DEMOCRATS WON.
FIRST SAIRNISH
FIGHT OVER PRESIDENTS AP-
POINTNIENTS STARTS on
FLOOR OF SENATE.
executive session fails
VIII Renew Effort to Confirm Ap-
pointccs in the Senate at Every
Opportunity.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The long
threatened fight in the senate over
confirmation of President Taft's NOM
nations for office broke on the floor
of the senate today and in the first
skirmish the democrats were success
ful In preventing an executive ses-
sion demanded by Senator Cullom
(republlcan). The results Of the en-
counter were uncertain tonight but
the republicans threaten to continue
efforts tomorrow to secure an exc
cutive session for action on the scores
Of appointments now pending.
A democratic caucus early in the
day, in which the democrats agreed
to permit the confirmation only Of
army and navy appointments paved
the way for the fight on the floor. In
the midst Of a speech by Senator
Hoke Smith Of Georgia, Senator Cul-
! lom. representing the republican
forces, who refused to accept the ul-
timatum OF the democrats, made a
demand for a neXecutive session. The
motion, rushing out into the cloak
rooms on the roll call to break a
quorum and succeeded in delaying ac-
ton utnll the court of impeachment
convened for the Archibald trial Re-
publican leaders said tonight they
would continue to demand that all
appointments be treated in executive
session on their merits.
We are not going to let the re
publicans put us in a corner wlthou
warming" said Senator Hoke Smith
The president has dumped upon u
the nominations which have beer
accommodating for the past six months
We have a committee making an In
vestigation of them but there arr
hundreds OF them and we have not
been able to procure the information
necessary to enable us to act upon
them intelligently. We are willing
to take the responsibility IL that T.
wanted. The democrats are anxious
for the confirmation Of the army and
navy nominations. ] have prepared
a motion for an executive session for
action only upon those appointments,
which I will offer as a substitute for
any motion the republicans may
make"
on the basis of figures they have
compiled from the records republl-
can leaders are claiming that their
democratic colleagues are violating
all precedents in holding up the nom
nations Of President Taft. During
the final sessions Of the Arthur. Har-
rison and the two Cleveland admins
trations. they cite figures to show the
bulk OF the nominations were given
approval by the senate.
"The figures show what the prece-
dents In American history are" said
Senator Smoot Of Utah. THE repub-
llcans are not attempting to have
confirmed officials whose terms ex-
pire after the new administration be-
gins. They are insisting that the SEN
ate follow the custom and confirm
nominations to fill places where COM
missions have expired or which will
become vacant before the Taft ad-
ministration Is ended"

only against the laws Of the land, but
they committed a crime against their

More money at the rate Of $1,000 a
month was taken illegally from the
funds of the iron workers union so
that Mcnamara might carry on the
dynamitings and another $1,000 was
sent by Mcnamara to Tveitmoe. The
laws of the union show that these Of

VIII Accept Chair OF Law at
Yale.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1s.-President
Taft has made up his mind to accept
the proffer OF the Kent professorship
OF law at Yale and probably will take
up his duties at New Haven early

tonight to have determined upon ac-
cepting the Yale professorship for
several reasons. He will not be re-
stricted merely to lectures to Yale
students but will be permitted to lec-
ture II he desires. in other law
schools or upon the platform, or TO
engage in any other occupation which
he sees fit.
The analogy between the Yale pro-
fessorship and Grover Cleveland's re-
lation with Princeton appealed to Mr..
Taft strongly and when many Of his
close friends and advisers wrote to
him approving his acceptance OF the
chair at Yale, he decided to take II.
The president expects to spend sew
eral weeks after March in Augusta,
Ga. where he has passed two winter
vacations.

FIELD OF INVESTIGATION.

Considerable literature of the pres
ent day is the direct product OF brains
working under the influence OF spirits
and drugs" says DR.. T. ID. Crothers,
writing in the Lancet and Clinic.
Study of the effects OF alcohol and
other narcotics upon the Drain, he tells
US, reveals the fact that books and
articles written under the influence OF
spirituous liquors have certain marked
characteristics; written Under the In
fiuence of beer they show certain 9th.
er peculiarities; written under the in.
huence of cocaine they have still an.
other distinctive literary style. The
writer who depends upon alcohol for
inspiration" says the doctor. "uncon.
%sciously writes down the evidence OF
the spirits he is using and their sin.
gular influence on his brain"
