troll of the senate and threatens the
domination the republicans have had
over the house since the Coolidge
landslide two years ago. With the
makeup of the seventeen congress
virtually complete, tho democrats
have captured seven of the nine
places constituting tho republican
majority in the senate, thus leaving
the balance of power there in the
little group of insurgents elected un-
der the republican banner.
BY taking 13 seats so far from the
republicans in the house, the demo-
Gratis have brought about an align
ment under which the insurgent group
there might be able to take the
upper hand in the working control
of that body.
Besides the gains in congress, the
democrats have won the governor
ship of two normally republican
states, South Dakota and Colorado,
taking control of the highest office
in South Dakota for the first time in
a quarter of u century.
On the other rand, the democrats
lest the governorship OF oregon, are
threatened with the loss of that in
Wyoming and their cand dates in
Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico are
finding the going any thing but easy.
The last senatorial contest to be
settled was that in Observation-Disclosures
w. Steiwer, republican, winning. The
republicans also have returned sem
ators James e. Watson and Arthur
r. Robinson i'll Indiana; Tasker L
eddie in Nevada, and Samuel M.
Shcrtridge in California.
The republican seat contested by
former Governor Sweet of Colorado,
apparently had been won by Charles
w. Waterman, who had lead OF
approximately 1900 with less than
80 precincts still to report out of a
total of 1851.
Belated returns trickling in dur
ing the day showed that the demo
Gratis had unhorsed Senators Richard
T.. Ernst in Kentucky; Ralph H. Cam
eron in Arizona; George II. Williams
in Missouri and o. e. Weller in Mary
land
These were in addition to James
w. Wadsworth, Jr., WHO was en-
quilted in the Smith tidal wave in
New York; William M. Butler, per-
sonal friend of President Coolidge,
who was overwhelmed by David I.
Walsh in Massachusetts, and John w.
Harreld in Oklahoma, where the dem.
ocrats regained d control lost in the
Harding landslide in 1920.
The democratic candidate IN Ore
gon, Bert e. Haney lost to Frederick
w. Steiwer, regular republican. Ser
ator Robert N. Stanfield, defeated for
denomination, was running as an in
dependent.
With Steiwer victor the republic
cans will have only 48 seats in the
senate after they have filed the
vacancy in Maine, caused by the
death of Senator Bert NJ Ferna1d
The democrats will have Al with the
other seat held by Henrick snIpstead,

Included among the republican 4S
are three Insurgents who won handily

The shooting lasted more than half

The party rushed into limousine
and drove off,
Under The law the trial by jury
must start within 60 days.
The five weeks of preliminary
hearing ended as they had COM
menced, in a torrent of bitter de-
nunciation from the attorneys.
w. I. Gilbert, chief of defense
counsel, whose son, William, was
dangerously injured in an atomo-
bile accident at San Matco today,
showed in his low, uncertain voice
as he opened his argument, the sor-
row which he carried into court. But
the biting sarcasm and barbed in
nuendo OF District Attorney Keyes
aroused him to the fighting pitch
that characterized his conduct of the
defense, and he struck back with
verbal blow for blow, concluding
with denunciatior of "this damn
able prosecution"
He accused Keyes of being actu-
ated by motives other than duty in
leading the prosecution, and declared
the county official was seeking only
to strip this woman of her good
name"
Keyes, in his argument, branded
the fugitive Ormiston "a coward, hid
ing and Sinking, afraid to come be-
fore the court, his co-defendant and
the world"
AS to the witness Superior Judge
Carlos S. Hardy, who swore on the
stand in reply to a direct question
that he believed Mrs. McPherson's
kidnapping narrative, he declared: "It
outrages the intelligence of human
being to have a man or woman take
the witness stand and state to this
court under oath that he believes the
silly story told by this woman"
Turning toward where the avange-
list sat beside her mother in the
front row of the crowded little court
room, the district attorney pointed
his finger at her and branded her
"perjurer.
lit was crime" he asserted, for
Mrs Mcpherson to come before the
grand jury and tell the story she
did. She committed perjury.
"It was no crime to go to Carmel.
No acts of the defendants up to that
time concern the prosecution. There
may have been violation of the
rooming house ordinance of Monte
rey county, but this county is con-
cerned with a charge far beyond
that"
A bitter attack upon District At
torney Asa Keyes on his prosecution
of the case and q vitrolic assault on
the character and reputation of Mrs.
Wiseman, the states star witness,
featured a lengthy statement issued
by Mrs Mcpherson tonight.
The statement read, in part:

Favorable crop prospects in Argen-

quotations in Liverpool, counted also
as a bearish factor in the wheat mar
ket here. In this connection particular
notice was taken of announcement that
wheat cutting in some districts of Ar

weakness of values at Liverpool was
also ascribed to strike settlement indi-

Gold Beating as Of Yore

For 80 centuries gold leaf has been
made In one way, and the yellow
metal that is used on store windows
end office doors is identical with that
which gilded the throne Of Pharaoh.
Small crumbs of gold placed be,
tween layers of parchment, called
Eoldbeaters' skins, were beaten inter.
minably with mallets. AS the gold
spread under the blows it was cut,
put between more skins and laborious-
" beaten again. for days and weeks
until one grain Of the precious metal,
weighing about one five-hundredth Of
an ounce, became an almost impalp-
able sheet Of 40 square inches. The
cost of the labor greatly outweighed
the cost of the gold. says the New
York Herald.Tribune.
Electro-chemistry has now entered
the field and a new process recently
invented promises to make gold leaf
far less expensive. Upon a ribbon Of
thin silver a film Of gold Is cleo.

is later recovered. and leaves the gold

Like all residents of the vast coun-

almost every country in the world,
and they have made several previous
visits to the United States. They
have been particularly interested in
their visit to Washington and they
drove about, examining the ground
plans and the grouping of the public
buildings as much as their limited
soiourn permitted. New South Wales
Is planning q political capital, just as
Washington is, and proposes divorc'
ing the commercial and industrial
interests from it.
About the opening Of the present
century, the government acquired a
tract Of 900 square miles which 1t
called Canberra, and on this a capital
city is being built with practically the
same ground plan as L'Enfant drew
for the Capital City of this Republic.
In May OF the coming year the far-
lament Of New South Wales will
convene in Canberra and hereafter
sydney and the many flourishing and
populous cities of the state will be
commercial centers alone. But the
governmental building plans will be
worked out slowly. The Parliament
halls are only temporary and the per.
manent buildings will appear only
after the most exhaustive and
iaborious examination Of the entire
situation.
Sir Hugh and Lady Denison are
members of the Church of England

activities in their home. They are
both of genial and approachable man
ner and will be valuable acquisitions
