Boston, Mass, Jan. 1S.-Mf1fions of spindles in the cotton mills of the United States will be idle one-quarter of the time from today until market conditions improve if a recommenda- ton made this afternoon by the Ark wright club at meeting in this city Is accepted generally. The Arkwright club is an organization of the treas urers of mills in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine, many of which have their head offices in Boston, and represents more than 10,000.000 spin dies. Of the 2S,000,00 spindles in the United States, 15,60o,000 are in New England.
 The attendance at the meeting was the largest in ten years. Several tele- grams from mill owners in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina were read, telling of the arrangements being made to curtail the output. In South Carolina, it was stated, the mills will reduce the running time by five weeks.
 The cotton mills of the country cur- tailed extensively last year because of ferent demand for goods. The same reasons are given by the Boston treas urers for their vote today.
 The cotton mills of New England employ nearly 100000 operatives when all of the machinery is in motion, Knight, senior member of the firm of 1. B. B. & R.

PRISONER MRS. scHENK
 COLLAPSED IN COURT ROOM
Trial Temporarily Suspended-Womer Spectators Barred Hereafter.

Wheeling, W. Va, Jan. 1S.--Mrs Laura Farnsworth Schenk collapsed today under the ordeal of the trial in which she is charged with administer ing poison to her wealthy husband John O. Schenk.
 An hour before the usual time of adjournment she had to be led to her room in the jail, unable to withstand the strain. Court took recess and the trial was temporarily suspended.
 Nothing of g. startling nature had been brought out today, the evidence sicians as the witnesses But Mrs Schenk had not been looking we'll all day and suddenly leaned over to Frank O'Brien, one of her attorneys, and asked for a glass of water. She gulped 1t down and few minutes later said to another attorney: For Gods sake, get few minutes recess"
 The request was granted and Mrs. Schenk was taken to the Jail. There she became violently sick and showed symptomssof fainting. A physician at tended her and in fifteen minutes she returned to the court room, but was weak and nervous during the rest of the session.
 J. J. O'Brien, chief counsel for Mrs. Schenk. said tonight:
 'The attack was nothing serious. The court room was simply stuffy, the woman was annoyed by the constant stare day after day of hundreds of curious and she became upset through the strain. She is not worried at the outcome of the trial and will be all right tomorrow"
 Hundreds of curious women were sorely disappointed today when Judge L. s. Jordan announced that he deem ed it best for the moral interests of the community that women should be ex- cluded from the trial hereafter. The orders were carried out this afternoon and Mrs. Schenk was the only woman in the court room.
 Attorney O'Brien announced just be- fore adjournment today that every in the Wheeling district will be summoned by the defense. Dr. J. w. Myers said on the stand Tuesday that he had sold lead 4poison to Mrs. Schenk and that she had told him that she had secured two ounces of Fowler 8 solution of arsenic from another source. It is the purpose of the de- fense in summoning more than 100 doctors to show that none of them sold poison to Mrs. Schenk.

Receives In Joint Convention Six More Votes
 Than Number Necessary for Choice
TWO DESERrIONS FROM DEMOCRATS
Martin Curley and Michael Murphy of Boston, Voted for MT. Lodge-Some Democrats Joined in Dem- onstration When Result Was Announced-lMcst Important Senatorial Battle Since 1851

landslide that swept into the govern ors chair Eugene N. Foss, who was MT. Lodges bitterest opponent, and ii was not at all certain that the narrow republican margin in both the senate and house was not undermined by in- surgency.
 In the separate ballot yesterday, MT Lodge won in the senate, but ten re- publicans left the party ranks in the house~ and his IF votes were three short of the number necessary for a choice The total for the two branches however, just made the required num- Der of the joint convention.
 Democrats Joined in Repubiiean Dem
 onstration.
 That body convened at noon today and less than half a dozen names had been called when there came shift and one republican insurgent dashed back into the fold. A few minutes later another resumed his allegiance then two democratic senators desert ed their party and voted for MT. Lodge. Scarcely had they declared themselves when one of MT. Ames most ardent supporters voted for the senator. All this time the Lodge vote was held firm.
 members who apparently had been absent, appeared. One of the two who voted for Speaker Joseph Walkter, yesterday, turned to MT. Lodge today, and as the other member voted for MT. WhippIe, the count ended with 146 votes for MT. Lodge.
 The republican members burst into cheers as President Treadway of the senate announced the result, and some of the democrats joined in the demon stration.
 Most important Senatorial Battle.
 Governor F'oss refused to comment on the result, while Congressman Ames said that "he was convinced that the desires of a large majority of the people of Massachusetts have been Submerged by the influence of flnan- cial interests" MT. Ames also de- clared his intention of continuing the fight.
 Political historians say that the contest which ended today was the most important senatorial battle in this state since the election of Charles Summer SIS e free soiler in 1851.

DEADLOCK AT ALBANY,
 STEPHAN LOSING GROUND
Strenuous Efforts to Increase His Fol
 lowing Are of No Avail.

Albany N. T., Jan. 1S.-The United States senatorship puzzle is as intri- cate tonight as ever. The legislature today tried to choose the democrat who will take the place of Senator Chauncey M. Depew, but no candidate received the majority required for election. Efforts to increase the fol- lowing of William F. Sheehan, the leading candidate, or to unite the op- position on any other candidate thus far have proved fruitless. How long the deadlock will last no one ventures to say.
 Sheehan, with 90 votes to his cred it on the first joint ballot, only nine votes short of election, may be no nearer Washington than Martin w Littleton or D. Cady Herrick, who re- ceived but two. In fact there is a growing impression that if Sheehan cannot win, the successful candidate is as likely as not to be some one whose name has not yet been pro- posed.
