It has been there in fact during the entire administration of President Roosevelt, and It was there throughout many preceding administrations. Ita presence was not, however, detected until laat Saturday. To Representative Shirley of Kentucky is due the credit of its discovery. When Mr. Shirley, who was .sitting in the chamber, chanced to look up he found the stick, as he puts it, as .big as life, suspended immediately over the head of Senator Tillman. The Instrument is a part of one of the painting and it is so promi nent that many senators to whom it was pointed out, commented upon tholr failure to observe it before. |
