CHICAGO, Sept. 10. Crowds in
vain, tonight beseiged the Auditor
ium theatre, where Republican sen
ators began their western speaking
tour in answer to President Wilson's
demands for unconstitutional ac-i
ceptance or total rejection of the
peace treaty and league of nations
covenant. Hefore 8 o'clock' the hour
for opening the speaking, the the
atre was filled and thousands of
persons were left in the streets.

son of California and Medill McCor
mick of Illinois, the latter presiding
at the meeting, expound their views
of the peace treaty and league cove
nant and reply to President Wilson's

campaign of the west.

The crowd outside was led into
repeated cheering by a man who
shonted that Senator Johnson would
be the next , president. The cheer
ing, however, seemed about equally
vigorous at msntion of Senators Bo
rah and McCormick.
- While the throngs storemde about
the various entrances after the doors
had been closed by the police, a par
ade was led by a soldier in uniform
blowing a bug! along Michigan boul

were in line with banners bearing
Ing such inscriptions as "Welcome to
the men who are bringing our "boys

GERMAN PEACE
PACT AT LAST
GIVEN SENATE
Minority Repoct Urging Rat

Due Today
FIGHT STARTS MONDAY
Kenyon Launched Bitter At
tack Against Present
Form of Covenant
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. The
German peace treaty, with amend
ments and its league of nations cov
enant, with reservations, was report
ed to the senate today by the foreign
relations committee, a majority of
whose members opposed ratification
in the form submitted by President
ilson.
Immediately after it was present
ed by Chairman Lodge, two months
to the day from the time the presi
dent laid it before the senate. Sena
tor Hitchcock, of Nebraska, ranking
democratic member of the committee,
announced that the minority report.
urging ratification without amend
ment or reservations would be filed
tomorrow.
Fight Starts Monday.
The fight over ratification will be
gin Monday. Chairman Lodge an
nouncing that the treaty would be
taken up then and kept continuously
before the senate. First will come
the effort to amend the treaty, and
then the fight for reservations, mild
or strong. Leaders of the adminis
tration forces continued to predict
today that the treaty with the league
of naions covenant would be ratified
in its original form.
Republican leaders declared, how
ever, that li put to a vote now tne
league would be rejected by the Ben
ate. Efforts to reach some agree
ment on the question of reservations
meanwhile are being made.
The formal report of the majority
was presented with as little formality
as if it had been a bill to carry on the
routine work of the government.
There was a larger attendance on
the floor than usual, however, indi
cating the interest in the forthcoming
battle.
Kenyon Bitter.
On the, heels of its presentation.
Senator Kenyon, Republican, Iowa,
in whose state President Wilson
made an address in support of the
league covenant, launched a bitter at
tack upon it and declared the coven
ant never could be adopted as it now
stands. The big crowd in the gal
leries broke forth into applause as
the Iowa senator concluded, one wo
man standing up and waving an um
brella in great excitement. There
were many references to the treaty i
in later debate, and tomorrow Sena
tor Harding to Ohio, a Republican
member of the foreign relations com
mittee, will speak against ratifica
tion. BOOK DEALERS
HOLDING OUT
No Accession to Gill Terms
and Independent Exchange
May Be Result
To attempt some solution of the
school text-book situation in Mar
ion county, a representative of J. K.
Gill & Co.. of Portland, distributors
for the publishers, is expected in Sa
lem this week and there is a strong
probability that an exchange for
school books will be established in
dependent of local dealers. This U
likely to L the culmination of re
fusal by local book dealers to handle
the books at a profit of 13 per cent
that has been orfe:ed by the distrib
utors. The dealers hold out for 20
per cent.

bocks for years, suggests that the

change were established.
Distributor Are. Stubborn.
There has been much speculation
as to how the situation will develop.
Over a monih ago the local dealers
refused to handle the books without
an increase to 20 per cent in the
liiareiu of profit. Gill & Co.. who are
the Oregon distributors for the pub
lishers, refused to accede to this but
offered IS per cent, claiming they
are under bond to the text book cora
mision to release the books at a stat
ed price, thus not being allowed to
raise the price of the books without
breaking their agreement with the
commission and so claiming that they
