With this vote, Morris Sheppard
had 104 votes for the short term in
the United States senate. His elec-
tion over R. M. Johnston, when the

Austin, Jan. 28.—Hon. Morris
Sheppard who was today elected to
both the long and short term in the
United States senate by the two
branches of the Texas legislature,
is literally besieged tonight by of-
fice seekers under the new demo-
cratic regime which begins on
March 4.
Senator Sheppard has been kept
so busy that he has not had time to
open and read the hundreds of
congratulatory messages that have
poured in from all parts of the
state. Applicants for everything
from the smaller postmasterships
to ambassadorships have called to
pay their respects, to congratulate
and to press their individual claims
and the claims of their friends.
After verification and proclama-
tion of the legislative vote taken on
the senatorship today! which will
be had before a joint session of
both houses at noon tomorrow,
Senator Sheppard will deliver an
address in which he is expected to
declare emphatically for the pend-
ing resolution, now before the leg-
islature providing for the initiative,
referendum and recall and upon
other matters touching his intended
course as a senator and looking to
the success of the Wilson adminis-
tration.

PITTSBURG, Pa., Jan. 2 8.—Dep
uty sheriffs and strikers from the
Rankin plant of the American Steel
& Wire company, a subsidiary of
the United States Steel corporation,
clashed tonight and one man was
killed and 12 persons injured, sev-
eral fatally. All the wounded, ex-
cept two deputy sheriffs and a
policeman were spectators. Among
the injured are several women and
a six months old child.
The deputy sheriffs and strikers
collided in one of the principal
streets of Rankin borough, which
adjoins this city. The county of-
ficers, armed with rifles and revol-
vers. and the strikers armed with
revolvers and stones, battled for
one hour within an area of two
squares.
The rioting and shooting ended
when the deputy sheriffs retreated
within the fente of the mill.
The dead man, George Kozely,
was shot twice in the stomach.
The strike started less than a
week ago. Most of the strikers are
foreigners empldyed as laborers.
They are paid at the rate of 19c an
hour. They are demanding 30c an
hour.
The first outbreak occurred last
Saturday night, when strikers and
Policemen of Rankin clashed. Nine
persons were injured, a majprity of
them officers. Many shots were
fired without effect. Sunday was
quiet, owing to the presence of
Sheriff Judd Bruff of Allegheny
county with a large force of depu-
ties. During Saturday night, how-
ever,. the strikers took possession
of the hills surrounding Rankin
borough, buildinfe bonfires. Oc-
casionally shots were directed to-
ward the yards of the mill. Early
Monday morning the deputy sher-
iffs dispersed the strikers, extin-
guished the fires and Sheriff Bruff
issued an order closing all saloons.
This was followed later by the
probable fatal stabbing of a deputy
sheriff, whose assailants escaped.
Today Burgess J. Knox Milligan,
of Rankin, issued a proclamation
declaring the borough in a state of
riot and of there being "a dead
line" of 300 yards around the
plant, warning all children from
the streets and continuing the or-
der to keep the saloons closed. .

Washington, Jan. 28.—Wilfred
T. Webb, Arizona's electoral vote
messenger, for whom Senators
Ashurst and Smith have been
searching by telegraph for two
days, delivered the official vote of
the state to the vice president's
office late today- Although a day
late, the excu»e Mr. Webb offered
for his tardiness was considered
sufficient to entitle him to the
mileage of $642.75 and to entitle
the state to the counting of its vote
in the electoral college.
Mr. Webb said he reached New
York early today. At breakfast he
picked up a newspakr and read
with surprise that thA senate was
searching the country for him. He
immediately telegraphed to Sena-
tor Ashurst and took the next train
for Washington.
"I didn't know anything about
the.law," said Webb, who is a sun-
burned rancher and cattleman, "so
I got a lawyer friend to draw me
up a set of instructions. He told
me I had to deliver the vote to
Washington Feb. 1, and so I have
been taking my time to get here.
It spoiled my appetite for break-
fast, though, when I saw how badly
I was wanted this morning."
Mr. Webb was escorted by a body
of newspaper men when he went to
draw his money, but no objection
was raised at the disbursing office
and he heaved a sign of relief. All

