Parliamentary Tangles Must Be
Removed Before Debate :"
Can Be Begun.
LONG CONTEST AHEAD.
Leaders See Some Hope Of Ratifica-
ton But Others Believe Con-
troversary Will Go Into Pres
Dental Campaign.

Washington.-The Treaty Of Versail-
les which has lain in parliamentary
p1geonhole since November while
basis for it's ratification was unsuccess.
fully sought in private negotiations
has been brought formally before the
Senate again.
Although prompt agreement is ex-
pected generally on many of the minor
paints at issue long and better con-
test is forecast over Article 10 and
perhaps few other treaty provisions.
The leaders on both sides profess to:
see some hope of ratification but some
other senators believe the deadlock
certain to continue until the contro-
versy has been fought out in the presi-
Dental campaign. Republican and
Democratic leaders plan to cooperate
in untangling the parliamentary re-
strictions which must be removed from
about the treaty to permit it again to
be considered and to rid it of the clo-
ture imposed in November. These
parliamentary technicalities are ex-
pected to delay the beginning Of &C.
tual debate for ceveral days.
Wilson Letter Chief Topic.
Aside from the outstanding issues
of the treaty fight itself the most
prominent subjects of discussion
among senators was the letter of Pres
ident Wilson laid before the Demo-
cratic conference and made public by
Senator Hitchcock, the Democratic
leader. The Presidents renewed de-
claration of opposition to some of the
language of some of the Republican
reservations was interpreted in diff
ferent ways by the various elements
in the Senate situation. Some de-
clared the letter an uncompromising
reiteration of the stand taken by the
President on the eve Of the November
ratification vote and asserted that pub
LEGATION of his letter at this time again
had widened the breach between the
Democratic and Republican senate
forces Others protesting to see new
evidences of concession in the Presi-
dents words predicted an opposite
effect
Although the Presidents letter was
written before publication of the state
ment by Viscount Grey, British ambas-
sador to the United States, regarding
reservations in some quarters it was
suggested that the letter would not
have been permitted to have become
public if the British statesman's views
had resulted in any change in the Pres
idents position.

Gen. F. G. Marshall on his arrival from
Camp Taylor with 300 troops Of the
famous First division, which helped
repulse the Germans at Chateau
Thierry.
Tries to Storm Courthouse.
Rioting began when a mob bent on
lynching William Lockett, negro,
who confessed to the murder last
week of 10-year-old Geneva Hardman,
was fired on with rifles and machine
guns by state militiamen as the mob
was storming the Fayette county
courthouse to get the negro during his
trial.
The attempt to lynch Lockett was
the murder and as the jury found him
guilty of murder in the first degree.
He was sentenced to die in the cleo
trio chair on March II. ::
The shooting temporarily dispersed
the mob and gave the authorities: time
in which to rush Lockett to secret
place of safety. The mob reformed,
however, and looted pawnshops and
hardware stores to get firearms.
Appeal for More Troops.
Fearing an attack on the handful Of
National Guardsmen on duty, the au-
thorities appealed to Governor Nor
row for assistance. AS result 300
troops, members of the Twenty-sixth

a special train from Camp Taylor.
The federal troops Immediately be-
gan the work of patrolling the streets
to keep crowds from congregating. :
Hundreds of farmers from the sur
rounding country arrived early to
attend the trial, and sullenly watched
the prisoner as he was marched from
the train to the court house between
lines or state troopers. When the trial
opened the court room was crowded to
capacity. Every one was searched for
firearms before being admitted to the
court house. Hundreds were unable to
gain admittance to the court rooms
and congregated in the street in front
of tho courthouse.
Mob Never Falters.
The cry. Lets get him." from a
brawny farmer on the outskirts of the
crowd turned the crowd into a mob
which began surging toward the en-
trance to the building. Soldiers. and
police dropped back into close forma-
ton and trained their guns on the
mob, which never hesitated
Adjutant General Deweese, in COM
mand of the militiamen, shouted a fin
al warning to the crowd and then fired
a revolver into the air. It was the sig
nal for the troops to fire.

Wholesale Dry Goods association in
New York recently, William B. Glover
a member of the federal trade commits
sion, gave number of good reasons
why the peace treaty should be rati-
fed without further delay. He said:
"The business of the nation is suffering
by reason of unsettled conditions and it
will continue to suffer more and more
severely. When business suffers, every
body suffers. The international situa-
ton has direct bearing upon the bust
ness situation of every concern in the
United States. It reflects directly upon
every wage Garner and every farmer as
well as upon every merchant and every
manufacturer. We find ourselves in a
technical state of war. Our foreign re-
lations are disturbed and our foreign
commerce disrupted. It has been more
than a year since the war has ended
and q treaty Of peace has not yet been
ratified. The solemn ratification of a
treaty of peace would substitute a fixed
and known condition for the present
condition Of uncertainty. -.
"FrOm a business standpoint, it
seems to me that the essence of the
League Of Nations plan is the abolish.
ment of secret treaties and intrigues.
"Secret treaties usually carry with
them preferential trade arrangements,
great or small. If the League Of Ma
lions did nothing more than to put an
end to secret treaties and secret trade
arrangements and if the ratification OF
the treaty did nothing more than to sub
stitute stability for instability in Our
relation to our enemy, allies and neutral
nations, American business would have
cause to rejoice and to 60 forward with
confidence and courage to meet the
problems which it must meet and which
: r, cutie as difficult as were the prob
lens Of war.
"These things are too important and
too vital to successful business and COM
merce and to the daily life OF the Amer
lean people to be used as chips in a
game Of politics. They are not partisan
Questions. They are national qucs-
tions.'
