CAMPAIGN AT END
CARMACk AND TAYLOR MAKE
 WHIRLWIND FINISHES.
Managers of Both Candidates Make Sweeping Claims But it Seems Impossible at Present to Pick
 the Winner.

Nashville. Tenn, May 11.-A political campaign of absorbing interest to Tennesseeans, irrespective of party ended in this State tonight. Tomor- row, in a general Democratic primary there will be nominated a candidate to succeed in the United States Sem ate Hon. Edward w. Carmack, whose term expires in March next. MT. Car mack and former Governor Robert L. Taylor are aspiring to the honor. which Is tantamount to election. and the contest they have engaged in has been in many respects memorable.
 On the eve of its decision. any at tempt to forecast the result would be a step in the dark. Both campaign managers have Issued statements mak- ing swapping claims. but they are wide apart and that the vote will be large and close seems the only cer- tain element.
 Of unprecedented length and between men of exceptional personal magnet ism and forensic ability, the cam paign has been characterized by a bitterness and vigor probably never before equalled in Tennessee There has been no joint debate. Governor Taylor declining Senator Carmack' s challenge, but both have spoken in almost ever county and hamlet in the
 
 and arousing hearers to demonstra- tive enthusiasm. For more than a var, the struggle has been on. grow ing in intensity as It progressed Since November. both have been prac- tically continuously on the stump and not the least feature is the power of endurance they have displayed
 Carmack closed with two speeches to monster gatherings in this (Da- vidson) county. the last being in the court house square here tonight Tay- Tor also wound up with two great au- diences in West Tennessee. at Milan and later at Jackson.
 The issues discussed have been main lv personal, Taylor's utterances being marked by tho eloquence. humor and pathos that have made his reputation not confined to Tennessee. He has at the same time, made vigorous on slaught on his opponent and been forceful In argument. Carmaek, not cd for holdness of expression. con- yincine style. brilliant rhetoric and whitening sarcasm, has brought his rowers into play with telling effect Tavlor counts the laboring man as almost solidly in his column, ~@siIe his partisans describe him as the idol of tba backwoodsman and the mountain ger Carmacks friends claim the bus mess men in the cities are largely for hin, and assert that his scathinR arr raieDments of the saloon and lawIess clements has rallied to his banner the temperance forces and the influence Of the clergy.

PARTY LINES VOTE
BAILEY,s RATE BILL AMENDMENT
 WAS BEATEN.
Senate spent Day Tn Turning Down Additions To Bill-LaF-olettc Voted with Democrats, Mor-
 gaa With Republicans.

Washington. May 11.--Senator Bailey's non-suspension amendment ap- plying to orders of the interstate com- merce commission as covered by the railroad rate bill, which has occupied so much of the attention of the Senate in the connection with that bill was today adversely disposed of by the de- cisive vote of 23 to 54, practically a party vote. The debate on the pro- vision was limited to brief political speech by it's author, In which he said the President had changed his attitude on the question of maintaining the rates fixed by the commission until the courts reach final decision.
 An amendment was offered by Senator Rayner and Bailey in advocacy and Allison. Fulton, Long and Cullom in opposition. Tn anticipation of the dis cussion which is expected to occur on the Allison court amendment tomorrow Messrs Bailey and Rayner contended that the Allison amendment author izes the broadest possible court review and the Maryland Senator urged that in 1t Senator Aldrich had achieved a signal victory.
 A number of other amendments, of fered in the main by Democrats and by Senator La Toilette, were rejected The votes were@generally along party lines during the entire day. but the Wisconsin Senator voted with the Democrats on all propositions. and Messrs. McEnery and Morgan, Demo- crats. voted with the Republicans on most of them.
 The only amendments accepted dur ing the day were those offered by Sem ator Allison. striking out the phrase Fairly remunerative." in the provision allowing the interstate commerce com mission to fix rates. limiting the op- erations of the commissions orders to two years and making the interstate commerce commission the defendant in suits challenging the rates fixed by 1t. The anii-pass provision heretofore adopted was again discussed. It Is evident that 1t will be modified.
 Section 5, the court section of the bill, was read and the amendments of MT. Allison. striking out the provi- sion regarding the time when orders of the commission shall take effect and providing that the interstate commerce commission shall be made defendants in suits brought to set aside orders of that body were offered by Mir. Gull lom and adopted. The amendment con- ferring Jurisdiction upon the circuit courts to hear and determine suits brought against the commission was read and that with an amendment which MT. Rayner offered to the amend ment will be considered when the bill Is taken up tomorrow. The Senate will meet again at II o'clock tomor- row.

 Pension Calendar.

