while all senate business was sus-
pended.
Joseph T. Robinson, Democratic
leader, often has complained about
buzz of conversation among SEN
ators interfering with those who
had the floor.
Today he could stand it no long
er. He stopped all business and
called for the sergeant alarms to
enforce order on the floor.
Messengers went scurrying out to
try to find Jurney. Five minutes
passed. Jurney still could not be
found.
"Is there a deputy sergeant-at-
armS?' Robinson asked.
More waiting.

His demand was made in his

he founded in 1914, when the World

piece that was to lead him to the
heights of power.
In an editorial, branding the
diplomatic visits as H'circuit, he
