The Barons went out in order in their
half of the inning, but tied the count
in the second. After Bernsen had
grounded out, Ellis hit safe past Dau-
bert and moved up to second on Hair
stons infield out. Billy Webb then de-
livered with a beautiful double over
Daniels head, scoring Ellis.
The Pels were easy in the second but
in the third, Daniels beat out another
bunt and stole second, only to be left
on base when knapp and Sullivan went

STIRRED
BY RAISING RACE
ISSUE ON LEAGUE
Reed, Of Missouri, wits
Southerners:; Clashes
With Hitchcock.

Washington. May o6-The league ol
nations was debated in the senate again
| today. with an increasing show of bit
| terness.
| Senator Reed. democrat. of Missouri
attacked the proposal in such vigorous
| terms that be aroused objections from
senator's supporting it and developed a
running debate colored by dramatic ac-
cusations and heated retorts. He declar-
ed the league would place the destinies
of the white race in the hands of ignor-
ant and superstitious nations of black
and yellow population, and charged that
many democrats were supporting it for
partisan reasons.
Interruptirg Senator Reed, Senator
Hitchcock. of Nebraska, ranking
democrat Of The foreign relations com
mittee. insisted that the premises for
these charges were false and that the
differences drawn were unfair and
dangerous.
Knox Joins i'm Excitement
Senator Knox, republican, of Pennsyl-
vania, then suggested that league sup
porters should read the covenant before
discussing it.
So heated did the exchanges become
that the chair raped for order and
Senator Reed declared Senator Hitch
cock had lost his temper.
The measure which brot the league
issue before the senate was the resoIu-
tion Of Senator Johnson, republican, of
California. requesting from the state de-
partment the full text of the peace
treaty. There was no attempt 10 reach
vote on the resolution on which debate
began Friday, and the measure went
over again as unfinished business, to
come up when the senate reconvenes
Wednesday.
If by Republican, Would Fight It.
Senator Reed made general attack
on the league covenant as proposal to
hand over control of the white race aud
the civilized world to an assembly of
nations where majority always could
be hrot together on any race question
in opposition to white supremacy. He de-
clared support of the league plan never
could be explained at home by senators
from the South, with its negro problem.
Or from the west, with its Chinese and
japanese problems. Turning dramatically
to his democratic colleagues, he con
tinued:
If Il republican president had brot
it here. there isn't a democrat that
wouldn't have been standing BY nv side
fighting to the last ditch to rescue the
country from SO monstrous and so cruel
a thing"
Vents Sarcasm on Charue.
Senator Reed and Mr. Hitchcock apain
