BEGINS PROBE Of
STEPHENSON CASE
SENATORIAL COMMITTEE OPENS
INVESTIGATION OF WISDOM
SIN SOLON'S ELECTION.
DEFENDANT FIRST WITNESS
Scope of the Investigation May Be
Broadened to include Primary EIec-
ton Campaign-Two Numbers Of
Committee Are Absent.

M1lwaukee.-The senatorial COM
mlttee, consisting of Senators w. B.
Hepburn of Idaho, George Suther-
land of Utah and Atlee Pomerene of
Ohio, appointed to investigate the
election of Isaac Stephenson, has be-
gun it's work here. There are two
other members of the committee,
Senators w. o. Bradley and T. H.
Paynter of Kentucky, but neither
were at the opening sessions. Sena-
tor Paynter will be here later, but
Senator Bradley will not be able to
meet with the committee on account
of illness.
Senator Stephenson was the first
witness called before the committee.
He admitted the expenditure of
$lO7,783 in the primary campaign
preceding his nomination for United
States senator, but denied that he
paid any one or authorized the pay
ment to any member of the legisla-
ture to remain away from the SEES
sion when he was finally elected SEN
htor.
1t was said that the scope of the
Investigation would probably not be
developed until questions had been
raised regarding testimony, when the
members would retire and discuss the
advisability of going into the line
proposed. If this is carried out, it
will not be known whether or not
the committee will corfine the in
yestigation strictly to the election of
Senator Stephenson or broaden it to
take up primary campaign matters
until the subject is brought before
the members for their decision
Whether or not the attorneys for
Senator Stephenson will challenge
the right of the committee to inves-
t1gate the senator's election on the
ground that he was elected when the
two houses of the legislature of 1909
voted separately, can not be learned.
1t is probable however, whether this
is done or not, that the fact that he
received the votes of a majority of
the members of the assembly and
senate who voted for candidates "by
name" will be called to the attention
of the committee in formal man
ner as basis for any future action
which it may be desired to take.

 These skulls had been ororgnt Tn 70 snow the structure or the Jaw, for it was matter Of the jaw ana mo lars that was to be settled
 The case was that of Samuel Bar rett gainst Dr. 5onn A. LsnIz ,or damages resulting from the pulling vt a tooln of tne a;ainun by An as sistani of the deFendant.

On the other size 1t was con tended that when the tooth was pull cd there was already a septic con diuon: that Q pus sac was disclosed. and that the only evil effect that could have resulted rom the extfac- ton of the tooth was the bringing or matters to head

SAYS ANANIAS DIED
 OF HEART FAILURE

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j.. May 2s.- That is is a physical impossibility for Christ to have stood upon the pinnacle of the temple at Jerusalem and been tempted by satan" as it is related in the New Testament was ore of the statements attributed to the Reverend William D. Grant at the heresy trial before the perma- nent judicial committee of the Pres byterian church last week.
 In commenting cn the death or UEziah. who. as told in the oid Testament, was struck dead for dar- fBg to put his hand on the ark of tbe Covenant, Doctor Grant is al- leged to have said:
 ~This Uzziah must have had an sneHrism of the heart or burst a blood vessel fin hts head. All Uzz ah gas trVinS to do was t0 prevent the sacred ark from slipping from the wagon or Eledge cn which il was heinz carried Evidently the weight of the ark was too much of strain and the mau dropped dead.
 Doctor Grant was also accused with telling a memter of his church that he intended to east the devll ut of the Bible. by Dreacning a certain sermon.
 Some O. the statements in ser mons and writings credited to Doc Cor Grant are:
 Moses had the blues when he wrcte some of his poems.
 There fs no personal devil"
 Eve found sin in her own heart and wes n5t tempted by Satan
 Christ was cruciied in a perfectly natural manner ny 2 mob Of fanatic Jews and did not plan his own cru c4ixicn.
