SENATORS
OBJECT TO
MUZZLINC
Plan to Confine De-
bates to Single Ques-
tion at Time Ruffles
Solons
By L. A Fernsworth

Washington, Jan. 31-Sena
torial dignity has been ruffled by
the suggestion that Senatorial 10
Quacity be muzzled.
"Mr President, in connection
with this resolution to investi-
gate the explosion on the battle
ship So-and-So, ] wish to remind
the Senate that the nut crop in
the west is facing the first crisis
in its history"
That kind of speech sounds like
it was lifted from the opera
comique, but 1t is not at all a
far-fetched parody on the kind OF
speeches spectators In the Senate
galleries are often startled to
hear enunciated on the floor.
And the suggestion that SEN
atorial loquacity be muzzled
simply means that certain sena-
tors think speeches of that sort
ought to be stopped.
Senator Jones, republican, of
Washington, threw the bomb into
the camps OF his colleagues when
he introduced a resolution pro-
vidlng for an amendment to the
Senate rules to read:
Debate shall be confined to
the question under consideration
unless otherwise provided by
unamimous consent" ...- 49,.
Under present rules q senator
Is privileged to talk on any sub
5ect under the sun any time he
can get the recognition of the
chair. That is what is called
Senatorial courtesy.
Can Change Topics Now
And very often a senator who
has made his mind to speak on
a certain subject will receive rec
ognition during the progress of
hot debate on another subject
and side track the whole topic
that was under consideration for
hours.
A recent incident shows how
this works out. During a debate
On the Newberry case an agree
ment was reached to suspend the
discussion on certain date and
proceed to the discussion of an
,ther subject. A certain senator
1t the time set Tor stopping the
iebate, raised a point of order
md insisted upon his right to an
additional discussion OF the sub
ect.
After a lengthy wrangle the
hair ruled against him and di- 9
'ected the clerk to call up the {
iubject set for consideration at n
he time. AS soon as the subject [
vas called up the senator who h
lad protested against being cut q
If secured recognition. h
He made a brief reference to =
he new topic anG then launched =
nto a new speech on the New .
erry case. Technically the other :,
lbject was before the senate and =
theoretically the senator was dis
ussing 1t, but actually he was D
the Newberry case and y
here wasn't a way in the world II
. stop him.
Old time members OF the senate.
Tho are great stickers for the
Id time prerogatives of senators,
re sure to buck" and buck"
ard, the attempt to muzzle them
ut a group of the newer sena- o
1rs have declared their willing 81

MUST PRODUCE WILL
 TO MAKE IT BINDING
Supreme Court of Errors Makes Inn portant Ruling in Matter of
 Destroyed Document.

New Haven, Aug. 1.-The supreme court of errors has sustained Judgc Gilson of the probate court here in ruling that all former wills are no, revoked when q will Is not produced, but proved as to its making ana which contained a revocatory clause
 The case was that of Mrs. Poeger who lived here and left an estate of si+0,ooo. She drew a will in 1918 two years before her death. In tha, will she revoked former wills. But the 1918 will was not in court. The opin- ion was held that she had destroyed it. The 1914 will which she had made was produced and counsel for con- testants claimed that this will should not be probated because all wills had been revoked in the 1918 will Judge Gilson admitted the 1914 will
 Because of the decision of the highest court the will of John J.. Cannon. an earlier one, was admitted to probate today although 1t was known that a later will had been de. stroyed. This case had been held up pending decision in the Ploeger case.
