ARKANsAN is SELECTED BY eau.
Gus TO SUCCEED cALLlNeER
OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.
BACON'S FRIENDS ARt SURPRISED
Feel That He Was Not Fairly Treated
Georgia Statesman Declares He
Did Not Know He Would Have oppo-
sitlon or Would Have Withdrawn.

Washington, March S.-After spend
ing the greater part of Friday In eau
Gus the Democratic senators succeed
ed in agreeing upon candidates to fill
only three of the elective offices of
that body. These were:
Senator James p Clarke of Arkan-
sas to succeed Senator Gallinger of
New Hampshire, Republican, as presi-
dent pro TEN. of the Senate; the Rev.
E. J. Prettyman of the District of Co
lumbia to succeed the Rev. U. G. B.
Pierce as chaplain, and Charles p.
Higgins, a real estate dealer of st.
Louis, to succeed E. Livingstone Cor
nelius, as sergeant-at-arms.
Senator Clarke was elected by a vote
of 27 to ii over Senator Augustus o.
Bacon of Georgia, who alternated with
Senator Gallinger in the office Of pres
ident pro TEN. throughout the late
session and whose election had been
considered practically a certainty
since the Democrats gained control
Senator Clake was placed in nomi-
nation by Senator O'Gorman of New
York and Senator Bacon by his col
league, Senator Hoke Smith of Geor-
ga. Both were eulogized by their
champions. Other senators seconded
the nominations. Mentioning the fact
that Mr.. Clarke's term would expire
in the next two years his supporters
made an appeal for his election on the
ground that it would be of assistance
to him in his race for reelection. They
also urged the fact that Senator Ba-
con is in line for the Craftsmanship Of
the committee on foreign relations as
a reason why he should not be elected
to preside over the Senate.
The result of the election caused
considerable stir, the friends of Sen
ator Bacon feeling that he had not
! been fairly treated.
At the afternoon session, Senator
Smith rendered his resignation as a
member of the steering committee, to
which he had been appointed only yes
terday. Mr.. Smith, who had been es-
pecially Jealous in his support of Sen
ator Bacon, said he felt his colleague
had been made to suffer on his ac-
count. He was induced to withdraw
the resignation later, but not until
there had been a general discussion Of
the affair.
Senator Bacon SAID ne mad been un-
prepared for the defeat because he
had not known there was any other
applicant for the office. He added that
if he had been informed that any other
person desired the honor he would
have withdrawn from the race.
Senator Tillman spoke at some
length, charging Mr.. Bacon's defeat to
the Incorporate desire on the part of
some senators to do away with the
established customs of the Senate by
retiring the older men in the interest
of the new. He found in Senator Ba-
con the first victim of this modern
crusade and uttered warning against

Washington, March S.-President
Wilson had settled deep enough in Of

some of the things that may be ex-
pected of him in the near future He
made no public announcements of pol
icy, but there were few of the de-
velopments that seemed to show the

The President told visitors he was
inclined to favor the plan of House
leaders to confine the special session
of Congress to tariff revision.
He indicated that, while he did not
at this time look forward to passage
of currency reform measure at the
special session. such a bill might be
whipped into shape in the House, while
the Senate was wrestling with the
tariff.
The President indorsed the policy

Chairman Fitzgerald of the House ap-

leaders.

MANY BODIES BELIEVED
WENT DOWN WITH VESSEL
~ ers Thought Torn to Shreds BY
Force of the Experimentation
of Nearby Fort Guns Cracked-Sur-
Vivors Tell Conflicting Stories.
(By Associated Press.)

Baltimore, March S.-Inyestigations
are under way today to ascertain the
cause and fix the blame for the ex-
plosion of 300 tons of dynamite in the
hold of the steamer Alum Chine in
Baltimore Harbor yesterday, which
sons and injured score more. Au-
thorities who made a partial examina-
tion express the opinion that the real
cause of the explosion will never be
: known, chiefly because those whV
might give information either are
among the dead or so seriously manned
they never will be able to make
statement regarding the accident
The concrete foundations of heavy
coast defense guns in Forts Howard,
Armistead and Carroll were cracked
while severals guns themselves were
damaged by falling pieces of steel
from the steamer.
1t is regarded as almost certain that
all bodies have not been recovered
from the waters of the harbor, while
others, it is believed were torn to
shreds by the force of the heavy eX-
plosion. Many bodies are believed to
have gone to the bottom with the shat
tered hull of the vessel.
Excited survivors told conflicting
stories, some insisting that a negro
stevedore caused the explosion by
jamming a pick into a case of dyna-
mite. This is denied by eye witnesses
who declare that smoke was seen
pouring from the Alum Chimes hold
y several minutes before the explosion
Occurred. At late hour last night the
Bodies of twenty dead had been
brought to morgues in this city and
sixty injured we're in the hospitals.
Estimates of the dead included thirty
stevedores and checkers OF the Jo-
seph R. Foard Company, employed in
transferring dynamite from barge to
the boat which was bound for Panama,
eight members of the crew of the Alum
Chine, six men of the collier Jason and
the captain and several members oil
the crew of the tug Atlantic. Many
bodies, 1t is believed, never will be
recovered from the icy waters.
OF the injured a score are frightfully
MANNED. At least fifteen are expected
to die.

Last night nine of the dead had been
identified. They are:
T Captain William E. Van Dyke, Balti
