BER II, 1918.
Louisville, KY, Case Hinged Upon
Interpretation of When Con-
flict Ceased.

Louisville, KY, March 24.-Fed-
eral Judge Walter Evans, deciding a
case which hinged upon ar interpre-
tation of when the European war
ended, today decided that the war
was brought to close when the
armstice was signed" and that Pres
ident Wilson ''in an official speech"
had made that declaration upon
which the court predicated the de-
cision.
Judge Evans refused to take cog
nizance of telegram from Attorney
General Palmer to the effect that
Congress declared war and only Con-
gress could terminate it, as far as
the United States is concerned, by
ratifying a treaty of peace, and
quotation from Secretary of War
Baker that the arn1istice meant only
cessation of hostilities.
The case at bar was that of a resi-
dent of Louisville charged with a vio-
lation of wartime and military regula-
tions.

DEMOCRATS REBuKE REED
r6 Members of the Missouri House
of Representatives Leave Hall
When He Said That Pres
ident Wilson Was
Wrong.

The senior senator from Missouri
who is making speaking tour OF the
state in opposition to President Will
sons League of Nations stirred up a
hornets nest when he addressed a
large audience in the hall OF the
house of representatives at Jefferson
City Wednesday Of last week. His
remarks were loudly applauded by
the Republicans and some few Dem
ocrats, but the climax came when he
said: "The President is wrong"
"No, no, no, he isn't, you are
wrong" shouted the solid. Demo
cratic side of the house and sixteen
members arose and filed from the
room: Other Democrats said after
wards that they wanted to leave but
stayed to hear what he had to say.
Thursday resolutions denouncing
Reed for his 'sneering and sarcas-
tic" attack on President Wilson in
his Thursdays speech on the League
of Nations, and suggesting that he
resign from office, were unanimously
adopted at conference OF more
than 50 Democratic members of the
House.
The Democrats expressed their
confidence in the President.
The resolutions declared Reed was
not entitled to claim any title or
standing as Democrat in Missouri
and that he is now holding the office
to the "entire dissatisfaction of the
party which nominated and elected
him."
His speech was characterized as a
direct insult to the party and people
who have elevated him into such a
high office, and that he is now at
tempting to belittle and belle the ac-
complishments of the leadership of
the Democratic party of the last six
years.
Friday kilograms began to pour in-
to Jefferson City to the Democratic
representatives, indorsing their a.:i-
tude for denouncing Reed for his
"sneering and sarcastic" attack IN
President Wilson and the League OF
Nations.
Press dispatches from different
parts of the state say meeting of
Democrats are being held and resolu-
tions adopted condemning the speech
and Reeds attitude in opposition to
the President as being undemocratic.
Friday night he made another
speech to a large audience in st.
Louis, where he was the dinner guest
OF Senator Spencer.
"A dispatch to the St. Louis Repub-
lie dated Monday, says:
In order that their rebuke to Sen
ator James A. Reed can be State
