All yesterday and today visitors

Senator Scott shocked.

Immediately after the invocation
Senator Lodge rose and moved that
when the Senate adjourn it be until
noon on Monday.
When he was seated, Senator Scott
of West Virginia. colleague Of Mr.. FL.
kins, rose.
The broken voice and quavering
hand of Senator Scott told too plainly
Of the shock which he had sustained.
He has himself only recently recov-
cred, in part, from severe Illness, and
aid only the necessities of the occa-
sion and the burden Of the sad duty
that had fallen to him, brought him
to his at yesterday.
In few words. every one of which
was uttered with an effort, Senator
Scott said it had become his sad duty
to announce the death OF his col
league, Senator Stephan Benton Ell
kins, at 12 o'clock Wednesday night
The loss is a very profound per-
sonal one to me-" he said. 1T ends
a remarkable career of usefulness in
beth public and private life, through
out which Senator Elkins always de-
voted his energies and efforts to those
things which he conscientiously be-
lieyed right. His loss is severe one
to the country, while to the State of
West Virginia, which he had so long
served and in so many capacities, it is
the most serious she could have ex-
perienced."
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1911-01-14

The morning prayer alluded only in
directly to the loss which the Senate
and the country had sustained and
implcred Divine strength TO sustain
the blow which death had delivered to
friends. associates, and co-workers of
many years.

THE DUKE DE AsRUZZI
SENDS CONDOLENCES

Rome, Jan. 1.-THE Duke of the,
Abruzzi has cabled his condolences to
the family of Senator Elkins.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1911-01-14
President Is Grisved.

An hour later President Taft. ac-
eompanied by his AIDE Capt. Archibald
Butt, called to tender his sympathy to
the family. From that time On
scores of visitors stopped to leave
their cards and express their profound
sorrow at the death of one Of the most
popular men in public life IN Washing
ton.
At the time of the Senator's death,
at II o'clock Wednesday night, all the
members of the Senator'S family
were at his bedside with the excep-
ton of his two daughters by his first
wife. Mrs. Elizabeth Weidersein, of
Philadelphia, and Mrs. Sarah f. Oil
plant, of Trenton. N. j. These two
daughters reached the Elkins home
shortly after noon yesterday, aud will
accompany the body to Elkins tonight
Seldom has the passing of public
man created so much genuine sorrow
in Washington, as has that of Senator
Elkins. Not only in Congress and in
The departments where he was best
known, but on the street, in the banks
and elsewhere the shock was felt. The
West Virginian and his family had
been prominent in the official and so
Clal life of the Capital fer so many
years that his death created a feel
ing of distinct personal loss.

Aldrich is Next.

Senators Aldrich and Kean follow
in order, but both will retire from the
Senate after March 4. This leaves Sen
ator Clapp of Minnesota the prospec-
tive chairman. He has been an insur-
gent Of the insurgents. but the prob
ehilities are that he will become chair
man, and it is even calculated that the
insurgents may secure control of the
committee.
Projecting this analysis of the per-
sonnet of a single committee, over
the entire Senate, it is easy to realize
how sweeping win be the effect OF
the numerous, changes that have
taken or are socn to take place.
Concerning the succession to Sen
ator Elkins from West Virginia, very
little can be predicted at this time.
Even since election a bitter fight for
the seat Of Senator Scott has been
going on among the Democrats of the
Legislature
Probably the leading candidates at
this time are Messrs Chiffon. Ciar.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1911-01-14
Committee Named.

Senator Scott's voice broke several
times, and it seemed as if he would
not be able to finish his statement. FL
neily controlling himself, however, he
offered the customary resolution de.
claring the sorrow with which the
Senate receives announcement of the
death of a member, and asking that
the Chair be directed to name a COM
mittee to represent the Senate at the
funeral.
The resolution being adopted, Vice
President Sherman announced the fol-
lowing committee:
Senators Hale and Frye of Maine,
Aldrich of Rhode Island, Cullom of
Illinois, Gallinger of New Hamp-
shire, Lodge of Massachusetts, Bacon
of Georgia, Tillman of South Caro-
liza, Kean of New Jersey, bailey of
Texas, Foster of Louisiana, Stone of
Missouri, Crane of Massachusetts,,
Carter of Montana. Smith Of Mary
land and Root of New York
The Senate then, on motion of Sem
ator Sect, as a further mark of re-
sPect, adjourned

Changes in the Senate.

