A nearby lumber yard served to supply fuel for innumerable small fires over which the fanatics of the game huddled and studied out the stories, taking care however, not to leave their places in line. Amused policemen, who found the occasion much more to their taste than tramping lonely beats, kept order and settled more than one dispute as to position. Paper Were Certain.

LA FOLLETTE REPLIES TO HIS CRITICS IN CONGRESS

Contends for Right to Discuss War and Calls on Declaration of Nation's PrinciplesHall is Crowded. LAWMAKERS ADJOURN WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. Congress entered the last hour of the session with all attention turned to the senate where Senator La Toilette took the floor to make a three hour speech in answer to the critics who have petitioned for his expulsion because of bis course and publie utterances toward the war. By prearrangement two hours were reserved in which senators were to reply at the close of his speech and unless some unforeseen developments' took place adjournment for congress for the session was expected at 3:00 o'clock this afternoon. Members of the house, which only was marking time waiting for the senate, flocked to the senate chamber where galleries and floors were jammed in expectation of a spectacular finale to the session which has appropriated hitherto unheard of billions for America's participation in the world's war and has passed a score of war measures in an increditably short time. Reada His Speech LaFollette, always a spectacular figure in debate, and acknowledged as no mean opponent by his enemies, spent yesterday and most of the night preparing his speech. Standing at his seat In the front row before the vice-president's desk LaFollette began his address reading carefully and deliberately his manuscript with senators giving close attention. The prospect was thai his carefully chosen words would not eyoke some of the replies planned. Defending his course of opposing the declaration of war and subsequent attacks' on war policies, La Follette de clared: "It is the citizen's duty to obey the law until it is repealed or declared tinconstitutional. But he has the inalienable right to fight what he deems an obnoxious law or a wrongful policy in the court and at the ballot box." Claims Right to Talk. Byery preparation for prosecuting the- war must be made, the Wisconsin senator declared, but he claimed the right to discuss honest differences of opinion. "Shall we ask the people to shut their eyes and take the entire war program on faith?" he asked. "The way to paralyze the German arm is to declare our object in this war and show tflat we are not seeking to dictate a form of government to Germany or to render England's domination of the seas more secure.
