WILL FORCE ACTION.
Brown of Nebraska Announces Ulti-
matum on Lorimer Case.

q
Washington. Feb 1.-Unless the
senate votes at this session on the
Senator Lorimer case. the resolution
pie bill to create a permanent tariff
bill, Senator Norris Brown of Nebras-
ka, and some of his colleagues who
favor the measure named, and deter
mined that appropriation bills also
shall fail. Senator Brown from the
floor of the senate today said he had
no quarrel with the rule that APP
preparation acts come first, but that
he would object to its application in
the light of the present emergency
unless it were agreed in advance that
there be votes on the four propositions
named before Adjournment
This is not said as a threat, nor in
the nature of an uItimatum,'' said
Senator Brown. 81 am stating a sim
pie fact and 1t is well, with only four
working weeks ahead of us that we
understand what the facts are in that
regard. If congress adjourns without
action. on these measures con-
gress will adjourn without ac-
ton on some of the appropriation
bills Failure of any one of the reg
ular appropriation bills would neces-
state an extra session of congress.
Senator Burrows of Michigan, chair
man of the committee on privileges
and elections after an early call at the
White House today said he expected a
vote would be taken in the senate
within few days on the seating of
Senator Lorimer of Illinois.

She DID NOT KNOW
Nan Ewing, Morphine Fiend, Is
irresponsible.
So Say Doctors at Her Murder
Trial Today.

Expert witnesses and the hypothet-
icaI question made up the procedure
in the Nan Ewing murder trial in the
district court today. After Defending
Attorneys Geo. McDermott and Hugh
Mcfarland had propounded a score of
short questions, County Attorney
Simon submitted one of 10 minutes
length.
DR.. e. S. Pettyjohn, medical director
of the knights and Ladies of Security,
proved an invaluable witness for the
defense in the matter of the irresponsi-
bility of Nan Ewing. the morphine
fiend.
It was his opinion that morphine
user under the influence of the drug
had no more responsibility than a per-
son dead drunk from alcohol. He ex-
planned that such person was NOR
phine maniac and entered into NOR
phine sprees during which he was alb
solutely unaccountable for his acts.
Upon cross examination, he stated
that a person unused to morphine
could not enjoy one of these Sprees be-
cause with the same dose, he would
die, and with a smaller dose the only
result to be obtained would be d
stupor. TT is impossible to produce
an acute condition like the chronic, :"
he explained.
With Dr. Leo Haughey of the state
insane asylum as coach, County A.
torney Simon made vigorous attempt
to 1iscredit the testimony of this wit
ness but without avail. In answer to
a hypothetical question whether such
a person as Nan Ewing was insane,
the doctor replied that the most insane
person on earth was a morphine
maniac.
DR.. L. v. Sans, for the defense.
cd
Ewing would be absolutely unbeliev-
able and that the chief characteristic
of a morphine habitue was that the
person was an "inveterate liar"
This refers directly to the confession
of Nan Ewing that she gave Joseph
Rice morphine in order to rob him. He
stated thu such a person would not
distinguish between right and wrong
and Furthermore that she was insane.
The defense then jumped onto the
fact that no autopsy was ever held
over the body of Rice to determine
ing the doctor whether, without such
an autopsy, he would dare say per-
son had been SO poisoned. He an
swered in the negative.
The various ailments from which
Rice might have died, according to the
indications, included morphine poison
ing, apoplexy, fracture at base of skull,
alcoholic poisoning. and uraemic pois-
onirg 1t has been indicated that the
defense would set up apoplexy as the
most probable of these.
Simon forestalled this rather effect
ually when he asked DR.. Sans if ii
were not true that out of 53S deaths
from apoplexy only five victims were
over 81 years of age, and the doctor
answered in the affirmative. Rice was
SO years old and the county attorney
went further to show that the usual
cases of apoplexy occur between the
ages of so and go.
The physicians estimated the NOR
! phine cubes, of which Rice was given
three. contained from three-fourths of
| one grain to one and one-half grains
of norphi- sufficient amount to
| kill anyone not accustomed to eating
| the drug

FINED FOR STEALING HAMMER.
Man Who Was Making Good Wages
Loses Position Besides.

Police Judge Urmy almost came to
tears today when he fined E. Tramp
ton, a Santa Fe shopman. SIS for steal
ing a company hammer. HE has a
wife and and a daughter about ten
years old. He will lose his job with
the Santa Fe where he was earning $50
month. 1t does seem that was
enough to keep him and his family,
but they say he got to taking things
and they left this hammer where they
could watch for it's disappearance .
said the judge. Frampton was arrest-
ed by Santa Fee Detective Burge.
Then there were two men brought
up for stealing coal from the Rock
Island cars They were arrested by
Detective Sanders. Frank Burkart and
George Hawk were their names.
Burkart was a single man with little
care and Judge Urmy fined him SIS
upon his plea of guilty. Hawk has a
wife and baby and is in hard circum-
stances. He evidently needed the coal.
His wife, neat little woman, was with
him in the police court. She looked so
sorry the judge just had to- release her
husband upon his promise never to
steal again.
