WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. - Official
information bearing on the reported
disappearance in Ukralnia of Briga-

President Charged
With Attempting
to Coerce Senate

WASHINGTON, Oct. AFTER a
three-hour discussion of the peace
treaty, the dominant note of which
was a sharp attack on President Will
son, the senate late yesterday decided
on a breathing spell until Monday,
with indications that the debate would
soon embrace the provisions under
which the Chinese province of Shan
tung was awarded to Japan.
The attack on the President was
made by Senator Jones, republican,
of Washington, who had expected to
speak two days ago. In charging that
the President chad done more to un-
dermine orderly government than any
other agency" Senator Jones declar-
ed "the attempt to coerce" the senate
into ratifying the treaty unamended
or without reservations "embodies
the spirit of the mob and justified
lawlessness."
The Presidents friends should tell
him plainly and bluntly and promptly
that the treaty has no chance of rati-
fication in its present form, said the
senator, who added, "and they will
do so when he is able to receive it."
Senator Thomas, democrat, of Colo
rado, discussed the amendment of
Senator Johnson, republican, of Cali
fornia, designed to equalize the vot-
ing power of the United States and
Great Britain. He opposed this
change in the League of Nations COW
enant as proposed by Senator John
son, he said, because the same point
was covered in the McCumber reser-
walton for which he would vote.
Senators McCumber, North Dakota,
and Lenroot, Wisconsin, republicans,
and King, democrat, Utah, spoke brief
ly Senator McCumber announcing
that he would undertake to show how
much "gross misinformation" had
been spread concerning the British
American voting proposition.

Clothes Torn
From Her Body

KNOXVILLE, Oct. A daring
attempt on the part of man de-
scribed as "tall and slender with a
little mustache," resulted in failure
when screams of Mrs. Chas. E. Phipps
frightened the assailant from his pur-
pose, according to the story told by
Mrs. Phipps, who resides with her
husband at 211 West Wells street.
The incident occurred shortly after
eight o'clock yesterday evening.
Mrs. Phipps and her husband, who
says he is an employe of the Southern
railway company, were spending Fri
day evening at home, and they were
in the front room of the two-story
house in which they reside, Mrs.
Phipps playing piano.
Mrs. Phipps left the room momen-
tarily, she says, and went to the back
porch of the house to get a drink
of water. AS she stepped toward the
edge of the porch, she says, a man
who evidently had been crouching by
the side of it, rose, grasped her by
the arm, and pulled her to the ground.
Mrs. Phipps says that she screamed,
and scuffled with the man, who had
taken grasp on her clothes. She
says she managed to jerk away from
him, tearing her clothes from her
body in so doing, and that as she
started to run, the man struck her
with his fist in her side.
The woman says she ran to the
front of her house, wflere she tainted.
Meanwhile, the screams had attracted
Mr.. Phipps, who ran 10 his wife's as
3istance in time to see a dim figure
disappear in. the darkness. Mrs.
Phipps says that as she pulled away
from the man he said to her: "Never
mind, I'll get you yet" She says
she did not know whether he was a
negro or a white man.
Mr.. Phipps, being a railroad man,
is frequently away from home, and
had just arrived between 8 and A
o'clock Friday morning, after sew
aral days absence. He slept through
out Friday until late in the afternoon,
and he advances the theory that who
ever made the attack believed him
TO be still away.

Fighter" Mrs. Whetzel was granted
a divorce from her husband at the
last term of Circuit Court, and it is
thought that Whetzel was jealous of
her attentions to other men.
After lounging about the streets
of Kingsport several hours, Whetzel
is said to have made his way to the
laundry about FIVE o'clock yesterday
evening. Entering the offices of the
establishment, he is reported to have
demanded the presence of his former
wife. Owing to considerable work in
the plant at this time, it is reported
that he was refused, and boy, AL
bert Roller attempted to stop him
from reaching tte stairway leading
to the second floor of the building.
He beat the young man with his fists,
and succeeded in gazing admittance to
the stairway.
Directly upon reaching the upper
floor, Whetzel, is said to have started
firing. He used .32 calibre Colts
revolver, and fired three times at his
former wife, who was working at an
ironing machine. The first shot is
said to have entered the shoulder of
the woman, while the second entered
her left breast. The third shot went
wild. She was Immediately given
medical attention, but physicians re-
ported that The first shot killed her.

City police department, and is sur
vived by one brother, four sisters and
her mother. She was 80 years of
age, The couple had no children.
She had formerly been the wife of
Frank Solyer, but was also granted
a divorce from him. WhetzeI will
be given a preliminary hearing today,
it is thought. He is said to have a
reputation at Kingsport as a gunman,
having been one of the principals in
a pistol duel some time ago. At that
time, Sam Devault is said to have shot
Whetzel through the stomach.
