SENATE IS WARNED
IN LORIMER CASE
Bailey Tells Colleagues He
Insists on Vote.

1t looked for a few minutes yesterday
as if the Senate would vote on the Lori
mer case. After Senator McCumber had
concluded his speech in opposition TO
Canadian reciprocity, Senator Burrows,
in aharge of the Lorinier case, asked
that the Lorimer matter be laid be-
fore the Senate.
There appeared to be nobody ready
to speak on tn QUESTION, and Vice Presi-
dent Sherman was on the point of sub
hitting the question to the Senate,
when manp voices were raised in pro-
test Finally Senator Stone. of Mis-
sonri, moved to adjOhrn, and demanded
votes, while seventy were cast against
him, but it gave the opponents OF Lori
mer a chance to rally their forces.
After tn motion to adjourn had been
voted down, II was agreed that the case
should be laid aside until next week,
and the Senate be permitted to pro-
coed to the consideration of the agri-
cultural appropriation bill Before the
incident was ended, however, Senator
Bailey uttered a warning to his col
leagues. He told them that the Lori
mr. case was a question Of the highest
privilege, and that it must be settled
before the Senate adjourns. He said it
was manifest that there was a plan to
filibuster against a vote on the subject
and throw II over into the next Con-
gress He told the Senate that he would
insist on a vote, even IL the appropria-
ton bills fail.
THE people have sent us here to
transact certain public businss, and the
sooner it is transacted the better" said
Mr.. Bailey. Il am not one of those
who believe that an extra session will
be a public calamity"

added, is but the slightest percentage
of the cost OF living. 1t is the service
that you pay for. Did It ever occur to
you that the farmer does rot get 4 cents
out of the average meal consumed by

Senator McCumber described the fine
residences along Massachusetts, avenue

extravaganza and ostentatious rivalry"

TRIES TO FREE HUSBAND
Stella jackson Says Stepfather Was
After Him When Killed

Stella jackson Legitimate daughter
OF Mrs. William Murphy and common
law wife of Harry Archer, was the star
witness for the defense at today's hear
ing of the Archer murder case. She
had an unpleasant two hours under
cross examination but chung fervently
TO her direct story of the killing of her
stepfather.
the jury this morning asked the court
to have the testimony of John Spau1d-
ing reviewed. Spaulding was an eye
witness to the killing and an import
ant factor in the states case Under
cross examination Spaulding had con-
tradicted much of his earlier testimony
and when the jury returned from the
Murphy home, asked for the reading of
the testimony.
Then the defense called Stella Jack
son. She refuted her testimony and
said her mother was never married
to her father. She then told how she
had taken a neighbours children to see
the circus parade and to the show the
day of the killing. That evening she
was tired and refused to cook Archer's
supper There was a row. she said,
and her mother advised her not to
live with the defendant. She repeated
this statement to Archer and he SAID
he would leave. She didn't want him to
go, she said, and tried to keep a suit
of his clothes and seized a gun and
knife, declaring they were two articles
he would never take.
Then Mrs. Murphy is said to have ia
ken another hand in the affairs and
the witness admitted she had cursed
her mother It was in the course Of
one of these rows, the Jackson girl
testified, that Murphy ran to the pump
and seized a club, declaring he would
knock Archer's head off He was ad-
vancing on Archer when the defendant
took the revolver which the witness
held in her lap. She said he fired high
in the air twice, but Murphy kept
coming. Then ne fired q third shot
that resulted in Mdrphy's death.
Under cross examination the witress
was a bit hazy as to distances and GER
tain actions of the parties to the crime,
but she held to her direct story with
but little contradiction Transcript
from the inquest seemed to worry the
girl and it was not always easy for
her to adjust varying statements in
the two hearings.
It is probable that the defense will
close its case late this afternoon. The
of time consumed will depend
largely on the cross examination of

Oldest Operator in Kansas Gets
His Second Pension.
Charles A. Paxsen, Wichita, Re-
membered by Western Union.
CARNEGIE HELPS HIM
Began Sending Messages When a
Boy in 1853.
Serves as Military Operator
Throughout Civil War.

Wichita. Kan, Oct 12.-Notice of The
first pension awarded to an employee
of the Western Union Telegraph com
pany in this city has been received by
Charles A. Paxson. the oldest opera
tor in this city, and probably in the
state. The pension is given under d
newly instituted pension system of the
Western Union company, which has
as yet not been fully arranged as 70
details
Mr.. Paxson has been in the telegraph
business since 1853, when as a mere
boy he went to work near his home
town of Amity, Ohio. At the outbre9k
of the civil war young Paxton entered
the military telegraph work and saw
much actual field service during the
early part of the war.
This is the first pension awarded
in Wichita to a Western Union en-
ployee. The pension system of the
Western Union has not been fully per-
fected as yet. but it is practically as
sured that a regular system of pen
sions for aged employees will be in
stalled soon. The Carnegie pension
for civil war telegraph operators is
granted partly to make up for SEEM
ing negligence on the part of the gov
eminent in granting any pensions to
these men, proposition which has
been considerably agitated but never
brought about.
