THE LATE'SEXAT^U -MARTIN The Senate last n.'Vht, on motion of Senator Swanson, ' recessed until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock for purpos(. of enabling senators to at tend tin1 funeral of the late Senator Thomas S.

Among many messages of sym pathy received by the family was one. from President \Vilson. iBurial was in the cemetery of the Uivcirsify of Virginia. The Baltimore Sun of this morn ing contained a long editorial con taining suitable eneoniurns in res pect to the memory/ of. Virginia's senior Senator. Among ?. other things our contemporary says: "There has been in 'recent years further development of new points of view in the Did Dominion. In the matter of Prohibitum, the state of the cavaliers and: of unrestricted hospitality has become more Puritan than Massachusetts. Tri the com monwealth in which women would formerly have disdained to clamor for office or political privileges, there are some who are ready to swap t!ie divine right of queens'nip for the ballot box and all the Pan dora-blessings that therein lie. New mental currents and undercurrents now puzzle the prophet who under takes to determine whether Virgin ia's reaction to the present situa tion will be toward old traditions, or toward something; still more prac tical and radical. "All the old intellectual fires have not expired ''in the mother of States ? and statesmen.' The country needs i her former leadership now as it has | rarely needed it before. She* can ; rnder a great national service if she lean contribute to the Senate at this,' ; juncture a man as strong and as [ brave as Thomas S.

De velopments in Baltimore, however, show emissaries of this vicious class are at work in Baltimore, and i there is positive proof that they have invaded West Virginia.

Th? situation in Monongah'-la and Taylor counties is described by De partment of Justice officials as: ?'particularly nasty." Meetings. <!i led and attended largely by Rus- j si:.ns. have precipitated some vio lence among the coal miners, the reports say. jDflicials assumed that the leaders f v'ie disorderly ek'ismts are re presentatives of the UtiM-i of Ka <ian Workers against whom the de partment ia conducting a vigorous campaign. The reports indicate that work ? f the Russians is directed at in finiMating miners who seek to re 'r.rn to work following the with drawal of the coal strike order.
