ALL THE EFFORTS TO REACH AN
AGREEMENT $EEM TO BE
IN VAIN.
ALL NIGHT SESSION WAS HELD
The Grim Determination of Two Pow
erful Men Block Action-BiIIs
Likely to Fail.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb. 2S.-All night
long the United States senate strug-
gled with the Lorimer case. Senator
Crawford spoke eight hours on it.
Recess was taken at eight o'clock this
morning to eleven o'clock. After re-
convening, it was stated that all ef-
forts to reach an agreement had failed
and the legislative day of February
27th was adjourned.
1t is now believed that many i'm
portant legislative questions, includ-
ing several appropriation bills, will
fail
The grim determination of two pow
erful members of the senate to force
a vote upon the pending measure dear
est to the heart of each threw that
body into its first night session of the
! congress. The senators were Bailey
and Cummins. The measures were
the LOrimer, resolution and the per-
manent tariff board bill
Senator Bailey wanted a time-some
time, any time-fixed for a vote on
the Lorimer case.
Senator Cummins wanted the same
thing for the tariff board bill, and ap-
parently he wanted it just as much as
the Texan wanted Lorimer vote.
1T will be a test of endurance" said
the Texan, and the Iowan appeared
quite content TO pit his powers against
those of the leader of the Lorimer
forces. :
A motion was made by
Senator Hale to take a re-
cess until S O'Clock Monday. SEN
ator Bailey was willing. if time for
a Lorimer vote could be fixed. Sena-
tor Cummins objected, and barred his
heart that the senators might see how
dear it was to the tariff board plan.
But the Texan was obdurate, for he
too was cherishing a hope-a hope
that Lorimer might be declared py
this senate to be entitled to his seat.
So into night session the body went,
but with a new presiding officer.
! Vice President Sherman had busi-
ness elsewhere. Gaming Senator
Kean. of New Jersey, to the chair, the
vice president started for his home in
some haste. There was a reason. He
had invited the members of the senate
to meet the diplomatic residents.
Shortly after one O'Clock today the
Lorimer case was again taken up by
the senate and Senator Stone of Mis-
souri, began his speech. A vote may
be reached this afternoon.

CAN'T DECIDE
GIRLS COLOR
Further Tests to be Made-BaItimor
Case Proving to be
Puzzle.

Baltimore, Feb. 2S.-Science will be
asked to make further examination
of Luella Leftridge, the elevep-year
old girl who is making a fight for her
release from negro institution in
which she has been kept for nearly
seven years, alleging that she is white.
The statement made yesterday by
DR.. John Whitridge Williams, after an
examination at the Johns Hopkins
Hospital, that the finding of a color
line on one of the girls finger nails
raises no doubt as to her ancestry is
not taken by the defense as conclu-
sive, and attempts will be made at the
hearing on the writ of habeas corpus
before Judge Niles next Monday to
introduce testimony of a contrary ma
ture.
Luella Leftridge and her sister,
Elizabeth were placed in St. Eliza
beths Home for Colored Children
about seven years ago. Elizabeth
Leftridge left the institution when she
was fifteen years old. She is now
nineteen and has been trying ever
since she reached the age of eighteen
| to obtain her sisters liberty from
the home, asserting that there is no
negro blood in her veins.
According to Attorney Joseph, who
has made study of medical jurispru-
dence, physicians depend on physical
characteristics to determine the pres
ence of negro blood. They are %
a blush tint of the part of the eye
known as the sclera; (2) pigmenta-
tion, or colQring; (3) dark lines on the
finger nails around the half moons; :"
(4) curliness of the hair, indicating
what is commonly known as kinky
hair
Some of the characteristics, said
Attorney Joseph, that are held to be
important by certain authorities are
overlooked altogether by others. And
Inen IHeIe are SOule eminent pnySl-
| clans who assert that the whole meth
cd is theoretical, and has no practical
value at all.
DR.. Williams got negative results
from all the tests except a dark line
around the half moon," which he said
was not extensive, but only raised a
suspicion of the girls ancestry.
Attorney Joseph, who is represent
ing the girl, said this morning that
the attempt of the authorities of the
home to prove that her father was a
negro will be combatted by the testi-
mony of Elizabeth Leftridge.
Elizabeth Leftridge asserts" said
Attorney Joseph, that she remem-
bers her father, and that he was white.
She says that he was a miner in one
of the mines near Pittsburg, Pa. When
the girls were brought to this city
and placed in st. Elizabeth's Home,
their names were changed to Fletch-
er, which act seems to be an effort
to hide their identity. We expect to
hproduce physicians who will testify
that the methods used are simply theo
retical and of no practical value"
