TWO GROUPS IN A THE SENATE NOW W One Wants to Keep Him From Being Seated, the Other Wants to Seat Him and Then Investigate. Washington, Jan. 10. —OP)—His el | iglllbity questioned from both sides of the chamber, Prank L. Smith, of Illi-'j nois, waited on the threshold of the 1 t Senate today for a decision which at best promised him little satisfaction, e With few exceptions the senators | divided into two groups, one to be on denying his admission pending, further inquiry into the finances of lcs primary campaign, and the other asking that he be 6worn in as a sena tor and his fitness investigated after* I ward. Meeting an hour earlier than usual, the Senate hoped to reach its decis ion before adjournment tonight. There was ununusnally largo attendance on tiled oor and the galleries were jam med. Smith remained at his hotel suite un til just before the Senate met, and 1 then proceeded to the capitol to Join Senator Deneen, who took him to the chamber to offer his credentials. Immediately after Vice-President Dame* called the Senate to order, a m quorum call was demanded by Sena w tor Curtis, of Kansas, the republican 1 leader, and the clerk called the roll, lenders, and the clerk called the roll. Smith's certificate of appointment from Governor Small then was pre sented to the Senate by Sen. Deneen. As he sent the paper to the vice pres- 1 ident's* desk, (lie Illinois senator 1 moved that the applicant be admin istered the onth. included in the motion was a pro posal that all objections against the j appointee be referred to the elections committee for hearing.

The precedents in this class included the celebrated Newberry case from Michi gn'm Senator Deneen also quoted Cue late Henry Cabot I-odge and Senator Reed, of Missouri, who was waiting to offer nn alternate motion, to deny Smith a seat pending a hearing. The Reed quotation was from a debate on the seating of Senator Moßes, of New Hampshire in 1918. When 1 Senator Deneen finished. Senator Reed, of Missouri, offered his resolution to deny Smith the onth utf til the elections committee has given him a hearing. , THE COTTON MARKET ■i Opened Steady at ad Advance of S to 8 Points, With March Going to 13.58. New York, Jan. 19. — W) —The cot ton market opened steady today at an advance of 3 to 8 points in response to Liverpool cables and reports of con tinued activity in cotton goods at Man chester. The advance to 13.53 for March and 134)5 for July met considerable real izing by recent buyers, and a little more Southern selling of bedeging. Rusiueas tapered off after initial buy ing ord«rs had been executed, price* saging 5 or 6 points from the best. Ex-' oept for the Southern selling which was a little more in evidence at the start, offerings were attributed chiefly to profit taking. Private cables reported good trade calling and Manchester buying in Liv erpool, and that more idle looms were starting in Lancashire.

HUSBAND KILLED WHILE ON DUTY Was Executed at Quere taro Mexico, Where He and His Wife Had Ruled for Several Years. Brussels, Belgium, Jan. 19.—C4>)— Ouarlotte, once empress of Mexico, as the wife of Emperor Maximilian, died at her chateau near here at 7 o'clock this morning. Thus Came to a close one of the most tragic careers in Eu ropean history, for her mind hud l>een clouded ever since nhe heard of the execution of her husband utQuer etaro. Mexico, in 1867. Several times in the last few years 'her strong eonstitution enabled Char lotte to withstand serious illness, hut when on last Saturdny she was strick en with a severe attack of influenza the physicians took into account her advanced age—she was 86—and held out little hope for recovery. At times over the week-end she seemed to improve, then on Tuesday morning pneumonia developed. There was a hurried consultation of physi cians and Charlotte's nephew. King Albert, and Queen Elizabeth and oth ers. of the royal family were sum moned to the sick room. They were at the bedside when she died peace fully. Throughout the ex-empress’ illness, in fact, through the years of her re tirement. she had a constant attend ant in Baron Auguste Goffinet, who was a close friend of her brother, King Leopold II of Belgium. Baron Auguste, knowing that the empress was soon to die, spoke wist fully of his relations with the Belgian royal house, of the beauty and charm of Charlotte as a girl before she mar ried the Austrian arch-duke Maxi milian. “It i» my privilege," be said, “to 'Si 1 ‘Empress Charlotte is to bury us all except yourself.” The baron as administrator of Char lotte's property; added that there was no truth in the reports of her great fortune. While it was once some thing like 10,000,000 gold francs, be explained, it had dwindled consid erably the last few years because of the depreciation of Russian and Ger man shares. The story of Maximilian and Char lotte is one of the great royal ro mances and is peculiarly interesting to Americans because it had tragic contact with western shores. Maxi milian, a grandduke of Austrian, brother of Emperor Francis Joseph, set up file Mexican throne in 1864 with the encouragement of Napoleon 111. In 1866, after he had created an enormous Mexican debt and lost the confidence of the Mexican people and European Sppport aa well, he was executed by a firing squad in Mexieo. The life of the ‘mad Empress" Charlotte was filled both with romance and pathos. For more than half a century, after she fell in a faint at the feet of Napoleon 111 at the court of St. Cloud when he refused the aid of France for her husband, she was considered by many to have been in sane but whether she was really men tally unbalanced has remained a mys tery for all that time. While she lived in the utmost sim plicity at a little Belgian chateau, her fortune grew throughout the hulf cen tury until it was estimated to have amounted to 60,000,00 to 100,000,000 francs. After Maximilian had been captur ed, tried and shot, apparently her mental breakdown became complete and she was found one day wander ing n the streets of Rome, babbling like a child. When taken charge of, she waa washing her hands in one of the street fountains. An appeal was made to the Tuileries for assistance but it was repulsed. She retired to Miramar and subsequently was re ceived at the Chateau of Laekeu near Brussels by heir brother. Here for (pore than 50 years she had dragged out h miserable, solitary existence. • Very rarely she received a visit from • a member of her family. The fiction that she was still Em i press of Mexico was continued by the ' widow of Maximilian and her little court of five persons and also by the > Belgian royal family during all the ■ time she remained at recluse at the i Laekeu chateau. i The question whether she really was i insane has been a matter of much : speculation. For n long time the ex- Empress suffered from hallucinations of persecution but these gradually subsided and eventually disappeared. I There have been many instances I showing that her mind was dear. I Many friends maintained that she - feigned dementia through pride so that - she could continue to act, talk and be i treated still as an Empress. Her rel > stives never took any action to have e her declared incompetent aa the Bel - gian law requires in casea of violent i insanity. * - Never in the 50 years or more was Charlotte known to have mentioned her deposed and executed Emperor i husband, Maximilian, end never in all a that time wm the word “death” spok en in her presence.

