' V a .hinK'toii, November 2o: Magnu.. i .Johnson, of Minnesota, "dirt farmer Senator elect," already is acquiring the traditional senatorial veneer. Late lYiday ho 'was closetod for some time with Senator Henry Caoot Lodge of . Massachusets ono of the old guard, scion of a Pilgrim family and a blue blooded New Englander. Senator Johnson was taken around to the Lodge office by Senator Reed Sunoot, of Utah, another of the old guard. Only laat Thursday the new senator, whose election was hailed as a great radical victory, had a pleasant time with Senator Charles Curtis, of Kan sas, organization party "whip" of the senate. "Very favorably impressed," was the comment of Senator Lodge after his talk with the dirt farmer from Minnesota, who says he is going to live in a Maryland town near Washington so that he and Mrs, John 8o'nj"may keep a cow." Senator Lodge saw he discovered that Senator John ;?ofr had been a regular Republican dqpgate to the Chicago convention of l'.llfl and apparently: was still a Re-, publican, and also that he looked bet ted, than his pictures. As to that, Sen ator Magnus Johnson exhibited none of the earmarks of radicalism. He wore- a hfitty business suit and tie, his nails were freshly manicured and nis hair neatly cut, his megaphone voice had on the soft pedals and. he looked almost like the regulation senator. John Docrson, negro, 68, was sen tenced to a line of $100 and three months in jail at ?Anniston, Ala., Sat urday. i!or violation of the prohibition laws. He is the father of 26 children, 19 sons and 7 daughters. Lev/is Edwards, one of six. men who escaped from the Eastern Pennsylva nia penitentiary at Philadelphia, on July 14, has been captured in Hono lulu. boasts that the escaping prisoners paid guards $30,000 to effect, liicjir oacape.
