Springfield. Ills, Feb. 20. The

SENATOR KrLEY's SENSATION
Has To BE Developed in the Absence OF
Fair Visitors to the Chamber.

Springfield. Ills. Feb. 20.-In the
senate yesterday, just before adjourn
ment, Riley arose to Il question OF
personal privilege and asked that the
lady guests on the platform with Lieu
tenant Governor NorthcOtt, and those
on the floor of the senate and i'll the
galleries, retire After their retirement
he addressed the senate as follows:
MIR. President-Within the last
twenty-four hours reports have come to
me concerning rumors circulated upon
the floor of this senate and elsewhere
upon subject which ought to be al
luded toonly by indrection. Here Riley
explained the rumorS he complained of
sufficiently clear to give the members
an inkling of their character and then
proceeded:
Il wish 10 say, Mr.. President. that
these rumors have been circulated, L
believe for the purpose OF bringing me
into contempt and ridicule with the
most responsible. and in my opinion the
most representative. senators of this
body. l characterize the statements as
false malicious and cowardly. l be-
lleNP IDcN tIOIh lllOSt W liO =
animated by motives that only come
from an abandoned and malignant
heart. l believe those who are respOn-
sible for the statements made, and
which have come to my hearing. have
the character of an assassin and |
charge them that If they are hurt by
any words l utter here today l am
ready and hold myself responsible to
them in any way they may see fit to
call upon me-"
Riley's statement came as a great
surprise to the members of the senate,
and during his talk the silence in the
chamber was almost painful. Lieuten-
ant Governor NOrthcott was almost
taken off his feet by the suddenness
with which Riley arose. He. however,
regained his composure sufficiently to
say that The president is uniformed
as to the nature of the senator's com
munication. The members of this
body have heard what he has to say,
and the president will entertain n mo-
! ton to adjourn" After the senate adj
journed Senator Riley remained in his
seat for an. hour or SO, evidently labor
| ing under great excitement. He re
! fused to discuss the matter further
than to say that the reports circulated
were most damaging to his character
and reputation.

squaqb1e as to Reference.

Tice introduced Il bill to provide for
n uniform system of text books in the
public schools. He asked that it be re-
ferred to the Judiciary committee.
Nohc, Chairman of the committee on
education, insisted that it be referred
TO his committee. Tice replied that he
had no criticism to make on the COM
mittee on education, but that the bill
was one which should be passed upon
by lawyers. and for that reason it
ought to go to the judiciary commit
tee. Speaker Miller took the matter

CollegianS Prove Easy Marks for

BALTIMORE, May 22.-The Maryland
Athletic Club administered a singing
defeat to Georgetown College here this
afternoon by the score of II to 3, in a
dull and embarrassing game
The blue and gray lads were never in
the running, and up to the eighth in
ming were unable to send run across
the plate. Bullock. the crack twirler of
the local team, held the collegians at
his mercy in every other inning. In the
eighth, for Georgetown, Schiller went
out on grounder 10 first Fay doubled
to center. Morgan placed a hit 10 left
for one bag and Fay ambIed home. Dor
man connected with one of Bullock s
shoots and Morgan scored Bean threw
the ball wide trying to catch Morgan at
the plate on the play, and Drill followed
run getting for Georgetown.
The Marylanders outplayed the col
legians at every point of the game, both
outbatting and outfelding them. The
home team took liking to Seitz' de-
livery in the early part of the contest,
and drove him out of the box. Fay, who
succeeded him on the slab, did much
better.
