not feel able to stand this drain

be ample grounds for this feel

caucus is to be resumed. 1t Is ex-
pected that Senator Bacon will be
elected pro tempore; but there are
many active candidates for the posi-
tions of secretary and sergeant-at-
arms.
While the democrats were In ses-
sion, the republican steering commit
tee consisting of Senators Lodge,
Warren, Nelson, Penrose. Smoot, La
Toilette, Brandegee, Smith (Michi-
gam, Crawford, Jones and Fall, met
in Senator Lodges office and can
vassed the committee lists to deter
mine what position they would ask
for. A delegation consisting of Sen
ators Nelson and Smoot was sent
over to the democratic caucus to
learn what arrangements the demo-
Gratis intended to make about giving
minority places to the republicans,
but no plan had been agreed upon by
the democrats.
1t is expected that the democratic
plans for many committees will not
be completed for some time. The
active leaders of the progressive
forces are insistent that the places
upon the important committees shall
be distributed evenly among all demo-
ocrats and the work of organization
is to be pursued slowly.

Discovers Foe of Fruit Pest.

HONOLULU, Mar. 7.-Dr. Silvestr
an entomologist, sent by the Hawaiian
territorial board of agriculture to
search in different parts of the world
for parasite to destroy the fruit
pest known as the Mediterranean fly,
has cabled from Cape Town, South
Africa, that he had found it in the
West African jungle and that he would
bring it here at once via Australia.
For years the Mediterranean ny has
been blight upon the fruit indus
try of Hawaii. All shipments of fruits
to American ports are prohibited by
strict quarantine laws, for fear that
the pest would come to the mainland.
The search for an effective parasite
has been general for years.

NEW YORK, Mar. 7.-"You may
go home, get another taxicab, go out
and kill somebody else" Judge Foster
of the general sessions court told Leon
Gerard, a taxicab driver, acquitted OF
murder yesterday afternoon. 1.-THE
jury has given you permission to do
so.
"Gentlemen," continued the court,
addressing the jury, which had just
given it's verdict, you seem to think
that a drunken chauffer can run
recklessly with his machine through
the streets and go unpunished. At
least that is what you say by your
verdict. But in this case your state
of mind, in order to reach that verdict,
can best be described as the peace of
heaven that passeth all understand
ing"
Gerard was indicted for the murder
of Mrs. Mary Dithridge, a cousin of
District Attorney Whitman, whom he
ran down last April.

Dead Bodies as Targets.

ST. LOUIS, Mar. IA deposition
of Dr. H. G. Reinhardt, coroner's ply
sician. read in the circuit court here
yesterday, stated that corpses in the
county morgue at Chicago are used as
shooting targets to obtain evidence OF
expert witnesses.
The deposition was read in the trial
of the suit against an accident insur-
ance company, which was brought by
the widow of Ira G. Rawn, late presf-
dent of the Monon railroad. The ac-
cident company refused to pay the pol
icy, claiming that Rawn had commit
ted suicide.
DR.. Reinhardt testified that post
mortem examination of Rawn's body
convinced him that the shot which
ended his life was fired at contact
range" This conclusion, he said, was
based on experiments conducted by
himself and others on bodies in the
county morgue.
Rawn carried insurance in III accl-
dent companies for a total of $120,000-
Six companies compromised on bisis
of so per cent and Mrs. Rawn received
$50, 900 from them. Four Of the COM
panies would not settle and against
one in which Rawn was insured FOR
$4,000, the present suit was brought.
The deposition was introduced by the
insurance company.

erect while empires all around are
bowed beneath the weight of their
own armaments-a republic whose

WASHINGTON, Mar. 7.-Secretary
of State Bryan gave to the press today
the first official statement as to his
views on the national position of the
United States. He did not go into a

For this purpose he used an abstract
from a speech he delivered nearly
13 years ago.
The secretary's statement follows:
