No QUARTER Republicans Cry
In Their Determination To Bar
Theodore G. BilbO From Senate
Jack Arlen Is Traced Here
ByEx-Wife, Sued For $500

''The plaintiff asserts" the
complaint continues, 'that the
defendant, since the desertion,
has been married on three sub
sequent occasions" She claims
that the father made no attempt
to support the son and added
that she was unable to find him
during the time of the desertion
for the purpose of obtaining sup
port from him until approx
mately year ago, when she de-
termined he was in Key West"
The mother said that the son
went to live with his father here
and has been supported by him
since that time. She contends
that it cost her much more than
$40 a week for the years she
raised her son, but she is de-
handing that sum, a total of
$500, from the defendant, who,
she adds, lis now affluent and
is the owner of the Victory Bed
ding Co., in Key West, and con-
siderable other property
The suit was filed in Federal
court because the parties are
from different states and the
amount involved is more thar
$4,000. The defendant must an.
swer the suit within 20 days un.
der Federal laws.

7ILIBUSTER, STILL con-
TINUINC. WILL NOT
INTERFERE WITH TRU-
MANS MESSAGE; TEN
DEMOCRATS JOIN COP
AGAINST BILBO
tBy The Associated press,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-"No
quarterl"
That is the decision today of
Senate Republican leaders in
their determination not to seat
Senator Theodore G. Bilbo of
Mississippi because of his deal
ings with war contractors and his
alleged intimidation of negro vot-
ers in his home state.
Republicans feel confident that,
should the small group of south
ern senator stop their filibuster,
the senate would vote to ban Bill
bo, because 10 Democrats have
Joined with the Republicans in
opposing him.
Senators Taft and Ferguson
were quoted as having declared,
in stressing their mo quarter"
decision, that if the filibusters did
not agree, by the conclusion of
this afternoons session, to put
the Bilbo matter to a vote, that
extra sessions would be held next
week, day and night, to force the
recalcitrants to withdraw their
opposition.
Senator Morse of Oregon as
serted that the IL southern fill
busters are blocking good gov
eminent" by their attitude. He
pointed out that, if the senate
bars Bilbo, it will not be the first
time it has taken that action. In
1912, Lorimer of Illinois was
barred on a charge of having
bought votes, and in 1923 Smith
also, of Illinois, was kept out o.
1.-The senate on a charge of FRAUD
and corruption.
Outlook was that the filibuster
should it continue till Monday
4 will not interefer with Presiden
Humans presenting his message
j to- congress on the state of the
Union. Out of respect for him, il
was explained that the senate may
vote to recess long enough tc
hear the Presidents message, and
then return to the senate to con-
slider the barring of Bilbo and the
seating of IS other senators.

fields, feed lots and other locations,
the hibernating borers can be des-
troyed. The corn borer was first
in Delaware near Stock

spread to all sections of the State.
Last year checks on the extent of

stunted plants, decreased yields
