tttions demanding expulsion of Sena-
tor Lafollette again was postponed to-
day by the senate privileges and cleo
tons committee. Another meeting
will be held tomorrow, when it IL
hoped to determine whether any
action shall be taken and il SO whether
before or after adjournment Of tho
present session.
EXPULSION NOT PROBABLE.
The committee Is considering var
ious courses. Today the question of a
formal Investigation and hearings up
on Senator Lafollette's speeches and
statements was discussed.
Several senators were said to favor
a resolution deploring his attitude and
censuring him. More drastic action,
such as expulsion or impeachment. 1t
was said is not seriously considered.
OTHERS TO ESCAPE.
There was some sentiment in the
committee toward recommending in
vestigation of Senator Lafollette's
speech before the non-partisan league
at st. Paul. The committee virtually
decided that there was no prima facie
basis for extending any investigation,
If one should be decided upon. to
Senators Stone, Gronna or others
named in the petitions.
1t was decided that the committee
has authority to recommend an inves-
tigation without having any expulsion
or other formal resolution bsfore it.

requesting the expulsion from the
United States senate of Robert M. La
toilette were adopted and forwarded
today to the senate by Eddy Council

The resolutions describe Senator
Lafollette's course as "antagonistic to

people and so essentially traitorcus |
that the safety of the republic de-
mands his expulsion as An example to
other traitors"

British preparations for combating

there are sufficient stocks of food IN the
country to outlast the period during
which it is calculated that the subma-
rinc warfare will be most dangerous

SUSPEND SOLDIERS DEBTS.

Pennsylvania Law Of 1915 Has Stood
Test In State Courts.
Enlisted men in the national service,
including those selected for the army
by draft, will be protected in Pennsyl-
vania by what virtually amounts to
moratorium.
There Is law on the statute books
Of Pennsylvania, passed two years ago,
which exempts men mustered into state
or national service from any ''civl
process"
It is of special Importance and inter-
est to those who may be selected for
the army and who have been anxious
lest, due to a decrease in their earning
power; they would not be able to meet
payments on their homes and thus
lose them.
According to authorities on realty
law, the act of 1915 will prevent a.
building and loan association, for ex-
ample, from foreclosing a mortgage
held against home owner drafted into
the army for such period as lie is serv-
ing in the army, regardless of whether
the payments on the mortgage are
made as they become due.
It will also prevent, these authorities
say, such legal action as ejectment pro,
ceedings against soldiers family for
nonpayment of rent while the lessor
Of the property is in service.

The real test that shows the marvel
Of the balance in the ear is disclosed
when the youth is forced to sit in the
chair, with fists upon knees and head
bent forward until the forehead touches
the hands. The chair is revolved slow

COSMOS LAWYER IN

roundinqs.

The following clipping from the
: minneapolis Journal relates to the
character generally Anown as Tho
Cosmos Lawyer" He is we'll k:.own
in East Lake Lillian where he has
frequetly attended public meetings.
Generally he would disagree with tie
speakers, making Interruptions and
criticisms, and asking questions. He
believes the world at large is all
= wrong and acts accordingly The re-
port of his arrest follows:
"A story like one of Edgar Allen
Poe's tales was unfoldel in the Off
ces of Howard S. Abbott, master in
chancery, United States district
court today, when Deputy United
States Marshal John H. Mcclure
told how he had arrested Alfred o.
son, farmer west Of Litchfield, on a
charge of sending matter thru the
mails alta cking the Liberty Loan.
June II, according to the COM
plant, Olson wrote a lette" to George
Foster of Buffalo Lake and on the en-
ve.cpe placed the words. Buy a slav-
cry bond; there is room in hell"
TITS strange case said Mcclure
Olson's :a1rl is 25 miles west Of Itch
field and i had time getting there.
=, the most desolate pace in the

4amily lives in, including the barn,

years and they are thin as rails and
dressed in rags. l saw little or no
sign of real farming. Weeds were
everywhere. Windows i'll the house
were broken, flies were present by
the millions and milk cans with GOV.
ers off were in evidence.
"Olson didn't want to leave the
farm and insisted on taking Mrs. o.
son along. I finally agreed, provid
ing he would pay her expenses tc
Minneapolis.
"Olson wanted to tell eyerybod!
within hearing that he had been ar
rested because Of an offense agains
the government. He also wanted tt
have his friends visit him.
apparently Olson has been spend

ing magazines, for there were man!

@ Monett.
When the American Red Cross So
ciety was reorganized on military
basis former President William II.
Taft was the first man to be named a
major general by President Wilson.
This appointment met with universal
favor throughout the United States.
The presidents action was taken un-
der authority granted him by joint res
olution passed by congress last April.
When he retired from the presidency
in 1913 Mr.. Taft remained steadily in
the public eye, although it was more
or less distasteful to him. He accepted
the position Of Kent professor of law
at Yale and devoted much of his time
to these duties. He interested himself
in the war and warmly supported the
admipistrat ton in it's war plans. The
former presidents chief interest, how
ever, lay in Red Cross work, and his
efforts to- raise funds to care for
wounded American soldiers on the bat
tleheld were tireless.
Mr.. Taft, twenty-seventh president
of the United States, was born at Gin
cinnati in 1857, graduated at Yale in
1873 and admitted to the Ohio bar in
1880. He became circuit judge and
was also the first governor general of
the Philippine Islands. He twice de-
clined appointment as associate JUS
tice Of the United States supreme
court, but became secretary Of war In
President Roosevelt's cabinet. He was
nominated for president by the Repub-
hcan convention in Chicago in 1908 and
defeated William Jennings Bryan, the
Democratic nominee. He was renom-
mated by the Republicans in 1912, but
was defeated by Mr.. Wilson. Mr.
Roosevelt ran on the Progressive ticket
that year, having quarreled with the
former president. Since his retirement
as president Mr.. Taft held no public
office.
