NORRIS ATTACK FAILS
IN TWO HOUR SESSION
Contention Raised on Three
Points of Order is 0verruIed
by viCe-President Marshall
and Sustained in Appeal.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 9.-The sem
ate today voted by So to to suspend
the rules for the purpose of reconsid-
ering the treaty. Lodge later moved
to recommit the treaty to the foreign
relations committee with the "reser-
vations adopted by the senate and the
resolution of ratification with instruc-
tions to report the treaty back inn
mediately.''
The nine senators voting against the
motion were all republicans. They
We're: Borah, Brandegee. France.
Gronna, Knox. Mccormack. Norris,
Poindexter and Sherman.
Norris raised a point of order when
Lodge moved to reconsider the treaty.
He contended that Lodge was not en-
titled to make the motion because he
did not vote with the prevailing side
at the last session; second. because
under senate rules reconsideration is
impossible and third, the treaty was
finally disposed of in the last session
and it is now too late to revive it.
Vice President Marshall cverruled
Norris, who Immediately appealed
from his decision. The senate sustain-
ed MarshaTTs ruling to the effect that
Norris point of order was not well TAX
en-. The vote was 50 to 10.
The senate adopted Lodges motion.
The whole proceeding lasted less than
-wo hours.
