Threatens to Clear GalIeriss

nredrehS 10 tleaT 0dlieTiSs
 Vice President Marshall made no at- tempt to check the first demonstration until it had begun to die out but later he twice threatened to clear the gal leries unless order was preserved.
 Senator Lodges address, itself un- interrupted, was made chiefly against the league provisions which he said would make the United States sub iect nation and ended with an appeal for the preservation of Anericanism. The covenant in its present form. he asserted would not establish league of peace but would destroy the Mon roe doctrine and give other nations the power to decide domestic American questions and to order American troops into foreign service.
 Senator Williams bitterly assailed the foreign relations chairman, declar ing that in three months of prepara tion he had worded his address to serve republican political ends and to play to the galleries.
 Doesn't Seek Rejection
 There was no appeal in Senator Lodges address for rejection of the league altogether nor was there any mention os the program of reservations proposed by seven republican senators as a basis of it's acceptance. It was learned, however, that this program had been discussed with him by some of it's sponsors and that conference of republicans would be held within few days at which an attempt will be made to bring the Massachusetts sen ator and several others into agreement on such plan.
 It was understood the reservation group felt they had good ground for believing that their proposal would be accepted by MT. Lodge and that enough republicans then could be lined up to insure success of the movement should the democratic lead CTS give their assent.
 Committee Has Tumultuous Session The uproar in the senate chamber followed an equally tumultuous session of the foreign relations committee at which David Hunter Miller. legal ad- wiser 10 the league of nations commits sion at Versailles, was vigorously questioned by republican senators about the genesis of the league cove nant and the meaning of some of it's provisions. Clashes over the manner of questioning the witness resulted re- peatedly in intervention by the chair man to restore order.
 l MT. Miller said he never had seen the American plan" for a league of nations until it was in printed form ready for submission to the commission and that later the basis of discussion by the commission was a composite plan framed from the drafts of the various nations by himself and c. J. P. Hurst, legal attache of the British foreign office Under questioning the witness said he was a law partner of Gorden Auchincloss. son-in-l law of Col E. M House, and never had any l experience in international negotiation until he was given an appointment in the state department in 1917
 miller's Answers Evasive
 The witness was asked many hypo- thefical questions about the operation of the league covenant and his answers were objected to several times by re publican members as evasive. On some of the questions he reserved judgment 1t was the opinion of committee members however, that MT. Miller would not be recalled and that no fur ther witnesses would be asked to come before the committee in it's considera- ton of the treaty. Some members want to ask that Colonel House. wnv still is in Europe, be called to answer questions about the league, but the general expectation is that the pro- posal will be abandoned because too great a delay would result
 The republican senators who have agreed on reservation program are anxious that the treaty be disposed of at the earliest possible moment and it IS believed they will try to impress that sentiment at the forthcoming con ferences with Senator Lodge and others.
