DEMOCRATS QUIT ]. FIGHT FOR TREATY
When Senator Borah Presented Copy in Senate, Presidents Supporters Crumpled and Famous Paper Is
 Ordered Printed.

Washington, June 10.-The fight of the Senate for a copy of the Peace Treaty ended when the Chicago Tri- bune copy was presented to the Senate and, after an all-day battle, printed in the Congressional Record Senator Borah of the Foreign Relations com nittee turned the copy over to the Senate and directed the fight for its admittance.
 All day long the Democratic mem bers of the Senate fought against the admittance or its publication. It was not until Senator Borah had started to read the 80,000-word document into the daily record that the Democrats surrendered and the privilege of pub fishing the treaty in the Congressional Record was obtained.
 Since Senator Borah was handling the fight for the treaty in the Senate, the copy was handed to him. The text was not telegraphed until after the copy had formally been placed in official hands.
 HitchcOck LOOK feek. During the voting Senator Hitch cock, who has been the President s chief defender in his refusal to give the senate the privilege of seeing the k original treaty, slipped over to the Republican side, and Senator Borah permitted him to glance thru the Fri bune's copy.
 Convinced tot this was a genuine < copy. Mir. Hitchcock refrained from making any commerG as to the valid ity of the copy, but vehemently at tackled the manner in which it might have been obtained. He and his Dem ocratic colleagues played upon the idea that it might have been obtained # in an illigitimate manner. & A vigorous defense of the Senate right to have the treaty published was delivered by Senator Johnson of Cali fornia, who asserted that the Ameri- can public is entitled to the text of the treaty as much as the people of # Germany and other countries where it had been published, and as much as certain Wall Stree. interests" said to have copies of the treaty.
 "What Wall Street has the Ameri- can people have a right to have" Sen # ator Johnson said.
 The Democrats Fought Hard.
 The Democrats fought hard, even tually blocking publication of the text in the record for the time being by mo- tion of Senator Beckham of Kentucky to reconsider the vote by which pub lication was ordered.
 The Democrats proceeded to fiji buster to delay vote on motion to reconsider, whereupon Senator Borah began to read the S0,000-word text in Do the record.
