Senator RaYner Dies.

Senator IsidOr Rayner, of Maryland,
one of the leading Democratic mem.
bers of the United States senate and
man whose name was offered to the
Baltimore convention by William ].
Bryan as a suitable compromise can
didate for the presidential nomination,
died in Washington of neuritis.
Senator Rayner had been in a seri-
GUS condition for about six weeks and
had been in a cOmatOse condition for
the most part since last Wednesday.
The control of the United States
senate after March may hinge on
the death of Senator Rayner. The Re-
publican whom it is expected Cover
nor Goldsborough, of Maryland, will
appoint in his place will hold Office at
least until the Maryland legislature
meets in January, 1914, when Demo
crat probably will be elected.
Mr.. Rayner's death removes one of
the Democrats on whom the control Of
the senate depended in the new con-
gress. With his vote the Democratic
leaders counted on mastering forty
nine, or one more than a majority OF
the total membership of ninety-six. In
any event, forty-eight votes, with the
vote of the vice president in case of a
tie, was looked upon as suficien
strength to insure control While ;hr

Lecturer Averts Panic.

A panic in a moving picture thea
ter in Lancaster, Pa, was averted by
the cleverness of a lecturer who was
describing Homer's Odyssey" to a
crowded house.
In the midst Of his talk he noticed
smoke issuing from a side wall and,
signalling to the operator, the latter
stopped his machine and turned on
the lights.
The lecturer, Captain Clark, an
nounced that, owing to break in the
film he would ask the audience to
leave while the repairs were being
made. Nearly all had left quietly when
a woman noticed the flames and ut.
tered a cry Of Fire."
Those remaining fed precipitately,
but no one was hurt. BY the time the
house was emptied chemical wagon
arrived and the fire was soon extin
gulshed. The blaze started from a de-
fectiVe hue.

Senator Hitchcock has announced that
he would be willing to accept 9 nominal
