Colleagues Deprive the Illinois
Scion of Seat by Vote of
SIS to 20.
LONG BATTLE, BITTER AND
FULL OF INDEBTEDNESS
Lines Clearly Drawn Intense
Personal Feelings Enter
Into Contest.

WASHINGTON. July 13.-By
vote of 50 to % Senator Will
liam Lormer, of Illinois, was de
prived of his seat in the United
States senate today.
This judgment of the senate closing
the fight upon Senator Lorimer termi-
mated one of the stoi7niest legislative
days that congressional history has
known. If the first fights made for
and against Lorimer were bitter. this
latest one, which began on the legisla-
tive day of July S, has been even more
vindictive. From the moment that Sen
ator Dillingham; chief of the Lorimer
defenders, began speaking last Satur-
day until the last vote was cast todav
intense personal feeling has at best
been but thinly yelled During his
| speech Lorimer wore tiny American
flag in the buttonhole Of his coat.
Loyalty to Lorimer or opposition to
him were the lines on which the senate
split. None of the score OF speakers
minced his words, and spirited speeches
of condemnation were made by Senator
w Alden Smith. of Michigan; Senator
Luke Lea, of Tennessee; Senator Ken
yon, of Iowa; Senator Reed of Mis-
souri,; Senator Meyers, of Montana.
Under the Lorimer standard gathered
Senator Jones, of Washington, who last
year voted against Lorimer and Sena-
tors Dillingham;, Johnston, McCumber.
Thornton, Fletcher and Smoot
All of these were but forerunners Of
the dramatic climax furnished by Lori
mer himself. Diverging from the lines
taken in his first defense, Senator Lori
mer launched upon long denunciation
of his enemies. who. he claimed, had
conspired against him, and for two
days held the senate by the strength of
his defense.
He completed his statement but
few minutes prior to the vote

GLASS F,:,WNG A FAILURE
Experiments in France Show the Ma
terial Will Not Stand the Traf-
fic in Streets.

Seven or eight years ago a plant
was established at La Demi Lune, a
suburb about four miles from Lyon,
France, for making glass paving ma.
terial under the name of pierre de
verre Garchey." After many expert.
ments carried out at the factory the
manufacturer applied to the Lyon mu
nicipality for the right to make a trial
on one Of the chief thoroughfares.
The necessary authorization was
granted, provided that the inventor
would bear the entire expense of the
undertaking.
The place chosen for laying the
glass pavement was section of the
Place de la Republique, where traffic
of cabs. automobiles and wagons of all
kinds is very heavy The glass bricks
remained in place for less than two
years and were then taken out as they
were in very poor condition. the edges
were all broken. and in many cases
the blocks were split through and
through. The opinion OF officials here
at that time was to the effect that
this glass pavement could be used I'm

Drainage Of the Zuyder Zee,

A great project is again before the
people Of Holland-the draining of the
Zuyder Zee. The sea, which, as every
one knows, Is at the north of Holland
and covers an area of $4,000 hectares,
hectare being practically two acres
and half.
JUST half century ago a scheme to
drain the southern portion Of the sea
was first mooted and although 1t re.
ceived considerable support, the oppo-
sition was greater, but now an asso-
citation has been formed and bill will
be introduced into the chamber. The
promoters see that with an increased
population means must be taken to
enlarge the country and this reclama.
ton of the sea Is suggested as capable
of accomplishment If the sea is con.
quered there are several lakes which
can be dealt with later.

WILL BOND FOR SEED GRAIN
Commissioners of Bowman County
Settled vexatious Question.

Hettinger, N. D., March 1.-The
Bowman county commissioners have
solved the matter of providing seed
grain for farmers who suffered from
last years drought. They appropriate
ed $4,000 with which to buy seed for
destitute farmers, the money to be
raised by $4,000 bond issue and the
issuing Of $4,000 IN grain warrants.
Already they have applications for
$97,563.50 worth of seed, many of the
applications being backed by collateral
security. These will be refused on the
ground that security will enable the
owner to purchase seed elsewhere.
The commissioners will furnish grain
to those in need without collateral and
take mortgage upon the coming crop.

DARING R0BBtR
MADE His ESCAPE

Portal, March 1. Probably the most
daring robbery in the, history Of this
section of the state occurred here at
noon Monday, when an unknown bur-
glar entered the jewelry store of G..
B. Briggs and secured $4,000 in cash
and in addition to a number of second
hand watches. Entrance was gained
to the store by breaking through the
side window, while the proprietor was
at dinner. Occurring during the noon
hour as it did, in broad day light at a
time when there were many people on
the streets and the curtains in the
front windows of the store raised, the
robbery is considered one of the bold
est in the annals of this section of the
state. Just how the fellow could so
successfully conceal his work and
then make his escape is mystery.
No clue has been obtained as to the
identity of the guilty party.

YEARLY PAPER OF ALASKA
Publication of the Eskimo Bulletin is
Evidence Of Progress Of Twenty
Years.

# In the bad old days the masters of
the whaling vessels sailing from San
Francisco to the far north used to
give the Alaskan Eskimos raw "fire
water" in order to secure the valuable
furs they had obtained during the long
arctic winter. Little they dreamed
that these fierce children of the north
would one day be so advanced as to
print their own newspaper, writer in
the Wide World exclaims. After the
terrible slaughter by the whalers Of
the alcohol frenzied natives of Cape
Prince of Wales, in Boring strait, 1t
was a rather ticklish job for white
man to start a Bible class. Still, H.
A. Thornton attempted 1t, but he was
shot dead by boy of fourteen, who
was killed in his turn by his own
kinsman. This affair happened in
1890. Two years after W. T. Lopp ap'
peared on the scene with his wife.
They settled at Cape Prince of Wales,
and year after year, until 1903, they
taught humanity to the Eskimos. The
reindeer was introduced from Siberia
and Mr.. Lopp got his pupils to learn
to rear the herds. He also taught
them boat building, carpentering, etc.
and, to put final touch to his valua
BE work, he had small press brought
from the states, and 1t was not long
after that his pupils were able to com
pose and print their own paper. This
