SENATE TALKS SIX
: HOURS ON TREATY
Reading of Fall Amendments
Checked by Oratory.
CUMMINS RAPS -LEAGUE
Johnson, California, Also Pleads
for His Amendments Providing
for Increase in IT. S. Vote.
WASHINGTON; Sept. 26.-r-The Ger
man peace treaty got nearly , six hours
tif speeding- up in the senate today,
but without reaching: the Fall amend
ments, which had been made the spe
cial order of business by a strict
j'arty. vota earlier in the week.
Chairman Lodge of the foreign re
lations committee called up the pact
two hours ahead of the regular sched
ule, and from that time until ad
journment it was discussed continu
n.ly, with a big crowd looking on
from the galleries and afraid to cheer
because of ominous warnings . from
puards with orders to eject those who
made a noise with hands or feet.
Rraervnrtona Seem Certain.
Just berore ihe discussion started
vith an address by Senator Cummins,
Iowa, attacking the league of nations
ccvenant, republicans and democrats
alike had heard reports that the
president, on his way home from his
-western speaking trip, would be ad
vised Monday, perhaps., by some dem
ocratic leaders that there w-as no hope
of ratifying the treaty without res
ervations. There was no reference
to the president's cancellation of the
rest of his speaking programme.
After a colloquy between Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, in charge of
the administration forces, and Senator
Lodge concerning methods of pro
cedure relating to the Kail amend
ments, which would exempt the United
Ktates from representation on foreign
commissions created under the treaty,
reading of that part Of the printed
text taking in the last of the 32
amendments was ordered.
JohDMon Sot In California.
But the reading was never started.
Senator Hitchcock had contended that
the agreement was to. vote on the
amendments today, but calling for the
record, Senator Lodge and others
showed only consideration was to be
gin today and in order to save time it
was further agreed to get through
with the reading before opening tho
debate. '
Senator "Williams of Mississippi, com
ing late into the chamber, asked per
mission to put into the record certain
documents sent to him from. Califor
nia concerning Senator Johnson's fight
against the league of nations. Sena.
tor Williams had just remarked, that
Senator Johnson had returned to Cali
fornia to continue his attack on the
president and to look after his politi
cal fences, when the latter walked
down the aisle, with fire in his eye.
Flood of Oratory Started.
That opened the floodgates of ora
tory and the senate never got down to
its reading. Vice-President Marshall
announced, however, that the busi
ness before the senate was the Fall
amendments, which would come dp
automatically every day at 2 o'clock
or earlier, and that the amendments
would remain the order of business
until disposed of finally.
Senator Johnson, who started to
night for California, pleaded for the
adoption of his amendment to the
league covenant which would give the
United States the same voting power
as Great Britain and declared that
he was going among the people to
point out to them that the pact was
an affront to the patriotism of the
American people.
Senator Johnson, California, asked
why Great Britain should insist on
having six votes and said his amend
ment wotlld not deny votes to the
British colonies.
The league assembly, Mr. Johnson
declared, would deal with every ques
tion touching "the peace' of the
world." The assembly's voting power,
therefore, is of "transcendant impor
tance," he declared.
GallerleM Are Warned.
There was a faint start of hand
clapping when Senator Johnson con-
eluded. Senator Williams immediate
ly replied, denying that Great Britain
had six votes in the league. He de
clared she had but one and that the
Lritish colonies had one each and that
they were "self-governing common
w ealths."
Senator Borah, republican, of Idaho,
asked if India was so governed. When
Senator Williams started to reply
spectators in the galleries broke into
laughter and drew a sharp rebuke
from Vice-President Marshall. He
ordered all persons ejected who par
ticipated in the demonstration and de
clared emphatically that the senate
rule must be enforced or abrogated.
Senator Williams declared the presi
dent had answered fully every point
raised by Senator Johnson and every
body else.
Taft Flan Called I'njuHt.
Former President Taft had proposed
an amendment, he said, that self-governing
dominions should not have
membership in the council and Pre
mier Borden immediately insisted that
Canada should have the right of rep
resentation on the council, or else
she would not be interested in the
league.
Such a plan, he argued, would have
been unjust to Canada, New Zealand
and Australia,
He contended there w-as no reason
for the United States to fear a people
who speak the same language, who
have achieved civilization and, accord
ing to the same ethical rule, who
have the same love of liberty and the
Fame dread of autocracy, the same
love of peace and the same hatred of
war.
Hyphenates Againut Treaty.
Senator Williams said the only or
ganized opposition to the league came
from the senate and "certain hyphen
ated societies."
"You can't for the president to ac
cept an emasculated document," he
paid. "There are shelves in the White
House."
Senator Johnson replying to Sen
ator Williams, asserted that besides
having six votes in the league assem
bly, British colonies are eligible to
seats in the council. He also em
phasized that India also is given a
vote in the assembly, although not
self-governing and asserted India's
voting power is without justifica
tion: "The one great asset of peace is
our republic." said Senator Johnson,
striding up and down the floor and
pounding desks in impassioned em
phasis. "We are the dominating na
tion, the richest, the most powerful,
and our nation should be allowed an
equal vote with any other nation in
the world.
"I can't tolerate that our nation
should have one-sixth the represen
tation of any nation on earth."
Troopa "Wanted Home.
The debate which followed covered
a, wide range with a technical discus
sion of league covenant articles and
constitutional arguments. Senator
Brandegee, republican of Connecticut
and a member of the foreign relatione
committee, announced that he would
vote for all amendments and reserva
tions and then vote against the treaty.
senator Brandegee declared he want
ed to get the American army out of
Kurope-and to keep this country from
the entanglements and embroilments
of Kurope, "whose map now resembles
a kaleidoscope.
Oeclaring that nine-tenths of the
men who were in service were op
posed to the league. Senator Brande
gee said the argument that it must
rot be amended because that would
mean sending it back to conference.
"w-as pusillanimous.' ' -- - -
"If the senate has the courage and
patriotism to perform its manifest
duty,". Senator. Brandegee said, "it
will ask that the United States be put
on the same voting basis as the
British empire. And if they want us
in this league they will agree to this
before you can count six. which is
Lnglamd's number of votes to our
one." .
Senator Brandegee declared -that-if
the president's interpretation of ar
ticle 10 was correct that American
troops could not be sent abroad with
out the consent of congress he could
see no' reason why it should not be so
stated, in the covenant.

