Bannwart' s Story.

Bannwart told the cspito; police he
was not the aggressor and contended
that Senator Lodge struck the first
blow. In other respects his story did
not differ greatly from that told By en-
ployes In the senator's office.
After Senator Lodge finished with
the pacifist. David B. Serman Of this
city stepped in and. according TO spec
tators. pummeled Bannwart, cutting
several gsshes in his forehead and
spreading blood over his face. Bann-
wart was taken TO a police station with
directions that a charge Of assault on
Senator Lodge be preferred against
him. The others In the group with
him were allowed to go.
Senator Lodge appeared on the floor
when the senate met and apparently
was no worse for his encounter. Scores
OF senators went over to the Massachu-
sets senator's desk and shook his
