terday afternoon He defeated Senator

When the Senate meets Monday. the
democrats will offer Senator Clarke as
their candidate for President pro tempore,
and the republicans viii nominate SEN
ator Galinger of New Hampshire. The
democrats outnumbering the republicans
Sc 10 40, counting Senator Poindexter of
Washington a supporter of the repub-
lican nominee, Senator Clarke will be re-
elected.
After the vote had been announced
Senator Pomerene moved that 1t be
made unanimous In favor of his oppo-
nent. This was done. But notwith-
standing the evident attempt which is
being made by democratic leaders to
bring about harmony and to present a
united front to the republican attacks
at the coming session of Congress,
there is strong feeling ranking among
the democrats which may break out
into open strife at any time. The con-
test over the office of President pro
tempore, which is after all an empty
honor in the opinion of many, was ar
dent. While Senator Stone and others
who spoke against the reelection OF
Senator Clarke as President pro tenn
pore said that they were not seeking
to punish" Senator Clarke because OF
his "bolting' the administration ship

here to the effect that there has been
no disposition to punish me for my IN
dependence of action. Well, I'll let that
pass by-but l wasn't born yesterday.
1t was noticeable that all OF the DEM
ocratic senators who with Senator
Clarke "bolted' the ship purchase bill
voted for his reelection as President
pro tempore.

WILL PAY FOR GLASSES.
Controller of Treasury Allows Ex.
penditure for Prisoner on Appeal,

Eyeglasses for a federal prisoner,
w. Sloane. confined in the Alameda
county [Cal) jail. will be paid for with
government money. An expenditure of
$40. disallowed by the auditor for the
State and other departments, is al
lowed on appeal to the controller of
the Treasury.
The Attorney General recommended
the disallowance on a misunderstood
ing of his authorization. 1t seems he
suggested that, If possible. the prisoner
be fitted with glasses without optical
examination. but If the examination
prove necessary. that the total expense
for examination should not exceed $40
j. B. Holohan. United States marshal
for the northern district of California,
made the expenditure. Under some mis-
understanding. the auditor was in
formed over the phone from the De-
partment of Justice that this authori-
zation did not apply to Sloane. The
authorization. cited on appeal. seemed
conclusive evidence tnat Sloane was
the man meant to be so fitted with
glasses.

United States Will Pay Expense
Item of Customs Employe.

Expenses of Alfred Eaton of the Gus
toms service for a deck chair and tips
to stewards-in all, s5.50-traveling by
steamer from New York to New Orleans
will be paid by the government.
The auditor disallowed the amount on
the ground that these charges would not
have accrued had the government en-
ploye travelled by rail, the shortest route
between the points. The controller of the
Treasury, Mr.. w. Warwick, points out
that Eaton's expenses were smaller than
those of a fellow employe who Travelled
by rail. Therefore he allows the items.
