SENATOR BAILEY
TAKES HIS SEAT
Receives Warm Welcome From
His Colleagues Of Both
Factions.
MAY MAKE A STATEMENT
Those Who Were Bitter Against
Him Greeted Him With
Greatest Consideration.
BY WAITER EDWARD HARRIS.

BY WALTER EDWARD HARRIS.
WASHINGTON. d. G., March 3.--Af-
ter all absence of three months from
Washington. and for the first time
during the second session Of the fifty
ninth Congress, Senator Joseph w.
Bailey took his seat in the Senate
to-day.
1.-THE reception accorded him by his
Democratic colleagues while not en-
thusiastic, was none tho less cordial.
Showing only few slight physical
signs of the ordeal through which he
has lately passd, Senator Bailey APP
peared on tho floor of the Senate this
morning merging from the Democratic
cloakruom and proceeding to his desk,
which is next to that occupied by
Senator Tillman.
Senator Carmack, who sits Immediately
behind Senator Bailey was the first to
offer congratulations, and the following
Senators, in the order named, gave the
junior Senator from Texas the warm hand
of welcome: Clay. Teller, McCreary, New
lands, Blackburn. McLaurin, Overman and
Latimer. A few minutes later Senator
Bailey returned to the coakroom accom-.
panied by Senators Carmack and McLau-
rim. and with these he was congratulated
by Senators Frazier and Whyte. Later
in the day Senator Bailey appeared in
! the marble-room where he was cordially
| welcomed by Senators Hale, Kean, Car
| ter and several others from the Repub
| lican side of the chamber.
| A noticeable feature Of Senator Bailey s
i reception was the elrusiveness OF several
| Democrats who had previously expressed
\ diminuton Of admiration for the Texas
Senator because OF the nature and the
! violence OF the attack made upon him.
Judging from the greeting accorded
him to-day Senator Bailey could bt
elected chairman OF the Democratic
caucus. The occasion Of Senator Bailey,
prolonged absence from the Senate Il
history. the details Of which newspape
readers are familiar. Suffice 1t to ga,
that he was charged by certain polltica
enemies with too great intimacy witt
certain interests allied with the Standar,
Oil.
Senator Bailey was investigated b.
' committees representing the Senate an
the House of the Texas Legislature, an
last week these committees exonorate
him of any wrong-doing. Senator Bale
left Austin at once for Washington, al
riying here this morning. He had bee
: advised by several of his friends to max
! an exhaustive statement of his case tic
morrow, but indications tonight are h
will not address the Senate until mex
session.

The "Darn" Bill.

I WASHINGTON, D. G.. March a.
Senator Frye, Of Maine, startled the
Senate yesterday. Ho was on his feot
making a report from his Committee
On Commerce on several minor bills,
a duty he performs frequently, and
which as rule attracts little interest
or attention. Suddenly raising his
voice, Mr.. Frye exclaimed: III can
get immediate consideration for that
dam bill I will promise the Senate
not to report another dam bin this
session"
Amid a general laugh the bill was
passed and a dam will be built across
certain shoals on the Savannah River

.VANDYCKS VANISH
FROM ITALIAN. PALACE
Seven Pictures by Famous Old
Master Taken Despite Gov
errllnent's Vigilance.
DESTINATION UNKNOWN

ROME. April G..
1taly's recent art losses was the theme
of discussion in the Chamber Of Deputies
yesterday. when the Minister Of Fine
Arts rccounted the history Of seven van
ished Vandycks.
The government, he said, had fore
warned the Project Of Genoa la st Novem-
Der that private negotiations We're going
on for their sale, and twice after being
treasured by that official the government
wrote urging him to keep a vigilant eye.
4 The Vandycks are not scheduled in the
national art catalogue compiled in 1908,
because the pictures were hidden away
inside the Cattaneo Palace, and because
they were not catalogued the government
could not jurldically, even after suspicious
were aroused, enter into the private DWELL
ing of the Cattaneo family for the purpose
of ascertaining whether the pictures were
still really there. The law, however, has
been grievously infringed inasmuch as
neither an export permit was applied for
nor the 20 per cent. tax paid. which latter
in the case of the Vandycks would
amount to 500. 900.
( The Minister confessed that whereas the
government Is certain as regards the fact
OF foreign expectation, and had initiated
civil and penal proceedings, it is at present
ignorant as to the precise destination OF
the struggled treasures.

has been condemned to death for poison
Ing a man named Janitschek, and a wom-S
an named Brueckner. who had lived with
her as dodgers In the years 1903 and
1906. She was also charged with poison
ing in four other cases, two OF her
alleged victims being her mother -in-law
and sister-in-law, but as these four cases
went back seven years there was some
uncertainty as to whether the exhumed /.
bodies showed traces Of poison.
Frau Teige has been called tho Sile-
Sian Lucrezia Borgia, and the trial res
vealed that she had many points In CONF
mon with the famous Roman poisoner.
In all the cases 1t was the desire to
become possessed OF her victims money
which drove her to her terrible crimes.
AS dodgers she always sought out in-a
durable people possessed Of means. While
they We're In her hands she sought to ir-s
fiuence them to make their wills in her
favor. As soon us they did so she began
her poisoning operations.
FeiEe used arsenic in all cases, In this
displaying great cunning. The entire;
countryside in which she lived Is arsenic
producing, and the graveyard in which
her victims were buried was in special
degree impregnated with nrsenicnl ores
