FRENCH SOCIALISTS
CAPTURE SSEATS
Senatorial Election, How
ever, Fails to Alter Stu
alton Materially.

PARIS, January 10.-Full returns
from yesterdays senatorial elections
in France show slight swing to the
Left, but not sufficient to affect the
general political situation materially
or influence the fortunes of the
Poincare government.
The honors of the day went to the
Socialists, who won eight seats at
the expense of the Moderates. The
Communists succeeded for the first
time in getting representation in the
upper house, capturing two seats.
Otherwise, the composition of the
Senate is unmodified, 67 of the out =
going senators being reelected.
The success of NJ. Peret and the
failure of NJ. De Selves deprive both
the Senate and Chamber of their
presidents. NJ. De Selves has been
president of the Senate and M. Peret
of the Chamber.
Contrary to first reports, Louis
klotz, former minister in the Glenn
enceau cabinet and Signer of the
Versailles treaty, was elected. For
mer President Millerand, who ran
Independently when he failed to get
on his party ticket, was defeated
Among those returned were Louis
Barthou NJ. CaillauX, Leon Berard
Victor DalbieZ, Justin Godart, Jules
PANS, Paul Dupuy and Pierre Laval,
former ministers.

LINCOLN, Neb., January TO-
The famous anti sheik BILL
which makes alienation of the af-
fections of husband or wife a
felony, punishable by either fine
or Imprisonment or both, will be
reintroduced in the present Ne

The bill failed of passage at the
last session.
This bill is no joke" Senator
Cooper said. IF a penalty were
placed on the practice of shelks
stealing the love of wife and
these vamps stealing the love Of
a husband there would be less
alienation suits"
"A man or woman does not
hesitate to attempt to ALLEVIATE
affections because there is no
penalty. except possibly a civil
suit. There would be less homes
broken up if this practice were
made a criminal offense."

no intention of giving I'M. On the other
hand, the manufacturers show no sign
of weakening ard 1t is expected the pre-
sent situation will be prolonged lndeh-
nitely.
During the Christmas holidays The
strike committee distributed $1,000
among the strikers, which sum was re-
ceived from Free Federation heaGquaT-
tiers at Tampa. However. aside from
this, no financial aid has been offered
the men and women now on Strike eX-

strikers who are members Of the Inter

These men, in turn, each contribute 81
per week for the aid Of their comrades.
Although the couciti0n of many of the
strikers is depiorable, Rivera Martinez
states they will never return 10 work
until the company makes q satisfactory
agreement based on their demands.
