Lewis, the missing waiter in whose trunk
the body of a man immured was found

that the searchers after facts have also

FOss Proposes Selection OF
Senator by Popular Vote.

Boston. Nov. 23-Since Gov.-elect Foss
issued his demand" that Senator Lodge
withdraw as a candidate for reelection.
a slight rift has appeared IN the gloom
spread over the latter's headquarters.
Several Democratic newspapers jumped
on Mr. Foss for going after Mr.. Lodge
so strongly, and there is no question
about the latter's position being slightly
strengthened among the members-elect
of the legislature The little Republican
leaders have seized the opportunity 10
secure some publicity by writing letters
TO Mr. Foss (they appear IN print usually
before the addressee gets them asking
him all sorts Of questions and eudgeling
him severely. Mr.. Foss is answering
them as they come provided they are
worth paying attention 10,
Another newspaper canvass Of the Re-
publican legislators-elect has been made
since Mr. Foss issued his Withdrawal
demand TO Senator Lodge. The returns
show that G. favor the reelection OF
Lodge. Il are opposed TO him. Ga are n0n-
committal. and the remainder are scat

number who are for him.
Mr.. FOss tonight ISSUED a statement in
which ne proposes that the election Of a
Senator be postponed until the next legis-
lature has had an opportunity 70 enact a
law providing for a selection by popular
vote. Mr.. Foss says: u shall recommend
10 the legislature that the matter of the
Senatorial selection be referred 10 the
people for their decision at the polls next
fall unless the legislature shall decide the
question before that time"

they feel compelled TO do right.
What is it that's causing it?
There is a BUSINESS CON
