Glynn has much the better of tL. fight. His right to act is recognizee by most of the state officials. In ad. dltion, 1t is now proposed that whel. the legislature convenes on Tuesday resolution shall be introduced and passed by both houses, affirming Glynn's position and recognizing him as the de facto governor. If that is done, there is a likelihood that an at tempt will be made to pass another resolution demanding that Glynn take steps to secure possession of the ex- ecutive offices. Although Sulzer re tains the privy seal, locked in his desk, it was expected that replica of it would be made for the use of the lieutenant governor in his capacity as acting governor.
 The feeling between the factions is growing increasingly bitter, ana threats of physical violence were made by lesser lights, but these are not taken seriously as yet
 It was expected that Sulzer. havins the definite refusal of Glynn to agree to court proceedings before him would be forced to act. He and hi. lawyers conferred on this matter They are admittedly at a disadvan tage. The original proposal that they prepare the way for a habeas corpuf action by pardoning a convict from Sing Sing prison and then having the warden hold up the execution of the pardon, has been blocked Secretary of State May will not permit the use of the great seal of the state to at test the document, and without that it is worthless.

TALK DELAYS TARIFF BILL
SENATE PLANS TO MEET EARLIER AND WORK LATER AT NIGHT.
Fight on Butter Loses-Gronna's At tempt to Put 15-Cent Duty on
 Potatoes Also Fails.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Extended debate over details Of the agricultural schedule again has delayed progress on the tariff bill in the senate.
 At the end of a session devoted to discussion of rates on butter, hay and potatoes the senate found it had passed on scarcely more than d dozen items.
 Democratic leaders are canyassinC the situation to decide as to the ad. visibility of beginning longer sessior3 next week in the hope that work on the bill may be hastcned
 The senate is working from i 1 a. m. to 6 D. m. Earlier sessions and meet figs at night probably will be recom- mended.
 Efforts by Senator Page of Vermont to prevent the Democrats cutting the 6-cent duty of butter to 212 cents per pound were unsuccessful.
 Senator Sherman of Illinois criti- cised the Democrats for trying to re- duce the price of butter while they refused to reduce the price of substi- tutes by taking off the heavy internal revenue tax.
 An attempt by Senator Gronna to put duty of 15 cents a bushel on potatoes also was unsuccessful. The present bill would make them free with a countervailing duty.
 The potato tariff brought another criticism from Senator Bristow con- corning the potato starch duties. He declared that to put potatoes on the free list, while starch and other potae to products were left undutiable, was che of the worst examples in the bill of the discrimination against farm CTS"
 Senator Walsh argued that a duty on potatoes would not affect the prices received by farmers except along the Atlantic seacoast.
 Senator Gronna opposed the con- mittee amendment reducing the house duty of 20 cents per bushel on lin. seed to 15 cents He said only the lnseed oil trust" owned by Standard Oil, would benefit by the reduction aUu lndI lHe Q cents would go Into the Standard Oil coffers instead of the United States treasury, without bene- fitting a single individual. The amend nent was adopted.
 The finance committees amend ment reducing the house rate on but ter from 3 cents to 21a cents pound was adopted 9S to 30. Senator Pages amendment to increase the rate to cents was voted down. 3S to go.
 Senator Pondexter led a fight to amend the bill by increasing the rate CT hay from $2 to S3 a ton. He criti- Cised the finance committee for iD- reasing the dcty on monopo'ized to. [ acco and reducing it on hay, prod uct incapable of being monopolized ! The amendment was beaten. g. to 26

GOVERNMENT RESTS CASE
Wives of Digqs and Caminetti to Tes- tify for Defense-CounseI Out lines Theory of Defend
 ants Cases.

San Francisco, Aug 1S.-Maury |. Diggs, leaving the federal building by a side entrance to shield his wife, his mother, his father and three aunts from public curiosity, was ambushed by squad of photographers. The women tried to run, but the photog- raphers kept pace with them, snap ping their cameras as they gave chase.
 Somebody snatched at a camera. Somebody punched photographer in the face, bystanders joined In and in an instant there was free-for all fight at the center of a swirling crowd.
 Drew Caminetti was swept into the vortex and began to struggle with the rest. It became so complicated that the squad of police who came run ming to the melee bundled the whole party of principals into the patrol wagon and took them to the nearest station.
 There it developed after much ar gument, that one photographer had been hammered on the head with something hard, what or by whom he could not be sure. A reporter said that the photographer had been smashed in the face with his own camera As the upshot of the whole affair Diggs was released and friend of his, law clerk, was charged with battery

Government Rests Case.

In the more serious troubles that just now engross the attention of Diggs the government rested its case and the defense took up the burden of proving that he and F. Drew Cami- netti did not transport Marsha War rington and Lola Norris from Sacra- mento to Reno for immoral purposes in violation of the Mann white slave traffic act
 Counsel for the defense announced that Mrs. Diggs and Mrs. Caminetti, the two injured wives, would take the stand for their husbands, and that Diggs would testify in his own be- half With these three witnesses the defense plans to close its case, not later than Wednesday.
 There will be no session of the court Monday.
 So far as the opening statement of Attorney Devlin for the defense indi- cated, no attempt will be made to show that the two girls did not ac- company the two young married men to Reno; that Diggs did not buy the tickets and Caminetti drew the money, or that their relations did not fall within the language of the statute.
 We shall show" said Attorney Dev- lin to the judge. that the purpose of this trip was not as stated in the in dictment; that it was the intention of the defendants only to leave Sacra- mento for a short time to avoid no toriety; that they first had intended to go to some place within the state, but that 1t never was their intenion to leave the state, but simply to get out of Sacramento; that they missed a train for Los Angeles and took the next one, which went to Reno.
 This crime-if it is a crime-is such only because the incidents are supposed to have happened between two states. If they had happened within the boundaries of California, these two young men would not have been charged with the violation of this statute. Two weeks previously Diggs had said that he was going to  Los Angeles. We will show that Miss Warrington said she was going, too. and that he could not leave her in Sacramento"
 The two defendants had the moral support of their wives and mothers, who appeared in court and listened to some particularly unpleasant testi- mony While Mrs. Diggs held her pretty little daughter Evelyn, years old, on her knees, she heard NJ. II. Dfepenbrock testify to the character of her husband as tenant.
 "The ianitor of my office building" he testified. "and the policeman on the beat told me that Diggs was en- tertaining young girls in his office. ,

VoItaire's real name was Francois
Arouet He used his other name mere
" as a trademark. He was born in
1894 near Paris, and by 1915, he had
become sufficiently learned to be sent
to the Bastile for writing sarcastic
poem about Louis XIV. Sarcasm re-
garding kings was usually little more
fatal than spinal meningitis in those
days. but Voltaire was as versatile an
explaiuer as he was a satirist, and got
loose in a year, while many gentlemen
without his large stack of adJectives at
their command fingered on in their
cells for sixty years or more for the
same offense.
yoltaire managed to write himself
back into the Bastile in a few years,
and then went to England. where he
adopted poetry as more harmless
form Of literary exercise and soon be-
came famous. He wasN the idol OF
France when he returned, and for many
