SENATE GALLERY BREAKS RULE IN CHEERING REED Spectators Smash Precedents in Applauding Speech of Man Against League.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23. At the end of a four-hour attack on the league of nations by Senator Reed of Missouri, a Democrat, who has refused to 6tand with his party for unreserved ratification of the peace treaty, of which the league covenant Is a part, the senate galleries late today started a demonstration that had to wear itself out and then hissed violent disapproval when the cheering was condemned from the floor. There has been no outburst like it since the treaty fight was put sharply before the senate by the foreign relations committee. But there were indications today soon after Senator Reed began his speech that the crowds sworming for admittance at all doors, were in sympathy with his argument. Mindful of the evidences of feeling In the galleries, Senator Cummins, president pro tem, gave warning that, while applause might be tolerated, despite senate rules, at the end of the address, it would not be permitted at other times. Threats to clear the galleries if repeated had no effect and no attempt was made to enforce the long standing rule. When Senator Reed, with arms lifted high, closed his speech and sat down, the applause broke, followed instantly by lusty cheering from every gallery. Men in uniform joined in the demonstration and many women stood, waved their arms wildly, and shouted with the men. Ash hurst Draws Hisses. Senator Ashurst, Democrat, of Arizona, sitting nearest Senator Reed and first to congratulate him, 6houted loudly for order a moment later and the crowds, not knowing what to expect, suddenly became still. But the quiet orderliness of the senate did not prevail long, for as the spectators realized that their conduct was being condemned a wave of hissing swept through the chamber,, while gallery guards struggled manfully, but unsuccesfully. to subdue and eject those responsible for It. Still speaking to the crowds, Senator Ashurst declared the fate of nations was at stake while they "were attempting to make the senate of the United States a police court," and appealed by name to Senators Lodge and Hitchcock, the party leaders, to stop It. The Arizona senator declared the galleries would not applaud a decision of the highest court, which had never been called upon to decide a question of such tremendous importance to the world. The appeal was met with another volley of hissing, to which the Arizona senator replied that only snakes and geese hissed. Meanwhile the chair was pounding for order, and the crowds began piling out pellmell while members on the floor were swarming around Senator Reed. Lodge Asks Adjournment. Senator Lodge finally was recognized above the hubbub which so rudely had shatered the dignity and tradi tlons of the senate, and, leaning on his desk and smiling, addressed the chair: "in order to return to that calm atmosphere described by the senator from Arizona, I move that we adjourn." Circuit Court Records Suit to recover $1,600 on account was filed by the Indiana Ice and Dairy company, of Anderson, against Clem Thistlethwaite', in circuit court Tuesday morning. The complaint alleges that this amount is due the dairy company for cream furnished Thistlethwaite in the past. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. Jdmes and Emily Pullinger to Theodore and Anna M.

Prohibition Move to England; Unfriendly Act (By Associated Press) LONDON, Sept. 23 The American state department is taking measures to check the extension of the AntiSaloon league's prohibition campaign in Europe, according to the Daily Mall, which says two agents of the league who recently sought passport facilities to Paris preparatory to visiting England were unable to obtain the necessary vises. "The American state department," the newspaper continues, "is fully alive to the detrimental effects which extension of the anti-saloon league's activities to Europe might have on international relations, especially at the present time and is said to be resolved to avoid possible mlsunder standings." BRITISH FLYER OVER ALPS FROM LONDON (By Associated Press) , GENEVA, Monday, Sept. 22 Cap tain Bradley, a British aviator, has landed at Lausanne after having flown over the Alps and losing his way In the clouds above Montblanc at an altitude of more than 15,000 feet.

Efforts are Being Made to Restore Cable Service LONDON, Sept. 23. Every possible effort Is being made to restore to its r re-war basis, the cable system of the world, it Is announced. The five Anglo-German cables which were cut by the British fleet in the early days of the war are being repaired, and so are the four cables connecting England with Belgium.

SENATE PUTS OFF JOHNSON AMENDMENT Reading of Treaty to Go On, Before California Senator's Amendment is Introduced. (By Associated Press) "WASHINTON, Sept. 23. Republican senate leaders decided today to defer for several days, consideration of the amendment to the peace treaty by Senator Johnson, Republican, of California, proposing equal voting strength in the league of nations between the United States and Great Britain. Formal reading of the treaty will be continued for a time. Senator Johnson, who has been speaking in the middle west against the league plan, returned here today, but, it was said, he would rest at home until tomorrow. By telephone he conferred with republican leaders and the plan to postpone his amendment temporarily was agreed to. How to put an end to demonstrations in the galeries during discussion of the peace treaty is troubling senators almost as much as the league of nations. Although great applause by the galleries a direct violation of senate rules has been more or less of a problem since the treaty was brought before the senate in open executive session, the matter of enforcing the senate rule was brought to a decisive stage late yesterday, when, after Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri, had concluded a four hour attack on the league, the galleries applauded vigorously. Men clapped their hands and stamped their feet in approval of the Missouri senator's speech while women waved their arms and shouted. When Ashurst, Democrat, Arizona, a league supporter, arose to condemn the action of the galleries, he was met with a wave of hissing. Attempts of President Pro-tempore Cummins to stop the demonstration were in vain. Suggestions came from several senators today that the gallaries be closed during treaty debate, but these met objection from the proponents of the plan to conduct the treaty fight in open session. CARDINAL MERGER IS IN CAPITAL FOR GREAT CONFERENCE (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Sept. 23. Cardinal Mercier, the heroic Belgian prelate, who consistently defied the German invaders through all their occupation of his unhappy country, and became one of the world figures of the war, was in the American capital today to attend the conference of catholic prelates from all over the country called by Cardinal Gibbons. Cardinal Mercier and Cardinal Gibbons came to Washington from Annapolis after being guests of Governor Harrington of Maryland, at the state house and where unusual honors were accorded him at the Naval academy. This morning Cardinal Mercier took part in the dedicating and blessing of the new seminary. In the afternoon he was to be the Invited' guest of honor at a luncheon at the Belgian legation, where he planned to spend the night. Tomorrow he is expected to deliver an address at the conference of prelates pt the Catholic University, which is the largest gathering of high churchmen of its kind since that held in Baltimore in 1884, and of which Cardinal Gibbons is the lone surviving member. Cardinal Mercier is expected to return to the city after President Wilson ends his western tour. Gravediggers Strike; Call on Hearsedrivers for Aid DUBLIN, Sept. 23. A strike of grave diggers in Dublin maintained for some weeks at Glasnevin Cemetery has caused much inconvenience and some risk to the public health. It was mitigated however, by the decision of the Cemeteries' Committee to permit interments by people having plots in the cemetry provided that they opened and closed the graves themselves without calling on the committee for assistance. The gravediggers have now appealed to the hearse drivers who have declared a sympathetic strike and refused to convey bodies for burial.

