LA Toilette Case
BEFORE Committee
Proceedings of First Day Held Be-
hind Closed Doors.

Such determined argument was ad-
vanced yesterday that the Committee
on Privileges and Elections had no
grounds upon which to base a trial
for impeachment of Senator La Fol-
lette, that the committee adjourned
until today after a half hours session.
At the close of the meeting, which
was in star chamber session, Senator
Pomerene. of Ohio. said:
I'VE were simply discussing proce-
dure and will meet again tomorrow"
1t is understood that Senator Reed.
of Missouri, argued that it was i'm
possible for the committee to initiate
impeachment proceedings because no
direct legislative resolution was before
it. Opponents of this idea recalled the
instance of Senator Smoot, saying
that at that time the Committee on
Privileges and Elections itself initi-
ated the famous inquiry aimed at pre-
venting Senator Smoot from taking
his seat.
The speech made by Senator La Fol-
lette at st. Paul, together with the
resolution from the Minnesota Com
mittee of Public Safety. was presented
to the committee. One of the passa ses

Gov. j. A. Burnquist. objected most to

leans to travel on the Inflated Lusi-

New York, Oct. 3.-Virginius st.
Julian Mayo. millionaire manufacture
er of New Haven. must pay $780, 900
heart balm to Mrs. wnhelminia Mey-
er Mayo, who for twelve years er-
ronously believed herself to be his
legal wife.
A jury in the Supreme Court late
today reached this verdict after only
half an hours deliberation. Instruc-
tlons by Justice Goff regarding the
basis of the Indemnity" was disre-
sarded by the Jury.
Thus ends one phase at least of the
most sensational trial of its kind
aired in a New York court for years.
1t revolyes not around the usual loves s
triangle but. a ,sextangle.. the three
other principals being:
Mrs. Florence Weeks Mayo. of
Scranton, Pa, Mayo's legal wife. to
whom Mayo was married a quarter
OF century ago. She obtained a d.
Vorce a year ago.
Lillian May Cook, a prettq 16-year-
old stenographer in Mayo's employ,
who killed herself two years ago.
Lois Dudley, a beautiful young wo-
man residing in luxurious estab-
lishment in Brooklyn. admittedly OBJ
tained by Mayo. She was regarded
by all neighbors and friends as
Mayo's wife and her three children
as Mayo's.
In the battle of wits in which a
half score of New York's most bril-
liant lawyers were engaged, amazing
new disclosures involving several
other beautiful stenographers en-
ployed in Mayo's New Haven offices
were hinted at. Former District At
torney James w. Osborne, Mayo's
chief counsel. finally blocked intro
duction Of this alleged evidence.
Woman Tells Story.
The taking of Mrs. Meyer Mayo's
testimony was marked by dramatic
Incidents. In an impassionate appeal
to the Jury she told her story of a
shattered twelve-year dream.
Her chief ground for action was
that she had no idea either at the
time she married Mayo nor during
the twelve years of welded life that
he was legally married to another.
Her life with Mayo was very happy
indeed" she testified, until two years
ago the suicide Of the young stenog-
rapher brought about the amazing
revelations concerning Mayo. After
Mrs. Florence Weeks Mayo had OBJ
tanned divorce, Mayo refused to
lesalize his marriage to her, Mrs.
Meyer-Mayo, saying he felt obli-

FACE
Waste BASKET
Expulsion of La Toilette
Considered Beyond
Likelihood.
by TRACY HAMMOND LEWIS.

II may be said with confidence that
none of the many petitions to Con-
gress, praying-even acrimoniously
demanding-the expulsion of certain
pacifistic statesmen therein inyidi-
ously named, will be followed by the
punitive doings desired. 1t is great
ly to be doubted whether they will
escape the waste basket of the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections OF
the Senate, which meet today to con-
slider the uncomplimentary documents
relating to Senator La Toilette. OF
Wisconsin.
They will serve no other purpose
than to sound a note of warning to
Congressman inclined to be too radi-
cal in their views, that expression
during war time is distasteful to
large number of Americans.
Consideration of the case of Senator
La Toilette. was taken up by the COM
mittee, but its task was not COM
pleted. Tomorrow at 10 o'clock the
committee will continue its work, and
will decide whether the st. Paul
speech contained matter so objection
able as to warrant proceedings.
Object of the Petitions
The purpose disclosed in these petit
tions and in the movement which Is
now on foot at the other end or the
Capitol to throw out certain other
members whose public expression IN
dicate beliefs similar to those of the
Wisconsin Senator, is quite as dam
gerous in its character as Is the con-
duct of the men against whom II Is
directed.
What is being demanded by the au-
thors of the petitions now before Con-
gress, and by such persons as the
hasty Alabaman, Representative Hell
lin, is that the minority In Congress
be suppressed, that they be punished
for disagreeing with the views of the
greater number of their colleagues.
1t is assumed. without admitting the
necessity of a careful investigation,
that the man who lifts his voice
against a war measure proposed by
the administration. is guilty of trea-
son. In the same breath he is ac-
cused of receiving German gold for
his efforts although the explanation
| Is offered that even though this Is
not true, he is still deserving of ex-
pulsion.
Attack Upon Free Speech.
The means which they ADVISE Is the
virtual abolition OF free speech, and
1t is not within the realms OF pro-
bability that members Of the sena-
torial body will attempt to apply the
lid no matter how great may be their
opposition TO the views which are be-
ing expressed by this group of un-
popular pacifists.
No proof has yet been advanced
that either La Toilette. Gronna, Stone,
Reed. Norris, Cummins or Gore in the
Senate or Representatives Mason. Brit
ten or Baer in the House have not
been giving voice to the honest ex-
preston OF their views in the op-
position which they have expressed
to the methods of proposed for the
prosecution of the war. However
displeasing their opinions may be to
those whose red blood has not been
diluted by the passage of years since
1716, the mere fact that they are not

Province for Jews.
Had these Jews of Russia remain
ed in their Pale, the extension of
their rights Of residence to the vii
lagos thereof might in itself have
produced the future United
States of Russia-if not complete
ly Jewish State, at least a local
Jewish performance.
AS it is, the dispersion and chaos
of communities wrought by the old
regime in it's remorseless military
excavations make artificial meas
ures necessary to guarantee their
national culture. This is as much
a Russian as a Jewish interest, in
asmuch as moral disintegration is
apt to overtake community whose
cohesion is suddenly loosed. And
it is world-intered, since the dis
appearance of any human species,
especially of gifted human species,
is a loss to mankind.
The remedy-though national
rights on the Austrian plan would
be an admirable palliative can only
take the shape of the concession to
