 Everyone was searched for firearms house. Hundreds were unable to sain admittance to the courtroom and con- .gregated in the street in front of the courthouse.
 The cry, Let's 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. SolSiers and po- lice dropped back into close formation and trained their guns on the mob, which never hesitated.
 SOLDIERS OPEN FIRE
 .Adjutant General DeWeese, in com mand of the militiamen, shouted final warning to the crowd and then fired a revolver into the air. It was the signal for the troops to fire.
 Soldiers and police fired point

 windows of the courtroom above another hail of bullets spattered on
 the asphalt street.
 Four men fell at the first voliey.

NOT BINDING

In asking that the committee be in- structed to return the republican reser- vations along with the treaty, Senator Lodge declared the stipulation would bind no one and was requested merely to get the reservations back before the Senatef or possible revision. When that has been dNne the republican leader is expected to propose modih cations agreed on by the disbanded bi- partisan compromise conference, thus opening again the whole field of com promise discussion
 In all quarters it was en phasized to- night that the smoothness of the day. proceedings was not to be taken as assuring any agreement between the parties on reservations. Although many senators professed 10 be very hopeful of ratification, it was conceded everywhere that many difficulties still stood in the way. There were evi- dences also that the irreconcilable group had plars i it own to magnify 1 these difficnlsies as much as possible

sTAND-PATTERs VOTE NO

Thirty-four democrats and twenty nine republicans voted to suspend the Senate rules so that the treaty again could be considered, while nine republic cans, all of them of the irreconcilable group, vote dagainst it. The action was taken on motion of Senator Lodge after one of the irreconcilables sena- tor Norris, republican, Nebraska. had blocked suspension of the rules by unanimous consent,
 By exclamation, and again on the motion of the republican leader, the Senate then ordered reconsideration of it's previous roll call on ratification and sent the treaty to committee. The latter step, it was explained, was taken to abrogate the cloture which was im- posr- last session and which Vice President Marshall held must come back into the Senate with the treaty.
 Only two roll calls were taken, one on the motion to suspend the rules and another on sustaining the Vice Presi- dent when he overruled Senator Norris point of order against the motion to re. consider the ratification vote. The lat ter resulted in a count of 62 to 10, the irreconcilables, alone refusing to back up the ruling of the chair.
 Later Senator Norris made a speech bitterly criticzing the parliamentars methods by which the treaty's reconsid eration was accomplished.
