First Self Imposed "Gag" in
History of Senate Results in
Passing of Two Reservations
in Hour Amusing and Turb
ulent Incidents Occur
Washington, Nov. 15.--Working under its self-imposed
"gag" following adoption of the cloture, rule by an
overwhelming vote, the senate today forged ahead in its
work of preparing a resolution of ratification of the peace
treaty. - '
Shantung IS Approved
The committee reservation with
holding assent to the Shantung pro
vision of the treaty was approved by
a vote of 53 to 41 after two attempts
to alter it had failed.

adopted committee, reservation num
ber 8, being the .fifth reservation
adopted within three hours after adop
tion of the cloture rule.
The reservation provides that all
United States representatives to the
league Bhall be appointed only with
and by the approval of the senate.

Germany without interference of the
reparations commission, carried, 54 to

ed to give congress complete control
over America's share in the league ex
penses. This reservation, number 10,
the senate adopted, 65 to 29.

of congress. The other reserves con
trol over domestic questions such as
immigration, tariff and labor.
Working of Rule Amuses
The new rule, which completely
revolutionized senate procedure, was
taken good naturedly on both sides.
Many amusing incidents occurred. To
those accustomed to the rambling
freedom of debate in the senate the
order seemed to create a new atmos
phere. Majority is Surprise
The decisive majority of 78 to 16
for cloture was a surprise.
The Lodge reservation to safeguard
the Monroe doctrine was adopted 56
to 32 after three attempts by demo
crats to alter it had failed.
This is the third reservation agreed
to today. The Shantung reservation
was taken up next.

servatlonists, announced that on this
reservation he would split with the
Lodge group. .

Spanish War Veterans Seek
Liberty. For Convct Serv
ing Life Term On Charge Of
Fiendish Murder In 1911.
Governor Olctt is urged to grant a
full.nnd unconditional pardon to J. A.
Pender, serving a life term in the state
prison for murder, in time for him to
enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with his
iamily in resolutions adopted by
Scout Young camp, United , Spanish
War veterans, a copy of which was re
ceived at the executive offices this
morning. The resolution, it is explained
in a letter accompanlng the same, ex
press the sentiments of 1500 Spanish,!
War veterans.
Pender was convicted on purely cir
cumstantial evidence of the murder of
Daisy Wehrman and her little son.
Harold, near Scappoose, Columbia
county, on or about September 3 of
4, 1911. After a legal battle covering
a period of two years Pender was sen
tenced to be hanged but this sentence
was later commuted to life imprison
ment. .
Evidence Is Recalled.
. "The evidence - surrounding the
crime show that the criminal . who
committed it must have been a moral
pervert, devoid of sense of honor, hu
manity and decency whatever, where
as John Arthur Pender is a man whose
whole record shows him to be a man
of good instincts and of high moral
standard, believed by all his friends
and acquaintances, his lawyers and his
family to be innocent of this terrible,"
the resolutions declare. "Even the
judge who tried the case, the district
attorney who prosecuted it and many
of the wtinesses who testified agatns
him either believed him innocent or
doubted his guilt." -
Pender served during the Spanish-
American war in the famous Utah bat
tery which made an enviable record
through its service in the Philippine
Islands and is held in high esteem by
his comrades in arms according to the
resolutions which continue:
Inconsistency Claimed.
It does not seem possible that a
man of this type and character could
possibly be guilty of a crime of the
nature pf the Wehrman murders and
it seems to us that the guilty party
or parties are still unfound and un-.
punished and perhaps never will be,
but it would seem that now after nine
years of confinement, during all of
which time render has bravely assert
ed his innocence, and his friends who
are n imerous have unceasingly worke i
for his pardon and vindication that the
time had now arrived when Pender
should be unconditionally pardoned
and be given at least the benefit of a
doubt which he was clearly entitled to
and should have received at the hands
of the jury in Cohiibia county, Ore
gon, long aso and which was denied
l.im :it that time owing, principally to
the heniousness of the crime with
which he was charged."
Veterans Sign Resolutions.
The resolutions which assert the
strongest belief in Pender's innocence
are signed by Richard Defch. Harvey
Wells and Clarence R. Hotchliiss
stituting a special
committee from
Scout Young camp.
