.LOR|MER retains HIS
SEAT IN THE SENATE
10y Associated Rrsss.)

Washington, D. c., Mar. l.-William
Lorimer of Illinois retains his seat in
the United States senate. By vote OF
46 to 40 that body today defeated a
resolution introduced by Senator Bev-
eridge, declaring that the junior SEN
ator from Illinois had not been legally
elected. The end to the case that had
been before the senate for so many
months and which had provoked one
of the most bitter fights in that body
for years, a fight in which personal
equation served to heighten and inten-
sify the feeling, came shortly after 80
o'clock. Promptly at that hour the
vice president brought down his gavel
sharply on his desk and called for a
vote on the resolution. The agreement
entered into by the members yesterday
called for the shutting off of all debate
at that hour and the settlement of the
issue by vote. :;
Senator La Toilette had the floor at
the time, and the rap of the gavel
forced him to an abrupt termination of
his speech against Lorimer. Ayes and
noes were sounded and the crowded
floor and galleries followed. the roll
call with intense interest. Upon the
conclusion OF the roll call and an
nouncement of the result applause was
heard from the galleries, while on the
floor Senator Lorimer's friends hasten
ed to tender their congratulations.

SENATE PASSES THE q PER Gent
PRIMARY ELECTION BILL ...bEACH
TO GET AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

The senate yesterday afternoon did a
large amount of work in the passage of
bills. Among these was House Bill No.
260, which has to do with the primary
laws of the state and fixes the percent
age required that candidates of party
may have place on the general cleo
tion ballot. The old law, which was
declared unconstitutional by the Sill
preme court last fall, required that a
candidate must receive 80 per cent Of
the vote cast for the secretary of state.
The new law, which will become effec-
tive as soon as it is signed by the
governor, provides that a candidate
must receive 25 per cent of the average
number of votes received by the sue
cessful candidates for governor, secre-
tary of state and attorney general at
the last previous general election.
Senator Duis, democrat, was opposed
to the bill, and stated that it was an
other plan of the republicans to keep
''us poor democrats" out of the way at
election time, and he proposed an am.
endment calling for 20 per cent pro-
vision. which was lost, and the orig
inal bill was passed 38 to 5.
Senate Bill No. 1O2, by Martin of
Billings county, which is concurrent
resolution for the establishment of an
agricultural college at Beach, was in
the committee of the whole, after hav-
ing been recommended for indefinite
postponement by the senate committee
to which it had been referred. and
when the committee arose it recon-
mended that the bill do pass, and it
was later passed when it was taken up
in the regular course of business.
Another bill of interest that was
passed was House Bill No. 10, which
provides that three members shall COM
pose a quorum of the state board of
pardons instead of four as at the pres
ent time
A concurrent resolution was received
from the house and concurred in, the
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1911-03-02

subject matter of the resolution relat-
ing to the proposed raise in postal rates
on magazines carrying large advertis-
ing sections. The resolution condemns
the proposed change and believes mag
azlnes and their advertising sections
should have the same rates and privi-
leges as other class of mail.
Senate Bill No. 1852 was passed and
provides that the state board of audit
ors, consisting of the governor, the
secretary of state and the attorney gen.
eral. shall make two examinations an
nually of the state treasurer's office and
that the time of making the reports shall
not be known to the state treasurer or
any of the employees of the office be-
tore the examination is started.
The Duis anti-loyying bill was also
up for consideration and was passed.
The bill is not so drastic in its provi-
sions as was the one offered in the
house. which would require that all
lobbyists should be tagged with plac-
ard four by five inches in size The
Duis bill will prevent all lobbying in
the house or in the lobby between the
senate and house chambers. In arguing
for the bill, Senator Duis said that
some of the most open and disgraceful
lobbying that had ever been done in the
history of the state had occurred at the
present session.
S. R. was recalled from the house at
the request of Senator Plain, who
wanted to reconsider the vote by which
it was passed. Senator Simpson want
ed to know what was wrong with the
bill and what had changed the minds of
some of the senators from the day be-
fore, when they had voted to pass the
bill. The bill makes certain rulings
for the conduct of -four mills and Mr..
Plain made the statement that it
would be impossible for most of the
mills to operate under the provisions

BRAKEMAN Was KILLED
while COUPLING CARS
MOSS CHAMBERLAIN OF OAkES,
VICTIM OF HORRIBLE Accl.
DENT At WILTON.
Has Been Brakeman on 500 Line for
Four Years and Had an Excellent
Service Record.

