Jones was inaugurated mayor of yesterday and the members of the new city council took their The inaugural ceremony fboW place In the council chamber and was preceded by the demise of the old council, the organization of the new and the closing address of Mayor J- C. Haynes. Then City Clerk Lydiard administered the oath of office to Mayor Jones, who announced his chief of police and privatesecretary, and after Aid. Rand on behalf of the members of the councii over whom Mr.

Jones had presided for four years, in an eloquent address, presented him with a handsome loving: cup, the ceremony was over and the two mayors adjourned to the reception room on the first floor where an informal reception was held. The old council was late in meeting. It was long after 2 o'clock that the seventeen Republican aldermen who had participated in the morning caucus -returned from a luncheon which had been provided by Aid. Merrill, of the Fourth ward, who had been nominated for president of the council at the morning caucus of the Republicans. Democrats Make No Fight The organization went through without a hitch.

The eight Democrats did not put up a ticket, but voted for the Republican slate, which was as follows: E. Merrill. Vice H. Van Nest. City A.

Lydiard. City Healy. City Rinker. Fire Chicf R. Canterbury.

Commissioner of Health M. Hall. M. D. Insoector of G.

The Inaugural Ceremony The meeting of the old council was perfunctory and the benediction was pronounced by Aid. S. E. Adams, of the Fourth ward, who was one of the retiring aldermen. In a short tribute to Merrill, president of the new council, he closed by wishing that a "beneficent providence should bless each one of you officially and individually with happiness, prosperity and content." Then he moved the final adjournment.

After the election of Aid. Merrill as president he appointed a committee to escort Mayors Haynes and Jones to the council chamber. He forgot that Mr. Adams was not a member of the council and named him chairman, but the former alderman disclaimed the honor and the. other aldermen laughed.

Two Mayors Speak Mayor Haynes in his address, which was a long one, reviewed the work of the last year and discussed" possible legislation in the future. He advocated a filtration plant for the water works department and insisted that a sand plant was the better system. He referred to the repression of crime in the city and the care which should be exercised in the granting of franchises and justified his signing of the Minnesota Power and Trolley company ordinance, which was one of his last official acts. Mayor Jones promised civil service in the police department, advocated a mechanical filter system, declared that the present "vicious conditions in the city would be rectified by a competent police force and urged the adoption of voting machines in the interest of accuracy and expense. He promised the police and health departments should attend to the smoke nuisance and asked for greater care in the granting of franchises.

This done, he announced the appointment of Ralph W. Wheelock as private secretary, and James G. Doyle as chief of police. These appointments were confirmed and then the council proceeded to elect street commissioners, and as a r.esult the Republicans secured nearly all of them. The three Democratic First, Ninth and the only exceptions.

Hew SAVE ANOTHER DAY Expected Police Changes Not Made Yesterday James G. Doyle, the new chief of police, took command of the department last, night, in succession to E. J. Conroy, Mayor Haynes' chief of police. This was the only change in the personnel of the department and all the other officers and men went on in the even tenor of their ways.

Today there will be something doing. Letters have been prepared removing or changing in rank thirty members of the department, and thfe changes will take effect today. It was expected there would be some changes yesterday, but Mayor Jones was so busy with his inaugural address he did not have time to give the- list careful scrutiny. It is doubtful if there will be more than one or two men appointed to the force today, but there will be a number of promotions and reductions these have been pretty accurately forecasted in fa! Globe. This is admitted by men close to Mayor Jones.

The members of the department are awaiting with anxiety the little list which will be given out at noon today. SURGEONS USE KNIFE Dr. Norred, of Minneapolis, Subjected to Two Operations Dr. C. H.

Norred, former surgeon of the soldiers' home, a veteran of the Civil war and one of the oldest practitioners in Minneapolis, is at St. Barnabas hospital, and today will be subjected to two capital surgical operations which he has been trying to avoid for the last three years. He will be operated upon by Minneapolis surgeons and will have the benefit of the best skill ajid science in. the city. He has made all the arrangements for the operation, even to securing a special bed and bedding manufactured according to his directions.

Dr. Norred. although a practioner for many years, is best known as the man who succeeded in stamping out the smallpox epidemic during the administration of 'Mayor Gray. When the head of the Minneapolis health department seemed paralyzed Dr. Norred was placed in charge of the work and for months he labored night and day and succeeded in stamping out the plague.

