Frank E. Putnam of Blue Earth
has filed for senator from his dis

else might want to make the race.
And we very much doubt his filing at

numerous home friends and outside
senatorial companions of late years.

HOMER NEWS NOTES

Who says Homer isn't growing? We now have full fledged money order postoffice; from September first. The supplies arrived on the last boat. One
 more step to- progress.
 D. c. A. Pollard shipped eight pair of fine blue foxes to Dr. I. F. Burgin, manager of the Grand Mesa Silver and Blue Fox Go. on the Watson. They are above the average blue fox and show the quality of the foxes raised on Herschel Island.
 Mrs. c. w. Harrington and daughter Mary Jane made short business trip to Seldovia recently. There is much progress being made in Seldovia in the building line. G. M. Chambers is building a large cannery in front of his mercantile store and expects to have it in operation next spring. Bob Mcintosh has started a rooming house in the old Johansen house. One can not but stop and look at the wonder full flowers which Mrs. M. E. Shortley has planted just in flower boxes, it will be hard to find larger or more beautiful flowers anywhere. This dis play certainly adds to the looks of the street and credit to the town.
 MT. and Mrs. John Sholin and family and Mrs. Sholin's sister, Mrs. Erwin and son, were outgoing passengers on the last Watson.
 Mr. and Mrs. James Stryker are wis iting their daughter Mrs. Archie Nc Lane at Kusiloff. Mrs. McLane ex- poets to show some foxes in the An chorage Fair this fall.

 The Colberg brothers have opened a unch and cigar counter to be used in connection with the dances held in the Jim Linder' hall. It is good cOmbina- ion and should bring in bit of rev. nue for the boys.

SENTIMENT SWINGS
TO SEATING SMITH
Changed Attitude Declared
Not Confined Alone to
Republicans.

Sentiment is crystallizing among
leaders of the Senate in favor Of seat
ing Col. Frank L. Smith Immediately
upon the presentation of his creden-
tials as Senator from Illinois, under
appointment of Gov. Small to
fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Senator William B. Mckinley. 1t
developed today. Nor is this sent1-
ment confined to Republicans. Wheth-
er the sentiment will grow strong
enough to swing a majority OF the
Senate in favor of this course remains
to be seen. But influential Senators
of both parties now in Washington
said they believed 1t to be the orderly
course and should be followed.
If it is followed, then an investiga-
ton by the Senate privileges and
elections committee, or further an
vestigation by the Reed slush fund
committee, probably will be made
with the understanding that prompt
report should be made. and the SEN
ate then decide whether Col. smith
is qualified to retain his seat or not.
Those who would halt Smith at the
door and deny him the right to be
sworn in hold that the Senate,
through the Reed committee, already
has investigated Col. Smith and found
that he benefited from contributions
to his primary campaign by Samuel
insult and other utility magnates and
that the expenditures for him In tnat
campaign were large.
The contention of those leaders who
believe in seating Smith and then
passing upon his qualifications does
not necessarily mean they believe he
should be allowed to retain his seat,
But they contend that a man who
presents himself with the proper Gre
dentials is entitled to be seated. To
do otherwise would be to deny full
right to the States to send Senator's
to Washington.
One Democratic Senator said today
that he believed If Smith were seated
upon his arrival here after thess heli--
days, he would continue in Office until
the close of the present session of
Congress. That is what some of his
opponents fear. and explains in part
their desire to halt him at the door
of the Senate.

Motion.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Md, December 81
A new trial was granted today to
Richard H. Rule, convicted recently
of the killing Of William j. Barbee,
jr., at club near Burnt Mills, Md,
Halloween night.
Judges Worthington and Peter an
nounced their agreement following
several conferences. and Rule was al
lowed $1,000 bail. The case will be
docketed again, rs If it had not been
tried, and a date set.
The motion for new trial, argued
last week, was based on the grounds
that questions calculated to prejudice
the jury were asked by the prose-
cutting attorney during the trial Of
Rule, and other grounds. Judge
Worthington had been opposed to the
motion.
Rule was convicted of manslaugh-
ter. Evidence had been given that he
shot Barbee when the latter arrived
at the club, Of which he was in charge,
with a party of young friends. and an
argument arose when some one re-
marked upon seeing Rule in Scotch
clothes. "Oh, see the jolly Scotch
man" Several blows were struck and
it was claimed by the defense that the
firing was accidental. Rule lives in
Washington, as did Barbee.