LONDON, Jan. 28.—As a protr- :■
against the withdrawal of the fran-
chise bill by the government, tlu-
suffragists resumed their militant
tactics tonight. While a deputa
tion, which the chancellor of the
exchequer, David Lloyd-George,
had refused to see until tomorrow
morning, was trying to force its
way into parliament against an
overwhelming force of police and
while women were being arrested
for resisting the officers, other
bands of women went through
Whitehall, breaking windows of
the government offices and through
Cockspur street, where the great
plate glass windows in the estab
lishments of shipping companies
were ruthlessly smashed.
The women also visited Oxford,
Regent and other streets in the
shopping district, where similar
damage was done. Later mail
boxes were attacked, quantfiies of
liquid being poured into them.
In the outlying suburbs too the
suffragettes damaged property.
Twenty-one women were arrest-
ed in the vicinity of the parliament
building, but were allowed out on
bail after the house rose. Most of
the police stations had one or more
prisoners charged with destroying
property.
The damage in Whitehall was
not as large as in some of the riots
previously held, the force of police
and a drenching rain mitigating
against any great turnout. The
wildest excitement prevailed, how-
ever, and besides protecting prop-
erty and arresting women engaged
in windoU' smashing or who refuse-
ed to move on when ordered, the
police had the greatest difficulty in
protecting the women from an un-
ruly crowd of youths who gathered
and jostled every woman wearing
suffragette colors. In several cases |
the women were roughly handled, j
An attempt to duck four of them in
the fountain in TraTalgar Square
was fruistrated by a police posse,
which had to ride through the
crowd.
The entire deputation of twenty-
one women, who attempted to make
their way into the house of com-
mons to interview Chancellor Lloyd
George, was arrested. The prison-
ers included Mrs. Drummond and
Sylvia Pafikhurst, who marched in
front. Before starting on their
mission the delegates listened to
addresses by Mrs. Emmiline Pank-
hurst and other leaders.

BANKERS CONVICTED.
Buhler and Gomila, of New Orleans

(By Associated Pre as)
New Orleans, Jan. 28.—A ver-
dict of guilty was returned after
only ten minutes deliberation to-
night in the case of Eugene F.

Tetuonia bank and Jos. Gomila, di-
rector and chairman of the bank's
finance committee charged jointly
with having received deposits
knowing the institution to be in a
blame for the delay in action on the
1400 or more pending appoint-
ments. The opening of the repub-
lican fight came after a caucus to-
day, when it was determined to
force the issue against the demo-
crats and compel them either to
yield in their opposition or to open-
ly adopt methods of delay and ob-
struction. '
As result of the filibuster, inti-
mations were given tonight by re-
publican senators that the fight un-
doubtedly will extend Into Presi-

tion on many of his appointments.
Republicans remained in the sen-
ate chamber throughout the day,

made for a night session but early
in the evening it was determined to

Going at Half Price.
(By Associated Frees)
New York, Jan. 28.—The sale of
a stock exchange membership for
$48,000, was reported today. This
is exactly half the record price at-
tained in the boom period several
and is the lowest figure
putation started. The police gave
them safe escort as far as the en-
trance of parliament, where an in-
spector informed them that the
chancellor of the exchequer would
be unable to see them until tomor-
row.
Mrs. Drummond retorted, "This
is tom-foolery. If you do not let
us in there will be trouble."
At that the members of the de-
putation threw themselves at the
police, who stood six deep across
the entrance and in the scramble.
Mr£ Drummond and another wo-
man were either thrown or fell to
the ground. The npllce gave the
women several chgRes to withdraw
quietly, but as they refused, all
were arrested. The crowd showed
little sympathy for the women
whom they tried to jostle as they
were being led to the station. The
auflfcprities, it is understood, con-
template arresting the leaders for
inciting their followers to break
the law.
ChriBtobal QuUymrst, who is of-
ten referred towWhe brains of the

London, directing the demonstra-
tion. She is known to have left
