TILLMAN ONLY tai KS
PLY is AWAITING DEYEI-
OPMENTS

WASHINGTON, Feb 23.-Neither Sen
ators Tillman nor McLaurin were disposed
to enter into any discussion today regard
ing the happenings in the senate yester.
day. Senator Tillman, however, said
$50 far as my own purposes are con-
cerned, I am simply awaiting develop
ments and will act in accordance with
my judgment as they unfold themselves
McLaurin declined to make any state
ment whatever.
The topic of chief interest today every
where in official Washington, was the
fight in the senate yesterday afternoon
between the senator's. There have been a
number of conferences among senators as
to what should be done to preserve the
dignity of the senate and to manifest it's
sentiment with reference to the two sen,
atorS who violated its traditions.
Senator Burrows is chairman of the
committee on privileges and elections and
tonight said that in advance of any meet
ing of the committee he could not say
what would be done. 1t will be a day or
two before the committee meets to take
up the resolution referred to it by the
senate.
1t is understood the conferences among
senator's have shown the existence of
considerable sentiment that the apologies
made by the South Carolina senator's are
not deemed sufficient and that the COM
mittee will require other and more ample
apologies to be submitted to it in writing
The whole matter, as stated in the senate
debate yesterday, is without precedent
and the senate is now to make prece-
dent in the matter of puniEEment and in
requiring sufficient apology.

over Canada, from Edmonton in the
Northwest territories, to Lindsay, Ont,
and they were the best in the land.
Every time we lost out it was by a small
score. All the men from ST. Paul curled
at times as if they could not be beaten,
but then again the sticky ice would both
er them, and the results of their work
would not be SO good. On the whole I
think that st. Paul has every reason to
feel proud of the work done by the Kinks
that represented it in Winnipeg.
"As to the points, I ran FOUL Of some
started and the heat of the sun on the
roof caused the frost crusted there to
begin dropping on the ices which was
soon covered in a manner that prohibited
any good work. I scored the highest. of
any curling at that time, but those who
had begun in the morning, when the ice
was in comparatively good condition,
made such score that made it impossi-
bic for me to win out.
There is no question that ST. Paul will
be represented at this bonspieI next
winter. and with any fair amount of luck
we shall endeayor to give a better ac-
count of ourselves than we did during
the past week"
