The senator was called to his door to hear the arguments of the visi- tors. There were harsh words and then blows were exchanged between the senator-aged Grand Alexander w. Bannwart, 36 years old, of Dor chester, born in Switzerland of Swiss German parents. Senator Lodge sent his antagonist to the floor with a blow to the jaw, and while the office force was clearing away the other pa- cifists, young man in the corridor pummelled Bannwart vigorously be- fore turning him over for beating at the hands of David B. Herman, a half-grown telegraph messenger.
 Then the capitol police appeared and Bannwart, very bloody. was locked up charged with assault. Later he was released on 5000 cash bail for his ap- pearance tomorrow morning in police court.

 Address Of the President

The New York German Herald II; respect to MT. Wilson's declaration that the war is not aimed at the Ger ing suspicion that they would quickly cast off their kings and princes if they saw strong democratic power ready to shield them against their ene- mics while they set their house in or der. We are absolutely certain that during the war no change in the form of government the Germans have is possible. Many of them would prefer republican form of government but they feel that if they follow their in- clinations at this time resulting in ternal disturbances would permit the enemy to enter the gates and to dew astate Germany.

 The people of Birmingham know that when The Age Herald issues an extra it will have something in it and as result last nights issue was in enormous demand. It was compliment ed on every hand for it's complet teness and the speed with which it was is sued almost before the President had started on his return journey to tho White House.
 When Dr. Ruskin read the headlines of the extra to the big crowd at the Jeff ferson theatre there was a remarkable patriotic demonstration.

WAR RESOLUTIONS
 INTRODUCED IN
 HOUSE AND SENATE

Washington, April 2-Im-
 mediately after the Presi-
 dent left the capitol, the Sen
 ate and House reconvened
 and an identic joint resolu-
 tion was introduced in both
 House declaring the exis-
 tence of a state of war and
 directing the President to
 employ all the resources of
 the country on war against
 the Imperial German gov- ernment and bring the con- flict to a successful conclus- ion.
 Because of the opposition to the measure of Senator
 Stone, chairman of the for eign relations committee,
 the resolution was intro
 duced in the Senate by Sen
 ator Martin of Virginia, the
 democratic floor leader.
 Representative Flood, chair
 man of the foreign affairs
 committee, introduced it in the House.
 The resolution was referred to the foreign affairs committees by both Houses, and adjournment until to-
 morrow followed soon afterwards.
 Both committees meet tomorrow morning.
 The resolution follows: Joint resolution declaring that state of war exists between the imperial Ger man government and the government and people of the United States and making provision to prosecute the same. Whereas. The recent acts of the inn perial government are acts of war against the government and people of the United States;
 Resolved, By the Senate and House
 of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. that
 the state of war between the United States and the imperial German govern
 ment which has thus been thrust upon the United States is hereby formally de- clared: and,
 That the President be, and he is here by authorized and directed, to take tm- mediate steps not only to put the coun- try in a thorough state of defense, but also to exert all of it's power and employ all of it's resources to carry on war ! against the imperial German government and to bring the conflict to successful termination | Senate administration leaders planned ] to have the foreign relations committee promptly report the war resolution at l tomorrow mornings meeting, if possible, and bring 1t at once before the Senate
 without waiting for action by the House. | Senator Hitchcock, ranking democrat oi ! the committee probably will manage the Senate as spokesman for the majority, 1 as Senator Stone of Missouri chairman. has announced his opposition to the measure.

 are at war-as we were when the l nineteenth century was dawning and in its dawn.
 Cincinnati Volksblatt: We agree with the President that war exists l between the United States and Gel : many and that all the citizens must comply with the duties arising out ot the state of war. All other statements in the Presidents speech we disap- prove and reject
 Memphis Commercial-Appeal: Wood row Wilson's message to Congress ad vocating a state of war is as another declaration of independence. This war has been forced on us by German kul r. tur. It should never be ended until a peace treaty can be signed by Ger man democracy.
 New York World: President Will sons war address to Congress is more than an expression of nations pa triotism. It is an appeal to every in stinct, every impulse, every tradition of democracy.
 The case of the American people can rest upon no nlSneF pidHc IHdH Ih"I upon which President Wilson has placed it and his statement of req sons is no less admirable than his statements of means and methods.
 President Wilson has driven straight to the heart of the issue and Congress must respond.
 New York Tribune: No praise can be too high for the words and the pur poses of the President. Never in ali the long period in which he has di- rected American policy has he seemed to come nearer to the ideal of the American people, the ideal of q Pres ident who should lead.
 All over the world there will be Americans who will find in the de- cision made by the President cause for new confidence and new hope.
 The Montgomery Advertiser: We are now committed to this war to the last of our resources. Germany has dragged an enemy into the war which will cling to her until the German people assert themselves. and until Prussian junker is crushed to the earth.

Bannwart tonight denied he had iijt Senator Lodge first, saying: 'I had no idea he was going to strike me. He just hauled off and hit me as hard as he could. Then a half dozen fellow $ had 8 fine time trying to finish me up. That messenger boy had an espe- eially good time. I hope I don't have to go to jail.
