Washington, January 31.-Senator Kenyon of Iowa, leader of the dis cussed agricultural bloc and chair man of the Senate labor committee. was named today by President Hard- ing to be circuit judge for the Eighth circuit. Immediately after receipt of the nomination. the Senate confirmed it unanimously in open ses- sion.
 At the White House it was said that the President had appointed MT. Kenyon to succeed the late Judge Walter ]. Smith because of his high regard for the senator'I ability and because of the latters known desire to have a place on the federal bench Senator Kenyon, In a formal state ment later, also said the President when a member of the Senate, knew of his dislike for politics and his love for the law
 In the Senate Senator Harrison democrat. Missis issippi after confirm atian had been voted, said that while he was confident that the appoint, mont of MT Kenyon was becallse oi the latter's eminent qualification the question would arise throughout the agricultural sections IS to whether the selection was not intended tC drive wedge into, and ultimately destroy, the agricultural bloc. Sena- tor Heflin. democrat. Alabama, de- clared that with the Kenyon appoint ment the drive to break the agricul- tural bloc has been started"
 Senator Kenyon does not plan to quit the Senate until probably the middle of February. By that time he expects passage of the Cappel CO., operative marketing bill, in which he is vitally interested and with which he has had much to do as leader of the agricultural bloc.
 Senator Borah of Idaho is next Tn the republican line on the labor com mittee ana if the Senate rule of sen iority, so long established is foI' lowed in this case. Mir. Borah will head the committee. The election oi the committee chairman. however rests with the committee on com mtttees.

MAJORITIES FOR. BOTH AMENDMENTS. ARE OVERWHELMING.
All Four Measures Voted on in Jefferson County Ap- proved by Large
 MajoritleS

Both the proposed amendments to the state constitution, authorizing the issuance of s25, 5,O00,o in high way bonds, and providing for the ex- smptiOn of former service men from payment of poll tax until October 1, 1923, were ratified by the electorate of Alabama by overwhelming ma }orfttss at the polls Monday, unoffi- cial returns from all sections of the state indicate.
 The majority in favor of the two amendments will probably reach 10 to ], sna in many counties the majority was even larger. Geneva is the only county in the state reporting thus far that has returned a majority against tho bond amendment. and not Q single county has voted against the poll tax exemption amendment.
 Additional returns from outlying precincts in Jefferson county show the issues voted upon st the special election Monday to have carried by large majoritiex with decreasing proportion as returns come in.
 Ths 16 to 1 ratio in favor of the state good roads bond issue in the former election on this issue appears to have dwindled down to a 12 to 1 ratio at the best in Jefferson county.
 The soldiers poll tax exemption amendment carried at about the same ratio. with the reports giving indi- cations that practically all who voted against the bond issue also opposed the poll tax exemption for ex-service men.
 The two county issues carried comfortably, but with less propor- ton of favor than the state Issues. The vote indicates that the small vote which turned out was an intelligent vote. there being nearly 1000 more votes cast in favor of the state bond issue than the county issues. indi- eating that voters did not blindly vote yes on all questions, but weighed each issue separately.
 Returns from e4 boxes in the city show the following:
 State $25, 900. 900 bond issue: For ses7. against s62.
 Soldier exemption of poll tax: For S,401, against TIA.
 For :2,ooo,Ooo county bonds: For T,S41, against, 1,4S6.
 For s1.o0o.0oo county bonds: For s,soz, against, 1.601.

 In the Senate republican leaders frustrated attempts by the democrats to add the bonus bill to the allied debt refunding measure. After 8 brief but heated debate. the Senate adopted. AZ to 2s. motion by Sen ator Watson, republican, Indiana, to lay on the table an amendment of- fered by Senator Simmons. democrat. North Carolina, incorporating tha "five-way" adjusted compensation plan.
 The amendment would have pro vided that the bonus be paid out of the interest on the feroign debt, and that If this should prove insufficient the Secretary of the Treasury should issue certificates of indeb ebtedness to be redeemed out of future interest payments or with the approval of the President to sell so much of the for eign bonds as might be necessary.
 Rejected by Senate
 Later the Senate rejected, 42 to 2l, an amendment by Senator Jones, democrat, New Mexico. which car : ried the 'fiveway" plan, but had no provision for raising funds.
 In offering his amendment Senator Simmons declared that when he had proposed the bonus bill as an amend ment to the tax revision measure he had been told that 1t was the desire of the majority to act on the bonus in connection with the debt refunding bill, but now the republicans had decided in party conference that tn. bonus measure should be acted upon separately.
 The North Carolina senator went on to say that the administration had now decided that it would not b. feasible to use the interest on the foreign debt for this purpose, and Il was the plan instead to lay new and special taxes.

Court Robbed of Imposing Timepieee

The sitting was well under way
when man In working clothes entered
the courtroom with long ladder
which he calmly placed under the

The judge, counsel. accused and spec.

explained that he merely wanted to get
the clock for repair and that II would

objected, but consented when the man
said he already had called six times

INVENTION or THE EVIL ONE
Fork Was So Considered in 1850 and
Woman Who Used One incurred
Heavens Wrath.

Investigations made as to the ex-
act period ahen people gave up eating
with their fingers and resorted to
forks have failed to give definite re-
suits.
1t is known, however, that, in the
year 1850, in Constantinople, the
daughter-in-law of Orseleolo, doge of
Venice, used a fork = convey food
from plate to mouth and thereby
greatly seandalized the faithful who
appear to have considered this innO-
walton as an invention of the evil one,
says LIE Petit Parisien, Paris. (Trans-
lated for the Kansas City Starr
Saint Peter Damien relates the af-
fair with considerable pious indigna-
ton and, after explaining how the
Venetian princess made use of lit
tie gold fork instead Of eating with
her fingers. adds:
"But the Almighty Father made
known TO this woman how odlous to
Him was her vanity, and His wrath
was made manifest unto her, so that,
brandishing over her head the blade
of divine justice, He straightway
caused every part of her body to rot
away"
All this for the heinous crime Of
using a fork! AS a matter Of sober
fact, the doge's daughter-in-law and
her husband were carried off in the
great plague of 1880 among the vic
tins of which, 1t may safely be said,
were many of the faithful who ate
with their fingers.
