USEFULNESS OF
SENATE APPARENT
Lack of Cloture Proved a Good
Thing,
PREVENTS HASTY ACTIONS.
Had Senate Rule of Reason Allowing
Deliberate Discussions Not Existed
Army and Navy Schools Might Have
Been Abolished Bad Immigration
Laws Might Have Passed.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
"Washington, Jan. 27. Special.
The reformers who would abolish the
senate should, before carrying out their
plans, stop, look and listen. In the
first place, they could not do It, but
that is a mere bagatelle to real reform
ers, and, In the second and third and
on to the tenth, they would not abolish
the senate when they knew all about
It and the fact that Its deliberative
manner und lack of cloturo have been
a good thing for the people.
Nearly every reformer who first en
ters the senate declares the lack of
cloture, by which any measure can bu
brought to a voto as In the house, most
absurd. Mighty few men who have kept
their Intellects intact have remained for
a term of six years without coming to
the conclusion that lock of cloture nnd
the power of n minority to defeat legis
lation is the best safeguard the nation
possesses. Much bad legislation, much
Injustice, would be enacted if the same
Impetuous and 111 considered methods
adopted In the house prevailed In tho
senate.
Rule of Reason.
Some ten years ago, when there was
a great hue and cry about hazing at
the Military and Naval academies, the
house rushed a measure through which
was so drastic, so Immature, so 111 con
sidered, that It would have practically
closed up the institutions. In tho clos-
lng hours of one session the senato dis
cussed It, reasoned about It, suggested
modifications and finally sent It back
to the house a sane measure.
Doubtful Immigration legislation
would have been passed without this
rule of reason in the senate. And,
upon the whole, It may be Just as well
to keep the senate for a time, even If
the reformers seem to think it stands
In tho way of advancement.
The Point of View.
You can't divorce locality from
statesmanship. During the discussion
of the army bill there several times
arose the subject of the present lncon
grous condition of the army on account
of Its scattered stations and lack of
tactical instruction. But In every dis
cussion the matter of locality cropped
out For instance, Anthony of Kansas
insisted that it would be more economi
cal for the army to be centered In some
point nearly midway between the
oceans, where It could be transported
quickly In either direction to meet any
emergency.
Anthony lives near Fort Leaven
worth and Fort Riley, which is near
the center of tho producing belt of sup
plies. Mondell of Wyoming thought
the army should bo retained In army
posts among the people. There nre two
or three army posts lu Wyoming.
Helm of Kentucky Insisted that the
army should be kept In posts conven
lent to the seaconsts, where it could be
used when wanted. This Kentucky
man did not seem to bo seeking any
advantages for his section in this de
mand. Not For the Cadets.
The West Point cadets have been a
feature of every Inauguration, but by
a point of order recently made in the
house they are to be debarred from
tho Wilson inauguration. Four years
ago the cadets literally cut their way
to Washington. When they reached
Baltimore tho snow blockado was such
that no trains could be operated.
Those West Point boys went out on a
train and cut down trees, romoved ob
structious and cleared forty miles of
railroad track, so that not only they, but
many thousands of people, could come
to tho inauguration. This year they
are to be shut out on account of the
cost of transportation.
S mo of 8 Troubles.
Senator Smoot, in charge of the sen
ate, has his troubles. Senator Craw
ford wanted to obtain tho Indefinite
postponement of a bill reported from
his committee on claims. "We have
not a quorum here," said Smoot by
way of warning. "Then wc will have
one," retorted Crawford with some
heat. "I am not going to bo played
with on this bill,'! will say to tho sen
ator from Utah."
An Arkansas Opinion.
"Does tho senator from Arkansas
yield to tho senator from Kansas?"
asked tho president pro torn, of tho
senate.
"Certainly," replied Clarke of Arkan
sas. "Tho senator from Kansas al
ways says something worth while."
After Many Years.
Charles S. Thomas of Colorado could
tell If he desired bow It feels to have
an ambition of a quarter of a century
gratified. For about that tlmo he has
been anxious to come to the senate.
Thero have been many years when the
state was so hopelessly Republican
that ho did not havo even a look In.
Then when tho state was Democratic
thero were such men aa Teller, Patter
son and Hughes in his way. At last,
however, he has attained his ambition.
EUGENE ZIMMERMAN.
Duke of Manchester's Father-
in-law Criticises Gov. Wikon
Eugene Zimmerman, father-in-law o
tho Duko of Manchester, who has been
stopping with the duke and duchess In
Ireland, returned to New York by the
Campania with a sheaf of opinions on
municipal, national and International
things. Mr. Zimmerman said ho was glad
that Senator Root had come squarely for
arbitration of the Panama canal question;
that we should llvo up to our agreement
with England. President Elect Wilson,
Mr. Zimmerman said, wns doing too much
talking. Ho was frightening European
Investors In American securities. They
wero holding off to see what the presi
dent elect was going to do.
WAITERS' STRIKE COLLAPSES.
Lack of Public Sympathy and Police
Clubs Causes of Failure.
New York, Jan. 27. The general
strike of the hotel workers, which was
promoted and nursed by the agitators
of the big Bill Haywood organization,
the Industrial Workers of tho World,
has collapsed. Tho strike leaders ad
mitted that the fighting spirit had
oozed out of their followers and that
within twenty-four hours waiters and
cooks nnd others would be scrambling
for their old jobs.
The organizers sent by the Industrial
Workers of tho World to show the ho
tel workers how to fight according to
the tactics of Haywood and Ettor wero
the first to admit defeat Patrick Quln
lan, tho general organizer, and Miss
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, tho principal
speechmoker, were hard at work try
ing to convince tho leaders of tho In
ternational Hotel Workers' union that
lie who fights and runs nway can live
to fight another day.
Less astute perhaps than the profes
slonais of the Industrial Workers of
tho World, tho leaders of the Hotel
Workers' union wero struggling at tho
executive committee meeting to pro
long the strike, but they were told
frankly by tho Industrial Workers of
the World strategists that the battle
was lost and that terms had better be
made as quickly ns possible. There
were a number of causes for the fail
ure of the strike. Among them were
an absence of public sympathy, the
lukewarm attitude of 75 per cent of tho
union waiters satisfied with their pay
nnd the discovery of the strikers that
tho police wero not afraid to use their
clubs.
After three days of window smash
ing, of assaults on nonunion waiters
and of noisy demonstrations there was
less work last night for the police nnd
the private guards by whom most of
the hotels and restaurants wero heav
ily guarded.

