degree to the assistance and good gener

of course, a necessary Inference that

the adoption of bills presentod in the
two houses: TheVchalrman of a legisla

possesses a 'power that Is alrnont un
limited. When Fulton himself was pres
ident of the State Senate two years ago
he was a powerful fn-tor in the election
of Mitchell to the I nlted States Senate.
With the prestige of having, wod the
opening skirminh und with the, signal
advantage of having raptured the organ
isation in both branches of the Legis
lature. Fulton is dtstlnctlystrenger than
he Was three days ago : At the-same
time his fight Is not ryat won. His
friends admit that they have little hope
of securing a caucus on the Senatorshlp,
and the Issue must therefore bo settled
by the tedious process : of Joint ballot
by the two branches of the Legislature.
Sard right la rrospeot.
Present appearances Indicate that
such a contest must prove very pro
tracted. Each of the minor candidates
will do everything In his power to hold
his following together. In the nope that
a break may occur in the forces of the
leaders, and that he may profit by It.
It Is therefore the fleld against Fulton

his Bkill to win out.

a much easier victory In the Senate, ami
the deadlock which was maintained for
a dosen ballots was an unwelcome sur
prise to them. There Is no doubt that
three, snd probably four. Senators, who
were expected to vote for Brownell, the
Fulton csndldate, availed themselves of
the protection given by the secret bal
lot and gave their votes to Smith. The
deadlock was finally broken by a single
vote, which deserted 8mUh and went
first to Stelwer and then to Browned. .

The latter theory finds color from
the fact that Multnomah's representa
tive In- both houses have developed a
strong distaste for the cut and dried
program which the Jack Matthews tri
umvirate expected to force down their,
throats. This was made apparent in
the House caucus and was the prime
cause of the ultimate break; to Harris.

COMMISSIONER AND

Heated Argument in Strike Inquiry
Leads to Personalities and Al
most to Violence;
(Journal Special Service.)
" PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 13. The proceedings of the coal strike commis
sion were enlivened this morning by an altercation between a witness and mem
bers of the commission. Wnen the commission convened -Business Sales Agent
Torrey!of the Delaware & Hudson took the stand . and Anthracite Commis-
sioner Wright began the examinations
Tor rey .showed a disposition to evade the probing Questions of the com
missioner and this led to the trouble. The witness testified that his com
pany hod no control over the situation and derived neither loss nor benefit
from the prices in New York or elsewhere. The companies sold together, under
contract. ;
Closely questioned by Commissioner)) Watklns, Wright snd ClarTc. Torrey
developed an amazing ignorance concerning : his own business. Me declared
that he could not tell what prices his company is now receiving for coal
at Hoboken. ' -
"Can you tell me where we can get a schedule of the prices of coal for
the past 10 years?" asked Watkins. "Can you furnish the figures of your own
compsny?" ,
"I guess so," replied the witness. "I don't think the company will ob
ject.'' Thfs aroused Wilson t something tike mmf? ' I wantdll to- understand."
he'sald sternly,' "that this Is not a question of the likes or dislikes of your
company; it Is a question of your ability to furnish the information."
parrow made a desperate effort to pin the witness down to facts snd
figures but the attempt was unavailing. Torrey was elusive. He side-stepped
the questions, slid away from direct replies or evaded the queries alto
gether. Darrow and Torrey finally engaged in a heated personal altercation
that threatened to develop Into violence. Wilson fairly shouted a demand that
the personalities must be- stopped. He declared that the proceedings of the
commission were disgraced by scenes of this character.
