HOW CONGRESS ;

SENATE WILL HAVE “CHER-;

OEMOCR VTIC MAJORITY
- .
WASHINGTON. Nov. 23. — A
“cherokee strip” of Democrats in the
Senate is another new condition re
sulting from a Democratic majority. |
For the first time in a generation, a
Democratic overflow will find seats on
the Republican side. Three Demo
crats! Broussard of Louisiana, Hust
ing, of AN isconsin and Johnson of
South Dakota, will comprise the
“strip” with seats on the left of the
party dividing line, the center aisle.
The strip is not representative of
the Democrats’ power. Of the
Senators, the Democrats have «»<>.
Extra desks have been placed in the
Democratic section. The incoming
members are to be in the rear. Sena
tor Underwood of Alabama, tormer
House leader, will be in the back row,
between Hollis of New Hampshire
and Lewis of Illinois. Kyi the way,
its “Hamilton”—not James Hamilton
or even Jim Ham—now, officially. He
has retained the pink whiskers but
dropped the H^ont name.
On the Republican side Senator
Sherman of Illinois gets seat No. 1,
in the front row right beneath the
clerk’s desk. HO is slightly deaf.
Wadsworth of Now York, youthful j
successor to Root, will be in the last j
row. between Harding of Ohio, also
a new comer, and Curtis ot Kansas a
returned Republican veteran.
In the House the conditions of j
Democratic supremacy are different, j
There the Democrats will have a scant j
majority of about ‘10. Last year they
had over 100. Neither w ill the House
m -rehers scramble tor seats. It s a
'free-for-all. daily take-your-choice
arrangement there, except for the
party leaders.

place the long, tedious oral roll calls

FARRAGUT ALSO GOES
OUTSIDE TO UNLOAD
Advices from Anchorage are to the
effect that the Farragut, like the
other ships, has to go outside to load
the lighters. It has been found im
possible to anchor near Anchorage as
the ice loads on to the anchor chains
and the anchors rise from the bottom.
The Farragut went out yesterday and
was expected back to Anchorage with
the loaded scows last evening, hut had
not returned when the last message
was received yesterday.

THOUGHT KAISER BOSSED
OUR NORTHERN LIGHTS
Dr. J. H. Romig testified today in
the Commissioner’s court that Frank*
Lipps, who was on trial on an insanity
charge, labored under the delusion i
that the kaiser was running our
Aurora Borealis. The doctor stated
that Lipps declared the northern
lights were not real northern lights
but were the result of some machina- j
tions of the Imperial Wilhelm. Lipps |
also told the doctor some time ago
that he was a qualified physician and
surgeon and that he could show him
“ho\y to cut people44. “Which I have
no doubt about” remarked the doctor
drily as a comment on an occurrence
of two years ago.
Lipps, who is a barber, was arrest
ed last evening. The result of the
trial was not known at press time.
