A motion, however, tt have th
r.rr-sldent tend the troary back for re
consideration of the vote bv which it
failed tI11 still be in ord-3r next lion
dav when the senate reconvenes.
The defeat of the treaty and th
cas.sacre of the resolution returning it
to (hp nre.sident followed a tuti
drive, prosecuted vigorously through
out the afternoon by the several dca
orratic Si-r.ators to force into lin
pRouph of their party cilloujrues
to
insure ratification The final maneu
vers on this occasion were much m're
excitinjr than on November 19 la
year, when the same treaty wen
down to defeat by a muc.i closer vole.
Flarli Takro yr Interest.
The difference was That today there
was an urinal interest of the demo.
cratie eiriV in securing the ratifica
tion of the treatv wi'li the Lode res
ervations and a very noticeable dem
orratic desire to cet rid of it, acco
panied. in some cas?. hy an apparen
approbation of thoso reservation
tl emselves. While only 23 dmocrat
voted for ratification, possibly three
or four others intended s-iip;riinc
the tr.-itv, but made the mistake
plavinir politics once too often, the
opportunity failing to arrive for cor
recting their records as they had an
tici Dated.
Jt was planned by three or four
democrats, it is understood, to vote
acainst the resolution of ratification
on the first rollrall in order to say
that they stood by the presidont unti
the last ditch. They expected then
tnat a motion to reconsider would be
made and they would chance their
votes at the last minute anrl save
themselves any possible embarrass
ment in the coming political cajn-
paign.
I'olltirs IMay .! Setback.
It had been ascertained on the re
publican side Ions before the vote on
ratification was reached that in no
event could enough democratic votes
be obtained to accept the treaty, and
a decision was made not to permit
few men to play politics with such
serious business. When the vote by
which the treaty was rejected was an
nounced Senator Lodge, majority
leader, was on his feet. He obtained
recognition from the chair. Senator
Cummins presiding, and offered a res
olution directing the secretary of the
senate to return the treaty to the
president with the advice that the
senate had failed to approve.
This was a frichful shock to those
few democratic senators who hoped
to change their votes on reeonsidcra
tion, and there was considerable ner
vousness and shuffling of feet on the
democratic side and a low cho.rus of
"noes."
I -en root Seeks Agreement.
Senator Lcnroot. who for more than
a year, as one of the most active mild
reservationists, had sotiRht to reach
some agreement with the democrats
whereby the treaty could be ratified,
pot the floor for a minute to make
this observation, rather dramatically
and in tones that could be heard
above all the pandemonium:
'"I shall support this resolution, be
cause it is very evident that the
treaty cannot be ratified with the
reservations until such time as the
president of the United States gives
his consent to senators on the other
side that they may vote so to ratify.
That being true, and the president
having the authority to resubmit the
treaty at any time, it had better be
sent there, and when the president is
willing to have his followers vote to
ratify it he can resubmit it to the
senate."
Parliamentary Wrangle starts.
The vote was then taken by which
the secretary of the senate will re
turn the rejected treaty to the Whit
Honse tomorrow. Senator Robinson
of Arkansas followed with the belated
motion to reconsider, which Senator
Watson of Indiana moved to lay on
the table. The Watson motion lost
by Uie vote of seven mild reservation
ists, including StcNary of Oregon, who
still hoped that enough votes might
be obtained on reconsideration to
ratify.
A parliamentary wrangle was pre
cipitated over the Robinson motion,
a point of order being made by Sen
ator Brandegee of Connecticut, which
ended In the chair ruling the Robin
son motion out of order because the
Arkansas senator was seeking to re
consider a document theoretically out
of the custody of the senate and in
the possession of the president.
Robinson Renews- Motion.
Senator Robinson then renewed his
motion to provide that the treaty be
returned by the president for recon
sideration of the vote by which the
joint resolution was rejected. At this
juncture Senator Hitchcock, demo
cratic treaty leader, returning hur
riedly from the cloakroom, where it
was reported he was in consultation
with the president over the telephone,
approached senator Kobinson, whis
pered a few words and Robinson
withdrew his motion.
Taking the floor immediately, Sen"
ator Lodge said he had no objection
to giving those democrats who so
desired the opportunity to change
their Totes, and asked unanimous
consent for reconsideration of the
vote, which was stopped by an ob
jection by Senator Hitchcock. Dur
ing the final maneuvers Senator
Hitchcock had sought to force an ad
journment to keep the treaty before
the senate for another day.