NEW DISTRICT JUDGE BARS LONG REPORTS Says System Which Has Grown Up Is Contrary to Law In his charge to the grand jury yesterday Judge Dickinson informed the members of the jury it was not their duty to formulate long reports which are given to the newspapers, a custom which has obtained in the it could only report by indictment or presentment, these being the only written forms provided by law.

DUNSMOOR HOUSE DAMAGED BY FIRE Handsome Brown Stone Building is Wrecked by Fiery Element The old Dunsmoor home, a handsome brown stone building at Third avenue south and Tenth street, was damaged to the extent of $2,500 by fire last night. The building was uhoccupied and was owned by J.

E. Luce. Workmen had been engaged for several days in remodeling the interior of the house, and about 6:30 o'clock after they had quit for the night fire was discovered on the second floor. It made its way through the ceiling and into the attic and then through the roof. MAYOR HAYNES SIGNS ELECTRIC ORDINANCE Last Official Act Was to Approve Fran- chise Granted to Power Company One of Mayor Haynes' last official acts was to sign the ordinance granting the Minnesota Power and Trolley company a franchise for the distribution of electric light and energy in Minneapolis.

The franchise is for thirty years and a gross earnings tax is provided for. Young Rough Is Fined Edward Hanley was fined $10 yesterday on the charge of resisting an officer. He is one of the gang of young men who assaulted Patrolmen.Lindahl and Larson, of the South station and rescued three men who had been arrested by Lindahl and Larson. The policemen were beaten about the head with bottles and other weapons. Hanley was arrested Sunday.

Other members of the crowd of roughs are known and they will be arrested on sight. McKnight Buys Land S. T. McKnight has purchased the corner at Fifth street and Second avenue south, diagonally across from the New York Life building. This adjoins the Deering property at Second avenue south and Fourth street on which a $500,000 office and bank building is to be erected this season.

Johnson Made Chairman F. B. Johnson was elected chairman of tke Hennepin county commissioners yesterday. The new members, S. D.

Hamilton and Frank C. Cook, were sworn in and M. W. Nash, who has held a place about the court house for nearly two decades, made feeling remarks upon leaving office for at least four years. Pratt to Be President John A.

Schlener was re-elected temporary president of the Minneapolis school board yesterday and W. K. Hicks temporary secretary. When Director F. B.

Chute returns today it is expected Robert Pratt will be elected president and W. K. Hicks secretary. Reduce Cotton Supply ASHEK, Jan. thousand dollars' worth of cotton, estimated at sixty bales, gathered together in a huge pile furnished bonfire with which to greet the new year.

In the 'presence of a large crowd the torch was applied and the ascending smoke was a witness, it was declared, that the farmers of this section are not to be outdone by those elsewhere in the effort to reduce the supply of cotton and restore the equilibrium of the market. THE PAUL GLOBE, TUESDAY, JANUABY 3, 1905 PRESENTMENT 18 TO BE WITHDRAWN But a New One Is Forthcoming Repeating Charges Against Bishop Talbot PHILADELPHIA, Jan. developments today in the controversy between Rev. Dr. I.

N. W. Irvine, the deposed priest of the Episcopal church, and Bishop Ethelbert Talbot indicate that the ease of Dr. Irvine against the bishop has entirely collapsed. J.

Frederick Jenkinson, of Philadelphia, associate counsel with Herbert Noble, of New for the presenters, is said to be on his way to St. Louis with a statement for Bishop Tuttle, presiding bishop of the Episcopal church, asking leave to withdraw the presentment against Bishop Talbot and requesting permission to make a new presentment. The new presentment, it is understood, will contain all the charges embodied in the first one. The vestrymen of Huntingdon, whose names appear on the presentment today announced their intention of forwarding a formal statement to Dr. W.

B. Bodine, chairman of the board of inquiry appointed by Bishop Tuttle, demanding" the withdrawal of their signatures from the presentment on the ground that the signatures were procured through irregular methods. Attorney Noble returned here from New York last night and all of today he was closeted with Dr. Irvine, Attorney Jenkinson, the Rev. Benjamin T.

Odell, the Rev. Dr. W. F. Noble, a brother of the senior counsel, and other presenters.

It was nearly 7 o'clock tonight when the conference came to an end. The first man to leave the room was Dr. Irvine. He would not answer a question. Attorney Jenkinson went directly to the railroad station; where, it is presumed, he took a train for St.

