SENATOR BORAH AGGRESSIVE
THE IDAHO STATESMAN WINS
NOTABLE VICTORY ON
TEST VOTE
HAS A SLIGHT MAJORITY
OLD GUARD IN CONGRESS SUF-
FERs MOST SERIOUS SET
BACK OF SESSION

Washing on, Feb. 4.-After series
of thrilling experiences, Senator
Borah, supported by progressive re-
publicans and democrats, has made
tremendous advances through the
lines of the old guard republicans and
placed the resolution for the popular
election of senators in a most ad-
vantageous position squarely in front
of the enemy's goal.
After taking several rebuffs the
Idaho senator pounded away until
he landed his resolution in the fay-
ored place on the legislative program
and it must come up every day as the
unfinished business.
The moment the Lorimer case was
laid aside, late yesterday, Senators
Nelson and Borah clamored for recog.
milton. Vice-President Sherman saw
Mr.. Nelson first and gave him the
floor. He moved to take up the bill
~ At6 uAdte lAt lSd6AnE5 VI AlttS htt
coal lands. whereupon Mr.. Borah
promptly moved to lay that motion
on the table The move failed SO to
IL
Most senators thought this settled
the question and that the Borah reso-
luton had been successfully relegated
to a position where it would not prove
dangerous factor in the Legislative
program during the short time re-
naming of the congress.
After the senate had proceeded
with the Alaskan bill for a short time,
Mr. Nelson gave way to Senator War
ren to make a motion that the senate
adjourn until Monday. Mr.. Borah
here jumped into the frag again. He
said he would object, and that he did
so because it had become apparent
that senators opposed to his resolu-
tion would not give consideration to
if it they could help it. He demanded
a roll call on the motion to adjourn
until Monday and this time he won
by a small margin.
Thus encouraged, Mr. Borah asked
that his resolution be made the un.
finished business of the senate.
From the previous roll call, it ap-
peared that this resolution might be
given this preference, and Senator
Penrose hurriedly moved an executive
session Such a motion may be made
at any time and therefore Mr.. Borah
again found himself elbowed out OF
the way AS the executive motion
was being put to the senate, Mr.
Borah demanded roll call, secured
a sufficient number of seconds and
the call was ordered.
On what was regarded the most
significant vote of the day, the eX'
ecutive session was denied SO to 40

AS no request from the Mexican
government to permit the passage OF

province of Sonora to Juarez IN

here are inclined to believe such per

thought the present Mexican govern

Ell Paso, Tex, Feb. 4.-The Damo-
clean sword of insurrection is still
suspended over the city of JLarez.
[ust when General Pascual Orozco and
lis followers will cut the thread is
. ,+tae iaaefinitss. but 1T is very def
mite indeed that the attack OF toe
young Revolutionary leader on the
border city. which he says he intends
making the provisional capital OF
Mexico. will not long be delayeu.
Official notice of the intended at
tack reached the American consul al
1O:SO o'clock last night, AMI resulted
in another exodus from the town
American Consul Edwards posted a
notice this morning, saying General
Orozco's attack could be expected I'M
mediately and asking that all Ameri-
cans and all foreigners and non-com'
batants leave the town at once. Cour-
iers from Orozcos main CANT about
ten miles from Juarez, say he is
awaiting reinforcements.
United States troops this morning
arrested six rurales between Fort
Hancock and the Rio Grande river
The prisoners said they had prusL
with a large body of insurrectos ano
took refuge in Texas. This bears
out the statement that Orozco is ex'
pecting reinforcements from the east
as well as from the south. Juarez
too, is looking for reinforcements 1oi
the beleaguered garrison, but the
revolutionists say, they may look FOL
none from the south, where Colonel
Robago and his shattered command
is located. The revolutionist leader
told friends last night he intended
to make Juarez the capital of Mexico
and. rallying all his followers there
start a march south against Ch1hua
hua CITY and ultimately against Mex
leo City, itself.
It was learned today that the gar
rison at Juarez is to make a STAND
even in the face of overwhelmln;
odds, which means that a sharp tigh
will take place within the confines
of the town. 1t is said that numer
Gus secret mines have been plante'
about the town and in houses, whlcl
it is planned to set off when tn
enemy invades the town, IN an al
tempt to annihilate the attacKlni
force, or to so terrorize the rebel
as to cause them to retreat. The III
most secrecy was maintained i
/ planting these mines and 1t IS NO
known just where they are, althoug
it is said that the customs house an
other government buildings are thu
protected. There is no artillery l
Juarez, so the enemy cannot b
shelled as it approaches. On the othe
hand, General Orozco is said to hav
two field pieces and three Gatlin
guns. w.

Red Tape and Matrimony.

