SENATORIAL DEADLOCK
PROSPECT At ALBANY
Sheehan in the Lead But Short of
Required Vote.

Albany. y. Y, Jan. 17.-For the
first time since the bitter fight that
followed the resignation Of Senators
Conklin gand Platt in 1881 the legis-
lature of New York Nfaces a dead
lock on the question of the election of
member of the upper house of con-
gress.
This is the situation after the
first day Of balloting for a successor
to Senator Depew, with William
Sheehan apparently i'm the lead and
the probable choice if he can main
tain the strength thus far shown.
The senate and assembly balloted
separately today, but neither gave
any candidate the majority required.
The first point ballot will be at noon
tomorrow. If Sheehan holds the
Legislators who voted for him today
he will lead the field with ninety
votes.

STALKED IN THE HOUSE
PASSAGE OF ARMY APPRoPRIA
TON BILL.
Mr.. Tawney Remarks On Ten Costly
Years of Preparation.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE spectre
of war stalked in the house TODAY.
and its appearance was made the oc-
| casion for the wholesale flaying of
military critics and for furnishing
reasons for liberality i'm appropria-
tions. The army appropriation bill.
carrying appropriations of approx
mately $93. 000, 000, was under discus
sion and finally was passed. after a
debate on the military preparedness
of the nation and the future of aero
planes, which won an appropriation
of s125.0O0, a tribute to the value of
the national guard. and an appro-
priation of $4,000 for field artillery
for the organized militia, which in
volved. according to Mr.. Evans of
Minnesota a plan that would require
$30.0OO.O00 to fully carry it out.
The debate on the effectiveness of
the army was opened with a denun-
citation by Chairman Hull of the mill
tary affairs committee of published
Interview, in which Frederick Lewis
Huidekoper, a Washington city law
yer. contended that the army was i'm
lamentable state.
Mr.. Douglas of Ohio said that con-
gress should be grateful to Mr. Hull
for his exposition of the prepared
ness of the war department Mr..
Tawney. chairman of the appropria-
ton committee, declared that the
amount of money the government has
expended in ten years in preparation
for war would build five Panama
canals.

Tawney. -four times the aggregate
loss of the American people and the
people of Canada on account of all
the great fires between 1920 and 1905;

an amount that would more than

.HAbITUAL ASSASSIN
TRIED TO KILL PREMIER
HE TOOK TWO SHOTS AT PREMIER
BRAND.
An Exciting Moment in French Cham
Der of Deputies.

Paris. Jan. IA man sitting among
! the spectators i'm the gallery of the
chamber of deputies today suddenly
drew revolver and fired two shots at
Premier BRAND. The premier escaped
injury, but Leon Mirman. director of
public relief, received one bullet in the
leg.
VI. Gristehau. under secretary Of ma
rine, who occupied a. seat directly be-
hind BRAND, happened to look toward
the gallery just before the first shot
was fired. He saw the direction in
which the weapon was aimed and
knew that the premier's life was
threatened
He sprang up and urged the premier
to protect himself-tO lean over his
desk. but BRAND refued. The next in
slant two shots were heard and Mir
man fell over into Brands arms
The greatest commOtiOn ensued
among the deputies while several spec
tators sprang upon the man who still
held the revolver in his hands. They
bore him down, and several deputies
running into the gallery struck at him.
Then it was discovered by the police
who came to the rescue that the man
was NJ GisOlme. a well known indi-
vidual who once made an unsuccessful
attempt on the life of the British con-
sui at San Bebastian and had been
placed in an asylum for the insane
Amid all the uproar. BRAND maintained
his cOmposure. apparently having quite
accustomed himself to being made the
object of attacks.
As in the case of the attempt to do
him injury in the Tuilleries gardens
last November, the premier himself
went to the aid of his assailant. Later
he declined to discuss the incident.

 PAINFULLY HURT Accidents Occur at Two Different Fires Tester
 day Morning

The hoodoo that lowered over the fire department several weeks ago reap peared yesterday and five members of the fire department were painfully in- iured. Three of the men were hurt by falling ladders and piece of tin fell on the fourth, cutting his thumb to the bone and inflicting a very seri- ous wound which may develop blood poisoning.
 None of the men was able to work yesterday and will probably be off duty for some time before their in- juries heal sufficiently to allow them to resume their duties.
 F.. w. Barrett of station No. 4 rup- tured ligament in his leg yesterday morning at the fire on Fifth avenue by falling from a ladder. R. R. Ramey suffered severe bruises about the arms and head at the same time that Bar rett was injured.

