sWarminS arond Senator Reed. Sena- tor Lodge hnally was recognized above the hubpub. winch so rudely had shat tered the dIgnIty and traditions Of the senate, ana. leaning on his desk and smiling. addressed the char;
 Tn order to return to that serene and calm atmosphere described by the senator from Arizona, l move that we adjourn" and there was no dissent to the laughter of ayes"
 How to deal with the conduct of the people who attend the senate sessions. to hear the treaty debate was a ques- tion of some concern tonight to sena- tors, who discussed it informally in view of the events of the afternoon. Vice President Marshall several days ago asked the senate if it wished en- forcement of the rule against applause. saying that if that was the wish. tt would be enforced. Treaties previous ly have been considered in executive session, but that custom was abolished so far as the pending pact is concern ed. The suggestion came from many members, however that it might be necessary to close the galleries if an other demonstration like that today was attempted.
 Senator Reed. whose speech occupied the whole treaty program during the days proceedings. had been speaking nearly two hours when the first ap- plause came. This followed his reply to a question by Senator Lodge. and brought the first stern warning from the presiding officer. Senator Reed, while upholding firmly the ruling ex- pressed the hope that the senate would not be so severe on the crowds because it was their only chance. he said. of expressing their opinions. After he had been interrupted repeatedly by Senator Jones. democrat, New Mexico, an advocate of the league covenant. Senator Reed departed widely from his prepared speech, and it was while he was talking bluntly that the spectators voiced approval with hands and feet This was particularly the case after he had declared that advocates of the league described it one minute as a prize fighter strong enough to whip anything under the worlds canvas and next as man with para1yzed arms
 The principal part of the speech was an argument against the league cove nant. with a bitter assault on the clause giving Great Britain six votes in the league assembly to one for the United States. President Wilson was sharply and severely attacked by Sen ator Reed. who declared he had coun- selled with kings to transfer to them the sovereignty Washington had won with the sword.
 It was 6 o'clock when Senator Reed concluded his address. and the original plan to proceed with formal reading of the treaty was abandoned.

PRESIDENT TALKS TO CROWD
 OF 12,ooo IN SACRAMENTO

Sacramento, Calf. Sept 22.-The League of Nations is a guaranty of justice and without the treaty of peace with Germany, including the covenant, the world would sink back into that slough of despond which mankind was in before this war be- gan President Wilson told a crowd of 12,O00 persons that surged about his special train when it stopped here for twenty y-hVe minutes this afternoon.
 The league covenant affords the only hope of China for the restoration to her of the sovereignty Shantung. the president asserted. The president said the enthusiastic welcome was the more pleasing to him because it show ed not only a derire to welcome him personally, but interest in the great rights l have come out to declare"
 The departure of the train was de- layed short time before the crowd surged across the tracks in front of the train and it was difficult for the police to clear way for the special to pull out.
 A large percentage of the crowd were. women and children. There was delegation of Red Cross women and these presented the president with a basket of fruit. In 1t was card sign- ed The American Red Cross" which read:
 Disputes between nations should be adjusted by human reason instead of human strength"
 The president spoke in response to repeated demands and after he and Mrs. Wilson had repeatedly smiled and bowed from the rear platform One boy apparently about six years old attempted vainly to force his way to the platform, calling out: "I want to shake hands with the president"
 Finally man picked him up and he was passed over the heads of the crSwds. The president shook hands with him and then patted him on the head before he handed him back td the nearest man.