Tax-Payers Decrease 10 Per Cent, Say Books Tax duplicates for the fall assessment of this year, which have just been completed by the county treasurer, show a decrease of ten per cent in the number of tax payers since last year, according to County Treasurere Ed Weidner. The decrease is due largely, according to the treasurer, to the fact that many men were in the a-rmy at the time the assessments were made last year, and are exempt from taxaiion this year.

PLUMB BEGINS FIGHT BEFORE SENATE AGAINST ANTI-STRIKE CUMMINS BILL

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Sept. 23. Organized labor launched its fight against the anti-strike provisions of the Cummins railroad reorganization bill today before the senate interstate commerce committee. Glenn E. Plumb, general counsel for the railroad brotherhoods and author of the plan for tripartite control of the railroads, said the provisions were a guarantee of "industrial revolution.'" "These provisions destroy the right of collective bargaining," he said. "They are directed solely against the wage earners. The right to strike is inherent and has been recognized by innumerable decisions. "Strikes are symptoms of social disorders, not causes. You propose to treat the symptoms, and let the social fever rage. . ,: - "There is a change coming in the nature of strikes which this committee does not recognize. Formerly strikes have been carried on only to secure labor a larger share of the products it makes. Hereafter they will be carried on to compel a reduction in profits and protect the Interests of labor on the consuming side. Labor must retain the right to strike to lower the cost of living." Strikes Stop Production. "Isn't It true that strikes ordinarily stop production and so cause higher HORLI CK'S Tri E ORIGINAL MALTED MILK i& Imltatloas & SubttilcU'

NICHOLSON MAY BE PRESIDING CLERK OF FRIENDS' MEET Efforts will be made by the permanent board of the Indiana Yearly meeting to recover the report of the Puget Sound quarterly meeting, which, it is believed, was lost in transit. This report, it is understood, contained several important matters, and delegates from the Puget Sound meeting expressed their desire of having the report come before the Yearly Meeting. The matter was originally referred to the evangelistic board but was later transferred to the presiding board. The epistle from the Dublin Yearly Meeting was read to the body, and the program of the body was adopted by the meeting. S. Edgar Nicholson will probably be appointed presiding clerk of the meeting. The report of the clerks' Committee was returned to the committee when Miss Edith Hunt, who had been appointing recording clerk, declined to take the position on account of her health. Miss Hunt will probably be given the position of reading clerk. The report of the representatives announced that Peter Raidebaugh had been appointed president of the representatives and Phariba Stevens secretary. The report also stated that the new business of the body would have to be cared for by the program committee. prices?" asked Senator Townsend'Republican, Michigan. "Temporarily strikes diminish production," Plumb said, "but they can force a decrease in prices which will more than make up for it." "There has never been a strike with that object," Senator Townsend returned, "and we have to legislate in the light of experience." "There have been none with this purpose as yet," Plumb said, "but there is no reason for congress to put up a bar against the progress of the future." Answering a question by Senator Pomerene, Democrat, Ohio, Plumb conceded that a two weeks' stoppage of transportation would mean disaster and starvation for the people of all the cities. "But the way to prevent that," he declared, "is not to let the ownei-3 of capital keep utilities of public service from being used for public service."

LEAGUE REFUGE FROM SLOUGH OF DESPOND -WILSON

Says Covenant is Only Hope for Shantungs Restoration to China, at Sacramento. SACRAMENTO, Cal., Sept. 23. The League of Nations is a guaranty of justice and without the treaty of peace with Germany, including the covenant, the world "would lnk back into that slough of despond which mankind was in before the war began," President Wilson told a crowd of 12,000 persons thai surged about his special train when it stopped here for 25 minutes Monday afternoon. The league covenant affords the only hope of China for the restoration to her of the sovereignty of Shantung, the President asserted. The President said the enthusiastic welcome was the more pleasing s to him because It showed not only a desire to welcome him personally but interst in "the great rights I have come out to advo cate." The President spoke in response to repated demands after he had smiled repeatedly and bowed from the rear platform. The president said In part: "We undertook a great war for a definite purpose; that definite purpose is carried out in a great treaty. I have brought back the treaty and we must not hesitate much longer to sign it, be cause that treaty is the guaranty of permanent peace, for all the great fighting nations of the world are bound
