DEMOCRATIC SENATORS
They Reorganize with German at the
Head OF the Caucus and Steering
COMMITTEES.

Washington. March There was
but one feature of Capitol city news
yesterday of any particular general in
terest and that was the reOrganiZa-
ton of the Democratic caucus, with
German at its head. This is the po-
sition he held when he was retired
from the senate and twenty-eight of
the thirty-three Democratic senators
were present to vote him in unani-
mOuSly. The balance of the caucus
session was devoted to general dis
cuSsion of the necessity of Democratic
harmony. and the matter of filling va
cancies on the committees of the sen
ate.
German had the steering committee
increased from seven to nine mem
bers, and after the adjournment OF
the caucus he named it as follows
German, Cockrell, Martin of Virginia
Bacon, Dubois, Money, Pailey OF
Texas, Blackburn and Tillman. The
new members on the committee arc
German, Blackburn and Tillman.

DAVENPORT DOTS

Fanny KimbalI. alias Drunken
Fanny" an East Side strong arm
worker faced Magistrate Finger yes
terday morning on the charge of
robbing Charles Miller, who in an
hour of evil purpose wandered into
the unholy precincts of East Front
street. Fannie secured possession of
$3.50 from Miller, and this caused her
arrest, which was effected by Officer
Swanson. When brought to trial
Fanny asked for an attorney, and
when list was shown her she select
ed Attorney l.. II. Campbell, to defend
her. Mr.. Campbell asked a continu-
ance in order to secure witnesses
wherewith to try the case. He was
granted the postponement. When the
woman was arrested she was admit
ted to bail in the sum of $15. This
morning the charge was changed from
one under the ordinance to one under
the statutes, and therefore the magis-
trate fixed her bond for bail at $500.
Fanny's crime was similar one to
that perpetrated by Marie Payne and
Nettie Perkins, for which both ne
crosses are now serving time at the
Anamosa penitentiary.

Foreign trade continues very heavy.
