Washington. May 2S.-No vote was
had in the senate committee on privl-
leges and elections on the right of
Senator Smoot of Utah to retain his
seat in the senate, chiefly because it
developed that in the numerous
changes of the dates for the meeting
Senators Hopkins and Dolliver failed
10 receive their notices that action
was to be taken. Both of these SEN
ators. as well as Senators Depew,
Bailey and Frazier, were absent. The
last three named, however, had lelS
proXies. The committee adjourned
until Friday next Opposition to vot-
ing at the present session was voiced
by three or four senators, who SAID
that the railroad rate bill had taken
so much of their time that they mad
not had an opportunity to examine
quotations of attorneys of both sides.
On this account they complained that
thew were not in position to vote IN
teligently. Chairman Burrows ana
the Democratic senators present oD-
iected to permitting the case to go
over until next session, arguing that
the senators could read the authori-
ties next week. Notices of the meet

ordered mailed in order that there

WILL BUILD NEW ROAD
TO KANSAS WHEAT FIELD

souri, Pacific at Freeport, the Santa
Fe and Rock Island at Perth, and the
Santa Fe at Rome. The construction
of track will begin at Great Bend.
If this road is ever completed 1t
will be an important factor in the
commercial life of Southwestern Kan
sas. 1t will go directly through some
of the best of the wheat belt. and Will
give comparatively direct route
from the Kansas wheat fields to the
Gulf shipping ports. incidentally this
fact will not be likely to be advant-
ageous to Wichita. At present a large
proportion of the Kansas wheat that
reaches foreign markets by way or
the Gulf ports is handled by Wichita
grain men. The new road will not go
to Wichita, and if it is successful IN
getting the business from the Kansas
wheat fields a large amount of grain
shipping business is likely to be trans
ferred from Wichita to Kansas CITY.

POSTPONE SHOOTS CASE
FOR AN INDEFINITE TIME

may be no misunderstanding concern
ing II.
1t is known that Senator Depew
cannot be present, and if all the 9th
ers are in attendance the vote may re-
suit in tie. Senator Depew has sent
his proxy to the chairman, but the
committee has not consented to ac-
cent it. If it is voted the decision
will be against Smoot. If it is ex-
Guided the result depends upon Sena-
tor Dolliver, who has not made his
position known.
After the committee had discussed
for some time the proposition to de-
fer action on the Smoot case the Hale
resolution instructing the committee
to inquire into the status of proceed
ings against Senator Burton was re-
ferred to. Senator Dubois objected
strenuously to having the Smoot case
sidetracked. saying:
IF the members of the committee
think the country is more Interested
in turning out poor Burton than in
acting upon charges against an
apostle of polygamy, they are greatly
mistaken
He predicted that the committee
would hear from the country before
next Friday as the result OF the de'
lay.

seemed as blithe and gay as a love

When climbed into the cable-car |

And then somebody blew out my
gas.
At the next corner two society flash
lights Topped in and sat next to me.
They had a lot of words they wanted
to use and they started in.
The car stopped and two more OF
the zoos leading ladies jumped the
hurdles and came down the aisle.
They sat on the other side of me.
In a minute they began to bite the
dictionary.
Their efforts aroused the energies
eof three women who sat opposite me,
and they proceeded to beat the Eng
lish language black and blue.
In a minute the air was so full OF
talk that the grip germs had to pull
out on the platform and chew the con-
sductor.
The next one to me on my left
started in:
"Oh, yes; we discharged our cook
day before yesterday, but there's an
other coming this evening, and

Her friend broke away and was up

That "loveliest eyes" speech had
me groggy.
Whenever I hear woman turn on
that "loveliest eyes" gag about an
actor | always feel that swift slap
from wet dish-rag would look well
on her back hair.
