TIME WASTED
 IN SENATE
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington, April 2O--(SpeciaD What is the senates game? This ques- ton arises over the method the senate has adopted during the past two or ! three weeks.
 \ great deal of time was spent in discussing the woman suffrage resolu- tion, although it was known that twO-thirds majority could not be Ob- talned to pass it. Much time has been spent over the proposition for grain grading, several days of which were devoted to whether the bill was prop prly before the senate or not. Then there were long and dreary speeches Ou the cotton futures bill, mostly to empty seats.
 All this time the calendar of the sen ate contained page after page of bills which had been reported but which did not receive consideration. First oac bill and then another became the unfinished business, and then was set aside while different senatorR jostled and pushed and clamored for cOnsid- eratioa of measures in which they were interested, and all this time we heard talk about having an early ad- journment

 It would scarcely comport with sena- torial dignity to refer to members of that body as "scrappers." And yet that word occurs to those of us who have observed a number of men trying to get their legislation considered. Prominent among those I might men ton are ShafrOth of Colorado and My CTS of Montana, who have given the senate 10 understand that unless they can get their Oils considered there will be trouble in future Legislation.

Arrest and Then Married Him.
Atchison. Kan, July 23.-When
Harry Starr, a motion picture opera
tor, called up Miss Emma Barrett, a
night operator for the Bell Telephone
company, and she called up the police
to rid herself Of the young mans al
legged annoyance one night recently,
there began an acquaintance which
yesterday eliminated in the marriage
of the young couple.
The groom is employed at the Royal
theater. One night few moons ago.
he called the night operator and began
reciting one Of the monologues he had
heard that night at the theater. The
impersOnatfon was that of a crazy
man, and the frightened operator, who
happened to be Miss Barrett, called
the police. Meanwhile she kept Starr
on the wire until the cops arrived at
his end OF the line. The police inves-
tigated and it was some time before
Starr could explain and prove his
sanity.
