As Mrs. FELTON, Fights for Toga

Senator Tillman. Mr. Marshall held
that Mr.. Benet ceased to be a senator
under the law after a successor to
Mr.. Tillman had been elected by the
people of South Carolina.
Should Mrs. FELTON, be seated. il was
the statute. which provides for the be-
ginning of the salary Of a senator elected
to flll an unexpired term on the day OF
his election. Mrs. Felton's friends de-
clared the salary was not considera-
tion-that, as she herself had stated.
it was her sole desire to blaze the road
for the womanhood Of America" to a
Senate place.
Friends Split ON Advice.
There were reports that some Of Mrs.
Felton's friends might undertake to per-
row and thus avoid the embarrassment
that would result from an objection to
her succeeding Mr.. Watson. On the
other hand. still others of her friends,
1t was said. were urging her to adhere
to the purpose which brought her on
the 7s0.mile journey from Cartersville.
Mrs. FELTON, holds that whether she
is seated she has cleared the way for
the service of women in the Senate by
the fact of her appointment to that
body. This appointment came soon
after the adjournment of Congress late
in September and thus she was una BILE
to take her seat at that time.

the plans for indictments. ITO testi-
fly against John Doe, Richmond Roe

Although it has been previously be-

asked for two men and woman, the

Whether this was through oversight
or because the prosecution has de-

make demand for his seat Monday.
Mr. George has announced that he