Louis. He, like all the rest, would not answer questions. Another development today was a hurried visit to this city by Bishop Talbot. He came from his home in South Bethlehem and is said to have called upon several persons who are devoted to his interests. He returned home this afternoon.

Appeal From Mr. Irvine HARTFORD, Jan. 2. A prominent Hartford clergyman has received a letter from the Rev. Ingram N.

W. Irvine, who figures in the charges brought against Bishop Talbot, of Philadelphia. The letter indiftates that the writer is in straitened financial circumstances, saying in part: "I have won from the church a court of appeals, but suppose, like all martyrs, must go down under a cloud. Pray for me. I have been hindered by him on all sides.

Wealth and power have been against me. I have lost everything but my life. Today I hold in my pocket a copy of a levy on my few household goods and library for the amount of three months' rent and I have not one dollar in my possession to go toward the the same. Within five or six days all will have been sold above my- head if God does not speak. "This is the way of the cross.

From my eighth year I have been kept in view of the Anglican priesthood; at fifty I was "unlawfully deposed. Today, after spending every dollar in law, I am in poverty and have no Vote of Confidence HUNTINGDON, Jan. 2. The vestry of- St. John's church held a meeting tonight and unanimously adopted a resolution affirming- confidence in Bishop Talbot.

A statement signed by six vestrymen, whose names appear on the Irvine presentment, was forwarded to Dr. W. B. Bodine at Philadelphia. It makes the specific declaration that their signatures were obtained by deceit after they had positively refused to sign a presentment against Bishop Talbot.

The statement, the vestrymen sand, was a complete vindication of Bishop Talbot. ATTORNEYS OF KOCH MAKE A NEW MOVE Continued From First Page action came from Deputy Coroner T. A. Sullivan, and the state was unwilling to proceed without it, fearing that if the regular return were not made it might constitute an error on which a claim for a new trial might be based. On the advice of Judge Webber Clerk, of Court Larson telephoned to Springfield and secured the names of the jurymen.

After a consultation between Koch's attorneys Senator Somerville proposed that they try the case with the ten jurors already secured. Mr. Childs answered that while the state was willing to hasten the trial as much as possible there had been no decision on any such action by the supreme court of this state and he did not consider it safe to agree to the proposal. honor will appreciate our position," he said, addressing Judge Webber. "This will mean a delay of a few hours, but if there is an error it will mean a delay of weeks and prove a great expense to the county." Another Unacceptable Offer Senator Somerville then proposed that" both sides waive the Springfield delegation entirely and use the rest of the venire, but the state refused on the same grounds as before.

"However," said Mr. Childs, "if the defense will stipulate that the telephoning of the names, shall constitute a proper return we are willing to let the trial go on without waiting." This Mr. Somerville declined to do on the ground that it would be stipulating something which is not true. While this discussion between the attorneys was going on Coroner L. A.

Frltsche was telephoning to Springfield and now appeared in court and informed the judge that he had arranged with his deputy to send the return down by team. Dr. O. C. Strickler, who attended Anton Horsak, the witness for the defense who was poisoned a few days ago by eating sausages, says it was undoubtedly a case of ptomaine poisoning, and that there is no reason to believe that any one doctored the meat.

Both Horsak and his wife have recovered. CARGO OF NAPHTHA EXPLODES AT SEA Eleven Members of the Crew of a Nor- wegian Bark Are Killed HAMILTON, Bermuda, Jan. Danish steamer Galia, from Hamburg Dec 8 for Savannah, has arrived here with the survivors of the crew of the Norwegian bark Marpesia, Capt. Jensen, from New York Dec. 9 for Cette.

The Marpesia was blown up at sea by the explosion of her cargo of naphtha, and eleven of her crew were killed. Seven of the crew, who were saved, landed here tonight. The Marpesia carried out of the port of New York 475,000 gallons of naphtha, valued at $44,650. THE GLOBE'S WANTS TERMS OF SURRENDER ARE SET BY NOGI AND STOESSEL Continued From Tenth Page Jng at the Japanese legation. Minister Hayashi was the recipient during the day of hundreds of telegrams of congratulation from all parts of Great Britain and other countries, and official dispatches confirming the news from Tokyo were received at frequent intervals.

