DIRECT VOTE ADVANCED STEP
Resolution Made Unfinished Business
Through Borah's Efforts.
WINS IN SERIES OF TACTICS
Idaho Senator Demands Roll Cali on
Motion 10 Adjourn and Again ON
Motion for Executive
Session.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.--After a series Of
thrilling experiences Senator Borah, sup
ported by progressive republican and dem
ocratic senators, made tremendous ad-
vances through the lines of old guard re-
publicans and placed the resolution for the
election of senator's by direct vote of the
people in a most advantageous position.
After taking several rebuffs the Idaho
senator, with persistence not often wit
messed in the senate, pounded away until
he landed his resolution in the favored
place on the legislative program and II
must come up every day as unfinished
business.
The moment the Lorimer case was laid
aside Senators Nelson and Borah clamored
for recognition. Vice President Sherman
saw Mr.. Nelson first and gave him the
floor. He moved to take up the bin to reg.
ulate the leasing OF the Alaskan coal lands
whereupon Mr.. Borah promptly moved to
lay that motion on the table which failed
SO I'd A. Most senators thought this settled
the question and that the Borah resolution
had been relegated to a position where IL
would not prove a dangerous factor in the
legislative program during the short period
remaining of the present congress.
After the senate had proceeded with the
Alaskan bill for a short time. Mr. Nelson
gave way to Senator Warren to make a
motion that the senate adjourn over until
Monday.
Mr.. Borah here jumped into the fray
again
BOrnh Demands Roll Call.
He said that ne would object and that
ne did so because It had come apparent
that sena,o.s opposed to his re, oIutlon
would not give consideration to It IL they
could help II. He demanded a roll call on
the motion to adjourn until Monday and
this time he won by a small margin.
Thus encouraged, Mr. Bolah asked that

] that this resolution might be given this
/ prefer ence and Senator Peniose huiriedly
moved an executive $, ssion. Such a mo-
lion, under the rules OF the senate, may
/ be made at any time, and there ore Mr..
| BoTah again found himself elbowed out OF
the way. AS the ex eutive mott IN was be-

NEW ARMoRY
Be Built On Portion of Tracy
 Prcferty on Pleasant Street.

1he new state armory will be built on portion of what is known as the Tracy property on Pleasant street .i.is dieis announcement was made Monday The sit Is just across the footbridve lo the Tight and is an admirable one Tor the purpose for which it is re quj.ed.
 The tract of land was bought from the Tracy heirs by Samuel Chvsbro ana he has agreed upon a satisfactory price with Adiutant General George NJ Cole, representing the state of Con hectie,it. for a piece of land about 300 feet Front and having a depth of ap- pfoXlinately 150 feet. The deeds will De passed within a few days and the llaEs, Wilieh are already made. will be turned over to the successful con tractor and work upon the excavation and construction of the new handsome .s11ilding will be commenced within d snort time. Surveyors were at work on the site Monday
 The site is the best one that the au- thorities could pick in every respect. It is centrally located and is large enough for the big building. The state could not afford. to purchase the entire property from the Tracy heirs. and Mr. Chesbro's part in the transaction making it possible for the state to ac- afInory, IS highly commended.
 Everyone is glad that the question of a site has been settled and the boys Of Company l. are greatly pleased over the prospects of having such an ele- gaf1t home right in the heart of the city. Capt. P. J. r. Sullivan showed untiring interest in the interests of the new arnory, as did Mayor D. P. Dunn, Charles A. Gates, Guilford Smith, to- getl1er with all the Windham county senators and representatives in secur- ing the s50000 appropriation to make the armory a possibility.

FIX ON s2oo.
Selectmen Appoint Michael Moriarty Personal Tax Collector at That Figure.

The board of selectmen held a spe- cial meeting Monday afternoon in the office of the town clerk, as the board of assessors was in session in the se- lectmen's rooms The purpose of the meeting was the appointment of a per senal tax enuTnerator for this year. The matter was discussed for about an hour and then it was voted to ap- point Michael Moriarty of 222 Jackson street. The selectmen further voted t. make the compensation $200. Last year the appointment was given to William A. Costello, and he received $500 for the job. It is the belief of the board that the job did not call for such an expense upon the town and they therefore decided upon the figure first named. The new appointee has long been a resident of the town of Windham and the city of Wi1limantic and has plenty of time to devote to his new position and is well qualified to do the work in a thorough and conscien- tious manner that wfll reflect credit upon himself He has until Jan. 31 to complete his difficult task, which means a careful canvass of the entire town and the securing of all names of men between the ages of 21 and so who are liable for the payment of the per- sonal tax

Why Buy Indigestion?

If you knew how much lard your grocer sells couldn't you tell pretty well how much indigestion there is in the neighborhood? Lard IS made from hog fat and Is often indigestible. It is heav- fer ill your stomach than on the scales Buy Cottolene, however, and you get a vegetable-oil cooking fat that is as pure and wholesome as olive oil. Besides, Cottolene Is more economical than but ter or lard--one-third less being re- quired.
 Remember, Cottolene contains no hog fat; there's. no lard indigestion in food cooked with Cottolene.

DANTE's INFERNO
Depicted in Reels at Bradley Theater Seems to Attract Many Mothers.

All the diabolical ingenuity of Dan te's conception of hell as portrayed in his great literary work has been vis- nalzed in the five reels of motion pie lures that were shown at the special shows at the Bradley the2ter Monday By themselves the pictures are an ex- traordinary achievement in histrionic effort and photography, but what was equally interesting was the effect that they seemed to have on those who saw them. It was a matter of special note that the lobby was filled with baby carriages, filled with them as it has seldom been before but why repro duction in pictures of such q morbid depressing subject as Dante's Inferno should appeal so strongly to such a number of young mothers is something that perhaps only psychologist could explain.
