If adopted It would con stitute the moat cordial Invitation erer made to crime and Justify the most ef fective welcome of wrona-dolng;. If we concede the principle that the Senate welcomes to It a man whose friends hare bought the title to his seat here." BOTH GET TO CALCULATING Trxan Insists Bought Votes Should lie Thrown Oat and Then Ixrlmcr Would rte Chosen Invitation to Crime, Says Cummins. WASHINGTON. Jan. 17. Contending for a rule of procedure that would dmy a seat In the t'nlted States Senate to abjr man whose election has been ac complished by fraud. Cummins of low today concluded his speech In opposi tion to the report of the committee on privileges and elections, holding Lort mer's right to his seat nnlmpeached. He said at least seven members of the Illinois Legislature had been Involved in bribery proceedings In connection with the Lorimer election and. holding that these should be subtracted from pri mer's rote and not from the total poll, contended that the untainted vote had not teen sufficient to elect Lorimer. nailer Pefends Ixrlmer's Seal. Bailey said the corrupt vote should be subtracted from Lortmer's vote and the total vote. Paying there had been 201 vctes In the Senatorial election, he aald the seven corrupt votes should be de ducted from the 20t votes and also from the 10$ cast for Lorimer, which would give Lorimer 101 votes out of 136 a clear majority. "Suppose." asked Cummins, "of the 20 votes. 101 had been for Lorimer and a friend of Lortmer's had bought one other vote for him. giving him 102. would Mr. Lorimer have been elected?" "No. responded Bailey, "he would not have been, because In that case the cor rupt vole decides the result." "Then It makes a difference whether one vote was corrupted or seven?" re sponded the lowan. but the Texan would not concede the point. Briber Would Get Benefit. Borah contended that under Bailey's reasoning, a candidate would get the benefit of half a vote every time he bought a vote, even though the pur chased vote wss rejected. Bailey would not have It so. and con rded that. If a corrupt vote was to be rejected for one purpose. It must be re jected for all. He would have such a ote treated as If It had not been cast. Owen contributed the result of a mathematical calculation. saying H showed that, according to Bailey's cal culation. It would have been necessary to buy IS votes to Invalidate Lortmer's election, while, according to Cummins, seven would have sufficed to that end. Imposfble to Fake Story. Cummins declared that there were many circumstances to sustain the charges. The Iowa Senator asserted It would bare been Impossible for the hu man mind to have fabricated such a story as that supplied to the Chicago Tribune by Representative White, of the Illinois Legislature, without having It refuted by the facta Answering the contention of Lortmer's friends that the corrupt rote should be deducted from the total number of votes east rather than from the vote cast for Lorimer. he said: "This Is the most alarming and dan- BURNED .TIMBER MUST GO Senate Passes BUI for Sale of All on Publlo Land.

DEADLOCK IS Sheehan Remains Strongest Candidate at Albany. "NO CHOICE" ANNOUNCED Joint Legislative Assembly Shows Smallest Attendance Since Ballot ing Began Governor Says No Overtures Have Been Made. ALBANY. N. T.. Jan. 27. The Joint legislative assembly showed the smallest attendance today since the Legislature began balloting for' a United States Senator. Only six members were present, 41 less than a quorum and the formal bal lot taken at noon was announced as "no choice." Not counting the 141 member excused and "paired." William F. Sheehan's strength remained the same, although the official tally gave him but 19 votes. This was due to the fact that the Demo cratic . absentees were almost entirely from among his following. The actual shifts were three, one each from Herrlck and 8hepard to Kernan and another from Curtis N. Douglas to Seymour Vsn Sansvoord. This brought Mr. Keman's vote up to seven and made him a rival of Mr. Sliepard for second place. The vote was: Sheehan, IS; Shepard, S; Kernan. 7; Littleton. S; O'Brien. 2; Gerard, i; Van Sansvoord. 1; Parker. 1; Taylor, 1; Dlx, 1; Glynn. 1; Depew. 12. Norman B. Mack called on Governor Dix today and remained with him for some time and It Is eupponjd they dis cussed the Senatorshlp situation. The Governor said no overtures had been made regarding a "peace conference." The next regular ballot will be taken at noon tomorrow. Interest In the Senatorahlp contest perceptibly waned here today on account of the general understanding that noth ing would be done before next week. Many of the legislators went home last night after arranging the usual pairs. By Monday the Attorney -General Is ex pected to render his opinion on the ques tion of whether the law requires balloting on Saturday, or on Monday, when the Legislature uemally does not meet until evening. If he concludes that the statute means by "legislative days" only those days on which the Legislature holds lt regular session. Joint ballot need be taken only on' Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. . O'GORMAX TO BE COMPROMISE? Supreme Judge Reported Tam many's Choice to Reunite Party. NEW YORK. Jan. 27.

WALSH'S HOPES ARE WAXING Caucus Nominee In Montana Loses Strength Forces Dissolve. HELENA. Mont.. Jan. 17. The fact that at no time since the balloting for Sena tor began has the combined votes of Walsh and Conrad (Dems.) been suffi cient to elect and that since the ballot ing every Democrat but one has at one time or another voted for either Conrad or Walsh, has led many to believe the election of either an impossibility. With the caucus call signed by only 42 of the U Democrats, there Is little prospeot of the call obtaining the necessary 61 sig natures. This situation has caused general un easiness among the Walsh supporters and there were Indications today that there soon would be a dissolution of the Walsh strength. Walsh today received the lowest vote he has received since the second day of the balloting. Ip hla losses are numbered two men who have I'oted for hint on every previous ballot.' Today's vote was: T. H. Carter (Rep.). 34; T. J. Walsh (Dem.), 29; W. G. Conrad- (Dem.), 17; H. H. Parsons (Rep.). 4: W. R. Allen ,(Rep.). 2; T. M. Swlndlehurst. R. R. Purcell, C. B.

Speer of Denver con tinued to lead today. while ex Governor Alva Adams, of Pueblo, lost three votes, but retained second place on third ballot. The Democrats are switching from one to another of the tail-enders In order to keep all In the race and pre vent a centering of votes on Speer or Adams.

The United Mineworkers of America today, after adopting resolutions criticizing the American Civic Federation and providing- for the Investigation of a charge made by a delegate from Pennsylvania that Delegate Thomas Hughes of Bridgeport, Ohio, was a former strike breaker, turned Its attention to the adoption of resolutions.

During the discussion, on the Civic Fed eration someone In the back of the hall called out: "There is a scab in this hall now." For an instant there was silence and then from all sides were yells of "point him out." Hughes was named as the man, but he waa not in the'hall.
