Republican and all of them will stand
for denomination and a majority OF
them will have opposition.
Two prospective candidates for the

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Senator
Willis. Republican. Ohio, classed as
one of the doubtful senators in the
Newberry election contest, today Of
fered an amendment to the Republican
report which holds Newberry entitled
to his seat. The amendment sets
forth t he expenditure of such large
sums by relatives or friends of can
ddate with or without his consent was
contrary to public policy and danger,
Gus to the perpetuation OF free govern

condemned and disapproved.
When the amendment was present.
ed. Senator King, Democrat, of Utah,
asked if Senator Willis would carry
it to its logical conclusion and say
that, in view of such expenditures, Sen
ator Newberry is not entitled TO his
seat
MY amendment speaks for Itself,
and We will meet that when we get
to it." Senator Willis replied.
Democratic Stand
Whether Republican supporters of
Newberry would succeed in bringing
the question to vote today appeared
to depend largely on the decision of
Democratic opponents as to whether
they would carry out the plan to move
recommital of the whole case to the
senate elections and privileges COM

Informal conferences were arranged
among the Democrats before the SEN
ate met to reach a final decision on

sent agreement sought by the New

Constable Hudson was on hearing.
Mr.. Burke had continually made OBJ

again.

GOLD PLATE REPLACES RIBS
German With Expensive Metal in His
Interior Is Closely Protected
Against Criminals.

Berlin.-A young man with ribs of
gold and platinum is working in
cigarette factory ut Breslau.
When he was lock ksmith's apprent-
ice several years ago he fell from the
roof of house and was badly ill.,
.ured. He was taken to a hospital
where the doctors found that his skull
was fractured and all his ribs but one
were broken. The youth was in the
hospital for no less than four and a
half years. and finally the surgeons
undertook to repair or replace his
shattered ribs.
A metal plate was inserted in his
skull and the fractured bones We're
replaced by ribs of gold and platinum.
Two and a half years later the man
was able to leave the hospital, and
since then he has been working in a
cigarette factory. In view of the
present value of gold and platinum, II
Is evident that he Is carrying about in
his body quite considerable amount
of wealth, and it Is stated that special
measures are being taken to protect
him against criminals.