The ex-emprese some months ago startled her entourage by showing in dications of independence and *unily. She summoned Colonel Van Eckhaudt, commander-vs the castle, and asked; “I am entirely free, am I not?” “Certainly, Your Majesty,” replied the colonel. The former empress indicated that that being the case she would go out side the boundaries of the extensive forests surrounding the chateau. In the course of her customary walk she requested the guard at the great iron gates leading to the main road to let her pass. He did so and for the first time in more than 30 years the for mer empress walked about 100 yards beyond the domain in which she had lived in such seclusion. The ladies in charge remained at a distance ob serving her. Charlotte returned With a pleased air and several times after ward repeated the experience, hut nev er going far on the road. Hr chateau was situated several miles outside Brussels in a park of about 400 acres, which was sur rounded by a. high iron fence. In her latter years the members of her house hold kept up the imperial court, main taining every form of respect and def erence, much as though Charlotte were a reigning sovereign. The former empress continued her practice of rising about seven in the morning, and after making a careful toilet, went for a walk in the garden or for a drive to the more remote parts of the domain. After dinner it was her custom to talk with members of her court or to listen to music of the i piano or phonograph, both of which , she was very fond. She treated every . one near her with lofty courtesy. . MlntJmrne Woolsey Dead From Un ’*' HfiowWf Cause.

Sligh, ar rested in Los Angeles on charges that be faked his own death, was being brought to Fitzgernld, Ga„ where an effort will be made to have his wife identify him. Sligh was well thought of in this section. He lead been in the real estate business and was said to have made considerable money during rue boom. At; elaborate funeral waa held, when the bones of the supposedly dead man were interred. Three min ister* officiated. And now It ia charged that, the former respected citizen of Seneca placed the bones of a goat in his bed, set fire to his house, and disappeared, hopiug his wife and children would gain the benefit of the SBO,OOO insur ance money from policies he held with three companies. Sligh now claim* he has been a vic tim of amnesia, according to Los An geles police, and denies recollection of ever having left Fitzegnrld. Hia wife steadfastly claims that the bones in the grave at Seneca are those of her husband. The insurance companies' investi gators recommended that payment on the policies be deferred until they had searched for Sligh.

George Young, who hiul 00 cents to J his name day before yesterday awoke this morning from n luxurious twenty four-hour slee]> to find the $25,000 he won in William Wrigley's Catalina swim is only a drop in his bucket of wealth. Representatives of three vaudeville magnates and an uncounted number «£ motion picture executives had moved from the mahogany offices in j which they customarily design to re ceive famous stars and were humbly camped on the front steps, awaiting the awnkeuing of the hitherto tin known seventeen-yenr-old hero and his pleasure in receiving them. Young's immediate earnings, it is thought, will total in tlie neighborhood'of SIOO,OOO. However, lie and Henry O’Bryne, who trained and encouraged him, and managed his swim form the accomp anying boat, are uot going into future contracts hastily. O'Bryne is to be Young's manager. They are going to consider all offers carefully. One tiling is certain- —Young is made financially for all time. “No more work for you, Mother dear," was the telegrum George sent to his mother in Toronto this morning. •Simultaneously he let it lie known that it was a telegram from his mother I j that pulled him through the last few hours of the swim. O'Bryne x'eceived I the message when Young was about live miles off shore. "1 know you'll win, George,” was its text. O'Bryne grabbed a megaphone and yelled the message to Young. Prom then on there was no doubt of the boy's success. When the first flurry of excitement and hubbub began to subside today, Young dispatched a second message to his mother, asking her to come to California at once., If his mother likes the West, he thinks he will buy a home in Santa Monicn and remain permanently, to be near the scenes of movie work and future switnsi Wrlgley Plans Women’s Race. Mr. Wrlgley, overjoyed at the suc i cess of the race, announced another . for xjext fall—probably in September. . It may be for women only. He is i determined to make the Catalina swim an annual event. The magnate is like wise tickled that Young should have [ won. [ En route to California on his di i lapidated motorcycle. Young boldly . tackled Mr. Wrigley, then in Chicago, for a loan. Mr. Wrigley was impress . ed with the boy's appearance and let ■ him have stso. He has followed - Voting's progress with interest and was literally beside himslf with joy as the : youngster drew closer aud closer to the mainland. Young's first public appearance will be to-morrow night, when the $25,000 will be formally awarded to him on the stage of a Hollywood theatre. He is in virtually perfect condition today despite his gruelling race and ’ sixteen hours exposure to icy water, - an examination, revealed.
