IN A WILD UPROAR
William Warneris Elected
Senator.
Niedringhaus and Kerens Lose in the
Struggle For SenatOrship in
Missouri. Day of Mad
Disorder.
(By the Associated Press. }

Jefferson City, Mo-, March 1S.-In
scenes of the widest disorder, Major
Villa Warner, a Republican of Kan
sas City, was today elected United
States Senator from Missouri to sue
coed Francis Marion Cockrell the
Democratic Senator whose term eX-
pired March 4, and who had occu-
pied the office since 1874 The cleo
ton of Major Warner ended the dead
lock in the Legislature that began
when the first joint ballot was taken
on January Is. Today's joint session
was the 45th, and the elective ballot
was the 67th.
From the beginning the Democrats
steadfastly voted for their aucus NOM
inee, T.. M. Cockrell, while the major
ity of the Republicans voted for Thos.
K. Niedringhaus, of st. Louis. chair
man of the State Central Committee
and caucus nominee. The caucus
nomine was opposed by Richard G.
Kerens, Of st. Louis, former Republi.
can national committeeman, and his
adherents refused to leave him.
When the balloting opened today,
Warner, Niedringhaus, and Cockrell,
were the principal contestants, with a
small vote for Kerens and a scattering
vote for Peck, Parker and Bartholdt.
On the second ballot the supporters of
Kerens returned to him and remained
until the end; Cockrell's vote was I'M
diminished and remained so through
out and Warner had advanced by
drawing from Niedringhaus. Little
change was made during the next four
ballots. while the Democrats clamored
for adjournment and the Republicans
endeavored to fight. The widest dis
order prevailed and time and again the
proceedings were brought to a stand
still by the turmoil. In the midst OF
this, after the sixth ballot had been
taken, r. G. Kerens advanced To the
rostrum and in a few words urged
that if it was the desire of the assem-.
bly, to elect Warner, he be elected
This was practically a withdrawal of
herenS and solved the deadlock
Efforts were made to stop a roll
call on the seventh ballot and there
was an attempt to tear the presiding
officer from his chair, and the Demo-
Gratis tried to effect an adjournment
without an election. The time for sine
die adjournment had been set for 5
o'clock by concurrent resolution.
Aid an uproar that almost baff1ed con-
troll at times, the seventh ballot of the
day was taken, resulting in the cleo
ton of Major Warner. The vote
stood: Warner, 81; Cockreu, 49, Med
ringhaus /. The total vote was 175,
making IS to a choice and Warner
received 3 votes more than the ma !.
jority.
At 8 o'clock the General Assembly
adjourned sine die.
