EFFORT FAILS TO INSURE 1
VOTE TODAY? OUTCOME
RESTS ON FINAL POSITION
TO BE TAKEN BY SEVERAL
SENATORS
Washington, Jan. 12.?The fight
in the senate over the right of Tru_ '>
man H. Newberry (Republican) of
Michigan to a seat in that body,
which has been contested by Henry
Ford, his opponent In the 1918 elec
tion, continued in all of its in_
i tensity today. When the session
ended tonight predictions of the
outcome generality were held in
abeyance, so uncertain had the re
sult become. It was agreed among
leaders that the outcone rested on
s *
the final postion to 'be taken by
fewer than half a dozen senators,
whos attitude has not been disclose.
ed.
Hopes for a vote today were
dashed eariy by last minute de
mands of senators desiring more v
time to speak. Even an attempt by ?
SenAor Spencer (Republican) of
Missouri who is leading the ftew_
berry supporters to -obtain an
agreement to vote at 4 o'clock to
morrow was blocked, Senator King
(Democrat) of Utah objecting. Mr.
King suggested the agreement
might be ehtered into tomorrow if
brought up tihen.
The introduction of two new res
olutions dealing with Mr. New
berry's right to a seat also compli
cated efforts to bring their the con
troversy to a close and deferred
agreement on a possible voting
time. As a resudt of the new reso_
lotions being1 put in, those senators '
whose time had 'been exhausted un_
der the hour of limitation imposed
by unanimous consent, again could
gain the floor and several took ad_ '
* vantage of the opportunity.
The reeolataoita. brought in today,
both to declare' the seat vacant, J
were by Senators Owen of Okla
homa and Walsh of Montana, Dem_
(
ocrats. Mr. Ofrensad he had sought
to eliminate all disputed points in
the controversy so that the senate
could determine solely whether it
was sound public policy that such
large aoMunts of money should be (
eacpended ia a campaign. Mr. 1
Walsh's ' resolution represented a J
recasting of his original proposition 1
declaring the seat vacant but re_ 1
drafted "to express in firmest tone" c
a statement of the senate's views 1
with reapect to the welfare of the 5
nation, when large sums of money
are used in a campaign election. 1
' The possibility of a move by the 1
Democrats to seek the recommit the
whole case to the senate elections
and privileges committee temporari
ly set aside during the day, was
talked of again after the close of
the debate, No decision was report
ed, however, as to whether such a
motion should be made. Leaders
said tonight that further informal
conferences would be held among
the Democrats before the senate
meets tomorrow.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK COMES UP
TO LAST YEAR?OUTPUT TO
BE REGULATED BY DEMAND
AND ALSO BY ABILITY TO PAY
NOT PRODUCING MUCH.
Charleston, Jan. 12.?With sever
ll more or less perplexing factors en
uring into the situation, the outlook
for the fertilizer industry in Charles
;on, as well as in th^. South general
y, is regarded as problematical, but
>n the whole it can be stated that
;his industry, which is one of Char
eston's most important, has passed
;he worst period of the . depression
vhi</h struck it with full force last
rear, and is now groping its way to
i more hopeful condition. One local
ertilizer man is of the opinion that
he business this year will in volume
)e approximately the same as last
th
le;
of
M
fa
Ci
at
rear, when just about half the nor
nal business was done.
The session of fertilizer shipments
lsually commence here about Janu
iry 1 to January 15, but this year it
s not expeeted to open until at least
February 1. \Vith few exceptions,
he local factories have been closed
;ince last March, a few being tem
porarily in operation now. The fac
ories have adopted a very conserva
ive policy in manufacturing and aire
lot producing beyond what is requir
ed to take care of current business,
t has been a number of months since
icid phosphate, one of the most im
jortant of fertilizers, has been man
cactured, and if the demand for \his
aroduct is as great as last year, there
is likely to be a shortage. The stocks
>n hand at present in the factories
ronsist almost entirely of raw prod
lcts.

1921 HEALTHIEST YEAR,
BUT AUTO DEATHS HIGHER
!)ver 150,000 Fewer Deaths Than in
Previous Year Says Life In
surance man.
.
New York, Jan. 12.?There were
153,000 fewer deaths in the United
States and Canada in 1921 than in
L920, said Robert Lynn Cox, 3rd
rice-president of the Metropolitan
L?:fe Insurance Company, in an ad
Iress before the 15th annual conven
;ion of the Association of Life In
surance Presidents "here recently.
Mr. Cox presented statistics based
ipon official records of companies
;ransacting 80 per cent of the life
nsurance business which he said,
nay "indicate the dawn of a material
A-f + Vtn cno r? rvf Kiimnn
WilgVUVUlllg Vi. VilV
ife in the two countries." The fig
ires show that this year will be en
;ered on the records as "the health
est ever experienced." Motor-driverf
vehicles, however, are exacting an
ilarmingly growing toll of victims.
The statistics compiled from the
nortality experience of 37 compan
es, covered 27,000,000 human lives
vhich of necessity reflect the gener
il health conditions throughout vthe
sountry. The most amazing factor in
he health situation of the year draw
ng to a close, according to Mr. Cox,
s the almost complete disappearance
)f influenza as a cause of death, only
1,716 being reported for 10 months
)f 1921 as against 25,400 for the cor
responding period of 1920, which
,vas not regarded as an epidemic
re,r
Excess insurance losses of 1918
md 1919 occasioned by influenza
,vere estimated conservatively at
nore than $170,000,000. The present
/ear's mortality grain, translated in
A* maiav oavaH in the navment of
ieath cla.ms by all life insurance
companies of the United States for
L 921, tneasured by outstanding in
surance, according to Mr. Cox, will
amount in round numbers to at least
551,000,000.
"A matter of no small concern
among increasing causes of death,'
3aid Mr. Cox, "is the steadily mount
ing mortality caused by automobiles
and other motor-driven vehicles. The
number of deaths in 1921, reported
by the life insurance companies that
furnished their figures for the com
pilation on which this paper is based,
was 2,624, an increase of nearly 15
per cent over 1920. Our experience
