E
ton, case, POP, u. s.. at page 3e9. ex-
pressly holds that United States SEN
ator Is not an Officer under the govern
ment of the United States
The court he went on to explain, points
out that while senators participate IN
passing laws that concern the entire coun-
try its members are chosen by state leg
islatures, and cannot properly be said to
hold their places under the governmen,
of the United States"
Senator Robinson, further enpha sizing
this point, said:
While this suggestion Is worthy of
consideration. | beieva that it is not
necessary in determining this case to
hold a United States senator is a state
officer. 1t is sufficient to demonstrate
that Mr., Clayton has no term separate
from that of his predecessor, Mr.. John
ston, who was chosen. that is, elected
by the Alabama legislature before the
seventeenth amendment went to effect,
and that Senator Clayton. if seated, will
be serving the unexpired term Of Senator
Johnston. That term is not affected by
the new amendment and MrzClayton was
therefore, appointed under the old provi-
sions of the constitution.

O'NEAL'S ADVISER
ADDRESSES COMMITTEE

At the conclusion of Senator Robinson's
argument, r. B. Evins, Governor O'Neal's s
legal representative addressed the COM
mittee.
MI Evins based his argument upon the
provision in the code of Alabama that
makes it mandatory upon the governor
to fill any vacancy that might occur in
any state office
Mr. Evins contended that a senator as a
representative of a state is state officer.
In support of that contention he quoted
many authorities and the constitution
itself
He insists that there is no authority in
support of the contention that senator
is an officer of the United States.
From questions asked by members of
committee the inference is that the ma
jority Of the members of the committee
do not concur in the views of Senator
Robinson and Mr.. Evjns that ONeal had
the right to appoint.

ALABAMA HAS
But ONE SENATOR

Mr Taylor concludes his argument as
follows. alabama now has but one
senator in the Senate: her Legislature
does not meet in regular session until
1915. II at great expense an extraor-
binary session of the Legislature should
be called to authorize the filing of the
vacancy under the terms of the seven
teenth amendment such appointment
would be void because the new amend =
ment declares expire ssly that il does
not apply to a term existing prior to
its adoption The only way in which
Alabama at this critical time can be
guaranteed her equal suffrage in the
Senate viii be by the admission of Mr..
Clayton, who has been appointed as the
constitution provides

a cabinet minister said this afternoon
that General Huerta was determined not
to quit office and that the summoning
to the. capitol OF General Trevino had
nothing to do with change in the presi-

the pacifcation OF the country can yet be
accomplished by him.
Asa proof of the progress already made
In this direction the department of war
refers to the reports of federal victories
in various parts of the republic and
characterizes the stories of rebel sue
cesses as falsehoeds. The administration
points to the successful repairing of the
main line of the National railway and
expresses the hope that service will be
resumed within a few days. This would
have been accomplished today, it is said,
had it not been for the cutting of the
line yesterday between San Luis Potosi

SO far as the protection of foreigners
is concerned Mexico takes the position
that she will do all in her power to

States to permit arms and ammunition
to reach the Mexican government through
American sources will not be such great
handicap to General Huerta, as he al
ready has begun the purchase of supplies
from Japan and has long been receiving
