PAY RESPECT TO
JUDGE MCPHERSON
COUNTY BAR ASSOClA.
TON ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS
ON HIS DEATH.

The members of the Wapello County
! Bar association adopted resolutions
Saturday afternoon in memory Of the
late Judge Smith Mcpherson, who held
federal court here several terms. Upon
a motion Of the association Judge d..
M. Anderson, presiding jurist in the
district court, ordered the resolutions
to be made a part of the court record
for the day and to be sent to Mrs. Nc
Pherson The following were adopted:
Resolved, In the death of Hon.
Smith Mcpherson, this state has lost
one of its distinguished citizens and
the federal bench one Of its able and
upright judges. He was man or
decided opinions and quick perception,
who readily grasped the real perception,
involved in the case before him. He
was brought into national prominence
by his decision in the Missouri rail-
road rate case, his decisions in cases
involving questions under the pure
food law attracted popular attention.
He was a man of broad general culture
and of sterling character. His nature
was one Of unusual frankness and
sincerity. While to those slightly
acquainted with him he appeared
austere in manner and unsympathetic
in nature, yet, to those who knew him
best he was recognized for the loyalty
of his friendship, for the great kindli'
ness of his heart and for that charity
which s'thinketh no evil.' Judge NC
Pherson manifested lively interest IN
the welfare of this city and often ex-
pressed the pleasure It gave him to
hold court here.
Resolved, That our sympathy goes
forth to the bereaved wife in the loss
of her distinguished husband.
Resolved That the Wapello district
court be requested to order these reso-
lutions spread on it's records and that
a conv be sent to the widow of the de.
parted jurist.

To Continue Siege.
Preparations for continuing the
tege were apparent today at the out
ct. Both sides arranged for relays
f speakers throughout the day and
ight and tomorrow The senate as
embed promptly at 10 o'clock, but SO
many senators were late it was more
than half an hour before a quorum was
present.
I'VE propose to keep the senate in
continuous session." declared Majority
Leader Kern.
Senator Stone, from the democratic
side, announced that he proposed to
give the republicans some enlighten-
ment" tomorrow if he could find an
opportunity to wedge in on the repub.
lican speeches.
Prospects of a cloture rule, II the
relentless opposition Of republicans
should continue, were being discussed
In democratic circles.
When Senator Smith Of Michigan,
resumed his speech, Senator Walsh
challenged his statement that there
were 100000 unemployed men in New
York City.
I'm the last election said Senator
Walsh, 1.-The total vote in the city for
governor was 4s1,000 odd, SO the sena-
tor means to say that there are more
employed men in the city Of New
York than there are voters"
Senator Smith insisted his figures
included aliens, unnaturalized citizens
and tramps from other states as we'll
as citizens of the city. He declared
there were 10000 unemployed in Chi
cago.
The white house got tangible evil
dence of the activity Of the democrats
when a request arrived today for per-
mission to install cots in the pres1-
dents room for democratic senators
to keep near the chamber day and
night for a roll call. The president
readily agreed.
Senators Sherman, Weeks, Page
and others kept up running fire of
questions with the Michigan senator,
relating to business conditions and the
shipping bill was entirely ignored in
the argument.
Senator Fletcher, in charge of the
bill, declared: 1--WE are prepared to

Senator Smith arraigned the admin |

previous charge that American troops
