"POLITICS," BORAH SHOUTS Measure Gets 21 Democratic,! 17 Republican Votes. ROLLCALL SHOWS LINEUP Several Senators Absent, Paired, Reported Favorable Ratifica tion Vote Today Expected. WASHINGTON. March IS. Proceed ing undar forced draft to reach a final ratification of the peace treaty tomor row, the senate broke from control of the republican leaders today and un- expectedly swept into the republican reservation programme a declaration of sympathy for self-government of Ireland. The proposal won out in committee of the whole by a vote of 3S to 3G after an all-day debate. On a neces-l sary second vote this action was con firmed, 45 to 38. During the debate democratic lead ers supported the reservation and the managers on the republican side op posed it because it Included a general declaration that this nation adhered to the principle of self-determination of peoples. On the first rollcall 21 democrats and 17 republicans, includ ing the irreconcilable foes of the treaty, voted for adoption, while 20 republicans and 16 democrats Were recorded in the negative. Vote Tonight Predicted. An attempt to secure unanimous consent that a vote be taken on rati fication of the peace treaty tomorrow was blocked by Senator Lenroot, re publican, Wisconsin, leader of the mild reservationists," and the senate adjourned after 11 P. M. Most leaders predicted that a final vote would be reached late tomorrow night Revival of the Irish question pro longed into the night the senate's task of putting into final form the resolution of ratification upon which it is planned to bring a vote tomor row. One after another a long list of miscellaneous reservations was voted down, with the leaders bent on completing their task before adjourn ment. Lodge Greatly Displeased. The outcome of the ratification vote was not generally regarded as having been Influenced by the day's developments, though a number of republicans counted on to vote to rat ify, including Senator Lodge of Mas sachusetts, party leader, expressed bitter disapproval of the Irish reser vation in its final form. On all sides the prediction was made that the treaty would fail to receive the nec essary two-thirds, though some sen ators thought that on a second roll call, which probably will be taken be fore an attempt to ratify Is given up, enough democrats to put it through would join the majority. The text of the Irish reservation, as introduced by Senator Gerry, dem ocrat of Rhode Island, and adopted by the senate, follows: "In consenting to the ratification of the treaty with Germany the United States adheres to the principle of self ", M. determination and to the resolution , . . of sympathy with the aspirations of the Irish people for a government of : their own choice adopted by the sen ate June 6, 1919, and declares that when self-government is attained by Ireland, a consummation it is honed is i at hand, it should promptly be ad- J mitted as a member of the league of j nations. 1 Rollcall Shows Line-no.

MINISTRY IS EXPECTED TODAY Revolutionary Trobps Are Marched Out of City. VIOLENCE FEATURES EXIT Soldiers Lined Up for Departure, Jeered by People, Finally Open Fire, Wounding Many. BERLIN, March 18. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The Ebert government is again in control in Berlin. Vice Chancellor Sc'uiffer, in whose hands the sudden retirement of Dr. Wolf gang Kapp, temporarily placed the administrative power, and Gustav Noske, minister oi defense, are en gaged in bringing about order and restoring activities to their normal basis. The full ministry is expected back In Berlin tomorrow. Regular troops, loyal to the Ebert regime, are guarding the streets, and detachments of them spent part of the day in tearing down wire entan glements and barricades which the revolutionary soldiers had erected. There was an unfortunate accident. the firing of a mine to destroy a bar ricade at Kottbuser, in southeastern Berlin, killing 12 persons and Injur ing 28. Troops Take Vengeance. The Baltic troops, leaders of the insurgent bands that marched into Berlin Saturday, took vengeance on the people who hooted and jeered them in Wilhelmstrasse and Unter den Linden. They were lined up for departure from the city, and after withstanding the jeers for a time more or less impatiently, they opened fire, wounding several. ' After the troops had passed Bran denburg gate they fired a parting volley with machine guns wounding a score or more, and the terrified mob rushed to the Adlon hotel, the gates of which -were torn down in the ensu ing panic. Dr. Kapp's descent upon Berlin and his subsequent retreat has precipi tated parliamentary chaos. New Cnblnet Forecast. The coalition parties must construct a new cabinet, which Is expected to reveal at least half a dozen new faces. The assembly will not be dissolved Immediately, because it must first ap prove the budget, dispose of further taxation measures and the law de creeing the nationalization of the railways and pass a new election law. There are conflicting reports con cerning amnesty for the rebels, and this matter promises stormy scenes in the assembly, as the popular feel ing In Berlin favors severe punish ment for Kapp and his adherents. The French charge d'affaires called on Vice-Chancellor Schaffer and upon Under-Secretary von Haniel today and complimented them and their government upon the happy and rapid solution of the crisis.