A horrible accident occurred We'd
nesday morning at Wilton when Moss
Chamberlain of Cakes, a 500 brake
ran running out of Bismarck, fell in
front Of moving car and was so
badly cut to pieces that he lived only
few hours.
1t seems that young Chamberlain
was coupling cars while the freight
train on which he was running was
switching in the Wilton yards. He
was walking down the. track ahead of
car and had his hand on the lever
which pulls up the coupling pin so
that the coupling may be made.
There was considerable ice on and
between the tracks and it is thought
that he slipped and fell. He pitched
headl0ng before the moving car, and
the wheels of the front truck passed
completely over the left side of his
body cutting it to ribbons. The leg
was badly cut, and the side and shoul-
der were reduced to pulp. Brake,
man Tifton, who was on the same
train, was only few feet from Cham.
berlain when he fell and Immediately
signalled the engineer to stop.
The mangled body was placed in
the caboose and rushed to Bismarck
on special train, the crew making
the run in thirty-seven minutes. The
boy was taken to one of the local hos
pitfalls where he lived only for a few
hours. He was conscious until q
few moments before he breathed his
last, and suffered untold agony, al:
though his manned shoulder and side
were so numb that it is thought he
felt no pain from them.
The parents of the young man were
notified of the accident
and caught the Northern Pacific train
out of Oakes and fastened to the
city. They arrived on No. 5 Wednes-
day evening and will take the remains
of their son back to Oakes for burial
Moss Chamberlain has been EN-.
plOyed as freight brakeman by tho
500 line since April, 1907. He had
an excellent service record, and was
very popular among the trainmen. He
was clean cut young chap, and a !
ikable boy in every way, and his sud-
den and tragic death has cast a gloom |
over all his associates. The heart.
felt sympathy of the entire commun- |
ty is extended to the bereaved par
ents.

STRENUOUS SCENES ENACTED
IN THE HOUSE ON THURSDAY
J and near Fights featured

ANY statement to the effect that
I had been pushed from my chair is
a damnable lie," continued Hyland a
moment later when the excitement
had subsided temporarily.
This threw new excitement into the
situation and Speaker Hanley took a
hand in the proceedings when Hy-
land and Streeter became involved in
a personal conversation that was
rather heated. Finally, when both
men were seated, O'Connor of Grand
Forks felt that he would like to have
q word to say on the subject and
raised in his seat for that purpose,
but without avail as he was immedi-
ately told to "sit down" by the speak
er.
"It's about time this boys play was
cut out" said the speaker when he
had regained control of the situation
and had the house quieted again.
Mr.. Streeter was recognized by the
chair, the gentleman from Emmons
merely wishing to call the attention
of the chair to the fact that he had
not been the aggressor in the matter.
Another time during the afternoon,
when Mr.. Sorlie chanced to be in the
chair, the "clincher" motion was
moved on a railroad bill that had just
been passed. Mr.. Whitmer Of Mer-
Ger at this point arose and made
motion to the effect that it be the
sense of the house that the clincher
motion be done away with because it
was valueless, having reference to the
ruling of the speaker on the day
previous on the question Of the clinch-
er motion in the Cowan Impeachment
Englund seconded the motion, max
Ing the statement that he had at
tempted to make the same motion |
earlier in the day and that no atten- |

Evidence of strained relations be-
tween at least few of the members
of the house came to the surface on
several occasions yesterday, serving
to add considerably to the interest
attached to the deliberations Of the
lower body.
The first tilt came shortly after the
morning session had been convened
when Representative Hyland Of Ram
sey county raised objection to the
presence OF D. E. Crowley of Dickin-
son ON the floor of the house, whom
he contended was 1T the time engaged
I'll lobbying for a bill. The speaker
stated that any member had right
to raise such objection.
Immediately Mr.. Hylsnd had taken
his seat Mr.. Streeter Of Emmons coun.
(y was recognized, and he proceeded
to give his opinion Of the action taken
by the Ramsey county member. He
contended that the action was without
precedent and that 1t was entirely
uncalled for and not in keeping with
the scenes witnessed on the floor sev-
eral days ago when the Emmons coun-
mctnUSl b64U pOAoOAo II AOAAA SAAS OuS
side had pushed members from their
seats to vote.
Mr.. Hyland made brief rejoinder
vhereupon Mr.. Streeter again took
the floor. On this occasion he took
occasion to declare the action Of the
Ramsey county gentleman an insult
that was not called for, and indulging
in a brief statement as to essential
qualifications which b alleged that
Mr.. Hyland was lacking, he ended up
by declaring that he (Hyland) was
one Of those who had been pushed
from his seat to vote.
Its a lie, shouted Hyland, and
the next moment, Streeter, still stand
ing. started toward him grabbing a
book from a nearby desk, but imme'
diately overcoming his anger he gave
I'D his very evident intention.

peal from the recent decision OF the
interstate commerce commission de-
nying the roads increased freight
rates. They will accept the decree
of the commission as final. It Is ar.
gued that il tho roads comply with
the decree without objection and with
draw the advanced tariffs before
March 10, there would be an oppor-
tunity at a later date to submit ad-
vances on certain rates, some of which

For Forty-five Years His Son Toiled
In the Australian
Bush.

Forty-five years ago a keen, pleas
ant faced man in a green velvet waist
coat might have been seen on the
platform at Waterloo Station, London
At his side was young fellow of 90,
his face flushed with emotion.
"Good-by, my boy, and God bless
you," spoke the elder man. do your
duty and keep up your pluck"
The young man thought of all the
good times he had had with his father
of ali the wonderful talks, and
games, and journeys they had enjoyed
together-he and the best. the kindest
father in all the world-the tears
sprang to his eyes. The two gripped
hands again and the train steamed
away. And that night England-and
London-and Rochester and Gad's
Hill-were shut out for forty-fve
years while the young man worked
and dreamed and hoped in the Aus
tralian bush. The elder man was
Charles Dickens-the younger was his
son, Alfred Tennyspa Dickens, god-son
of the poet laureate.
Forty-fve years passed And then
one morning Alfred Tennyson Dick.
ems, no longer young, but with white
bair, arrived in his native London.
