LEGISLATORS BALLOT, BUT
STEPHENSON CLAIMS T0GA
Supporters of Senator Say He Was
Reelected on Separate Vote
January 26

MADISON, Wis. Feb. 26.-WhiIe the
Wisconsin legislature continues to bal
lot for United States senator in joint
assembly, the supporters of Senator
Isaac Stephenson contend that Stephen
son was elected United States senator
on separate ballot January 26, when he
received a majority of votes cast in
each branch of the legislature.
Taking the stand that Stephenson was
elected on separate ballot, his support
ers secured a certificate of election
signed by Governor Davidson and
cOuntersigned by Secretary of State
James A. Frear, and last night United
States District Attorney W. G. Wheeler
left for Washington with this certifi-
cate.
The separate ballot gave Stephenson
60 votes in the assembly, a clear ma
jority. and twelve of the seventeen
votes cast in the senate, sixteen SEN
ators being present and voting, "pres-
ent." Lieutenant Governor John
Strange, VINO presides over the joint
assembly when a ballot for United
States senator is being taken has fiat
ly refused from time to time to enter
tain a motion that Stephenson was
elected on separate ballot, each time
ruling the motion out of order and or
dering the clerk to call the roll
Since the balloting in joint session
began Senator Stephenson has failed
to secure a majority.

ASSAILANT OF MANY
WOMEN is CAPTURED
Man Arrested Believed to Be One
Who Has Wounded Over
Score of Germans with
Stietto

BERLIN, Feb. 26.-The man who dur
ing the last fortnight has been per-
petrating series of attacks on women
on the streets of Berlin was captured
today. He made an attempt to stab a
woman on the Friedrich strasse, one
of the crowded shopping streets Of the
city.
The clothing of his intended victim
was cut, but she herself suffered no
harm
The woman screamed and her assaiI-
ant fed into a house on an adjoining
street, where he was seized by a police
man. He is a young man, but he has
not yet been identified
The attempt today was the thirty
sixth ripper" case since the beginning
of the outrages. The descriptions of the
assailant do not agree, and it is be-
lieved that various men have been en-
gagged in the work.
There has been a state of terror
among the women of Berlin, many SER
wants refusing to go on the street alone
after nightfall.
The police have had special detectives
dressed as women sauntering through
the streets inviting attack. The as
saults have been made by day as well
as night, and on the open street as
well as in halls and stairways of
houses.
The assailant would approach his vic
tim quietly, st~ike at her swiftly with
a sharp stilettO and then make his es-
cape during the ensuing confusion
AS a result of inquiries concerning
the man arrested the police doubt his
identity with the perpetrators of the
many assaults.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-After
dragging along for a week the sundry
civil appropriation BILL carrying $137,-

night with many material amend
mentS.
The debate at times was very warm.
A rule brought in by Mr.. Dalzell, MAX
ing it in order for a majority to pass
a bill under suspension of the rules,
instead of two-thirds, aroused the
Democrats under the leadership of
Mr.. Williams to criticise the appro-
priations committee for not affording.
as was charged, more time to study
supply bills. This led to an incipient
filibuster.,
A resolution was adopted appointing
a committee of five to report whether
or not the remarks Of Mr. Cook of
Colorado, delivered yesterday, attack
ing the president, should be expunged
from the record.
The ship subsidy bill was reached.
the conference report on the penal code
and the diplomatic and consular an
preparation bills were presented, the
conference reports on the District of
Columbia and the Indian appropria-
tion bills were agreed to and the naval
appropriation bill again was returned

Lacks Two
TBv Associated Press.1

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26.-When
the trial of Patrick Calhoun adjourned
until next Monday late today a record
had been established in the number of
talesmen examined as to their quail
fications to serve as jurors.
Twenty seven citizens were interro-
gated and discharged during the day,
were possessed of opinions tending to
convince them of the guilt or inno-
cence of the defendant
In several instances the opposing at
torneys engaged in spirited exchanges
that terminated only when the court
intervened, but in general there was
apparent a disposition to expedite the
process through which it is hoped to
fill the two vacant places in the jury
box.
William McWhirter a talesman who
practically admitted a conviction that
the defendant was in some manner
connected with the bribery of former
supervisors and who expressed a belief
that the supervisors We're more to be
blamed than the defendant was chal-
lenged by the defense after a lengthy
examination, during which he said that
he would require the prosecution to
put up sufficient evidence to convince
him that the defendant was not guilty.
The challenge was allowed because
the talesman was unable TO testify that
he had not read a newspaper which
published a transcript of the super
visors' testimony before the Oliver
grand jury.
Another challenge was exercised in
the case of Manuel Mandel, a mer-
chant, who told the attorneys for the
prosecution that they would have to
prove the defendant "a little more
than guilty before he would convict -
Nat t. Messer, a real estate dealer,
was still in the jury box when court
adjourned. Mr.. Messer, who testified
that his father-in-law was attorney for
two defendants implicated in the brib-
cry cases. had notified the court he
believed his examination would be
fruitless because he knew many of the
parties involved in the case, but the
Interrogation had proceeded to some
length before this fact developed
Under the cross examination of Mr..
Heney, which was somewhat severe in
several passages, the talesman testf-
fled that he believed the Pacific States
Telephone company had been held up
and paid tribute to keep the Home
Telephone company out Of the field and
that the Home company had also been
held up.