- Walak Open Door for Totes.
At this point Senator Knox of
Pennsylvania moved that the senate
proceed to the consideration of his
resolution, declaring the state of war
to e at an end.
Senator Walsh, democrat of Mon
tana, one of the most faithful of the
president's followers, opened the
drive for votes for ratification among
his party colleagues by admitting
that some of the criticisms of the
president's uncompromising position
were justified.
He asserted that nothing could be
gained by taking the treaty to the
people In a political campaign be
cause the democrats could not hope
at best to gain more than five votes
in the senate.
More than that, he said that a demo
cratie victory would not be accepted
by those republicans who had elected
as a mandate to support the treaty
without reservation because they
would have obtained their election on
a platform demanding reservations.
and the republicans he said would not
permit the treaty alone to be the is
sue because they were determined to
make a campaign of charges of ex
travagance and incompetency in the
present democratic administration.
He addressed all of his remarks to the
democratic side of the senate.
Myers Causes Surprise.
Senator Myers, democrat, of Mon
tana, surprised his hearers somewhat
by saying that he intended once more
to vote to ratify the treaty with res
ervations, but that If it came up again
he could not promise to favor it at all.
He indicated that he was rapidly be
coming opposed to any league of na
tions.
Senators Ransdell of Louisiana and
Owen of Oklahoma, both democrats,
pleaded with their colleagues to vote
for ratification, and Senator Hoke
Smith, democrat of Georgia, spoke for
more than an hour, denouncing all of
the main provisions of the league of
nations covenant and the transfer of
Shantung to Japan. He lauded the
Lodge reservations as necessary to
the protection of American interests
and said he would not support the
treaty without them. Discussing ar
ticle 10, he said it proposed to put the
obligation to go to war for the pro
tection of foreign interests on the
shoulders of generations yet unborn
and that the American people would
never approve.
Associates Are Warned.
"Do we propose to assume such an
obligation? Does anybody believe
the American people will approve it?
I want to warn my associates on this
side not to take that issue to the
American people. They will never
approve it. I have never known any
thing politically except to be a mem
ber of the democratic party, and I
should dislike to see the crushing de
feat that party would receive if we
undertook to carry on the campaign
in this country on a proposition that
we insisted upon assuming the obli
gation of article 10.
I presume I would have to do as I
did when my party declared for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1 I voted the
ticket, but publicly Btated that I
hoped I would never live long enough
to see such a heresy enacted into legislation."
Then followed a bit of pleasantry
between Senator Smith and his demo
cratic colleague. Senator Thomas of
Colorado, which afforded amusement
to both sides of the senate and to the
packed and jammed galleriee.
. Colorado Srnntor Replies.
1 am sorry my friend, the sen
ator from Colorado, is sitting so near
me." said Senator Smith. "If I had
thought for a moment that he was
honoring me with his presence I
would not have made that state
ment." and the following colloquy
resulted :
Mr. Thomas Oh. Mr. rresident.
honest confession is good for the
soul. We had a great many of that
sort of democrats in 1S96.
Mr. Smith That is all right; but
voted the ticket. When you do
not like much that Is in the plat
form and yet vote the ticket, it is
standing up about as strong as a
man can.
Mr. Thomas Taking the sacrament
and repudiating theChrist does not
make much of a Christian.
Mr. Smith But, unfortunately, free
ilver at IS to 1 was not the Christ.
Mr. Thomas No; that was the sac
rament.
Mr. Smith Was that the sacra
ment?
Mr. Thomas Tes; and the senator
ook the sacrament by voting the
ket.
Mr. Smith What was the Christ
the senator has mentioned? Repud
iating the Christ?
Mr. Thomas Christ was the demo-
ratio party (laughter).
Mr. Smith Oh, the party I thought
he senator meant that Bryan was
the Christ when I voted the ticket.
Mr. Thomas No. Mr. President. I
ave said a great many tilings in my
ife, but I was never accused of say-
ng that.
By adjourning tonight until Mon-
ay, the senate took us iirst nouaay
ince the treaty was brought back for
onsideration several weeks ago.

With the arrest In Portland Thurs
day night of "Swede" Whitey, alias
Fred Peterson, and Chester Lippold,
secret service agents, postoffice in
spectors and operatives of the Pinker-
ton International Detective agency
believe they have In custody the men
responsible for the series of bank
robberies which have been committed
in Willamette valley towns at fre
quent intervals since last November.
