DEMOCRAT MAY WIN
Disagreement in Senate Over
President Pro Tenn.
REPUBLICANS ARE SPLIT
Possibility That Progressives Will
Bolt Gallinger.
WOULD GIVE BACON PLURALITY
Question Brought Up as to Whether
Majority Is Necessary
to Elect.

A democratic president pro tempore OF
the republican Senate is not beyond the
realm of possibil ties.
1t is possible because Of the split IN the
republican ranks, split which became
most pronounced during the making Of
The committee assignments. and which
has broken out again in connection with
the election Of a president pro tempore to
succeed Senator Frye of Name.
Whether or not a democratic senator
VIII be made president pro tempore de-
ponds entirely on the insurgents. If they
stand together. they can force it, and
without uniting with the democrats in the
lection.
At present the Senate is divided as fol-
lows: Thirty-seven regular republicans,
thirteen progressive republicans and
lorty-one democrats.
Suppose the regulars vote for Senator
Gallinger, as they intend: that the in
aIlrSentS vote for Senator Clapp. as is
proposed, and that the democrats vote
for Senator Bacon, as they in end? Mr.
Bacon will get the most votes, and ii a
plurality is to control he would be
elected

Under smiling skies and with entries
OF horses that even surpassed those OF
yesterday, the National Capital Horse
Show began the second day of its first
annual show. So successful has the ex-
hibition been pronounced that not only
will 1t become an annual affair, but it
bids fair to rank second only to the
Madison Square Garden show In New

The greatest jumping class ever shown
here, and perhaps In any ring In this
country, was that In the handicap lump.
There were sixty-tive entries in T. is

the show ring.
he cleared the fence, five feet high
and solid. and crashed blindly into a
second outer rail about twelve feet
away, also surrounding the ring.
Lieut.. Chaffee was thrown over Poppy S
head and landed head first in the cinder
track outside the ring. His face was
streaming with blood when he was
picked up, but aside from the cuts he
suffered no other injury. Lieut.. Gordon
Johnston. also of the 18th Cavalry.
mounted Poppy and took him over the
jumps. making a fair performance,
Tumbles at Turn.
Lieut. Johnston's turn at a tumble came
not long afterward. however He was
riding Duke of Ashley, one of the thor
oughbreds recently purchased by the gov
eminent for the army, and which will be
sent abroad to compete in the interna-
tional military horse show in London. The
horse ran inta the first jump. and. making
a beiated attempt to jump. turned COM

to attack Gennaro Cuoccolo. stabbng him
with dagger, was given chance to-
day to confront his accuser. Gennaro

In accordance with the criminal pro-
cedure of Italy. the alleged principals in
the murder Of Cuoccolo and his wife hav-
ing been separately interrogated. are now.
in turn. being given an opportunity to
stand face TO face with the informer in
open court and to verbally defend them
selves
AS the accuser and accused stood be-
fore the judges bench today Abbatemag
gio recited what he affirms was the part
played by de Gennaro in the tragedy
at Tore del Greco the evening Of June
}, 1906. He said in substance:
Abbatemaggio Accuses de Gennaro.
DE Gennaro was armed with a dag
ger and also carried In Il pocket a kitchen
knife which had been taken surreptitious
~ from the Cuoccolo home. This knife
was later placed in the right hand of
the dead man to give the impression to
those who might discover the body that
Cuoccolo had been slain in duel.
when the assassins, accompanied BY
the unsuspecting Cuoccolo. reached the
spot selected for the murder de Gennaro
suddenly drew his dagger and stabbed
the victim.
"Cuoccolp attempted to defend himself
with a penknife and wounded Corrado
Sortino on the hand, but he was soon
overpowered Nicola Nora also stabbed
him, and Antonio Cerrato struck him
over the head with his cane. When Cuoc-
colo ceased to breathe de Gennaro placed
the kitchen knife in his hand, while 9TH
ers took ring from his finger and from
a pocket latchkey to his apartments
DE Gennaro then went to the inn OF
Mimi Mare to report success of their
mission to Enrico Alamo. while the 9TH
crs proceeded to the CuOccOio home and
murdered Maria Cuoccolo."
Carbineers Support Confession.
Abbatemaggio's confession has been
| supported by the carbineers who claimed
| to have found Cuoccolo's ring at the
| home of woman friend Of one of the
| assassins. This ring. they claim. was to
| have been sent to Luigi Arena, who from
| his prison cell had asked for the death
of Cuoccolo. alleging that the latter had
betrayed him to the authorities
Sortino was found to have a wound on
| his hand as described by the tnformer.
but explained this by saying that he had
| been scratched by q womans hath n
and accidentally cut his hand with sc1s-
sors
| De Gennaro denied every incident of
| the story related, and emphatically pro
| tested his innocence of the crime with
which he is charged Jointly with other
members of the CaInorra. During the
exchanges between the informer and dc

Mistake to Withdraw Ships.

That the withdrawal of the American
naval vessels sent TO visit the Mexican
coast cities was a mistake Is now prl-

become necessary TO again dispatch them

TO spatCh cruisers to that y n and TO
Mazatlan as well. There are a number
OF wdrships at San DIEGO, but the d $
lance from that port TO Acapulco and

the voyage would consume four o. tive
days at least. The State Department
