They had been there but few moments

20 RIOTERS ARE HELD

specia, Despatch 10 Tue suS.


KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 4.-Following
testimony Of twenty-five witnesses given
to-day before the Knox county Grand
Jury, which is investigating the attack
on the Jail Saturday, bonds of twenty
nine alleged rioters were increased from
$4,000 to $1,000 by direction of Attor-
ney-General r. A. .Mynatt. All of the
Twenty-Five are in jail.
Mr.. Mynatt is of the opinion that not
TO exceed one hundred men of several
thousands present were actively engaged
in wrecking the Jail and releasing pris-
oners. He is satisfied that these men
were bent on releasing white prisoners
and footing. and camoufaged their work
by pretending to want to lynch the ne
gro Maurice Mayes, then and now in
jail at Chattanooga.
Evidence to-day shows they did not
visit the negro floor once they had
gained entrance to the jail" said. Mr..
Mynatt. "They set about at once to
release prisoners and plumber. They
were also out for loot. and they had their
minds on liquor stored as evidence.
Why, one of them Boosted that Sheriff
Cate had seized his whiskey. but he had
got 1t back again. They stole every
thing not nailed down. 1t was the most
lawless gang ever assembled outside of
the State penitentiary."
Adjt.-Gen. Sweeney stated to-day that
from what he saw and from reports of
his troops probably twelve or more ne
groes were killed.
Mr.. Mynatt said tonight that the date
OF the trial of the negro Mayes will be
set on Saturday. possibly for one day
next week. Arrests of rioters continued
steadily all day. None has as yet given
bond.

SENATORS DEBATE
PROHIBITION BILL
Sweet Cider Put on NOn-In-
tOxicating Beverage List
as Being Exempt.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Reconsideration
of the prohibition enforcement bill in the
Senate to-day was notable for the al
most total absence Of the sharp debate
that marked the measure on its passage
through the House. Modified in many
particulars by the Senate Judiciary
Committee. the arrival of the bill on the
Senate floor failed to evoke sufficient in
terest to bring more than score of
Senators into the chamber during the
two hours or more the debate proceeded
Only one roll call was demanded, al
though virtually all of the committee
amendments had been approved before
the measure was laid aside.
The only additions made to the COM
mittee amendments were one by Sena-
tor McNary (Ore.), Republican. adding
sweet cider to the Notwithstanding bev-
erages specifically exempted from the
terms of the act, and one by Senator
Overman IN. c.. Democrat, exempting
drink cure sanatoriums from the rigid
ity of restrictions against the admins
tration of liquor by doctors prescrip-
ton.
The roll call was on objection by
Senator Thomas (Col.), Democrat, to
committee amendment fixing the burden
of proof on the defendant in certain
classes of violation to show that liquor
seized did not in fact contain more
than one-half of / per cent. of alcohol.
The amendment was stricken out, %
to 36.
Another amendment obtained by SEN
ator Thomas with the approval Of Sem
ator Sterling Is. d., Republican, In
charge of the bill, would provide that
in cases of emergency doctors might ad-
minister liquor as a stimulant without
going through forms otherwise pro-
Yided.
Senator Simmons IN. c.. Democrat,
speaking on the effort to obtain relief
for the drink cure sanitorium had been
Informed by the proprietor of such an
institution in North Carolina, he said.
that the limit of a pint of liquor per pa
tient in any ten day period would COM
pei this sanitorium to abandon its treat
ment. which was based on a "taperlng
OFF, plan. Senator Nelson (Minn.), Re
publican, said in most cases the course
followed in such institutions was to mix
whiskey and castor oil or some similar
liquid, making the whiskey unpalatable
and arousing a distaste for 1t. Both
Senators, amid laughter, protested that
they had no personal knowledge OF the
matter.
At another point, Senator Phelan
(Cal), Democrat, asked II the right of
individuals to have liquor In theiT dwell
ings was fixed in the bill as a personal
right, and IL that right followed the per-
son, permitting him to move his supply
from one house to another IL he changed

1ected Senator Thomas
When discussion is resumed to-mor-
row, the bill will be open for general
amendment but indications tonight
were that 1t would go through virtually
as now framed and without much delay,
leaving the final form of the act TO be
adjusted in conference.

"Shantung is for China what Alsace-
Lorraine was for France" he declared.

The President said he was well
pleased with his reception In Columbus,
and made clear his intention as the
trip goes on to follow out his plan Of
taking up details of the treaty one after
another and laying them before the peo-
Pile. He indicated that he believed the

ashamed Of myself II discussed this
great matter as a Democrat and not es
an American i am sure that every man
who looks at II without party prejudice
and as an American will find In that
treaty more things that are genuinely
American than were ever put into any
The chief thing to notice about II is
that 1t is the first treaty ever made
by great Powers that was not made in
their own favor. 1t is made for the
protection of the weak peoples of the
world and not for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
the strong. That is a noble achieve
ment, and II is largely due to the in
huence of such great peoples as the
people Of America, who hold at their
heart this principle that nobody has the
right to impose sovereignty upon any
body else, that in disposing Of the af-
fairs OF nation that nation or people
must be it's own master and make its
own choice.
The extraordinary achievement Of
This treaty is that 1t gives a free cholcs
to people who never could have won It
for themselves. 1t is for the first time
in the history of international transact
lions an act of systematic justice and
not an act OF grabbing and seizing.
IF you will just regard that as the
heart Of the treaty, for II is the heart
II is put In q different light. II we
want to stand by that principle then we
can Justify the history Of America as we
can in no other way, for that Is the hie-
tory and principle of America. That Is
at the heart of II. I beg that wher-
ever you consider this great matter you
will look at II from this point OF view:
Shall we or shall we, not sustain the
first great act of international justice?
The thing wears a very big aspect when
you look at it that way, and a1f-iittle
matters seem to fall away and one seems
ashamed to bring in special interests.