AFTER DEATH OF HUSBAND THE WIFE SHOOTS HER SON TO DEATH AND PUTS BULLET INTO HER OWN BRAIN

Oxford, Me, February 12.-In fulfilment Of compact made with her husband during lis lingering illness, which death ended yesterday, Mrs. Lynwood s. Keene took her own life today after having fatally shot her 14-year-od son Gerald. The compact, dated about month back, was found by the coroner in a sealed envelope | Tn the woman's roorp.
 keene was once a prosperous farmer, tut according to the compact the family had become impoverished and discour- aged during his long sickness. He was 3S Tears old and his wife a year or two younger
 The document found in a dresser in Mir. Keene's room along with several farewell letters to relatives, bore the names of both Mir and Mrs. Keene. although the husband apparently had been too fec ble to make more than his mark, his name being written bS, his wife. The doc usnent recited briefly the family troubles. the result of Mir. Keene's Illness.
 In 1t his death was predicted, and if was stated as both the parents thought 1t would be wrong to have their son re- main in the world to suffer the troubles they had experienced. Mrs Keene bound herself to do away in the words of the ccITpdct. Wltn HefSelI ana tne1r son Ger ala as soon as possible after the death of the husband and father.
 Friends of the family who were in the house today assisting in preparing the body of MT. Keene for burial, heard shots fired upstairs. They found the boy in bed in his chamber with bullet wound in his right temple. So close had the revolver been held to the child's head, probably while he was asleep. that the hair about his temple was singed. The boy lived less than an hour.
 The door of Mrs. Keene's room was broken in and her body was found stretched on the bed. She had placed the revolver muzzle to the roof of her mouth and fired, death probably being instan- taneous.
 1r letters to relatives to whom small gifts were nfade of personal belongings, the husband and wife asked to be buried in double casket and that their sons coffin and theirs be placed in the same box for final interment. The triple funer- al will be held here next Wednesday.

REBEL GENERALS
 DISCUSS PLANS Gen. Casillas Says He Will
 Capture Juarez
FORCES ARE LIMITED
InsurectO Army at Juarez Consists of About One Thousand Men and Others Will Join
 Them Soon

El Paso, Texas. February 12.-(Spe- cial )-Colonel Casillas arrived here yes- terday from Fl Villa. Casillas is the gray eagle of the insurrecto forces; he is a lawyer and was before that news paper reporter in Mexico, so, of course, he is a good strategist.
 "I am here to confer with the junta, he said this afternoon. T have noth- ing to say about our plans further than thev are good and that we will cap ture Juarez.
 "Yes." chimed in the provisional sec retary of state, Hernandez, i've will certainly take Juarez. When we give up that hope we will shoot ourselves.
 Colonel Casillas Is man who should be chief; he is wiry, keen and has had 10 battles and won 10 of them.
 Secretary of State Hernandez said his people were grieved at the numbers credited to them. He places Orozco men at 800, Casillas' at 180 and Blanco' at 400. This is enough if concentrated 10 stop Navarro, but concentration IS not a feature of insurrecto tempera ment.
 There were 400 insurrectos brought here this afternoon from near Ysleta' where they had been shot up in skirmish some days ago; they have been placed in the hospital here.
 Casillas captured Ell Villa on Febru- sry and took 70 prisoners whom ne turned loose save five men whom ne made his servants. He also got some rifles and $500 in money; he was re ceived with exclamation by the 1uh'a for funds do not seem profuse.
 Recruits continue to cross the riVei with no trouble. There were 19 wen' over last night and more or less constant stream of them cross every day. No men are. accepted who can not furnish their own rifles and am munition.
 Jefe Martinez of Juarez believes that Navarro will enter that clty tofhorroM and a grand pail in his honor IS ar ranged for tomorrow. It may be like that Waterloo ball. Further bel1ef O! security is shown by the advertising of a bull fight in that place tomorrow To provide for this the federal troops of Colonel Robago were moved from the bull ring today to other quarters The elusive Blanco, it was learned from Colonel Casillas. joined him last week St Fl Villas, but left him presumably for Casas Grande.
 The aviators here flew today but were warned that whatever they saw On the Mexican side they must keer secret and if they were fired on by the Mexicans, either federals or fnsur- gents. this government could offer them no redress
 No one is sending out all the reports that come in for no one can tell their truth.
 As far as reliable information goes Navarro has not been attacked as yet
 T l,@ ot-rfx tomorrow night, if he is not put under the sand meanwhile.
 There is still showing of friction among the insurrecto colonels but the board of strategy Is expected to rem edy this condition.
