CLASS IS BARRED
BY SENATE VOTE
Members Stand 80 to 8 1 in Up
holding New Law for Direct
Election by People.

Washington, Feb. 5.-By vote of
80 to 81 Frank P Glass of Alabama
lost yesterday his fight for seat in
the United States Senate.
The vote sustained the recommEnda-
ton of the committees on privileges
and elections This held that Mr..
Glass was not entitled 10 a seat be-
cause his appointment by Governor
O'Neal to the vacancy caused by the
death of Senator Joseph F. Johnston
was made after the Seventeenth Con-
stitutional Amendment directing cleo
ton of senator's by direct ballot of the
people had been proclaimed in full
effect.
Bitter debate marked the close CT
the case, the second which the senate
has settled involving Interpretation of
the constitutional amendment. Sena-
tor Blair Lee of Maryland, who was
seated a few days ago on recommen-
dation of the elections committee,
made his maiden speech in favor of
Mr. Glass and later cast his vote for
him.
In spite of the committees report
only eight democrats voted to deny
Mr.. Glass his seat. They were Kern,
Hitchcock; Johnson, Lane, Pomerene,
Shively, Thompson and Walsh.
Four republicans, Bradley, Fall,
Perkins and Stephenson, voted with
The minority.
Senator CIapp Of Minnesota, who
signed the minority report favoring
Mr.. Glass, proved the undoing of the
Alabama appointee. He had an
that he would vote to seat
Mr. Glass, but late in the day he said
in a brief speech that he had become
convinced that his original interpre-
tation of the case had been erroneous.
Senator Walsh of Montana, who
wrote the majority report, appealed
in a closing plea to his colleagues
to cast aside personal esteem and
friendship and to consider the case
from a legal standpoint only; to realize
that they were making history and
that a precedent might be established
on which the will of the people might
be overturned in future emergencies.
Senator Cherman of Illinois spoke ,
in opposition TO the seating of Mr..
Glass.
"The precedent made in this case
Hill govern possible vacancies for
ninety four senators" Mr.. Sherman
continued. 1T means delay of the
amendment for five years
rom March 4, 1914, in cases of all SEN
ators elected March 1913, and for
four years 10 two years in the cases
If other senators.
The seventeenth amendment was a
'emedy for existing evils as seen by
he people of the different s.stes. If
he election of a senator is deemed
necessary Alabame.'s governor could
convene the legislature and have it
him to appoint temporarily,
4 it saw fit, and fix a time when he
should issue special writs for the
election of senator by the people.
lie has not done so. In lieu of it he
Is 5umes to appoint a senator. 1t is a

ROBBED BY THUGS
And BURIED ALIVE
Cleveland Coroner So Finds in
Case of Robert Mercer of
Pittsburgh.

Cleveland, O., Feb. 5-Beaten
robbed, and buried alive was the fate
of Robert Mercer. timekeeper at the
new city hall building, who had beer
missing since Dec. 81 and whose BODY
was dug up from the sub-basemen
yesterday by Detective Shibley. Pc
lice declare an arrest will be made
soon.
The young mans mother, Mrs. Jen
ME Mercer of Pittsburgh, was re
sponsible for finding the body. She
has been in Cleveland the last two
months searching for her son. Guided
by intuition, she prevailed upon the
detective to search the basement for
the body 1t was found buried three
feet deep. The arms were folded
across the breast and the knees were
drawn up.
Coroner Byrne after an autopsy as
serted Mercer was beaten on the head
with a club, knocked senseless, and
then buried alive by his assailants,
who thought they had killed him.
When Mercer was last seen near the
new city hall on Dec. 81 he had with
him 500 given him by his mother and
diamonds and jewelry valued at $1,000.
When the body was found the money
was missing, but the jewelry and dia-
monds were intact.
IL is believed that after the rob-
bers had struck their victim they be-
jewelry.
Mercer has boarded at the Mittle-
berger hotel, and his roommate, Harry
Cooper, said the last he saw of him
was at the city hall, where he had
spoken about going to Pittsburgh for
the holidays. The night watchman
says he saw him at the office OF the
company at the new
building and that in reply to ques-
ton he had said he was going home.
The young man had, in fact, made
to attend a Christmas
dinner at the home of his fiancee,
Miss Alma Mcmillan. at Pittsburgh.
When he failed TO keep his appoint
ment Mrs. Mercer and Miss McMil-
Ian came here to search for him, but
liligent efforts on the part OF the po-
lice failed to uncover any clew
After the police gave up the search
Mrs. Mercer remained here and
declared she had n premonition that
he young mans body was buried un-
Ter the city hall. Detective Shibley
thought there might be something in
ler intuition and with a gang of
xorkmen began the search.
In the subbasement the detective
'ound a place where the dirt had re-
emily been removed. The body soon
vas disclosed.
