SOUTHERN FIRE EATER TALKS
TO EMPTY SEATS IN SENATE
WASHINGTON'.? "Jeff Davis, whom
Arkansas sent to Washington to be
thHr senator, had to look up at the
galleries to find an audtencc while he
delivered his second tirade against
plutocrats and Wall street and money
in general on the floor of the senate
today. His fellow statesmen either
had planned to freeze him out or had
no liking for a repetition of bis har
angue of last session.
Even to the galleries -the eloquence
*T>f Mr. Davis had lost to some de
gree the /est of novelty. Some of
the lurid remarks emitted by ihe Ar
kansas senator, had they been deliv
ered by any other member of the
senate, undoubtedly would have
a considerable sensation.
Samples of His Oratory.
Mere is one of the little gems of
the Davis brand of oratory:
"Ah. Mr. President, the money
power of this government is treading
on dangerous ground.
"The people are already ground
down with taxation and the weight
of government until their backs are
almost broken beneath the loud
"Within tvn years there may be
another Shenandoah Valley, there
may be another (.iettysburg; the red
broom of war may sweep this gov
ernment as it has never been swept
before, unless congress tusns a listen
ing ear to the lane ntatlons of an
outraged public." n
After Davis haii finished his speech,
the senators stopped telling funny
stories to each other in the cloak
rooms. tin- chamber gradually became
inhabited and the business of legisla
tion was taken up again.

l'p to the hour of going to press
this afternoon the city water mains
vere not frozen, although it has
l>een a constant struggle on the part
of the town officials to keep them

main leading to the court house is

Yesterday afternoon the official*
out a steam hose into the Home

where it passes under the rallroari
.?acks, Mayor Shea, Phil Snyder ami
Frank Page were drenched with
water, as the high pressure threw
