Regulars Decline to Vote.

Despite the drastic rules invoked,
many of the regular republicans still in
sisted upon their right to decline to vote,
and when serious consequences threaten
ed they resorted to motions to be excus-
ed, which in several cases were carried
by safe majorities The democrats
sought to relieve their new-found allies
with a blanket motion of excuse from
voting. but this plan failed.
Whatever the agreement, whatever the
understanding, the results accomplished
were both definite and decisive. The
democrats found themselves in position
where for the sake of party consistency
they had TO disregard completely their
previous arrangement with the insur-
gents. This arrangement was based
upon the belief that the democratic
House bill first would be defeated and
that then the democrats and insurgents
would combine to pass a La Toilette COM
promise measure, just as was done with
the wool schedule. =
Amazement of insurgents at the unex
pected development changed to fighting
spirit that lasted until the last roll call
was taken. They insisted that the Vice
President send cat of the chamber for
republicans who had left the room. but
MIR. Sherman declined to interpret the
rules giving him that authority.
The regular republicans made no at
tempt to conceal their delight at having
put the insurgents In a position where
they were compelled to vote against cot
ton revision at this time. Senator Cum
Minis rallied his insurgent colleagues TO
vote against his own amendment for an
iron and steel tariff revision, when that
amendment was offered by Senator Ba-
con. Senator Bristow helped to defeat his
own amendment for revision of the
sugar schedule, when ii was offered in
his absence by Senator Jones of Wash
ington.
Senator La Toilette finally offered his
bill a substitute for the House bill and
the amendments that had been added to
ii. He appealed TO the democrats to vote
for his substitute declaring that the in
surgents We're yielding a great deal, but
could not support the original House bill.
The la Toilette substitute secured no
votes. however. but those OF the insur-
gents. The democrats voted against it,
as did a handful of regular republicans.

themselves from the chamber or refusing

The dissolution of the alliance between
democrats and republican insurgents. the
overthrow Of Senator La Toilette as the
leader and dictator to the Senate in re-
gard to tariff legislation. and finally, the
passage of a democratic tariff measure
by a republican Senate, were among the
sensational developments in the Senate
yesterday afternoon during the consid-
Grafton of the cotton bill.
The victory OF the democrats and the
rout of the republan insurgents were
brought about by simple tactical move
on the part of the regular republicans.
They merely abstained from voting on
the cotton bill and on the various amend

to see the way the wind was blowing

Cummins of Iowa. and Immediately Of

They did not quit the field, as had the
regular republicans. but remained in
their places and fought the democratic
measure to the last ditch.

Bristow Denounces Democrats.

The republican regulars took the posi-
ton that, being in the minority in the
Senate they preferred TO leave the franz
ing of the cotton bill or any other tariff
legislation at this session to the demo-
Gratis and republican insurgents. The
President, they said, would veto any
tariff measure sent to him at present,
and they preferred to have the veto di-
rected against a bill framed by the dem
ocrats than against a bill which orig
mated with the republicans, even though
they be insurgents.
Not the least among the dramatic incl
dents of the afternoon was the denuncia-
tion of the democrats by Senator Bris-
tow of Kansas, one of the leading re-
charged that they not only had not Kept
faith with the republican insurgents,
but had also Joined hands with the reg
ular republicans. In emphatic language
Senator Bristow declared that there were
democrats who wished to defeat the cot
ton bill, or any bill reducing the tariff
on cotton goods. For this reason they
had loaded down the measure with
changing other schedules.
He gave as his reason for believing
that the democrats were acting IN har-
mony with the regular republicans the
fact that few moments before Senator
Johnston of Alabama, in a conference
with Senator Penrose chairman of the
finance committee. had told the repub-.
lican leader the regulars should abstain
from voting and allow the democrats to
pass amendments to the bill and finally
the House cotton bill itself
Senator Works OF California, backed
Mr. Bristow up in this statement, de-
claring that he had heard Senator Pen
rose telling regular republicans not to
vote. after the conference with Senator
Johnston.
In vain the insurgents invoked all-but-
forgotten rules of the Senate to compel
the regulars to attend and to cast their
votes Senatorial courtesy. so long re-
vered and jealously defended. was tossed

FANS LOSE WAY
IN NIGHT RIDE

Starting after dark for their
homes in Greeley from Cheyenne,
and driving their automobile all
night, only to find thmeslves at day
light in Laramie City, was the
strange experience of George Pow
ers, Tim Brown and Tom Madden OF
Greeley and r. Mimmack of Eaton,
who vent to Cheyenne Sunday to see
the Greeley Spuds play the Chey-
enne Indians.
Mimmack drove the car and the
quartet left Cheyenne in time to
reach Greeley before midnight. They
had driven over the road once be-
fore and were quite sure they were
steering directly homeward AS
they clipped off the miles and no
town Showed up they realized they
were on the wrong road and lost.
They failed to discover any houses
where hey might learn the way, and
after rambling around over the
plains in search of some familiar
object they decided to keep the road
and drive onward. When the sun
rose they found themselves in Lara
mie. Then they started for home.

SCHOOLS
ARE ALL
OPENED
INCREASE IN ATTENDANCE IS
NOTED IN THIS CITY
MANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE
Drinking Cups are Abolished and
Better Provision in General for
the Health of the
Pupils

The Greeley high school, the
grades of the public school, the
manual training school at the Nor
NAL and the majority of the country
schools OF county opened Tuesday
morning.
Owing to the fact that there are
few new teachers in the high school
and the public schools, school began
in earnest on Tuesday and by noon
was running as smoothly as though
there had been only few days in
Permission, instead of the long sum-
mer vacation.
All OF the teachers have reported
for duty, with the exception of Miss
Carena Lee, of the high school, and
Miss Van Pelt, the superintendent
of penmanship. Miss Lee, who has
been touring Europe, was held in
London. on account OF the labor
troubles and will be unable to reach
Greeley until next Friday.
Teahcers and pupils seem rested
by the summers vacation and eager
and willing to begin the years work.
The attendance at the high school,
as we'll as the grades, promises to
be greater than last year. Miss
Gussie f. Brown of the Gipson
| SCHOOL, reports al luNicdSS III thS
attendance over last year.
There has been no division of the
grades with the exception of the
third in the south ward. Miss Met
eel will teach the afternoon session
and Mrs. Jesse Page the forenoon.
The East Side annex will not be-
gin for a few weeks, as such num-
ber of the pupils are now employed
in the beet fields. Miss Gardner,
the teacher, will assist with the
physical examinations until the
school begins.
The buildings throughout are said
to be in better order than ever be-
fore. Aside from the thorough re-
novating and cleaning there have
been repairs and improvements
Two school rooms and two entrance
rooms in the Meeker building have
been given new floors. The East
ard school has been connected
with the sewer and the toilet rooms
placed in the basement. In the
high school building, in the room
/ which was formerly the old library,
the floor has been covered with
heavy moor mating and new desks

The drinking cup has been abol-
/ ished and three kinds of bubbling
/ fountains are in operation. 1t has
not been determined which will be

busters have also been replaced

circumstances of the death.
Dollersaul and Rowland were rid

were accosted by an acquaintance in
the road and pulled up the horse
while going down a slight grade.
The rig kept going and bumped into
the horse, which began to kick

DollersNul, it is believed, was
kicked only once in the abdomen,
the blow being fatal almost instant-
ly. Rowland was sitting next to
him and was kicked twice, the iron
shoes of the animal cutting gashes
where they struck. The front of
the vehicle was demolished before
the animal was quieted and it was
found that DolIersaul was dead.
The body was taken to the home
