Today.

Washington. June 12.-The senate
will vote toaay on the resolution pro-
posing an ameadment to the federal
constitution that will provide for the
direct election OF United states sen.
ators. There seems TO be no doubt
that the resolution will be adopted
by the senate, but probably not in the
form that It came from the house.
The test will come on the amend
ment to retain TO the federal govern
ment the power to control the cleo
tions in the states for senators by
prescribing the time, place and man
ner Of holding such elections, when
ever congress in its judgment may
Ceem II rcccssary TO exercise that
power. II IS likely that this amend
mcnt win prevail by a very narrow
majority. The opponents Of the
amendment admit that the outlook is
in doubt.

Smith and Frank Burke, who is an

had been trouble between Smith and
Burke before, and after long wran-

he suggested that the feud be settled
in an empty lot where they could
fight unmolested. They went there,
each contestant followed by his adj
mirers, and then came a squabble as
to what rules the fight should be un.

tore off his coat and made for Burke
