not a traitor to his party. This
was readily understood to mean that an
attempt would be made to remove Mr..
Kuartz from the national committee.
