His attitude Of ~displeasure suddenly
changed to meekness. He said he
wanted money, of which he was In

Miss Gould could not be seen at that
time.
He became furious and poured abuse
on the butler. When that servant tried

RAYNER FOR DIRECT VOTE.
Maryland Senator Fears Resolution
NAV Be Defeated,

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The resolution
for the election Of senators by popular
vote was taken up In the senate with
the expectation that a vote would be
had before adjournment. The Suther.
land amendment, which seeks TO give
the federal government control over
senatorial elections, was the question
which provoked most of the discussion
Senator Rayner of Maryland argued
that there is no need for incorporating
the Sutherland amendment in the reso-
tuition before the senate. He declared
that the federal government is now
vested with authority in the constitu.
ton to do everything that it ought to
do and wants to do with respect to
suffrage. The Maryland senator ap-
pealed to senators in favor Of the pop
ular elections not to incorporate in the
resolution anything that would imperil
its adoption by the senate. Senator
Nelson of Minnesota wanted to know
how the resolution could be imperiIed.
You will imperil 1t very much" re-
