AGAINST MIR. SHOOT
SENATE COMMITTEE WILL VOTE TO
 UNSEAT.
Split Comes, However, on Method Whether to "ExpeID or to SEX cIude" the Mormon--De-
 cisiOn Not Reached.

Washington, May 1.--Differences of opinion based upon constitutional qucs- tions caused the adjournment until Friday next of the meeting of the Sem ate Committee on Privileges and Elec- tions which considered the Senator Shoot case today.
 No decision was reached upon any point but the lines on which the case will be argued in the committee and later in the Senate were clearly defined. The question of importance Is whether the proper proceedings are to move to expel the Utah Senator, which would require a two-thirds vote, or to exclude him from membership in the Senate which would require only majority vote. Senator Bailey declared that after Senator had been seated there can be no motion to exclude and that 1t re- quires two thirds of the Senate to un- seat Chairman Burrows and senator Dubois took the position that, as the charges against Mir. Shoot are not for misconduct as a Senator, but are that he belongs to a religious hierarchy whose teachings and practices are in' conflict with the laws of the land and that his relation with this hierarchy began before and continued after his election to the Senate, 1t Is proper to vote to exclude.
 Senator Smooth had several defend- CTS in the Committee. Among these were Senators Dillingham;. Foraker. Bcveridge and Hopkins. who took issue with the argument that Congress could determine to what degree religion should be mixed with politics.
 There was no expression indicating what the division in the committee will be on the broad question of whether a case has been made against Senator {ot fYyGfifIy a fn unseat him. From the indications. how ever, it appeared that a majority of the committee would vote in tbe affirm ative, but that there Is not a majority in favor of excluding instead of ex- polling.
 In speaking for excluding MT. Shoot by a majority vote, Senator Dubois call ed attention to notice given by the la:e Senator Hoar three years ago when Mir. Shoot was sworn in, for Mir. Burrows, who was compelled to be absent MT Hoar said that it was his understand ing that the orderly and constitutional method of procedure in administering the oath to newly elected Senators was to cspt their credentials, allow them to be sworn in and that all questions relating to his tNfr. Smoot's) qualifca- tlcn should be postponed and acted up- on by the Senate afterwards"
 Opponents of MT. Smoot took tte stand that this statement on behalf or the chairman of the Committee on Privileges and Elections reserved to the Senate the right to exclude" MT, Shoot from membership if charges against him were sustained and that he could not get the benefit of the rule requiring that a Senator sworn in shall only be unseated by expulsion. requir- ing a two-thirds vote of the Senate

 The Law Magazine has tabulated the report of English prisons. from which it appears that of 14S,962 con victs, 3,324 could read and write well. only seventy-two were returned as possessing a superior education, 30.S71 were unable to read or write and 115.- 037 could read and write imperfectly. From this exhibit the Law Magazine concludes that education tends to and actually does diminish crime.
 Wordsworth brought a tremendous indictment against some by declaring that they force their children to drudge through a weary life without the help of intellectual implements--a. savage herd among the lordly free An old Teutonic schoolmaster was in the habit of uncovering his head in the presence of his students. He knew not but that he confronted one whose future would eclipse his own. And well he might, for he was training Martin Luther then in rags. and singing on the streets in the twilight for his bread
 The greatest statesman this conti- nent ever produced said; If I work in marble. in time 1t will crumble; if I work with brass, after while it will corrode; but If work with the mind, I work with that which will grow brighter through all eternity" This was but an anticipation of the great English philosophers statement: "On earth there is nothing great but man in man there is nothing great but mind"
 The original necessity for schools grounded itself on the inner longings for knowledge. Professor Laurie apol- ogizes for the establishment Of col leges because of the concurrence of able men who had something they wished to tell, and of youth who desire to learn. Those revolutions of thought that turned nations toward a grander destiny were generated in scholastic halls. The University of Prague and Wittenberg, of Basic and Lauranne, of Oxford and Cambridge. of Strausburg and St. Andrews, were all the birth places of mighty reformations. And

II. G. Snead, one of the Oldest inhabi-
tants of Alabama, died at his home
about five miles south of Centreville, last
night. He was one of the most remark
able characters this section of the coun-
try has ever known. He was colonel
in the Confederate army and did valiant
service for the cause he loved so well.
Even in his extreme old age he stood per-
fecty erect and often times at meetings
of the old soldiers he would buckle on his
sword and march with the Yigor of young
manhood. He was ever law abiding cit
izen and during his long life never had
a suit of any kind in court. He was
loved and respected by all who knew
him. He reared large family who are
among the very best citizens of Bibb
county at the present time. He will be
buried tomorrow morning at Mt Zion
cemetery a few miles from his home.
He was SO years old at the time of his
death.

$15O.ooo Fire In Boston.

Boston. December 19.-Fire today
caused heavy damage to the block
bounded by fremont, Bromfield, Wash
ington and Winter streets and although
the flames were confined practically
to one structure, the Studio building,
in fremont street, the fire for time
threatened TO cause greater destruc-
ton. The fire broke out on the lower
floor of the Eldridge & Peabody fur
niture establishment and it quickly
swept up through six floors of the
firms section of the Studio building.
The roof fell and the fire jumped
across narrow alley to the roof of the
Orpheum theatre, formerly Boston y
famous Music hail. and the top of the
building occupied by the Talbot Co.,
clothiers, in Washington street The
flames did inconsiderable damage 10
both structures, but the Talbot build
ing was flooded by bursting hose. The
firemen had to fight in narrow alley
on ice-coated ladders and fire escapes
and their own bodies encased in ice.
A rough estimate of the property loss
places the total at about $150,000. of
which Eldridge & Peabody bears about
$4,000 and the Talbot company $70,-
900. A number of artists, architects,
dentists and others in the Studio build
ing were burned out.
