DIRECT VOTE WINS
Senate Adopts Resolution
For Elections by People.
SOUTHfRNtRS OPPOSED IT.
Proposition to Almond United States
Constitution to Allow Voters to
Elect Senators Now Goes to
States For Ratification.

Washington, June 13.-The senate
passed the resolution proposing an
amendment to the federal constitution
providing for the election of senators
by direct vote. The action of the SEN
ate marked the successful elimination
of an effort which has extended over
more than quarter Of century to
bring this question before the state
legislatures. The resolution was passed
by the senate by a vote of Cd to 24,
two-thirds of those present, or fifty
nine, being necessary to carry the
proposition.
The resolution as adopted, however,
carried with it the so called Bristow
amendment. which will necessitate its
return to the house Of representatives,
which had already passed it. If the
house acts favorably upon the resolu-
tion in its amended form, which seems
likely, it will go to the states for rati-
fcation as an amendment to the Unit
ed States constitution.
The Bristow amendment retains to
the federal government power over the
uldHHer, time ana place OF holding
elections for United States senators.
The southerners opposed the amend
ment on the ground that it would give
the federal government power to in
terfere with the so called grand
father clauses" Of the constitutions of
the southern states. The vote on the
Bristow amendment was a tie-44 to
44-and Vice President Sherman cast
the vote which tackled the amendment
to the resolution. Upon the vice presi-
dent may eventually rest the response
bility for the failure of the resolution
for southern senators declared that it
would never be accepted in it's present
form by the legislatures of southern
states.
These are the senators who voted
against the resolution on the final pas
sage: Bacon. Bankhead, Brandegee.
Burnham. Crane, Dillingham;, Fletcher,
Foster, Gallnger, Hepburn. Johnston.
Lippitt, Lodge, Lorimer, Oliver, Page,

At Allentown, Pa, Lightning Also Did
Much Damage

Allentown, Pa, June 13.-Three men
were killed and damage was inflicted
amounting to hundreds of thousands
of dollars in a cloudburst that hit AL
lentown alst night.
"Chain lightning" that blinded the
onlookers was accompanied by terri
flying thunder. A gale that rose to
seventy miles an hour blew down trees
by the hundreds in every part of the
city. The trees tore down electric
lights and trolley wires.
At Tenth and Union streets lightning
struck tree which fell on a house In
which Mrs. Carrie Allender conducted
hotel. One side of the house was
built of corrugated iron. A high ten.
sion wire carrying 1900 volts fell
against the iron side Of the house.
Two men in the house, Hannibal Dot
terer and Irwin Cackenbach, were elec.
trocuted and Mrs. Alexander shocked
into insensibility. John Wagner, a
friend of the men killed, rushed into
the house In a heroic effort to rescue
them. AS he touched Dotterer's body
he was shocked unconscious and he
died as he was being carried into a
house across the street.

David H. G. Warren, painter. was
convicted before Judge Davis In quar-.

perjury. Sentence was deferred unit,

trial be disposed of.
The discovery of the attempt t.
mulct the Bergdoll company brough
the damage suit to a sudden close
Judge Martin throwing Warren's cast
out of court Warren said he had re
ceived injuries by being struck by a
Bergdoll taXicab at Broad and Arch
streets on Feb. 8, 1909. He sued for
$4,000 damages.
Warren's undoing was brought about
by the confession Of Harry Bradley, a
former employee of his, made to Arnc
Z. Morwitz, counsel for the Bergdoll
company. Bradley told the attorney
that he was in a scheme to eXtort
damages from. the Bergdoll concern
and that his part in the conspiracy
was to obtain as many witnesses as
would for a money consideration tes-
t1fy that they were eye witnesses to
the accident to Warren
Morwitz employed John A. Stephan,
private detective, who by a prear-
ranged plan met Warren in Logan
square and apparently fell in with the
scheme. Stephan was taken to the
office Of lawyer who was counsel for
Warren in the damage suit. Warren
offered Stephan $50 to give perjured
testimony.
After his arrest Warren went to the
home of Mr.. Morwitz and offered "to
lay bare the entire plot and tell who
was back of it" if the attorney would
intercede to secure him his liberty.
This Mr.. Morwitz refused to do.
