ARIZONA Laws
same As n. D.
Especial to the Trlbune)

MINOT, June 12,-"Now, Mr.. Lam
zen," asked Judge Murray, this morn
ing of Charles Lanzen, who was ar
rested last night for shooting up the
City Cafe, seeing that you claim to
come from Arizona will you please
tell me whether or not you could do
a thing like that in your home state.
I am asking you because l don't know
but that the laws of Arizona might
be different from those Of North Da'
kota and you did it because you were
ignorant of the law here"
But Mr.. Lanzen had to admit that
Arizona didn't permit promiscuous
shooting and that he didn't use his
gun through ignorance of the law ard
also asked that he be allowed to
plead guilty before the county court
this afternoon.
Lanzen, who had imbibed a little
too freely last night, visited the City
Cafe under the postoffice building and
because things didn't move fast
enough for him shot out a window.

D|REC1 ELECTION
Of U.s.. SENATORS
VOTED ON TODAY

Within half an hour after the be.
ginning of today's session the Senate
entered upon a consideration of the
resolution providing for the election
of United States senators by direct
vote of the people, on which there
had been an agreement to vote before
the end of the day. 1t was understood
that there would be an extended dis
cussion of the resolution before the
vote could be reached. Senator Nc
Cumber was the first speaker.
WASHINGTON, June 12-While sup
porting the general proposition for the
election of Senators by direct vote in
a speech made in the Senate today,
Senator McCumber of North Dakota,
contended that it's enactment into a
law would not prove a panecea, for
all ills of the body polite. He pre-
dicted that the man who thinks It
is such will awake to the fact that
in escaping some of the evils of legis-
lative corruption, he has entered into
field of equally insiduous danger
and broader opportunity for corrup-
tions.
"That which has sometimes been
brought into use to convert the indi
vidual legislator under the present
system" said he, will be used to con-
vert the public under the new system,
not so much by direct dealing with the
public as by controlling and getting
at the source of public political in
structions."
McCumber feared danger in the
popular primaries involving two cam.
paigns as he said they would. He
added that an election under such
conditions would cause such great
expense that only milliona1res or
demogogues could affor dto be candi-
dates. McCumber announced his in
tention to vote against the entire pro-
position in case of the removal Of
government supervision to senator's.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-After
being before the Senate for some
weeks, the bill to submit to the states
the question of SO amending the fed
eral constitution as to admit OF the
selection of United States senators
by popular vote was scheduled to
come to a vote in that body today. At
the last session of Congress similar
measure failed Of passage by mar
row margin. Since then the move
ment has gained strength through the
advent of new senators and the pre-
dictiOn was made that the measure
would carry.

Every Branch Of Industry to

(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, June 12.-So care
fully guarded were the operations OF
the American Sugar Refining company
up to less than two years ago, E. r.
Atkins, vice president and acting
head of the corporation, told the
House investigating committee today,
that stockholders were accorded no
information as to how the company
was being conducted.
Conditions grew so seriosu, the VIII
ness said, that New England stock
holders combined and obtained con-
troll. When they did so, in 1910, they
discovered to their astonishment that
s. O. Havemeyer, president genius
of the organization, had maintained
his supremacy with only 1000 shares
of stock.
The holdings Of Havermeyer at the
time of his death, Atkins said, were
valued at about 100000 OF the total
of 100000, 900 in the American Sugar
Refining company.
That was a surprising discovery,
he declared. 1T had generally been
supposed that Havemyer owned q
greater part of the stock Atkins
said the New England interests OBJ

discovered from an examination that