(Copyright by the New York World lfshed by Arrangement.) Pub PARIS, March 18. (Special Cable. President Deschanel calls on Amer lea and Great Britain to hold with France to their oaths of triple friend ship. If surprises to which the allies are exposed, as manifest in recent events in Germany, are not to result in loss of the fruits of victory and in danger to the peace of the world. This is his message, directed spe dally to the English-speaking peo ples, given at a luncheon to the American press. Talking with the correspondents after his address, President Deschanel denied that France has militaristic or imperialistic tendencies, declaring she simply had prepared herself for defense against the German menace, which is pointing a revolver at her heart The democracies, he said, must more than ever remain united, in re membrance of the dangers of yester day and in precaution against the dangers of tomorrow. Maintenance of the Anglo-French-American un derstanding, he urged, is the price and most solid guarantee of enduring peace. His appeal to America and Great Britain is regarded here as the most important pronouncement from the responsible head of an allied govern ment since the attempt of the Prus sian militarists to regain power- President Deschanel does not dis guise his distrust of the Germans, for which he feels he has ample justifica tion at this crisis in the world's his' tory. His view is the one that pre vails throughout France. Was the recent German upheaval,' he asks, "a species of camouflage for the restoration of kaiserism? Or, if there is real republicanism in Ger many, will it succeed in downing the militarists? And, if it should succeed by means of counter force, mav w not expect communism or bolshevism next, thus presenting a new menace to the world's democracies?" Whether the German disorders indi cate camouflage or not, he is appre hensive of troubles ahead, owing to the pronounced check that German plans for readjustment have received. French official circles are apparently as much impressed with the influence of the German communists as with that of the militarists. It is urged that the allies know what to expect from the militarists, but they cannot count on the effect of communist fac tors in industrial conditions. NEGRO BATTLES POLICE Rifles Used In Two-Hour Fight With Refugee in Cellar. , BALTIMORE, Md., March 13. After shooting two policemen, a negro was barricaded in a house on West Sara toga street early today and for two hours fought off police reserves from three districts. In a demonstration near the house another negro suspected of being the fugitive was shot three times by po lice and beaten by a mob. The battle came after two negroes had engaged in a fight in the theater district. Two policemen -intervened and the fugitive negro fled, taking refuge in a cellar. The negro shot Patrolmen Levy and Minners, both In the leg. An emer gency call brought police from three districts. Rifles were used by the police in the battle with the negro. The negro was cornered in the cel lar. Hiding under a stairway, he fired at the police in the cellar while those above began chopping through the floor to reach him. Cash Adjustment Leads With Bonds Close Second at Meet ing of Committeemen. With cash or bond adjustment lead ing and financial aid in the building of city, or country homes a close sec ond, the executive committee, of the American Legion, department of Ore gon. In the most representative meet ing since the state convention last November, went on record last night on the question of beneficial legisla tion for ex-service , men. James O. Convill, who is on his way to Washington as the appointee of State Commander William B. Fol- Iett to the meeting of the national executive committee of the legion to consider legislation for the veteran. was instructed by telegraph last night to work for the four-option bill rec ommended to congress by the national legislative committee. Readjustment in pay amounting to 850 a month was urged as the measure most desired by the individual posts of Oregon, with loan for home purposes second. Voca tional training at government ex pense and land-settlement provisions ran a poor third and fourth. Reports were read from all sections of the state on this question and ex ecutive committeemen reported In person from numerous counties. The action was based on the majority opinions. Sixty-day preferential rights to veterans on Oregon & California rail road land grants were reported by investigators to be of little real value to ex-service men, particularly as a very small portion of the land thrown open to settlers is considered of po tential farm value. Friday and Saturday, July 30 and 31, were the dates selected for the next state convention of the American Legion, to be held in Astoria. Two days of business sessions will be fol lowed by an entertainment of all del egates at Seaside on Sunday, August Clatsop post of Astoria promises a rousing reception, reported State Adjutant E. J. Elvers, who had just eturned from a meeting of the ex ecutive committee of that post in As toria. Original plans were to hold the convention in May, but it was post poned at the earnest request of the Astoria legionnaires, who held that the weather was too uncertain in that month to permit of the proper enter tainment of delegates. Three con ventions are to be. held in Astoria in une, and July was picked as the better time. Jesse R. Hinman of Clatsop post was chosen chairman of the conven tion committee by Commander Follett Hereafter the state executive com mittee will meet at weekly luncheons held Saturday noons at the Univer- ity club. A regular business meet- ng of the executive committee to which out-of-town members have been particularly invited will be held n the third Saturday night of every month. That every man who served honor ably In the world war should be en titled to enjoy the privileges of citi zenship was the sentiment expressed by the state executive committee last night in a resolution pledging support to national legislation intended to ex tend that privilege to orientals and others who would otherwise be barred who shouldered the duties of citizens in time of war and waived exemption claims to which they were entitled by law. Strong- opposition was declared to the proposal of national executive committeemen to reorganize the women's auxiliaries. Until the aux iliaries of Oregon have a state organ ization, the department executive committee will handle all state mat ters, but will require 25 cents a year State Association Put on Co-operative Basis.

He ruled that the two women were sent to the asylum illegally in June, 1910, as the original papers were faulty, calling for temporary com mitment, and since then no further action had been taken to make the commitment final and binding. The Misses Brush are reputed to be descendants of an old colonial family which settled in Long Island more than a century ago. Their wealth, It is said, has dwindled to about $30,000. The strange case was brought to court through the Interest taken by Mrs. Florence Ferguson, once a nurse at the hospital, in whose care Justice Tomkins today intrusted them. The sisters said today that they were kidnaped and taken to the asy lum. Once they escaped, but were re turned to the hospital. At the time of the commitment It was reported they had been sent to the asylum after Ada had announced she was to wed a clergyman, declar ing he had "made eyes" at her during the sermon. The church was guarded when the clergyman later married an other woman, "for fear the sisters would appear and create a disturb ance."
