 Long One. CROWD KISSES CALL
 TO CEASE OUTBURST Missourian Bitterly Assails Great Britain, Severely and HarshIy
 Plays President-A shurst
 Target for Crowd.

Washington, Sept. 22JAt the end Of four-hour attack on the League of Nations by Senator Reed of Mis- sourl, the senate galleries today started a demonstration that had to wear itself out then hissed violent disapproval when the cheering was condemned from the floor.
 There has been no outburst like it since the treaty fight was put sharply before the senate by the for elgn relations committee. But there were indications today soon after Senator Reed began his speech that the crowds, sWarming for admittance at all doors, were in sympathy with his argument. Mindful of the evi- dence of feeling in the galleries, Senator Cummins, president pro-tem, gave warning that while applause might be tolerated, despite senate rules, at the end of the address, it would not be permitted at other times. Threats to clear the galleries if repeated had no effect and no at tempt was made to enforce the long standing rule.
 When Senator Reed, wiEh arms lifted high closed his speech, and sat down, the applause broke, fol- lowed instantly by lusty cheering from every gallery. Men in uniform joined in the demonstration and many women stood, waved their arms and shouted with the men.
 Senator Ashurst, democrat of Ari- zona, sitting next to Senator Reed and first to congratulate him, shouted loudly for order a moment later, and the crowds, not knowing what to expect, suddenly became still. But the quiet orderliness of the senate did not prevail longer for as the spectators realized that their conduct was being condemned, wave of hissing swept through the chamber, while gallery guards struggled manfully, but unsuccess- spcnsible for it.
 Arizona Kissed.
 Still speaking to the crowds, Sen ator Ashurst declared the fate of nations was at stake, while they "were attempting to make the senate of the Pnited States police court, v and appealed by name to Senator Lodge and Hitchcock, the party lead CTS, to drop it. The Arizona sena- tor declared the galleries would not applaud a decision of the highest court, which has never been called upon to decide a question of such tremendous importance to the world. The appeal was met with another volley of hissing, to which the Ari- zona senator replied that only snakes and geese hissed. Meanwhile the chair was pounding for order, and the crowds began piling out pell
 mell, while members on the floor were swarming around Senator Reed.
 Senator Lodge finally was recogni- l zed above the hubbub and, leaning on his desk, and smiling; addressed the chair:
 "In order to return to that serene 1 and calm atmosphere described by the senator from Arizona, l move that we adjourn" and there was no dissent to the laughter of "ayes."
 The principal part of Senator
 Reeds speech was an argument against the league covenant, with a
 bitter assault on the clause giving Great Britain six votes in the Lea gue Assembly to one of the United 1 States. President Wilson was sharp ly and severely attacked by Senator l Reed, who declared he had counsell- , ed with kings to transfer to them the sovereignty Washington had won l with the sword.
