"PETITlONS AGAINST

Senator Dubois Takes Issue With
Hoar, Declaring Question of seat.
ing Mormon Should BE Weighed.

Washington, Nov. H.-Immediately upon
assembling to-day the Senate plunged into
discussion of the question Of the eiigibil-
ity of Reed Smoot of Utah to a seat in
the Senate.
The debate grew out Of the remarks
made yesterday by Mr.. Hoar. saying that
resolutions bearing on MIR. Smoot's case
are as much out of place as would similar
petitions to the Supreme Court Of the
United States be In the interest Of any
case before that tribunal
Mr.. Dubois of Idaho took issue to-day
with Mr.. Hoar'S remarks and presented
his views in connection with the petitions
for Mr.. Smoot's expulsion, which were
presented by himself
II contend" he said. that these various
objections Of Christian men and women
have right Of petition. OF course. we all
appreciate that this is judicial question.
which must be determined by the facts,
but it is not an idle question, and it is
properly before the Senate.
"All the petitioners ask Is that we study
the case aIefu.ly before passing upon
1t. They know what they are doing. They
try and should not be discouraged. They
scarcely expect to influence our votes but
1t Is to be hoped that the petitions will
at least have the effect of causing US to
pause and give careful attention to their
representations.
"If the allegations now on file with tho
Committee on Privileges and Elections
a Senator here who would vote to have
MT. Suoot continue in his seat, but II they
are not proven, 1 think we would all unite
in asking him to remain"

Coach Todd o. the Christian Brothers
eleven is making careful preparations for
to-morrow's game with the Gem City
Business College team of Quincy, III. c.
B. C looks for victory.
He realizes. however, that the Quincy
eleven has not drawn the line on strict
amateurism any too close, and knows they
will put up a strong team in the field
against his boys.
For three hours yesterday he had his
eleven cut on the campus going through
hard work.
During the workout Jimmy Rlordon dis
played all his old-time form as a kicker.
Three times fr succession he sent the
oval whiZzing through the uprights from
the hfty-yard line, and one came within a
few inches of putting the pig hide through
from the siXty-yard line.
RIORDON BACK IN FORM.
Riordon's leg is all right now and he Is
kicking better than he has done at any
time this season.
