DEMAND FOR JUSTICE
AMERICAN MILLIONAIRE. STATEMENT IN SENATE WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. The Senate witnessed an unique and dramatic scene when William Vare, the multi-millionaire, appeared in person to demand the seat which was denied him by the Senatorial investigation, whose members found widespread bribery in connection with his election three years ago. It was the first time a non-member was permitted to speak in this manner. Partly paralysed, Vare’s useless arm hung in a pocket, while under tremendous emotion and gripping the desk to prevent his falling, he read a lengthy statement demanding justice and fairness. He accused other Senators of buying their way in. Vare’s physicians watched him closely as he pleaded in a faltering voice.