The death of Senator Elklns, assur-
ing as it does, that after March 4
West Virginia will be represented by
two Democratic Senators, has i'm
pressed anew the revolution IN the
Senate's personnel, which is going on
Senator Aldrich and Hale may now be
said to be the only survivors Of that
remarkable group CT elder statesmen
who a few years ago completely dom
mated the upper chamber.
The deaths of Allison and Orville H
Piatt, CT Connecticut, the resignation
of John c. Spooner, and now the death
OF Senator Elkins, with other changes
that have recently taken place, have
made the Senate a body that could
hardly recognize itself.
The conflict of different interests
ana personalities for control will be
tho more marked and the more i'm
portant because after March A the Re-
publican majority will probably not be
over six or seven, and it will be easily
possible FIR the so-called progressive
Republicans, in coalition with the
d moerats to dominate the body.
Take for example the important
Committee on Interstate Commerce,
Of which Senator Elkins was chair
nan. Senator Cullom of Illinois be-
comes ranking member. but is under
stood not to desire the chairmanship.

All Mourn Loss.

1t was a mournful end to a glad
yule tide season and Senators and Re
personalities alike shared in the feel
ing of depression.
There was an impressive hush
throughout the Senate chamber when
that body met at noon, less than
twelve hurs after the death of Senator
Elkins.
AS a rule, the Senate is not very
regular about being on time. The
great majority of Senators ordinarily
wander into the chamber within the
first two or three minutes after the
Invocation
Yesterday morning was striking
exception. Almost every Senator was
at his place when the gavel fell, Every
eye was on the presiding officer, and
when the invocation was announced
the senators rose and stood with bow.
ed heads, and listening intently to the
words Of the chaplain.

BIDS WANTED ON NEW
Main Street BRIDGE
BIDDERS TO SUBMIT THEIR
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
Council Decides on Immediate Con-
neutrality-suspicious. of Closing Au-
IA and Lilleth Streets Up Next
Week.

Bids for the construction of a bridge
across the river at Main street will be
advertised for Immediately, follow
ing the adoption Of the tentative
plans and specifications of City En-
gineer Geary Kimbrell at a meeting
Of the council last night. Just at
present it has not been decioed
whether the bridge shall run across
the river straight with the street or
at an angle, and this decision will be
contingent upon the ability of the
city to purchase a small piece Of
ground on the north side of the river.
However, according to the city engi-
neer, there will be no difference in
expense except a slight increase in the
cost of abuttments in case the bridge
should be run across at an agile. Each
bidder will be required to submit
complete plans and specifications Of
his own.
Closing Of Streets.
Mayor Murphy served notice on the
council last night that an ordinance
to close Aura and Lilleth streets at
their intersection with the railroad
would be read for the first time at
the meeting next week and it is ex-
pected there will be considerable dis
cussion on the matter.
Sprinlkling Contracts.
Acting upon the recommendation
Of the mayor, the council voted to
have the recorder advertise for bids
for the sprinkling of the city's streets
on the same plan as that adopted last
year.
Sewer on Court Street.
Engineer Kimbrell also made a re-
extension Of the sewer system past
the asylum site, showing the cost and
advantages Of different routes. From
this report 1t became apparent 10 ali
Of the councilmen that it is most adj
visable to run the extension out Court
street n to abandon the $500 feet
which cuts off across country to the
present outlet. Councilman Sharon,
who has been the chief advocate OF
retaining the line already laid, nst
night admitted that he had become
convinced hat the Court street ex-
tension vas more feasible n with
drew his opposition. Just what size
pipe will be used has not been decid-
ed but it is probable that it will be
either 20 inch or % inch, either one
Of which will carry several times the
present amount of sewage. The SEN
timent expressed last night was also
in favor of the extension of the Webb
or Alta street sewers in the near fu-
ture in order that the southwest por-
ton Of the city may AVE connections.
1t is probable that a lateral will be
run from the Court street extension
to connect with the west end school,
as the city engineer was of the opin-
ion that such a line is practicable.
