Washington, Jan. 16.-Debate in the
Lorimer case is expected 70 break out
in full blast next week. Members OF
the privileges and elections committee
who signed the majority report favor
ing Lorimer will defend their course.
Senator Gamble is getting ready to de-

Lorimer from being ousted. 1t is de-
clared today they cannot muster much
over a third OF the Senate.

course in assailing Lorimer's right to
his seat.

WOMAN ADMITS THE
MURDER OF HER SON
Mrs. Edith Melber Gives Lad
Carbolic Acid When He Asks :
for Water.

Rochester, N. Y, Jan. 16.-Outsped
by the telegraph, recognized by her
photograph and identified by her lug
gage Mrs. Edith Melber. of Schenec-
tady, was arrested in the New York
Central railroad station here yesterday
afternoon and charged with the MUIR
der Of her son George, 8 years old, who
was found frozen In a swamp near AL ,
bany last Wednesday, with stains Of
acid on his lips. Less than an hour
later she had confessed to the murder.
Under fire Of questions she soon
broke down and shaking from pitiable
sobs told the whole horrible story. She
gave her child carbolic acid to drink
when he asked for water, she admitted,
and left the body among the weeds.
The young woman says she is 20
years old. She is pretty and was
jaunty and self possessed when ap-
preached by the detectives who had
been detailed to arrest her.
In explanation of her crime, the police
say, Mrs. Melber says she has been a
widow four years, during which time
she has had to struggle to care for her,
self and her child and that this battle
for existence drove her to take the
boys life.
The police were able to make tho
arrest by keeping watch in the station
over a trunk that had been checked
from Schenectady, and believed to be
the property of Mrs. Melber. When the
woman appeared to get 1t soon after 8
o'clock she was arrested.

There was one unusual feature, thel
absence Of an official delegation rep-I
resenting the state government Of Ar
kansas. The failure of Governor Don-i
aghey, or other official representatives
to attend was due to a controversy be-
tween the governor and the navy de-,
partment over the date Of the launch-l
mg, the governor wanting to have the
affair postponed so that the state could
make adequate arrangements to send
IN official party.
Many Arkansans There.
There was, however. quite a largel
delegation of Arkansans present. The
navy department was officially repre-
sented by Beekman Winthrop. assist
ant secretary and a long list Of rear
