SENATE DEFEATS
ALL AMENDMENTS
SOUGHT BY FALL
Total of SO Proposed Changes
in Treaty Voted Down by
SOIOnS-Nine More To Be
Acted On.

WASHINGTON, Oct. AT last
reaching the stage OF action in its con-
sideration Of the peace treaty, the sem
ate swept aside In quick succession late
y vri,eay ~ OF the, = amendments
written into the document by me
foreign relations committee. The
smallest majority recorded against any
OF the proposals was Is and the largest
was rs. All amendments considered had
been introduced by Senator Fail Repub-
mean New Mexico. and were. designed
TO curtail American participation in
the war.
or the nine amendments yet to be
acted on, six relate to the Shantung
section, two propose to equallze voting
power In the league Of nations and
one would limit American representa-
ION on the reparations commission In
the absence OF definite agreement
for disposition Of these proposals, SEN
ate leaders thought tonight that the de-
bate might run on Tor several days be-
fore another roll call Is taken.
Throughout the days voting the Dem
oerats presented a solid front against
the amendments except for Senators
Gore, Of Oklahoma, and Thomas, Of Col
orado. Seventeen Republicans on the
other hand, lined up against the first
committee proposal to be considered
and most Of them stood with the Demo-
Gratis on all succeeding roll calls Many
announced they were for reservations
which they believed would cover the
same ground without endangering the
treaty, At adjournment the treaty ad-
vocates declared themselves elated at
the days work and the opposition lead
ers also were claiming a victory on the
showing made for their amendments.
They mustered n maximum strength
of 81, which with absentees would be
sufficient they declared, to insure the
treaty's defeat unless satisfactory quail
ficatlons are accepted Thirty-t three
negative votes on the final roll call, they
pointed out, would make impossible the
two-thirds majority necessary for rati-
fication. ~
Under a special agreement speeches
on the amendments were limited to five
minutes and nearly half the senate
membership got into the running de-
bate which occupied most of the day
only few senator's were absent and
many members OF the house crowded
into the rear OF the chamber to see the
first actual action on the treaty, while
In the filled galleries the ushers stood
guard In the aisles to restrain specta-
tors from applauding the declarations
from the floor.
Once during the debate the rule
against applause was broken, however,
a wave of handclapping following a
speech by Senator McCumber, of North
Dakota, a Republican member Of the
committee, pleaded against amendment
Of the treaty and concluded by declaring
that no harm could come of Americas
doing It's full duty to the very end
The demonstration was quickly hushed
by vigorous use of the gayel.
There were only four roll calls, all
the other amendments being voted down
by reclamation.

The two other girl victims also took
the witness stand. They were not per-
mitted by Judge Guthrie to tell any
thing regarding the alleged assaults on
themselves, but were forced to confine
their testimony to matters affecting
John Frey and the 1S-year-old girl on
that night.
DR., j, r. Drake, police surgeon, and