WOMEN'S LKAGl'E HEARS AD
DRESS OX PEACE TREATY.
Chester II. Kowell, Fresno Pub
lisher, Says England's Six
' Votes Are Harmless.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. .26. "All
the confusion that has been imported
into the consideration of the peace
treaty and the league of nations
covenant has been 'ue 'o the diri of
oratory," Chester H. Rowell, Fresno
publisher, told a mass meeting called
by the Women's League for the Peace
TreRty here today.
President Wilson already has point
ed out that the six votes given the
British empire in the league would
be harmless.
It is not true that England has
six votes in the league, Mr. Rowell
said, in the sense that the six votes
are controlled by any one authority.
"Frankly I do not defend the vote
of India," he said. "I think . is
wrong in principle, but since the
wrong is one which is harmless in
practice it is not worth while over
turning anything to undo it. These
four votes of Canada, Australia, New
Zealand and South Africa are the
votes of four independent, self-gov
erning nations included within the
British empire by the theoretical
sovereignty of the king.
"The colonies, "with ourselves con
stitute the only four Anglo-Saxon
nations facing the Pacific. Upon any
issue on which England could be con
ceived to differ these four nations
would side with America and not
with England. We shall always be
sure of at least four of the six votes
popularly attributed to England, even
if England votes the other way.
"The fact is that we have three
votes already; our own and those of
Panama and Cuba- If these three
are not enough we can easily get two
more by giving to Porto Rico and to
the 1'hilippines the same degree of
self-government without theoretical
independence which New Zealand
and Australia now enjoy. If we wish
two more they could easily be got
a little later by assuming protec
torates over Armenia and Syria."
' The Shantung award was held to
be unjustifiable by Mr. Rowell, but
he believed that Japan would restore
the peninsula to China, "in whole
hearted good faith." The treaty, he
held, should be ratified now, "for the
very purpose, if for no other, of tak
ing the shortest way now open to
ward the undoing -of this wrong."
Mr. Rowell made the charge that
"if it had not been for the demagogic
tactlessness of two Irish-American
politicians, a practical way would
have been found, and was in process
of being found, to give the Irish rep
resentatives a forum for a public
hearing at the bar of the world's
opinion."
Justice Bean's Home Robbed.
SALEM, Or., Sept. 26. (Special.)
The home of Justice Bean of the Ore
gon supreme court was entered here