Minister Hayashi declined to discuss the probability of peace negotiations. He said, however: "The fall of Port Arthur will at any rate end the horrible slaughter in one part of the -theater of war, and I sincerely hope that in some way it will facilitate final peace. This depends upon Russia and not upon us. It may strengthen the determination of Russia to continue the war at all costs. Its effect on Japan, however, cannot be doubted.

Our fleet is free and the release of the besieging army gives us increased forces available for service elsewhere. Our base becomes more secure than ever." Speaking of Gen. Stoessel, Minister Hayashi said: "The surrender will in no way affect the glory belonging to him and his men" nor our admiration for their splendid defense." Baron Suyematsu, son-in-law of Marquis Ito, and former Japanese minister of the interior, said: "Now that we have again got Port Arthur we will not allow any other power to hold it after we have beaten Russia; and I am now more than ever confident that Japan will be victorious. I do not expect the fall of Port Arthur will make much difference with the progress of the war, though Japan will undoubtedly be in a better position." In British naval circles the prevailing opinion is that the recall of the Russian second Pacific squadron has now become an absolute necessity. Gen.

Stoessel's defense of Port Arthur has excited the admiration of Earl Roberts, commander-in-chief of the British forces. "It has been a magnificent defense," said the veteran fighter, enthusiastically. "What a splendid fellow he is, to be sure! How all the world musUadmire him!" Field Marshal Viscount Wolseley and Maj. Gen. Baden-Powell also pay enthusiastic tributes to Gen.

Stoessel, Gen. Baden-Powell saying: "It is an honorable surrender after a splendid defense." The opinions of public men of all ranks have been canvassed, but few of those questioned would venture beyond similar praises of the bravery and tenacity on both sides in the great struggle. Maj. Gen. Sir Alfred Turner, however, thinks that in face of such a blow to her prestige Russia, to reinstate herself, will turn her attention to the northwestern frontier of India.

The London papers discuss the fall of Port Arthur in all its bearings on future events. The Telegraph devotes five pages to a history of the fortress and all concerned therewith. The sympathies of the British press naturally flow in the direction of Great Britain's ally, but nothing could exceed the generosity of the tributes paid to Gen. Stoessel's magnificent defense. There is considerable difference of opinion as to the lessons to be learned from the siege; but the majority of the editorial-writers take the view that the defense of Port Arthur was a tactical error and that the fortress exercised a fatal fascination for the Russian army and the Russian fleet, and had Russia abandoned Port Arthur at the outset she would probably have been enabled to crush the Japanese advance in Manchuria.

On the other hand, it is agreed that its enormous strength compelled the Japanese to waste their energies for many months and prevented them from employing their full forces against Gen. Kuropatkin, and that the immediate effect will be to revolutionize European ideas of the value of the art of permanent fortification. The question whether it will be possible to raise and repair the Russian warships is also discussed. It is believed that the Japanese may succeed in doing so. Another point exciting keen interest is the status of Wei-hai-wei, which, according to treaty, was to be held only so long as Russia remained in possession of Port Arthur.

The idea is, however, that Great Britain will continue to hold Wei-hai-wei. Admiral Sir Cyprianbridge holds this view and thinks there is nothing to prevent Great Britain from making a fresh convention with China. The fali of Port Arthur caused great rejoicing among the alien Jewish population at the East end of London. There is much talk in the press and elsewhere of the possibilities of peace but such discussion generally is regarded as valueless at the present stage of affairs. FRANCE THINKS RUSSIA WILL FIGHT HARDER PARIS, Jan.

news of the surrender of Port Arthur created a profound impression here and was the universal theme of conversation in official and diplomatic quarters and with the public generally. The newspapers discuss the matter at much length and in a tone of sadness. The prevailing French view is summed up by the Temps, which says the historic defense of Sevastopol has now been surpassed, Port Arthur adding a glorious page to military annals, which will long remain unequaled. The Temps points out that the surrender will exert a tremendous moral effect favorable to Japan. The Japanese, the paper says, are now revenged for the loss of Port Arthur after the Chino-Japanese war, French military critics regard the surrender of Port Arthur as rendering Gen.

