WONT MODEST SENATOR
SoIons Not Disposed to Notice
Opposition to La Toilette.
Seditious Speech Must be Made on
Floor of Senate to Receive Atten-
ton of Legislators.

Washington, Oct. at is improb.
able that Senator La Toilette will be
called to account for his unpatriotic
address at st. Paul, September 20, un
less some member on his own re-
sponsibility introduces a resolution to
unseat the Wisconsin senator.
The feeling is general among mem.
bers that no cognizance should be
taken of outside resolutions. such as
the one by the Minnesota Public
Safety commission which was submit.
ted to the Senate today by Senator
Frank b. Kellogg.
There is a sentiment here that the
Senate should hold its members to
account only for what they say before
that body.
This rule prevailed in the Civil war.
1t was said hundreds of messages and
letters have been received by senators
from their constituents demanding
that La Toilette be expelled.
Senator Pomerene of Ohio, chair
nan of the committee on privileges
and elections, to which the Minnesota
resolution, a report of La Follette's
st. Paul speech and four other mes
sages relating to La Toilette we're re.
ferred, however, said that a meeting
will be held as 500 as he can get "a
quorum.
So many senator's are away that he
expressed fear that this may not be
before the regular session in December.

Another Air Raid on the British
Metropolis Is Made by
Night.
3 MACHINES D0WNED
Ten Planes Reach Outer Defenses but
Are Driven on by Anti-Aircraft
Guns-Casualties Not
Reported.

London, Oct. 2.-Persistent but I'M
confirmed rumors say that three enc
my machines were brought down in
a late raid wei the London district by
German airmen.
While there was a bright moon there
was also a slight mist and airplanes
were invisible to persons in the streets,
but from the sounds of the anti-air-
Graf. guns in action the indications
were that the raiders were moving
over various quarters of the district.
Field Marshal Lord French reports
that two groups of enemy machines,
followed by others flying singly, cross
ed the Kent and Essex coasts between
6 40 and 8 o'clock. They came toward
London. About 10 penetrated the ont
er d~efenses, but only four or FIVE
got through to London itself.
Warnings Quickly Needed.
In the expectation of nightly raids.
the streets of London were much less
crowded than ordinarily. A majority
of the people went early to their
homes and the services in the church
es were held at 5 instead of I o'clock.
Hence. when the warning was issued,
the streets were quickly cleared.
Eleven persons were killed and 50
injured in the previous nights air
raid, 1t is announced officially. The
material damage was not great.
Four Groups Of Airplanes.
Four groups of German airplanes
attempted to attack London in the last
raid, but most Of the machines were
driven on. Bombs were dropped In
the northeastern and southeastern
districts of London and at various
places in Kent and Essex. The fol
lowing official report issued:
--latest reports show that a determ-
ined and simultaneous attack was
made upon London by three groups of
raiders. Each of these groups, which
approached from different directions,
was broken up by anti-aircraft gunfire
and only two or at the most three ma
chimes penetrated the defenses. Bombs
were dropped in the northeastern and
southeastern districts. A fourth group
of enemy machines which attempted to
approach London later was driven of.
none Of the raiders penetrated the
outer defenses of the capital.
Bombs also were dropped at vari-
GUS places in Kent and Essex"