Washington. May 11-Representat williams of Mississippi, the minority leader, is persistent in opposition to the transaction of business without proper presentation of bill on their passage to the House.
 When the lower branch of Congress today decided to take up bills on the private calendar, (pension bills,1 MT. Williams insisted that Subway, fN. H) the chairman of the invalid pension committee. should rise and properly move the passage of each bill. As on. 125 of which are Senate bills this will require MT. Subway to rise S2J times.
 As the gentleman from New Hamp- shire is six feet seven inches. tall. Mt. Williams said he believed that this ex- ercise on the part of the tall pihe of the Merrimac," would add something 10 his stature.
 During the consideration of the naval appropriation bill Mir Hepburn of Iowa replied to a speech by MT. Weeks of Massachusetts, Saturday, in which the latter stated that there had been but thirty-seven court martials in forty one years for accidents to and loss of ships. MT. Hepburn said that this total is wholly incorrect and that 1t does not include accidents to the more expensive NeSSeIS or HouerH uate.
 He cited the accident that happen ed to the battleship Rhode Island and recalled the attempt Of a squadron to get out of New York harbor where two vessels were run in the mud and the other two into dangerous collis- ions,
 He recalled also the incident when Admiral Sigsbee ran his vessel into a dock in New York harbor and re- marked: One would suppose that these gentlemen would be familiar with such waters.
 He then read the rebuke adminis- tered by Acting Secretary Newberry to the court of inquiry which recently tried Lieutenant John A. Schofield. IT. s. N. for the lightness of the sentence imnosed and cited this instance as proof that justice is not meted out to those who fail in their simple duty.
 Mir. Weeks replied that if the gentle man from Iowa had made an exhaustive investigation he would have found that there have been just eight cases of a stmiIar nature in the last forty years. and that there have been four times as many cases in which the reviewing aut,orities. always civilian thought tbc sentence was too severe and re- dnced if. as those in which he thought the court too lentent.

Fifteen wounded students were taken Co a hospital for medical treatment. A number of others were slightly hurt.
 k When 1t became known that many students had been injured a general riot was threatened. The mayor ads dressed the students. pleading with them to avoid further trouble. The Mayor offered his services as nurse. assisting the doctors to care for the injured The cause of the trouble 10 not known. The authorities are in- vestigating.

= ARRAIGNED Audience Cheers Solicitor
 Parks. TRIAL OF BYRON TRAMMELL No Verdict Was Reached Last
 Night by Jury. Arguments of Counsel and Charge of Judge Pierce Occupied Last Day of south-East Alabama Murder
TRIAL OF BYRON TRAMMELL

Dothan, May )-At a late hour tonight the jury which heard the evidence in the case of the State V. Bly, ron Trammell. indicted for murder in the first degree, because of the killing of Robert J. Barnes, alleged seducer of his wife, had retired for the night and Judge Henry Pierce. presiding over the Circuit Court of Houston county and the interested lawyers. had gone to bed
 A remarkable scene was witnessed In the court room during the closing ar xument of Solicitor R. H. Parks. when the audience that packed the court house, broke into cheers and Judgo Pierce threatened to have the court room cleared, The demonstration by the spectators was caused by most severe arraigr ment on the part of Sol- icitor Parks of the testimony of pr. W. H. Hudson of Montgomery. In tho most scathing terms Solicitor Parks criticised the Montgomery physician. He said that he knew every one of the real doctors of Mont gomery. but he had never heard before nor had he seen this great brain specialist" until he appeared on the witness stand to tes- tify that Byron Trammei was insane. Was Great Legal Hattie.
 It is doubtful if Southeast Alabama ever witnessed such legal battle as was waged in the Dothan court house today. The testimony In the Trammell case. having closed with the adjourn ment of court Thursday, today was given over to the argument of counsel, five eloquent speeches being made.
 R. D. Crawford of Dothan spoke first for the State reviewing tho testimony and defining the law. He was followed by B. F. Reid. T. M. Espy, and B. G. Farmer for, TrammelE The speeches of these three of South east Alabama's most prominent law yers, were magnificent arguments and review of evidence.
 At the conclusion of their argu- ments court adjourned for dinner. At i o'clock when court reconvened, Soli- citor Parks began his address to the jury. He told the jury that he de- lplored the necessity for the occasion, which made 1t his duty to prosecute Byron .Trammeli, for having committed willful murder.
 The defendant, he said had been his friend, but he put duty to the law. to the State and to his people. on higher plane than friendship. He im- pressed upon the jury that his duty and their duty was co-eaual. The So- Iicitor was fierce in his arraignment of TrammelI and his plea of insanity. Solicitor Parks concludd ms argument at 1:45 o'clock and Judge Pierce imme- diateIy began charging the Jury. lie finished his charge at S:l5 O'CLOCK anu the jurors retired.