Kuropatkin's position increasingly dangerous, as the besieging army of 80,000 men is now released and will reinforce the Japanese army in the north. It.is expected that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron will proceed no further in the direction of the seat of war. The hope is expressed in some official quarters that the surrender of the fortress will hasten peace; but the prevailing view is that the fall will accentuate Russia's resistance. Some Paris journals assert that Japanese occupation of Port Arthur will constitute a menace to all Europe, which the chancelleries should prepare to meet. act like 39 Jar fs! -for the fi 'Wr ii Cents DruggistsJH MUKDEN GUNS BOOM Keep It Dp Every Day, but With Little Effect GENERAL KURORTS HEADQUARTERS, Jan.

positions of the Japanese and Russian armies south of Mukden have not been materially changed during the past two months. In few places are the lines more than a mile apart and they are so close before the Japanese left that loud taking in the Russian trenches can be heard plainly. Though the Russians became very quiet during the first half of December, they have renewed the bombardment of the Japanese center and left in the past fortnight and have selected several points to which they devote the most attention. The Japanese usually lie low in their trenches and remain silent. Often several hundred shells will be fired in a day without doing damage, although occasionally a shell strikes an exposed group or kills some careless soldier.

Almost every hour of the day artillery is booming or rifles are popping somewhere along the lines. The "Russian bombardment usually begins before noon and continues until sunset, but it is often resumed from midnight to the breaking of day. Frequently sorties are made by the companies or by detachments when the fighting becomes severe. Both armies are using the hand grenade as one of their regular Aveapons for close fighting. Reconnoitering forces constantly patrol the country on both flanks to guard against offensive movements, and to protect the auxiliary lines of communication.

The Russians obtain supplies from Sinmintin, thirty miles west of Mukden, where the Chinese branch railway ends, and they must protect the roads going to that point, while the Japanese guard the highways going to the Yalu river. The barren surface of the land and the remarkably clear atmosphere make surprises almost impossible. The fields are without shrubbery or other cover for the troops and the hills are bare and rocky. There are no forests within the area of operations and tree 3 are few and widely scattered. The only cover for moving troops is the deep ravines which seam the country.

There is seldom a cloud in the sky and the nights are bright. All the soldiers on the front live in underground huts which are heated with charcoal. Field Marshal Oyama, Gen. Kodama, his chief of staff, and Gen. Fukushima occupy an ordinary Chinese "house in a small village.

Gen. Kuroki's headquarters are in a similar establishment, while the attaches live on a comparatively luxurious scale in a Russian building. The soldiers beyond the first line are quartered in Chinese houses and in generous structures of corn stalks and earth. The Chinese share their dwellings with the army and are paid rent for them, besides receiving good prices for all produce and extraordinary wages for their labor. The transport department hires an army of carts, animals and coolies, paying four times the normal prices, and skilled labor commands corresponding rates.

The prices of coal and wood have risen proportionately. The women and children who deserted their homes during the Russian occupation have gradually returned until almost the entire normal population is back. Although they at first regarded the Japanese with distrust, good relations have now been established. The roads are at their best in the winter time, being hard and smooth, and the transport department Is taking advantage of this to accumulate quantities of supplies. Charcoal burning Is one of the army's chief activities and the sparse timber is being consumed at a rate which is likely to leave the country almost bare in the sprfng.

The Chinese do not object to this because the timber is bought and not confiscated. The smoke of kilns 4s seen everywhere. The Japanese soldiers are all clothed in furs and heavy overcoats and the equipment and supplying of the army continue, as they have since the Japanese landed in Korea, nearly a year ago, to be almost above criticism. Russian Securities Stand Shock BERLIN, Jan. 2.

securities which are largely dealt in on the Berlin bourse, stood the shock of the Port Arthur surrender with scarcely a quiver, government securities losing onetenth of 1 per cent and private companies' shares losing from a quarter to half a point. So soon as the report reached the boerse powerful financial influences immediately met it with statements -that the Russian government would not deviate in the slightest from its determination to fight out the war and by repeating the figures recently put forward that Russian finances as shown by the expenditure of less than $400,000,000 over the usual budget since the war began would permit Russia continuing the war for ten years without reaching a breaking point. It might be supposed that the news from Port Arthur would ruin the chances of the new Russian loan, but bankers consider the loan is likely to be taken without difficulty. Steamer Is Held Up NEWPORT NEWS, Jan. The situation tonight indicates that the predicted holdup of the German steamship Ardla, with the two lake submarine boats on board, reported to be destined ultimately for the Russian navy, has occurred.

