SENATOR'S PROBING
 STEEL STRIKE ARE
 NOW IN P|TTSbURG
View Everything From Metal in Rolling Mills to Homes of Mill Workers.
 To Hear Both Sides

Pittsburg, October 10.--Senators inves- tigating the steel strike put in busy day in the Pittsburg district, and viewed everything from the incandescent metal in rolling mills to the culinary equip ment in the homes of mill workers. They discussed strike conditions with plant superintendents. and held informal eau cuses with strikers in the back streets of Homestead and Clairton
 Chairman Kenyon said they wanted to be sure and hear both sides. and volun- teer and voluble interpreters made it easy for the foreign born elements among the strikers to be heard.
 At Homestead. just before the party arr rived, there was an exchange of shots between strikers and armed workmen, but the committee did not get up to the front in time to see anything of the fracag
 In the mills of the Carnegie company, visited d; Duquense and sHomestead, of ficials would concede that only a small number of men were on strike. At Clair ton, however, the senators were told that 1900 men out of 5000 normally employed remained out.
 Strikers in the street meetings with the senators denied these claims, and in polygiot fashion asserted that many thou sands of men were missing from the scene of usual duties.
 Chairman Kenyon at Homestead broke his party up into details of one, which resulted in each senator gathering a crowd running up into hundreds at al most every front porch where he stopped. Senator Sterling of South Dakota, with a cluster of youngsters hanging on his coat tails was taken into two or three houses in one block. while one man act ing as usher would observe at each door; Here's the way some more of Judge Gary's high paid help has to. live.

NORRIS TAXES UP THREE HOURS IN A
 STRONG ATTACK ON
 SHANTUNG SECTION
Senate Begins Next Week to Put in Longer Working Day in Hope of Clear ing Away Big Speak
 ing Programme
By Associated Press

Washington, October. 10 - All of the time set aside by the Senate today for consideration
 of the peace treaty was taken
 up by Senator Norris, repub-
 lican, of Nebraska, with a
 three-hour attack on the Shan tung settlement, and half an
 hours reading of the printed text.
 When the Nebraska senator halted for moment, with his speech only two- third through, Republican Leader Lodge gave him a breathing spell by suggesting
 that the Senate shift to the reading. Senator Norris will conclude tomor- row, Senator Lodge also may speak and the Senate will meet an hour earlier than usual in the hope of speeding up
 the treaty consideration,
 The agreement for II o'clock opening was taken to indicate that the Senate will begin next week to put in a longer working day with the hope Of clearing away the big speechmaking programme. At the suggestion of Senator Lodge the Senate also adopted an agreement | to take up the Shantung amendments I Wednesday, but this does not mean that | they will be considered under the five l minute debating rule then or that vote I is any nearer than 1t was yesterday. ' Senators explained that this procedure would 4enaEle the body to revert to the
 section embracing tie ShantGng progi- ! sions as the reading by Wednesday may be way ahead of 1t. But If senators
 want to keep on speaking that day and thereafter they will have that right. 1 OUTRAGE OF AGE
 l Senator Norris, speaking extempora- neously, which is quite different from the ! plan followed by most of his colleagues, was particularly severe in denouncing | the award of Shantung to Japan. | There was no hope, he declared, of see ing that province back under the United | States flag once it was taken over by
 Japan under the peace conference settle l ment, which he characterized as the
 outrage of the age"
 1 He charged that American people had 1 been coerced in some cases" to subscribe to loans to support this government which was lending money to Great Brit ain at 4is per cent. while great Britain was lending it to Persia at per cent
 There was only brief reference to the league of nations during the 'mornine 1 hour the time for filling the record with documents indorsing and condemn ing it. Only a few of these documents
 went in, but some senators have ex- plained that if they undertook |. to print everything bearing oI the league from people in all parts of the country there
 would be little room in the record fol anything else.

 Only 5000 Strong
By Associated Press

Atlanta, Ga,s october 10.-The Confed- crate veterans reunion of 1919 came to a close tonight with grand ball at the Auditorium armory. but the crownins feature of the day was the sight of the old soldiers themselves marching in their annual parade
 The remnant of Lees armies that marched today was little more than 5000 strong, some in uniform of the old Con- federate gray and others in civilian clothes. The streets, gaily decorated for the occasion, were literally damned with spectators who oheered and wept and laughed as the heroes of the sixties passed in review, many of them for the last time.
 Boy Scouts carried water for the old soldiers and Red Cross ambulances fol- lowed in the wake of the various divis- Ions but few of those who started out to march would accept ride, even though dropped cut of line and rested on the curb, then joined the next division that came along.
 The parade took nearly two hours to pass the reviewing stand. the old soldiers themselves being almost outnumbered by their escorts of honor, and members of bands that accompanied them. The band and the machine gun battalion CT the Fifth division of regulars stationed al Camp Gordon was one of the escorts Local military schools sent their cadets and various civic and fraternal orsaniza- lions also were in the line. There were also a few representatives of the con federate ravy, headed by Admiral Wright

Everywhere winning the souls and bodies of men. women and children, breaking up families. sowing hatred, emulation, strife. sedition.
 It requires only a casual examination of the bible to demonstrate that the fundamental claim of spiritualism is wholly without foundation or authority. The scriptures plainly teach that the dead are in an unconscious condition till the day of resurrection. During this period they neither love, nor hate. nor envy, and they have no Knowledge of anything that takes place on the earth.
 These were some of the statements made by Evangelist J. Ernest Bond. of the Adventist church, who is conduct ] ing a series of meetings in the Gospel i Pavilion, corner Fifth avenue and Ell more street. His subject last night was "Spiritualism," and throughout the | discourse he recited scripture verses l declaring that it is impossible for the
 dead and living to communicate with each other. When man dies, instead of going to heaven or to hell, or to some intermediate state, he passes into a condition of unconscious sleep with the
 grave as his house. "So man hett down and riseth not; till the heavens
 be no more, they shall not awake, nol
 be raised out of their sleep. Oh that
 Thou wouldst keep me secret, until tho
 wrath be past, that thou wouldst ap- point me a set time, and remember
