SMITH CASE NOW SURE
 TO BECOME LONG FIGHT
Republicans and Democrats Disagree Over Procedure to Be Fol-
 lowed Out

Washington, Jan. LP-Hope Of ayerting a long wordy clash, with embellishments from musty pre- cedents, over the seating of Frank l.. Smith as senator from Illinois, has completely vanished with the de- cedure sbetween republican leaders and democrats interested in the case.
 Reinforcements are being brought up by both sides, but there is no tell ing when the battle will begin until Smith himself makes known definite ly when he plans to appear with his credentials.
 The fight is expected to be waged around the question whether Smith, appointed by Governor Small 10 fill the uneXpired term of the late Sena- tor Mckinley, should be seated and then his qualifications investigated or whether he should be refused the oath pending an election committee inquiry into his primary eNpendi- lures.
 Majority chieftains who were op- posed to Smith accepting the ap- pointment in the first place because of their fear of a clash over contri- buttons made to his campaign fund by public utilities officials, have been counting on temporarily seating him while his credentials are being in vestigated but democratic leaders have threatened their plans by com ing out for barring the appointee un- til the elections committee has in- vestigated and made a report. Indications of the impending fight over Smith were given in the senate yesterday when, after sharp de- bate, it referred to the elections committee the credentials of Senator Nye, republican, North Dakota, whose election has not been in con troversy.

BABY THELMA AT LYCEUM

Baby Thelma. the child prodigy of vaudeville and known the country over as a mind reader extraordinary, is at the Lyceum all this week giv- ing demonstrations at every per 1ormance and also essaying to make private answers to questions pro- pounded. Thelma Wells, native of this city. is her right name and her return to her home town is proving a success.
 The feature photoplay is "The Nervous Wreck" Al Christie's con- cdy success which stars Harrison Ford, Chester Conklin, Phyllis Ha- yer, Hobart Bosworth and Mack Swain.

There, however, he decided he wanted to live after all and, of course, a pretty girl plays big part in the drama. There's scream in every reel.