Just after a pilot had boarded the steamer, which was scheduled to sail at 4 o'clock this afternoon, a stranger appeared at the shipyard and a few minutes later it was announced that the vessel would not sail. Information as to the cause of the change of programme, the destination of the submarines and the identity of the messenger is refused. Expression From the Pope ROME, Jan. news of the fall of Port Arthur was received here today at first with incredulity. Pope.

Pius, on hearing the news, exclaimed: "Let us hope that It Is an augury that the end of the war is near, now that both nations have proved ttielr mettle." In military circles it is believed that Field Marshal Oyama, once he has been reinforced by Gen. Nogi's troops before Port Arthur, will take the offensive energetically, notwithstanding the rigors of the climate, while Port Arthur will become a Japanese stronghold should the fortunes of war turn against that nation. Conferences at St. Petersburg ST. PETERSBURG, Jan.

2. The committee of ministers has begun meetings to discuss the reform manifesto. A privately convened conference of representatives of the government and of private shipbuilding yards has also held the first of a series of meetings to discuss plans for rebuilding the Russian navy. PRISONER'S FIGHT KILLS POLICEMAN Continued From First Page ner A. W.

Miller, who viewed the body, will hold an autopsy today. The police say that they were called to Olson's home several times the past night on account of his actions. It is said that he was abusing his family, driving his children out of doors. They were called the last time about 12 o'clock, and Patrolmen Anthony and Noreen were sent to the house. The patrol wagon was also sent.

Patrolmen Schulte and Noreen had a struggle with Olson in the house before he could be removed, and he continued his resistance after he had been forced out to the sidewalk. The officers say he used his feet and that he kicked Noreen in the stomach and Schulte on the legs. When the patrol wagon arrived Cronin assisted the two officers and Olson continued to fight. The man was finally placed in the patrol wagon, and Noreen, Schulte and Cronin took seats near him. Cronin did not show any effects of the fight until the wagon was near the station, when he fell forward, his helmet dropping from his head.

Cronin a Veteran Policeman Richard Cronin was fifty-two years old, and lived with his wife and three children at 266 Charles street. He had been on the police force since March 10, 1887. He was for many years a patrolman of the central station, and was transferred to the Margaret district two years ago. Later he was detailed as night jailer and conductor of the wagon. Before entering the police department Cronin was employed In a wholesale house.

Olson is forty-two years old and is a plumber, employed by Rudolph Bergstrom, at 632 East Minnehaha street. The charges to be preferred against him will depend upon the result of the coroner's investigation. An inquest will be held. HIDES, PELTS, WOOL, ETC. Quotations furnished by D.

Liberal advances made on consignments. PEABODY IS GAINER His Man Will Be Speaker of Colorado House DENVER, Jan. cause of Gov. Peabody made a distinct gain this afternoon when the Republican caucus selected W. H.

Dickson, of this city, as speaker of the next house. Although Mr. Dickson has been a resident of this state for three years, he has not been active in the interest of any Republican faction, but his candidacy was pushed by tha friends of Gov. Peabody. Frank W.

Frewen, of Teller county, was the Candidate of the Wolcott faction, and he made a strong fight for several hours. Matters were finally adjusted harmoniously, everybody in the caucus joining in naming Dickson for speaker, and he was nominated by acclamation. The Republican leaders have not yet determined positively upon their line of action after the legislature is opened. It is possible that Harry C. Riddle, one of the three members of the election commission, may present a report to the legislature declaring that there was much fraud perpetrated in Denver against the candidacy of Gov.

Peabody. while his two fellow commissioners simply certify to-the election returns less the districts thrown out by the supreme court. The legislature would then have for its consideration practically a majority and minority report on the result of the election in Denver. Some of the leading Republican politicians say this will not be done, but the attorneys who are handling the easie for Gov. Peabody say that it may be done.

Another plan that is meeting with fa- vor among many members is to follow the action of the supreme court in reviewing the vote in this city. As soon as the court has finished with a certain number of precincts, the legislature is to take them up and conduct its own examination, along the lines similar to those employed by the supreme court. It would be months before the legislative committee having this recount in charge would be prepared to report. The Republican leaders have no hesitancy in declaring that one of the things they will do is to unseat the Democratic senators Born and Healey, who were two years ago given the seats of the Republicans Dick and McDonald.
