REPUBLICANS VOTE
NOT TO SEAT Lee
Lawyers in Senate Believe
Maryland Election Is Illegal,
and Advise Another.

In an informal conference of Repub-
lican Senators, it has been determined
to Oppose the seating of Blair Lee as
Senator from Maryland for the unex-
pired term of the late Senator Ray
ner, the place temporarily filled by Sem
ator William p. Jackson by appoint
ment.
1t has been settled for some DAYS that
there would be such opposition II
raises serious doubt whether Lee will
take his seat in the Senate until the
legislature of Maryland meets and au-
thorizes new special election, and that
election, Is held.
The Republican opposition is based on
the ground that there Is nothing In the
Maryland election laws under which
United States Senator can be elected
under the recent direct elections amend
ment Governor Goldsborough held
otherwise on the strength of an opinion
furnished by Attorney General Edgar
Allen Poe, of Maryland
Senators Root Sutherland and others
of the ablest lawyers in the Senate
combat this view, and hold that the
governor had no authority to call an
election without first being auhorized
by the legislature to do so. The Senate.
Of course, is judge of the eligibility of
its members, and can seat Lee if II
wants to. The difficulty Is that IL the
attempt Is made to seat him il will in
volve a prolonged debate.

STRIVES TO AVERT
BIG RAILROAD STRIKE

As a last step to avert strike thai
would cripple railroad traffic in a large
rortion OF the South. twenty represen-
tatives of the employees OF the Cincin-
natl, New Orleans and Texas Pacific and
the Alabama Great Southern railroads,
have been called into conference with
the board of mediation and Cancellation.
At the hearing, which is being con-
Quoted, By Assistant Commissioner G.
Wallace W. Hanger in the boards
rooms in the Southern building, Vice
President Shea and Vice President Cor
rigan of the fremen's and engineers
hrotherhoods also appear with the men.
Vice President Powell and General Man
&ger Baker of the Cincinnati, New Or
leans and Texas Pacific appear for the
railroads.
There were ffty-five points of dispute,
but this number has been reduced to
four. and the mediation board hopes TO
reach a settlement without sending the
matter TO. arbitration. One of the de-
rlands of the men is that an increase tp
wages paid enginemen for 2oo-mile
strip through the Tennessee mountains,
with many tunnels, be made to apply to
the other divisions of the road.
Efforts are being made TO hasten a
settlement as there are several rail-
road disputes pending before the
board. among them the controversy
between the Southern railway and
its maintenance of way men. which
goes to arbitration next Monday.

PARALYzED, PRAYS
FOURTEEN HOURS

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Hannah Mo-
ran seanstress. fifty years old, with
no relatives In this country. went from
her little furnished room at 361 West
Thirtieth street to the Church of st.
John the Baptist shortly before
o'clock yesterday morning to begin her
day with religious devotion, as she al
ways had done.
Soon after she knelt in a pew she
was stricken with paralysis. Although
she could not rise she did not summon
aid. Instead she continued with her
beads and her prayers.
Brother Anselm. in charge of the
saw her at 10 o'clock, and left her there
at noon When he returned later in
the afternoon she was still praying
there. He thought she had gone out
in the meantime and had returned. The
church is always open in the daytime
and many come to pray. some of them
for hours.
Brother V. p. Martin addressed the
Third Order of the st. Rose Society in
the church last night on the feast of St.
Martin. which is observed today.
O'Clock some of the hundreds of women
present saw Hannah Moran, still trying
to pray, but very weak. They spoke to
her and then spoke to Brother Martin.
He found she was faint from hunger.
Food was brought from the rectory and
then an ambulance was called from the
New York Hospital.
Miss Moran told the ambulance sur
seon that she felt the sharp pains in her
legs soon after she kneIt- When she
tried to arise she could not. Believing
that prayer would help her she had re-
turned to her devotions and had contin-
ued for fourteen hours, until hunger and
weakness had compelled her to reveal
her condition to the women of the So
ciety who had questioned her.
At the hospital IL is believed that she
may be able to walk again.
