More and More Senators
Swing to View of Great
Comm0ner.
DEMOCRATS IN OPEN
REBELLION IN SENATE
No Show Down on Article X.
Simmons Still Fighting for
\ Compromise.
(BY ]. BART CAMPBELLl

Washington, March lid n. s.
Opposition to the treaty being made
a campaign issue developed so
strongly today among democratic
senator's that it was claimed thirty
or them were prepared to desert the
leadership of Senator Hitchcock, of
Nebraska, the administration treaty
manager.
Senator Simmons, of North Caro-
lima, leader of the democratic SEN
ators seeking ratification, openly de-
clared he was bending every effort
to effect compromise on Article X
that would lead to ratification.
Senator Hitchcock asked for a
showdown on Article X today. This
was refused by republican senators,
including the mild reservationists," +"
who are working with Simmons to
effect change in the Lodge reser-
walton to Article X that will pre-
vent the defeat of the treaty for the
second time.
Bryan Men Fight.
A test of strength was imminent
today between administration sena-
tors standing by the president and
the growing number of democratic
senator's sharing William j. Bryan's
opinion that to make Article X a
campaign issue would be suicidal for
the democratic party.
Bryan is expected to reappear in
the senate lobbies and anterooms be-
fore the last ditch of the treaty fight
is reached. He hopes to fan the hot
resentment among many democratic
senators at the presidents insistence
upon injecting the league of nations
into the campaign.
Bryan wants the treaty ratified.
He thinks the will of a senate ma
jority should prevail.
=, Hitchcock apparently agrees with
the president that the treaty fight
should be carried into the campaign.
There are many democratic sem
ators who do not share either the
presidents or Hitchcock's views. A
number of them are in open rebel
lion against the president and Hitch
cock.
The Lodge reservation to Article
X will, however, muster more demo-
cratic votes this time than it did in
November when the democratic side
blocked ratification. Even Hitchcock
comedies this. But not enough dem
\ocratic senator's will vote for it and
ratification.
The compromise suggested by Sen
ator Watson. republican, of Indiana,
which the republicans withdrew yes
terday was being used again, today
as basis for the renewed negotia-
tions, IT was said.
Il shall continue the fight for rati-
hcation until the last vote is taken"
Simmons said.
Senator Ashurst democrat, of Ari-
zona, scored politicians in and out
of the senate" who. he declared. "are
using the treaty as a screen to keep
themselves from having to face the
real issues"

had quit a former sweetheart about
three months ago in,favpr of Wood
ward, and of how after a brief court
ship they were married on Sept. 20.
The former sweetheart, she said,
was then at Roundup and after hear
ing of her marriage to Woodward
came to Butte and made threats
against both her and Woodward. j
Mrs Woodward said her husband
then purchased a revolver, and that
he had frequently frightened her by
flourishing it in their home. She
said that yesterday morning she and
her husband had quarrelled and that
he left the house, returning later
with some liquor. which he drank.
When he started to again leave the
house she said she attempted to take
the gun from his pocket and that in
the, struggle which ensued, it was
discharged.
After the shooting. she said, her
husband declared the wound didn't
amount to anything, and summoning
taxicab, entered unassisted and
ordered himself driven to St. James
hospital.
Mrs. Woodward is 1a years of age,
