d.v or at least until after the vote on

day or at least until after the vote on
the Lorimer case had been taken.
Day after day there had been expec-
taticn that a vote might be reached,
but not until today was there certain
ty. That the senate had agreed
there should be a vote without debate
left no doubt in the public mind that
the hour mentioned would be the con-
clusion OF the case that for so long
held chief place of the senate board.
Lorimer Hears Beverdge Speech.
At II O'Clock the senate had an eX-
ceptionally full attendance of members
and a general air of expectancy pre-
vailed in the chamber. Most, but not
all, Of the senators appeared anxious
to expedite business with view OF
getting up to the Lorimer case at the
first possible moment. Senator Stone
was an exception. He insisted on the
full reading of the journal of yester-
day and upon the most minute atten-
ton to all details.
On the conclusion of routine busi-
ness. Senator Owen Of Oklahoma Sc
cured the floor and began speech in
opposition to Mr. Lorimer. The Hi
nois senator was among the members
on the floor while Mr.. Owen was speak
ing. He occupied chair against the
wall of the chamber and appeared to
be giving the closest attention to the
speech. Outwardly there was no in
dication of any unusual excitement and
Mr.. Lorimer appeared quite as cool
and calm rs he had been through the
protracted days upon his case.
Before Mr.. Owen began his speech
Mr.. Beveridge had shown disposition
to hasten rather than impede proceed
ure. He refused to permit the trans
action Of any other than necessary
business. -.
81 am sorry for William Lorimer"
said Senator Owen impressively as
he took the floor Extending his SYM
nathy for the Illinois senator, Mr.
owen still maintained that a stain had
been placed upon his good name by
the manner of his election to the SEN
ate. There had been corruption and
bribery in that occurrence, contended
the oklahoma senator, and he said 1t
was impossible not to believe Lor1mer
had not known what was transpiring.

GRACE PRESBYTERIAN
 WINS FIRST PRIZE

The awards of premiums to the nina ture church bazars, which are one of the most attractive features of the woman's department of the Alabama State Fair. were made yesterday. The awards first gave the first premium to the Ensiey Baptist church, but this was later found to be an error and the prize was award ed to the Grace Presbyterian church. Un- der the rules of the contest the award was made on points, percentage being given for general arrangement beauty .of exhibits, fancy work and other. fea- lures. The booths were designated by letter so the judges were unaware as to the exhibitor of the booth. In adding up the figures an error was made which gave the Baptist ladies the first place and the Presbyterians fifth. EF
 The error was discovered later and the mistake rectified which placed Grace Presbyterian in the first place The judges deplore the error and the disappointment of the Baptist ladies, but feel that 1t was but matter of justice to correct the mistake and award the premium 10 the church who had actually the largest number of points.

 GOOD PROGRESS Reaches Kansas City in His Trans-COntinental Flight ROUTE IS ANNOUNCED Hugh Robinson Announces That He Is an Aspirant for Long Distance
 Record Which Is Now
 Held by Rodgers
ROUTE IS ANNOUNCED

Kansas City, Mo-, October 11-C. F. Rodgers, transcontinental aviator, is spending the night at overland Park, nine miles southwest of here, after having flown 14S2 miles from his starting point fin New York.
 Arriving here the aviator again took the air at 4:25 o'clock this afternoon, sailing from his original landing place in Swope park to the aviation field at Overland park.
 Rodgers will remain there until Fri day in order to adjust his engine. He then will resume his flight to the Pa cifc coast. He began his flight today at Marshall, S4 miles from Kansas City, at SPA o'clock this morning. He was forced to descend at Blue Ridge Springs his magneto. The aviator lost an hour there and, arising at 10:5o o'clock, he came to Kansas City
 After a luncheon at the Evanston Coli club, Rodgers decided upon another flight that to Overland park. Getting away from Swope park, he flew to the south, but the sun blinded him and, without knowing it, he turned toward the west.
 Before he realized it Rodgers was lost in the clouds. He sailed more than z miles westward out of his course before he finally got his bearings.
 Rodgers will take the tracks of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad to San Antonio when he starts on Friday The aviator will follow the Southern Pa cific railroad to California thereby avoid ing Colorado air conditions, which. ac- cording to the aviator, are undesirable.

BELIEVE WATCHMAN
 FATALLY WOUNDED
M. J. Robertson Accidently Shoots Himself at
 Mulberry

M J. Robertson, night watchman for the Marble Lumber company, Mulberry, Ala, accidentally dropped his gun last night about o'clock while working at the plant and shot himself in the ab- domen just above the right hip. He was brought to Birmingham on the 1145 train over the Louisville and Nashville railroad last night and taken to St. Vincent's hos pital by Shaw and Son. The hospital re- ported after a careful examination this morning that the wound is very serious and will probably result fatally
 Little Is known of the accident. The ball was a ,32 calibre steel bullet. MT. Robertson's duties are such, it is claim ed, that he was compelled to carry gun with him. The revolver was carried in shoulder holster and it is believed that while climbing about somewhere the gun dropped from the watchman's holster and the accident resulted.
 The wounded man was first attended by pr. c. C.. Wiley who then brought him 10 Birmingham. He was rushed from the train to the hospital and operated upon by pr. Wilson of St. Vincent's hospital.