When the two men, both of whom
the officers say have criminal records.
were placed under arrest they had in
their possession war savings stamps
valued in excess of J 900 which have
been positively identified as having
been stolen from the Scio State bank
on the night of March 3. These men
had been under surveillance by op
eratives for nearly two weeks and
announcement was made last night
that other information in the pos
session of postoffice inspectors and
the Pinkerton agency leaves no doubt
but that both Whitey and Lippold par
ticipated in the robbery of the Scio
bank.
Men Arrested in Hotel.
The two men were arrested in their
room at the Faeific hotel, First and
Market streets, Thursday evening at
6:30 o'clock. They were rushed at
once to the Multnomah county Jail
where they were held Incommunicado
In separate solitary cells.
The operatives who had chargo of
the investigation and made the ar
rests Thursday night were Charles B
Welter, postoffice inspector; Opera
tive Walters of the United States
secret service, and James M. Rile
resident superintendent of the Pin
kerton International Detective agency.
Examination of the war savings
stamps taken from the two men
their room Thursday night reveale
that the registry numbers of the
stamps had been "washed" off with
some strong acid. The stamps were
placed under a strong magnifyin
glass which revealed the numbers,
and they were found to be identica
with the registry numbers of th
stamps stolen from the Scio Stat
bank.
Other Robberies Snnprrted
Because of the similarity of th
"jobs" in the robbery of the Scio State
bank and other banks along the vVil
lamette valley, the operatives feel
certain that the two men are respon
sible for the other robberies, an
they are working on this theory i
the Investigations now being prose
cutcd. It is possible that other ar
rests may follow at any time.
"Swede" Whitey Is an old-time rob
ber. the officers say, with a nation
wide renutation. He is E0 years old
He is said to have served terms in
Folsom prison, California, and th
Oregon state 'penitentiary for bank
robberies, and his criminal record i
said to extend also to the middle
west.
Lippold Is SO Tears Old.
Chester Lippold is 20 years old. and
alleged to have been a former inmate
of the Nebraska state reformatory
He is said to have been in numerous
escapades of a serious character, al
though this is the first time he has
been arrested in connection with
bank robbery.
The Scio State bank was looted of
war savings stimps, liberty bonds
and other negotiable paper some time
during the night of March 3. The
robbers dug their way through the
brick wall and "cracked" the safety
deposit boxes in the bank's vault. It
was said that the loot totaled abou
$7500.
Other banks which have been
robbed in a similar manner and under
like conditions since November are at
Dayton, Wilsonville, Cascade Locks,
Harrisburg and Jefferson.
In each instance the robbers used
a small touring car. "Swede" Whitey
is said to be the owner of a machine
of the ype used and the operatives
are now making every effort to lo
cats it
1075 in Currency Found.
In addition to the war savings
stamps found on the two men Thurs
day night the operatives likewise
took from them currency in the
amount of $1075. It fs doubtful
whether any of the banks which
were robbed have a record of the
serial numbers of any of the stolen
currency, which makes It unlikely
that the money can be positively
identified as having been stolen from
any of the banks.
According to Superintendent Riley
lea. suddenly returns with 100 pounds.
"The company feared the example
might encourage emigration," said
Teats. "So we changed it to have
the hero return with only ten pounds
and the nlav was a success."
Teats paid lengthy tribute to both
his colleagues. Lady Gregory and John
Synge, detailing in fascinating ri
hand knowledge of their characters
and works. Lady Gregory, he said
began to write after she was 50 years
old, and her first play was refused
production by the players, because in
it a policeman makes patriotic
speeches, and the committee urged
that "to allow a policeman in Ireland
to become patriotic Is an unpatriotic
act." He told picturesquely of his
meeting with John Synge when Synge
was living on fSO a year in pans.
"Tou can live in a New Tork hotel
two weeks on 50. but Synge lived
for a year on that much," said Teats,
It was 'through Teats' efforts and on
his advice that Synge went to live in
Ireland and wrote his plays there.
He referred to Synge as "an humani
tarian who would walk, all day with
some poor old man, not to do the
man good, but because Synge liked
him." "No man is happy," quoted
Teats, "unless he finds in the world
outside him something to correspond
with what he has inside himself." In
interesting array Teats discussed
Irish poetical works, comedies, folk
lore and the more recent developments
in realistic plays.
