Causes Six Weeks Delay.

These two provisions taken together
would in themselves preclude the Con-
gress from proposing any amendment
that would affect the status quo Of the
states representation in the Senate. The
Congress is now in session. BY death a
seat is vacant in the Senate, and under
the new regulations for filing that va
cancy at least six weeks must be con-
sumed. None of the legislatures mas MADE
provision for the governor to call spe-
cial election; therefore, in the meaning OF
article " IL the governor would nave to
call an extraordinary session of the leg
islature to enact laws for holding spe-
cial election to fill the vacancy. 1t can
readily be seen that the state would be
for an unnecessary length OF 'ime de-
prived of equal suffrage.
In order to meet just such emer-
gencies as the present case, the Consti-
tuition in the first instance PROVIDED
for temporary appointment by the gov
ernor until the legislature should meet
reasons for this provision; first the
vacancy should be filled at once, and
second, the state should not be forced
to the expense of convening the regis
lature for q purpose 50 easily olner-
wise provided for.
If the construction placed by many
of the senators on the provision Tor

pear that the proper construction
would be that the seats OF the mem
bers of the Senate sitting at the time
of the passage of the law could not

AUTHORITY TO NAME
SENATOR IS MOOTED
Star Contributor Says Consti-
tutiona|ity of 18th Amend
ment May Be Questioned.
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor Of The Star.
In appointing a successor to the late
Senator Johnston of Alabama did Gov
O'Neal exceed his constitutional au-
thority!
In constituting the provisions of the
seventeenth amendment, regulating pro-
cedure in filling senatorial vacancies
there are several conditions to be taken
into consideration that are fundamental.
Eliminating the proviso that lit shall
not affect the term of any senator chosen
before 1t became valid etc, fundamental
ly, has the Congress the right to enact
laws affecting the terms or emoluments
OF its present membership? If 1t has
not, how can it change the procedure
regulating any part OF that term? 1t
is a fact that Senator Johnston was
elected by the legislature of Alabama
for q full term Of six years; though Sem
ator Johnston is dead, his term to which
he was duly elected by the legislature
lives on to March 4. 1913. Then If the
seventeenth amendment could not "af-
feet his term" while living, how can it
AFFECT a part Of that term after his
death?
Hinges on Two Principles.
The whole question revolves around
these two principles: A senatorial term
is six years.; heretofore the method of
election has been by the legislatures of
the several states; under such elections
the procedure in filling vacancies must
continue as prior to the provisions Of
the new amendment for election by di-
rect vote of the people, consequently the
procedure for filing vacancies under the
new amendment can only apply to
vacancies npcIIYrinn n "a vy1arrhnr has

Emphatic Admonitions of Judge.

The courtroom was somewhat startled
in the afternoon session by the emphatic
admonitionS of the judge to the jury that
the case must not be discussed by the
jurors particularly with any friend of
Diggs or F. Drew Caminetti, co-defend-
ant in another case on like indictment.
They must not even allow the case to
be mentioned within their hearing or
read about it in the newspapers.
These are the usual instructions to
jurors, but the emphasis with which they
were twice repeated by Judge Van Fleet
gave rise to inquiries which he would
not satisfy He refused to discuss his
reasons. and Theodore Roche, who has
thus far conducted :. the government s
case, would be no more specific, although
he did say there was reason for the
courts order One juror admitted he
had been in company where the case
was discussed, though he had not joined
in the talk.
Just before adjournment Nathan Cogh-
Ian. for the defense. asked permission to
place Roche on the stand. On the re-
four were under arrest, Marsha Warning
ton had given to Assistant District At
torney Atkins of Sacramento a statement
of the elopement which was taken down
by an official court reporter and which
was entirely at variance, he was inform
ed, with her testimony in court. The de-
tense wished this statement in evidence.
Judge Van Fleet held that he had no
power to compel the prosecution to sur
render the statement, but he was willing
it should be introduced by agreement.
and, il introduced, that it should be
made the basis of cross-examination.
Roche resisted the motion.
Lola Norris story was fOreShadowed
lightly when Miss Warrington testified
that she and Diggs had been companions
of Caminetti and Miss Norris on vari-
GUS trips to San Francisco, Stockton
and San Jose, where they had registered
under false names as married couples.
Tells of Arrest in Reno.
Telling Of their arrest in Reno, Miss
Warrington said:
When Chief Hillhouse came to arres:
us the morning of the 18th we were
still in bed. Diggs said There are the
police
He understood that it was a serious
situation, for he told me: It's up to you
girls to keep us out of the pen. Do every
thing you can to shield us.
A letter, addressed to Dear Pickles, .
said to have been written after his ar
rest by Diggs to Miss Warrington, was
shown to the jury. The letter contained
this sentiment:
Don't worry now; everything will
come OK. and you remember what
said to you, the last words"
Miss Warrington was asked what
were the last words" Adjurations.
she answered. not to tell anything that
would incriminate the writer.
AS soon as her testimony was I'm
ishes cross examination began.
Two minor witnesses-the managing
editor of a Sacramento newspaper and
the probation officer of Sacramento
county-denied that there had been any
scandal connected with the names of
the four on the points of exploding
into print or that arrests were i'm
pending if they remained in Sacra
mento. Miss Warrington had testified
that Digs had told her such was the
case and this fear had been her prime
motive in leaving her home.

thereof may make temporary appoint
ments until the next meeting Of the legis-
lature, which shall then fill such vac
ancies.'
If this clause of article /, section 3, is
taken together with the following clause
or article v of the Constitution, which
provides for amending the same, it is
made very clear that the trainers of the
Constitution had in mind two important
features of representation in the Senate:
first, that there should be minimum of
time elapsing In a vacancy, and second,
that no state should be deprived of its
equal suffrage in the Senate. The clause
referred to in article v is as follows:
1.-THE Congress, whenever two-thirds Of
both houses shall deem it necessary,
shall propose amendments to this Consti-
tuition, provided and
that no state, without its consent, shall
be deprived of its equal suffrage in the
Senate"