beries were reported to the police to

value of the loot taken will exceed
$200.

ASQUITH DENIES
MUNITIONS SHORT
Field Marshal French Is Ac
; cused of Bad Memory.
OWN WORDS RECALLED
Letters From British Commander
. Are Read to Show That He Said
Ammunition Was Plentiful.
(Copyright by the New York World. Pub
lished by Arrangement.)
LONDON, Sept. 26. (Special.) Her
bert Henry Asquith, ex-premier, who
has Just returned from Italy, has
! issued a reply to Field Marshal Lord
French's new preface to his book
-1914."
In his reply Mr. Asquith says he
sees no reason to withdraw or quali
fy one word in the speech he made
here on June 3 last. It should be un
derstood that, in that speech, Mr.
Asquith, surrounded 'by his former
cabinet and applauded by 20 of his
supporters, replied to criticisms of the
Asquith government in the early days
of the war, made in his book by Lord
French, the first commander of the
British forces in France.
Mr. Asquith said that, baore Lord
Kitchener's visit to France. Lord
French's intended movements had
filled the cabinet with consternation.
The moverhents, the former premier
added, would have had, in the Judg
ment of the cabinet, the effect of
leaving the French army in the lurch
in the moment of supreme need. This
consternation, Mr. Asquith said, was
shared by the French government.
French' Ovrn Worda Rebound.
' In reply to the charge of Lord
French that he was not supported by
the government in the supply of mu
nitions, the former premier read a
lettr he received from Lord French
at the time of the formation of the
koalltion government. In the letter
Lord French said:
"I am sure that in the whole his
tory of the war no general In the
field has ever been helped in a dif
ficult task by the head of his govern
ment as T havp been supported and
t'1
'"
strengthened by your unfailing
sympathy and encouragement."
The former premier read a passage
from a report by Lord Kitchener to
him Just after the formation of the
coalition government In- 1915, in which
Kitchener said:
"I talked today with General
French, who authorized me to' tell
you that the present supply of am
munition will be as much as his
troops will be able to use over the
next forward movements.".
Bad Memory la Blamed.
In his reply today Mr. Asquith refers-
to .complimentary letters he
wrote to Lor a French as sufficient
showing that "it was my practice
when head of the government, to con
vey with all possible emphasis to the
general In supreme command In the
field, the expression of our confidence
and of encouragement."
"If I had known or suspected," adds
Mr. Asquith, "what Lord French now
avows, that, at the date of my letter of
May, 1915, he was engaged behind the
back and without the knowledge of
his official chief. Lord Kitchener,
and of myseif. In a maneuver to up
set the government at home it is
probable that my communication
would have been couched in some
what different terms."
Mr. Asquith concludes:
"To have a bad memory is a mis
fortune, not a crime, but people who
have bad memories should not at
tempt to write their own or other
people's lives."
PROWLERS AGAIN ACTIVE
Hotel Room and Private Home En
tered by Thieves.
L. L. Simpson, Norrls hotel, re
ported to the police yesterday that
his room had been entered during his

clothes, a gold watch and other ar
ticles. Mabel Allen, Fourth and Tay
lor streets, said prowlers had taken
a camera, a flashlight and a bunch
of keys while she was attending the
state fair at Salem.
Thieves entered the home of John
M. Mann, city commissioner, 507 East
Sixteenth street North, but were
frightened away before anything was

through a window which had been
pried open.
