SENATE VACANCY
 EMBARRASSING TO DEMOCRATS
Made by Death of Senator Joseph F.
 Johnston of Alabama

Washington, Aug S-The death early today of United States Senator Jos F. Johnson of Alibana, who succun bed to pneumonia at his home here. left a vacancy in the senate that is some what embarrassing to the democratic majority oR the verge of the Ncomple- ton of the administration tariff pro- gramme and makes necessary an i'm mediate interpretation of provisions of the seventeenth constitutional amend ment requiring direct election of sen ators
 Though Senator Johnson's death re- duces the working democratic matori- ty in the senate of five, by reason of defectioas from the ranks on account of the sugar schedule, the majority on the tariff bill Is reduced to one and leaves the party in 8 dangerous po- sltIon should any other emergency arise. In view of this democrats of the senate insist that the vacancy must be filled as soon as possible and to this end the governor of AlibaIna and the legislature of the state will be called upon to act under the terms of the constitutional amendment
 It was the unanimous conclusion after an informal conference of senate democrats that the Alabama legisla- ture must be called in special session before Governor O'Neai can do any thing about filling the vacancy. The legislature then may authorize him under the terms of the seventh amend ment. to appoint a successor ad in terim and it may also provide the ma chinery for special election to choose a new senator to serve for the term beginning March 4, 1915.
 Several candidates for the appoint ment if such a course is decided upon rather than an immediate election. rave been suggested here today. among them Congressman Richmond P. Hobson, Henry D.

Senators See All Hopes of Early Passage of This important Measure Going GImmering

Ten Schedules Remain be Considered-Biggest Fight by the Minority Coming Upon Wool Sugar and Agricul- tura Schedues-Death of Senator Johnson of Alabama Has Left Democrats with Only One Majority

cles in each which will be taken up when the bill gets to the senate prop CT from committee. There remains to be considered ten schedules, among them the three upon which there will be the most vigorous attacks by the minority, namely, the wool, sugar and agricultural schedules. The minori- ty is making complete tariff record and shows no sign of letting up on amendments
 The death of Senator Johnson of Alabama has reduced the democratic majority on the bill to one vote, as the Louisiana senators having determined to vote against it because of the free sugar provision This slender ma jority has given rise to hopes in re publican breasts that they may be able to put through an amendment to the wool or sugar schedules
 The switch of one democratic vote more would turn the trick Demo cratic senate leaders insist, however, that the 4S votes they have will stand firmly against any republican amend ments- The sugar schedule is the next te be taken up and discussion of it probably will begin tomorrow