BARKS LIKE A DQG
Shamokin Man That Way
For Twenty-seven Years.
IS NOW UNDER TREATMENT.
Was Injured by Baseball Bat When
Boy Had to Give Up Job In Mines
Because Yelps Frightened Mules.
Case Interests Physicians.
Shamokin, Pn., Jan. 27. Fred San
ders of this city was ndmltted to tho
Mcdico-Chlrurgical hospital In Phila
delphia for treatment for a nervous
condition which causes him to yelp like
a dog. The origin of tho condition
dates back twenty-seven years, when
Sanders, who Is now thirty-four years
old, was struck on the head by a base
ball bat.
While physicians wero examining
Sanders and learning tho history of the
case, the sounds from tho patient,
which resembled tho bark of a dog as
near human sounds can, could be heard
plainly in tho office and corridors of
the hospital. Sanders has been placed
iu a room apart from tho public wards.
Accompanying these sounds is n
twitching of muscles and limbs affect
ing the patient from his head to his
feet. In the convulsions, which at
times occur at intervals of every few
seconds, Sanders draws hack his arm
as though to strike something with his
fist. Other times he raises a leg In the
motion of kicking.
These motions, physicians who have
Investigated tho unusual case here for
u score of years say, are reminders of
the days when Sanders drove mules
iu tho mines. They were noticeable
in slight twltchings the day after San
ders was hit by the bat. A few years
later the motions beenme so violent
and pronounced nnd his yelps and
barks so loud thnt "ho couldn't drive
mules without frightening them, and
he lost his position In the mines.
When Sanders was ten years old he
attended n baseball game at Ashland,
Jack Stlvetts of Ashland, who nfter
ward attained n national reputation as
pitcher for the Boston team, was just
beginning to develop tho skill which
made him one of the greatest pitchers
of his day.
Stlvetts, a giant In stature, was at
bat. Tho boy Sanders stood near the
home plate. The bat slipped from
Stlvetts' hands as he swung at a pitch
ed ball, and the end of It struck San
ders in the forehead.
Ou tho day following the accident
the boy showed no marked signs of his
injury except a slight twitching of the
muscles of his face, caused more by
fright than by tho blow from the bat,
physicians say. Shortly afterward he
began to yelp like a dog.
STRIKE TIES UP WIRE PLANT
Skilled Workers Join Laborers Out at
Rankin, Pa.
Pittsburgh, Jan. 27. Tho skilled men
In tho rod mill and tho laborers In the
fence department at the American
Steel and Wire company's plant at
Rankin, across tho Monongahela from
the Homestead works, joined tho strike
of the laborers in the nail mill, which
has been on for two days.
The strikers number about 450, and a
total of 1,500 are Idle. Tho plant Is
the second largest of the American
Steel and Wire company's plants.
After the skilled men walked out the
strikers formed a cordon around the
works nnd stopped the men on the
other turn as they went to work. The
plcketers were re-enforced by a hun
dred armed laborers. A score of shots
rcero fired during encounters, but no
one was wounded.
ACCUSED OF ARSON.
Discharged Employee to Face Charges

Lebanon, Pa., Jan. 27. Because he

March criminal court.

AMERICAN PEACHES AND
APPLES IN ENGLAND.
English folks aro shy of buying
peaches, which they have learned to
look upon as a luxury. That this Is
so Is not to bo wondered at In view
of the high prices that tho home
igrown fruit commands. Hothouse
peaches, for example, fetch at retail
as much as ?3.G0 to $6 a dozen, and
even the outdoor fruit costs about
$1.50 per dozen. On the other hand
consignments from tho State of
Washington sold at retail In the
London market lately for CO cents a
dozen, while Colorado peaches could
bo bought at retail for as little as
three cents apiece.
American apples have found a
market in England, where people
ask for them as a matter of course.
There seems no reason, therefore,
why the Imported peach should not
become equally -popular, as the en
joyment of the fruit will thus be
made possible to those who 'find the
home-growa product Ibeyond their
means. Its advent also would be
welcomed in hotels and restaurants
In the preparation of dishes In which
the fruit forms part. Another effect
would be to prolong tho peach sea
son. At present tho fall market de
pends largely on tho outdoor fruit,
the supply of which Is made doubt
ful by the uncertainty of the climate.
American growers, accordingly, see
prospects of a good market in Eng
land now that people thero begin
to realize the comparative cheapness
of the imported peach. Harper's
