about 10 days, according to Major
T.. E. Atkins, Assistant Engineer
Commissioner and chairman Of
the special trial board appointed
yesterday by the District Com
missioners.
Major Atkins said his appoint

came as surprise TO him. He
will confer with Capt. H. c..
Whitehurst, chief co-ordinating
engineer, and j. B. Gordon, sanl-
tary engineer of the District,
other members of the board. this
afternoon or tomorrow, TO ar
range for details Of the trial.
Looks For Trouble
The charges against shelby
and Kelly were drawn up today,
They were presented to the cor
poration coUnsel's office for
amending and revising IL neces-
sary by Major Henry G. Pratt,
police superintendent.
I Corporation Counsel William
w. Bride said he anticipated some
difficulty IN prosecuting the case.
While a police trial board has
authority to subpoena witnesses.
Bride said he knew of no way
by which m emberS of the grand
jury which charged Shelby and
Kelly with inefficiency can be
made to testify after they have
been called before the board.
This creation Of the special
trial board followed lengthy
consideration by the Commits
sioners of a report on the status
of Shelby and Kelly, submitted
by Bride and Assistant Engineer
Commissioner Donald A. Davi-
son.
Items In Report
The report of the Bride Dawson
board says:
ut is recommended that
charges based upon the July
Grand Jury's report be prepared
and presented for trial before o

to compel attendance Of witnesses
and that a public trial be had as
soon as is consistent with. proper
presentation of the issues.
There are involved vital ques-
tons of much greater importance

which had marked the grave of

YSENATE
VOTE

After a three year battle over
charges of slush, funds in his
primary and ballot frauds in his
election, William S. Ware, the Re
publican boss of Philadelphia, was
finally denied seat in the SEN
ate today. ~
The vote barring Ware was
So to %.
Shortly after denying Ware his
seat, the Senate also rejected the
claims of William B. Wilson to it.
Wilson, who was Secretary Of La
Dor in Woodrow Wilson's Cabinet,
was Wares Democratic opponent
in the 1926 election, and brought
a contest to the Senate, claiming
that fraud and corruption entitled
him to victor.
The net result of the Senate's
double barrelled action is to ere.

Fisher can fill by appointment.

Ware to private life even though
he won Pennsylyania's 1926 sen
atoSal election by an official
plurality of nearly 200. 900 votes.
Despite his victory at the polls
he never wore a senatorial toga.
since the Senate barred him at
it's door in March, 1927, by re
fusing him the oath Of office. {
His only personal appearance
in the chamber came Wednesday
when he went upon the floor
to make a personal plea for his
seat-a plea permitted under a
special rule of courtesy, but which
was promptly ignored by the Sen
ate. He returned today to wit
ness his defeat.
The Senate barred Ware on the
grounds of excessive expenditures
in his election, the Ware organiza-
ton having been credited with
$500, 900 of expenses in his pri-
mary three years ago, and on the
general ground Of corruption in
his election.
The basis of a futile effort to
seat Wilson as Pennsylvania
first Democratic Senator in mod
ern history, was revealed by Sen
ator Bratton CD of New Mexico.
He declared Wilson was legally
elected by plurality Of $4,000,
if the Senate would throw out
900 election districts in Pittsburgh
and Philadelphia, where the vote
had been tainted" by fraud, cor
ruption or technical irregularity.
The futility of the Wilson
maneuver became apparent when
Bratton, under questioning, adj
mitted this would include S37
