ARGUMENTS IN QUAY CASE
Purely Legal Phases of the Question
Presented Before the senate
Committee.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-An investigation
of the right of former Senator Quay of Penn
sylvana to a seat in the senate by appoint
ment of the governor of Pennsylvania was
begun today by the senate committee on
privileges and elections The hearing was
purely legal argument on the rights of the
governor to make the appointment in the
circumstances which arose in the case OF
Quay-a question which repeatedly has been
threshed over by the senate in other cases.
John r. EllSin, attorney general of Penn
sylvania, said that he would address the
committee on behalf of the commonwealth
OF Pennsylvania. Former Senator Edmunds
announced that he would appear for thee
who demonstrated against the seating OF Mr.
Quay and that he had as coadjutors Hampton
l.. Carson and George Wharton Pepper.
w. j. Bremen, an attorney Of Pittsburg,
announced his appearance for the demo-
cratic members of the Pennsylvania legisla-
ture and that he had associated with him
James A. Stranahan.
In the course CT his opening argument Mr.
Elkins cOntended that sovereign state was
at all times entitled TO full representation In
the senate according TO the spirit and letter
of the constitution. The intention OF the
trainers Of the constitution was to keep the
representation of the state complete, and h
maintained that the governor, having au-
thority 10 appoint senator to fiji a vacancy
cauaed by death resignation, disqualification
or expulsion, had also full power to appoint
in the event the legislature failed OF its duty
to elect.
He said that the failure OF the leg g,slature
to perform its duty ought net and could not
operate to the states disadvantage in the
senate.
Attorney General Elkin was followed by
Hampton L. Carson. As he was about to
begin his argument Senator Penrose OF
Pennsylvania interrupted him to inquire:
''Do you not appear here as the paid Gttor-
ney of John Wanamaker?"
Mr.. Carson replied that he did not ap-
pear In the pay of Mr. Wanamaker or in that
OF anybody else.
Former Senator Edmunds then seizel the
opportunity to disclaim for himself any
connection with Mr.. Wanamaker In the case.
Carson presented an elaborate legal ANA
constitutional argument against the seating

The modern method OF treating affections
of the nose, throat, bronchial tubes and
lungs is a great Improvement over those
formerly in vogue with physicians. Until
recently doctors failed to reach diseases in
the deeply situated tubes OF the lungs, be
cause the only means they had of applying
the medicines to the air passages consisted
of sprays, and when they attempted to pass
the spray into the deep air passages they
failed because a moisture laden spray was
never meant to enter the lungs, and it con-
densed in the upper air passages where II
lodged and the medication never got into
the lungs at all

With Doctor Shepard 1t was not a question
of new remedies but of a more complete and
perfect plan of using those remedies which
years of experience had shown were the
proper ones fer those diseases that attack
the nasal passages, the chambers III the
bcneN of the head, the air tubes and the
breathing structures of the lungs.
