NO BROTHERHOOD FOR 'EM
Continued from first pag'.

the majority Of the Senate Foreign ne
lations Committee which says that the
proposed treaties are breeders OF war
and not Of peace
Ur through the reading of Or. But
ler's resolution and through Koelbles
amendment reading the evidently per
fectly drilled galleries offered not sign
Of their future intent. More than that.
they had even applauded vigorously all
rhe telling points brought out by the
speakers in favor of the treaties.
Koeble stepped back a little from the
front of the platform. An old and gray
headed man stood up In the front row
OF the first floor for a second. waved MS
arms towards TIE top galleries and dis
appeared. That was the signal, and
bedlam broke loose.
The crowd Of men in the galleries
yelled. whistled jeered and stamped
their feet In the lower parts of the
house every one was confused ana OH
The platform members of the committee
were at loss what to do.
Jacob H. Schiff denounced Koelble as
the instigator Of a shameful demonstra-
ton Andrew Carnegie. who had been
apparently almost asleep during parts
o. Colonel Wattersons address, reused
himself and stamped back and forth
across the platform OF the big audito-
rum that bears his name, shouting:
"Rufians, They're a lot Of rufiians.'
Two japanese sitting in the front row
were probably the only persons in the
entire house who remained seated for
the next five minutes. They didn't get
up. but they didn't miss "A move in any
part OF the house, and through it all
their faces bore traces of the faintest
possible smiles.
John -. Bristol rescued the situation
in manner by his call for a rising vote
on Or Buffers resolution, and then the
burden was passed over to Rabbi Wise.
Struggles Against Pandemoniun'.
For possibly ten minutes Rabbi Wise
struggled vainly against the pande-
monium. Sometimes it seemed as IL he
was about to check it, and then it woull
break out anew and apparently stronger
than ever.
Koelble. the man whose proposed
amendment started it all, got the plat
form again for a minute to ask his
shouting supporters in tho galleries to
give Rabbi Wise a fair hearing, but by
that time his mob was beyond his con-
troll. and they paid no attention what
ever 10 his request.
Koelble said he had been especially
delegated by the German American Citi-
zens' League TO come 10 the Carnegie
Hall mass meeting and present his reso-
luton. He said there were probably a
hundred Of the members Of his league
IN the gallery The rest Of the pro
testers he said, we're probably Irish
Americans. opposed to anything in the
vav of a treaty with Great Britain.
Rabbi Wise got in few words directly
after Koelbles appeal. Scattered shouts
and groans interrupted him In a tri1ing
wsv. but he was able TO continue lie
mentioned that he took rs law in re-
gard 10 the constitutonality of these
treaties from three great lswyers-Pres-
dent Taft Mr.. Choate and Senator Root
Tho outcries began ~ increase again,
and hc shouted 10 the galleries that Car
dinal Gibbons had indorsed these tres ties
TO the letter.
Leave religion out!' yelled A voice
from the gallery
Dr. Wise talked straight 10 the gallery
ignoring the great body of the house,
which was for him, and trying only to
ne down the opposition. but It was a
hopeless task. Mr.. Choate took the
meeting in hand again then.
Declares Meeting Adjourned.
Those persons who have tried tu
break lin this meeting" he said, ARE
doing more to aid these arbitrati tion
treaties than all the meetings we could
hold. AZ the resolution which expresses
the sentirent Of the gathering has been
formally passed, now declare tho meet =
ing adjourned"
AfterwarJ Mr.. Choate added a word to
his platform declaration. In way this
sort Of demonstration Is good ne
said, because It sends men away fight
ing mad, for peace"
Captain Day. OF the West 18th street
station, had about fifteen policemen
scattered in and about the building when
the riot broke out. He sent for the re-
serves and the men piled into the gal
leries, but made no arrests. They took
out half dozen of the worst offenders
but that was all
In 9th street. after the meeting ad-
Journed. an Englishman commented
upon the meeting and the riot which
broke it up:
Don't you think all this could have
been saved don't you know, if they had
just explained what arbitration reah-lly
is? There are lots OF people even in the
boxes tonight who think that these
treaties are for an alliance"
