Senate Opinion Is Split.

among senator's over Gov. O'Nears an
election to fill the vacancy caused by the
sudden death here OF Senator Joseph F.
Johnston of Alabama. Some take the
view that the governor, acting upon the
advice of Attorney General McReynolds,
is within his powers in calling special
election; others challenge his right to
do SO.
Senator Kern and Senator John Sharp
Williams approved the opinion OF the
governor and Attorney General
Bacon Holds Opposite View.
Senator Bacon, the only member of the
Senate who has been elected by the di-
rect election system. takes the position
that the governor will exceed his power
IL he issues the writ for a special cleo
ton.
Senator's Root and Sutherland, in the
Maryland senatorial case, took the po-
sition that the governor could not call a
special election to fill the vacancy until
the legislature had provided regulations
In accordance with the new amendment
A contest is expected IL a senator pre-
sents himself from Alabama elected al
such special election as Gov O'Nea
The Alabama case will act as a prece-
dent for the Maryland election where the
governor has issued a call for a special
election without the legislature having
authorized him to do SO since the enact
ment of the seventeenth amendment
Expects to Hold Majority.
Chairman Simmons of the finance
committee said yesterday that while the
death of Johnston reduced the demo-
cratic majority on the tariff bill to one,
he felt no apprehension over the pas
sage of the bill. He said that he be-
lieved, however, another senator from
Alabama would be sent to Washington
before final action is taken on the bill.
Chairman of Military Affairs.
Senator Johnston was chairman of
the military affairs committee. This
assignment. always important, is dou-
bly, important in view of the critical
Mexican situation. Senator Chamber
lain Of Oregon is the ranking member,
but he is chairman of the committee on
public lands. position he is not
anxious to give up.
The next member in rank is Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska. Between these
two men lies the craftsmanship Of the
committee. Senator Johnston's other
committee assignments were not such
as to disturb the equilibrium of any of
the committees.

The new Pulitzer School of Journal
Ism at Columbia university is not to
be thrown open to women, 1t has been
decided, but the reason given is the
broader ground of the university pol
Icy that does not admit women to
courses, rather than the narrow prin-
ciple OF feminine unfitness for the vo-
cation n question, says the Philadel-
phia Ledger. Some women have bril-
l1antly succeeded as newsgatherers; a
certain conscientious persistency unit
ed to the quality of human sympathy
has enabled them to find their way
where man might prove mere i'm
patient trespasser. Both in this coun-
try and abroad there have been fem
mime editors who have neither sought
nor required indulgence because they
were not men. On the whole, the ed
itorial rather than the reportorial ca
pacity seems better adapted to the
womanly natures of delicate suscep-
Utilities and refinement But women
have succeeded both as reporters and
as editors

OFFICIAL ELECTION FIGURES,

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.--With the
New York the last OF the states has
finished the work of counting the
votes cast at the presidential cleo

presidency and the popular opinion
that an enormous vote would be
brought out by the triangular con
test between Wilson, Taft and
Roosevelt, the figures of the nation

surprises.
The total vote in 1912-15, 041 $3.50

total vote of four years ago.
President-elect Wilson's total vote
Il, 1893, 063-is 1O4,919 less than the
vote for Bryan in 1908 1t is also
noteworthy that the combined vote
for Taft and Roosevelt fell a little
when he was first presidential can
short of the vote cast for Taft alone

The total vote cast last month by
the two divisions of the Republican
party was 7,6OS,O93 which was 60,

RADIUM In HUMAN RODY3

In his investigation of the radioac-
tfvity of the organs of the human
body, DR. Albert Caan of Heidelberg
has examined Al organs from Is diff
ferent persons, and every one of them
contained some substance that made
the air electrically conductive, as
shown by the Bercker emanometer
1t was concluded that this substance
must be radioactive. though possibly
not radium itself The brain, and
also the lungs, proved very active; but
the heart and liver were less so, and
the Kidneys and spleen showed only
slight activity. The radioactive sub
stance seemed to increase with age
and in disease Little effect was
shown from such conditions as social
position. occupation or manner of liv-
Ing, and even locality of living was
un1mportant. Radioactive substances
the effect of which on the vital &C
t1v1ty of the body cells remains to
be learned-might come from food
and drink, or from the air. The test
Ing emanometer includes a receptacle
for the ashes of about 100 grains of
the organ under test, and this is con-
nected by electric wires and a rubber
tube to wire electrometer-with a
microscope for fine readings-in the
circuit of storage battery.

A Chicago judge has decreed that a
married man should either stay at
home nights or take his wife out with
him, and adds that neglect of wives
Is at the bottom of most domestic un-
happiness. After hearing the argu-
ments advanced on various phases Of
the woman question, it will not be re-
markable If some shocked critics of
this bold judicial defender of woman's
rights hold the doctrine that mar
ried woman has as much right to have
fun as a married man Is socialistic,
not to say revolutionary, and is calcu-
lated to break up the homes of the ma
ton.
