DISCUSSED
RaYner Urges That no Amend
mentS Be Tackled on

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE senate
lost no time today in getting to work
on the joint resolution providing for
the constitutional amendment author
izing the election of United States
senators by direct vote Of the people
While there was no agreement to this
effect the friends of the measure were
very hopeful that during the day vote
would be reached on the Sutherland
amendment, giving congress control
over the senatorial election.
Senator Rayner of Maryland took
the floor promptly. He gave most of
his attentions to the amendment. In
the main his address was legal in
character and he quoted literally from
decisions of courts to sustain his
views. He contended that even with.
out the Sutherland provision the fed
eral government had the right to pro-
tect voters against fraud or intimIda-
ton. He therefore appealed to the
supporters of the original proposition
not to burden it with any amendment
which, like the pending proposition,
would imperil the success of the reso-
luton itself

for the organization Of combination
on the part of American business men
for the promotion of trade with Latin
American countries, Sen. Elihu Root
of New York Iauded the principle OF
organization in business in an address
today at the closing session of the

He deplored the fact that the opera
ton of a law against the great indus
trial organizations reduced the indus
trial efficiency of the country"
cit is important to break up organi-
zatIons," said Mr.. Root, when they
are monopoIizing the means Of sub
sistance, but there Is one way to
counteract this influence and that is
by substituting organizations on a
sound basis, not violating any law,
but securing the concerted action OF
great number of Americans who have

GREAT INTEREST
IN FOUR. YEAR BILLS
MANY PEOPLE ADVOCATE
CHANGE In TERMS or
STATE AND COUNTY
OFFICIALS.

Bismarck, NJ D., Feb 17.-After
much heralding, the four-year term for
governor and state officials has come
into the legislature in the form of the
three Doyle bills yesterday. Mr..
Doyle seems to have hit the nail on
the head and fills long felt want.
There has been much agitation on this
matter and the measure will have
many adherants.
In his three bills, Mr.. Doyle pro-
vides a four-year term for governor,
and the state officials, to take effect
right away. He further provides that
the offices Of superintendent Of pub
lie instruction. state auditor. attorney
general, insurance commissioner and
two railroad commissioners shall not
become four year jobs until after
1916. This win give half the officials
the opportunity of serving with the
other half only two years, SO that a
complete set win not be elected to
serve the whole four years together.
All these officials are prohibited from
succeeding themselves in consecutive
terms, though the ynlay come back
after a period Of four years.
After 1915, the Doyle bill provides
that the offices OF county auditors.
county judges, registers Of deeds
clerks Of courts, treasurers, sheriffs
and states attorney shall be elected to
tour-year terms. In no way do any
OF these bills apply to the elections OF
the justices OF the supreme court

speedily resolved itself yesterday into
a spirited attack on the record OF
Cong. Otto @. Foelker, the chief wit
ness for the prosecution, were ready
to resume the grilling OF Foelker on
cross examination when the court
opened today.
Gardner is accused of offering Foel-
ker a bribe of $4,000 to vote against
the anti-race track betting bills when
those measures were pending in 1908
In Albany, where Foelker was then
serving as a member OF the state
senate.
Foelker testified yesterday morning
that Gardner had offered bribe.
which was refused. II was expected
that incidents In Foelker's career which
were inquired into to a greater or
less extent yesterday would be probed
more fully by Gardner's counsel dur
ing the continuance of the cross exam

part in the murder of Gina Lien, who.
1t is alleged, was criminaIIy oper-
ated upon by Or. Thor Moeller at the
Leland hotel. DR.. Moeller was twice
found guilty. but secured new trial
after the first convection.
The new trial was secured largely
as a result of the admission of GER
tain testimony OF Paulsrud, trav-
cling man. who testified that Dale told
him about his troubles and his deter
mination to get a doctor to perform
an operation. This testimony was not
introduced In the second trial, but the
