marks Their Seats May Be Perma-
nently Vacated Later.

Washington. ID. c.. April % Senator
LaFollette of Wisconsin began his speech
on the rate question Yesterday and before
he had talked more than half an hour the
process of senatorial hazing was set afoot.
One by one the senator's walked out, till
there were only about half IL dozen left in
the chamber. The senator talked ahead,
unconcerned for a time, the audience be-
ing as notable for Its size in the gallery
region as IL was for its paucity on the
floor. Then. losing patience. he addressed
himself to the chair. which at the moment
was occupied by Senator Long of Kansas.
Nj President" he said, II pause In my
remarks to note the lack of interest IN
what l have 30 say on the part of senator's
of this body. l desire TO 81. that, how
ever. little I may interest them. the "oun-
try is Interested I'm the things | have to

Senator kean If New Jersey suggested
a call of tie body for a quorum.
You need not send ont for people to
tcome in to hear what I have to say,
replied Senator Lat'ollette. running his
fingers through his militant pompadour
and shaking it at the Jcrseyman. But in
this connection l do want to say that seats

.ders of applause.
Senator kean then moved. While the
chairman was rapping for order. that the
galleries be cleared. The audience an
plaudcd again. But Long was too discreet.
He reminded the audience of the rule
against applause. and La Toilette resumed
his address. He made by far the ablest
and most comprehensive discussion of the
rate question in its general aspects that
the debate has produced. He told the his
tory "f the granger movement. the effects
II produced in the states that enacted the
granger laws. the history of the original
interstate commerce law. and then he
attacked the present bill as Inadequate to
che demands OF the country and asserted
that 4. was only restoring part OF what the
law OF 1855 intended to give in the way of
power to the interstate commission. He
had only half finished when h. allowed the
matter 10 go over till tomorrow. when he
will conclude his remarks.
Ii ~ said that no senator ever before

Of the senatorial haxing. La Toilette deted
