brought overland by railroad to the

Carroll heard a commotion In the
loft and went out to investigate.
He saw the pirates vessel along
side the pier. Eighteen men were
lowering bales and cases into it
from the loft above. Carroll called
on MEM to throw up their hands.
Instead they tumbled into the boat,
pulled down the ladder and showed
off, one of them engaging Carols

emptied his pistol into the escaping
boat and heard a cry Of agony.
The entire band then opened fire
on him.

PARTY ROW
ON OVER
STICK
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

Dy UEONGE ns IOLH EO
Iowa has a Democrat in the
Senate today for the first time
since the civil war, and . politi-
cal storm is brewing that may
have a far-reaching effect On
Coolidge control of the next Sem
ate.
The ousting of Smith w. Brook
hart, Republican-Insurgent, and
the seating of his Democratic
opponent, Daniel F. Steck, after
tive years, left a trail Of bad
feeling and resentment on both
sides of the Senate chamber.
Party lines were split wide open
on the vote, with Republican
arrayed against Republican and
Democrat against Democrat.
Progressives In Arms
The Republican progressives from
the West were up in arms today.
They supported Brookhart almost
to a man. and most of them e
up for reelection.
There was talk about the Senate
today OF a revolt" against Sen
ator William NJ. Butler of Massa-
chusetts. chairman OF the Repub-
Ncan national committee. Who
worked for the seating of Steck.
but whether it will get anywhere
remains TO be seen.
Brookhart's friends expect that
he will Immediately return to Iowa
and enter the primary against Sen
ator Albert B. Cummins, who is UP
for reelection.
His friends also say he will de-
feat Cumn1ins, a stalwart Admin.
istration supporter.
His enemies say that IL he does,
Iowa will send another Democrat
10 the Senate in November.
IT is a situation that the Demo
Gratis contemplate with great
deal of satisfaction.
Irrespective, however, OF the
Iowa embroglio, which promises to
be one of the biggest spectacles OF
the political year, the seating or
stock leaves the Republicans with
a majority of but fourteen In the
Senate, which means that IL the
democrats can capture eight seats
from the Republicans this fall they
will control the next Senate.
This lis not as large a task as
hppears on the surface. There are
a. seats in the Senate at stake In
this years election, and of this
number only seven are Democratic
All seven are from the solid south.
where the most sanguine Repu6l-
can can hope for nothing. TINS
leaves IS Republican seats at stake,
and all save a few Of them are
considered doubtful territory.
Thus, the Republicans can gain
nothing. and they may lose control
of the Snate, for they admit they
cannot hope to win every one OF 20
fights.
In the Snate Hobbies and cloak
room today the defeat Of Brook
hart was attributed to three pri:
mary causes: ~ the activity OF
Senator Butler, who is looked upon
as the White House spokesman,
(2) the activity of Hanford Mac
Nider, assistant Secretary Of War,
who was able to bring American
Legion pressure against the Iowa
insurgent despite Brookhart's being
q veteran Of three wars, and ~ the
opposition Of the Ku Klux Khan.