In conclusion Yeats read two of his
poems fantastic, whimsical lyrics
which he prefaced by explaining the
circumstances tinder which they were
written.

ordinary charm and Interest was
given by William Butler Teats, Irish
poet and playwright, at the Masonic
temple last night and a large audi
ence was in attendance.
Teats' lecture primarily had to do
with the theaters of Ireland and the
dramatic literature of the Irish peo
ple. He told entertainingly of his
work in "The Abbey," the Little The
ater in Dublin which some 20 years
ago was founded by Lady Gregory,
the Irish playwright; John Synge,
Teats and one or two others, all pio
neers in the Little Theater movement.
Teats humorously told of its begin
nings in the little house on a back
street where it struggled- along for
one year on 30 pounds subscribed by
Lady Gregory and 20 pounds sub
scribed by Teats. The players were
all selected from their own people.
A cold winter following forced them
to look about for other quarters and
a friend of Teats, hearing of their
plans to promote the little theater
movement, bought for them an old in
dustrial building, had it remodeled,
gave it a subsidy which In a few
years was absorbed by the managers
and now the little theater of Dublin
Is paying Its own way. Teats' history
of the plays produced in the theater
arforded great fun. He told of one
comedy written for production which

"WASHINGTON", March 19. "Strong
remonstrances' have been made by
the American government against
rulings of the allied reparations com
mission that under the peace treaty
sale of certain German property In
neutral countries can be forced If
necessary to satisfy the initial pay
ment of the German Indemnity.
Under-Secretary Polk of the state
department, writing today to Senator
Henderson, democrat, Nevada, said "a
further protest" was in preparation,
as such a construction of the treaty
was contrary to an official interpre
tation exchanged between Germany
and the allied powers.
Mr. Polk's letter was In response to
an inquiry by Senator Henderson re
garding reports that Great Britain
had requested that German property
and all the rights of German citizens
In electrical enterprises in South
America be taken over by the com
missions and subsequently trans
ferred! to Great Britain as part of the
Indemnity due it by Germany.
Information Not on Hand.
Mr. Polk said the state department
had no , Information as to this, but
added:
"There has been received, however,
certain information having relation
to your inquiry to the effect that the
allied governments represented on the-
reparations commission have ad
vanced and provisionally adopted a
construction of articlo 2,15, which
would empower the reparations com
mission to demand payment by Cer
many of the initial 20.000.000.000 gold
marks in any commodities, gold, ships
or otherwise, which the reparations
commission may desire; and in th
exercise of such power the commis
sion may require the sale of German
property in neutral countries, at least
f in the form of credits or securities.
Tours MHfc Situation Sought.
'Under such power it is possible
that the sale to the reparations com
mission of the securities controlled
by German corporate enterprises in
South America might be required of
Germany.
The department is endeavoring un
officially to keep in touch with mat
ters coming up for decision before
the commission in order that any ac
tion of the commission which might
be in derogation of American trade
opportunities should not pass un
challenged. The department is han
dicapped, however, in that it has no
right to demand such information and
this government not having ratified
the treaty cannot exercise the right
to veto an interpretation of the com
mission's powers such as contained
in the construction of article 235 men
tioned above.
"Nevertheless strong remonstrance
has been made and a further protest
is in preparation."

25,000
Convention Takes Steps Looking
to Elimination of All Possible
Waste in Industry.
CHICAGO. March 19. Uniform pro
duction throughout the year in the
manufacture of clothing as a means
of stabilising conditions in the
clothing industry and of preventing
further price advances was ap
proved today at a joint convention
of the National Association of Retail
Clothiers and the National Associa
tion of Clothing Manufacturers.
Speakers said that uniform produc
tion would eliminate losses conse
quent to seasons of non-production
in the clothing Industry, a condition
which was declared a contributing
factor to present prices.
The elimination of all possible
waste in distribution, both by the
manufacturer and the retailer, was
urged. A committee representing
wholesale and retail clothiers was
appointed to study the distribution
problem and to recommend a uniform
system to promote greater efficiency.
The American clothing manufactur
ing industry had developed to such
a high point of efficiency that the
American product was recognized as
a world leader, speakers said. They
declared American-made clothing bore
a greater intrinsic value, because of
superior workmanship and style, and
predicted that the slogan "Made in
America" soon would be familiar in
England.