Some Of the reasons why a French.
man may not marry are given by a
correspondent of a Parts newspaper
He has been trying to get married for
three years and has not get succeeded.
French marriage law is a tricky thing
to deal with. If the prospective bride
groom has not lived more than six
months at his address at the time Of
the marriage he must get a certificate
signed by the landlord and concierge
Of every house where he has lived pre-
viously till he gets back to one where
he did live for six months. Birth GER
tificates are required and the written
consent of parents.
AS no paper must bear date more
than two months old, it often happens
that the marriage must be postponed
to get the papers renewed. The man
who had been foiled for three years
once succeeded in making all his pa
pers correct. when he was called up
for his periodical term of military
service, and this threw his papers out
of date.
Another time he arrived before the
mayor with his bride, but the cere.
mony was not performed, as certif-
fcate of his first wife's death was NOT
forthcoming.

John Is his name, and he lives in
Newburg. Further personal details
are not necessary. Now, John has a
wife who IL not as charitable as she
might be, and she has woman friend
who has domestic troubles of her own
and therefore can and does sympathiZc
with Johns wife. Just what time it
was when John came in the other
morning deponent knoweth not, but
certainly 1t was no sort of time for a
married man to be getting home, and
his wife told him so, though he knew
it perfectly well without being told.
Next morning after John had gone to
his office his wife called up the other
woman on the telephone and told
about John. The other woman was all
sympathy, and what the two had to
say about the kind of husband John
was was more than plenty. In the
thick of 1t a friend of Johns got on the
wire-not Intentionally, of course, for
he thought John was a model, but he
got there, and it sounded good enough
to him to stay and listen. But not
for long. Presently he coughed, and
there was sudden silence.
"Who's that?" inquired Johns wife.
"It's john" responded the friend
and hung up the receiver.-New York

ODD USE FOR BREAD.
Watch Factory Uses Forty 2-POund
Loaves a Day.

Perhaps the most novel use to
which Tread is put may be seen in
the great factories of the Elgin Ma
t'oual Watch Company at Elgin, H.,
where more than forty loaves of
fresh bread are required each day.
Slpt. George e. Hunter of the watch
factory, is qroted as saying:
There is no secret regarding tie
1se of bread in this factory. and I
am willing to tell all l can conc y
nr it. From the earliest times in
TIE history of watch making it as
been the custom of matchmaker 10
reduce fresh bread to the forr Of
dough. This is done by the stoaNl-
lng and kneading. They then Sc
this dough for removing oil I'd
chips that naturally adhere, in the
course of manufactures, to pieces rs
small as part of a watch. There
are many parts of watch that are
so small as to be barely visible to the
naked eye. The oil is absorbed by
this dough and the chips stick to it,
and there Is no other known SUBJ
stance which can be used as a wiper
without leaving some of its particles
attached to the thing wiped. This
accounts for the continued use of
bread dough in the matchmaking in-
dustry. The Elgln National Watch
Case Company uses something over
40 2-pound loaves a day, or about
$4,000 pounds a year.-American
Food Journal.

a Dinner Mishap.

Dreadful was the embarrassment of
a debutante who was pushed so Wig,
orously under the table at her first
dinner that she spilled claret from
every glass at the table.
The hostess took It well. though she
could doubtless have murdered the
girls dinner partner, but she heaved
a sigh for her best tablecloth, for clarel
makes bad stain.
The man redeemed his fault by quiet
ly rubbing the spot in fyont of his
place with salt until it almost entirely
disappeared. His partners attention
attracted, she, too, started a salt rub
Soon all the guests at the table were
laughingly doing the same until by
the end of the dinner scarcely n trace
could be found of the spilled wine.

What's In a Name2

The late king of Siam had for full
name Phra Bat Somdeth Phra Para

Ia Chum Klo Chow Yu Hua, and this
does not include his titles. A wag in
Bombay saw it in the paper when the
ruler was visiting that city and was
being received by the British officials
and passed it over to a young Irish
subaltern with the challenge that he
pronounce it. The young fellow look
ed at it moment and then handed it
back He said he was not long enough
winded, but he was sure he could play
it on the garrison club piano if the in
strument were a couple of octaves
longer. The kings uncle, however,
who was also prince high priest, had
for one name alone the following col

This is but a variation of the old
game of hickory, dickory dock, but
it will amuse small children by the
hour and teach them to count at the
same time.
Take a piece of thin board or heavy
cardboard about twenty inches square.
On it draw a circle eighteen inches in
diameter and divide it into twelve
sections, numbering them like the
hours of a clock. Make a small top
from half a spool and spin it in the
center of the circle. The number Of
the section in which the top stops in
dicates the amount scored by the play
er. Any score from 80 to 200 may be
decided on, and the player who first
reaches this amount has won the
game.

A Nursery Note.

"Toddler" is an autocrat and a mis-
chievous one. To keep him amused,
says an ingenious mother, | have pre-
sented him with a piece of chalk
(white, as he still investigates by
means of his mouth) and have made a
dado on the wall with brown paper.
Three smooth new sheets cost next to
nothing, but held in place by drawing
pins they form a wide space on which
the boy can develop his artistic facul-
ty. En- passant, he is amused and l
am at liberty, the price of further lib
erty being fresh paper now and again.
