lie works remained at his home today
for the purpose of tabulating the va
rious bids which were submitted yes

tenn so that comprehensive COMPARE
son OF the proposals Of the various bid

COMPROMISE is EFFECTED WITH

HOUSES.

other Suits Held in Abeyance Are
Expected to Produce as Much
More in Revenue.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New Orleans.-A settlement has
been reached in the suits of the state
tax collector, Captain John Fitzpatrick,
against five wholesale liquor houses
of this city, by which the state will
secure about 100000 in delinquent IL
cense taxes. w. w. Westerfield, spe-
cial attorney for the tax collector
brought the actions and handled the
cases.
Other suits in allegiance will prob
ably yield as much more.
Originally suit was brought by At
torney Westerfield against five large
concerns, viz: E. c. Villere & Co., F.
Hollander & Co., Paul Gelpi & Sons,
Loeb, Lion & Felix and A. NJ. & J. So
lari, charging that they sold in less
quantities than five gallons and there
fore must carry retail liquor license
and also alleging that they were do
ing a maximum annual business OF
$4,000 or over. The retail license In
such cases is 81, 900.
Four years licenses were involved
1910, 1911, 1912 and 1913.
After many conferences between the
states representatives and the Whole
sale Dealers Association, the adjust
ment was reached on the basis Of 81
per cent of the entire amount sue'
for by the state, including the year o
1910, which had been prescribed.
In round figures it amounts to abou
30,0OO, but Mr.. Westerfield had som
fifteen other suits in abeyance, pend
ing this final result, which it is no'
believed will yield another 100000 o
about that sum.

proved to be fire.
He Immediately gave an alarm. and,
with help of neighbors, the fire was

That it was the work of an incepd-

started with empty cartons, wood
boxes and shavings saturated with
coal oil.
This is the second fire in the last
six months at Mr.. Berthelot's store

THOSE INVOLVED IN NEW

FURTHER INQUIRY PLANNED
Senators Would Ascertain What Be-

Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-Alen involved in some
of the past financial transactions OF
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad were denounced as criminals
H. the Senate. Senator Borah said
they should be occupying penitentiary
cells if charges relating TO the corpo-
ration's affairs are sustained.
There were intimations that the fed
eral government still contemplates in
stituting criminal action against GER
tain individuals engaged in transac-
tions of the New Haven which have
been Investigated by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The discussion
arose when Senator Norris of Nebras-
ka called up his resolution to direct
the commission to extend its inquiry
into the New Haven's affairs particu-
larly with a view to ascertaining what
became of millions of dollars of the
New Haven's funds declared to have
been fraudulently withheld from the
railroads stockholders.
To Aid Widows and Orphans.
Senator Norris insisted that further
investigation at least might furnish
a basis for proceedings by the present
management of the New Haven to re-
cover something for the widows or
orphans who have been 'plundered."
Senator Norris read newspaper
charges emphasizing particularly that
attorneys for Morgan & Co., received
s150,000 for drawing the incorporation
papers of a $1,000 subsidiary corpora
ton Of the New Haven.
"If half the information made public
about the New Haven transaction Is
true, eight or 10 persons ought TO be
in the penitentiary," interjected Sen
ator Borah. "Ahe you not afraid fur
ther investigation may give immunity
to guilty persons?"
Might Grant Immunity. /
Senator Norris replied that testi-
mony probably could be obtained
, from bookkeepers and he had no OBJ
lection to giving them immunity.
: Referring to circumstances disclos-
: ed in the commissions report on New
) England railroad conditions. the senator
= declared that the commission had not
completed its investigation as to the
D New Haven because it feared it might
= be compelled to extend immunity TO
D offenders.
/ Senator Borah declared his faith In
a the attorney-general to push prosecu
e tions of certain men involved in al
legged crooked New Haven deals. Fol
l. him not to proceed on disclosures
e made, IL ground for the relations
should prove sound, he said, would
y lay the attorney general open to i'm

GLASS LOSES HIS
SEAT IN SENATE
ALABAMA EDITORS FRIENDS S
MAKE HARD FIGHT-DEFeAT-

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-By a majority of one
vote-32 to 31-Frank p. Glass OF Ala
bama, editor of Birmingham news
paper, lost his fight for a seat in the
United States Senate. The vote sus-
tanned the recommendation of the
Committee on Privileges and Elections,
which held that Mr.. Glass was not en-,
titled to be seated because his ap-
pointment by Governor O'Neal to sue,
ceed the late Senator Joseph F. John
ston was made after the Seventeenth
constitutional amendment directing
election of senators by the people
had been proclaimed.
In the face of determined opposition
from the majority members Of the
committee, headed by Senator Kern
the champions of the Alabaman, pro
| ceeding from a forlorn hope, made re
markable progress in gaining votes
and the narrow margin by which theI
lost caused surprise.
Senator Walsh of Montana, whit
wrote the majority report, in clos
ing plea, appealed to his colleagues t.
cast aside personal esteem and friend
ship and to consider the case from
legal point of view only; to realiz
that they were making history AM
that a precedent might be establish
ed upon which the will Of the peopi
might be overturned.
Only eight Democrats voted to den
Mr.. Glass his seat. They were: Sens
tors Kern, Hitchcock, Johnson, Lam
Pomerene, Shively, Thompson an
Walsh. Republicans: Bradley, Fal
Perkins and Stephenson voted wit
the minority.
