TRUTH TOG :
SCORE POINT
Senate, by Vote of 48 to 40,
Accepts Preamble to
Reservations '
TO FORCE DEADLOCK
Republican^ Won Their First Victory
Through United Party Front?Reed,
Gore and Walsh Vote With Them.
Within four hours .from the time
President Wdlson yesterday personal
ly rallied the Democratic supporters
of the German peace treaty against,
all reservations, the Republican ma-1
jority in the Senate took the first j
step toward adopting the entire series, j
Both sides solidified their lines as ?
thei^ entered upon the final stage of J
the long battle over ratification of |
the world peace pact. The Reublicans j
defeated in every attempt heretofore,
to obtain the adoption of amendments i
because of defections in their ranks, j
won their first victory throujrh united
party front.
?Lacking only the vote of Senator!
Porter J. McCtrmber, of North Dakota ,
they crushed every attempt backed!
,^-by Democratic Senators to modify the |
initial provision of the program of re-[
servations as recommended to the Sen- j
ate by the Republican members of
the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Ultimately they adopted it exactly as
written by a vote of <8 to 40. Sena
tors Reed, Gore and Walsh. Massa
chusetts. Democrats, voted with the
Republicans.
Under the terms of the first para-!
graph, which originally was thj pre
amble of the series of reservations,
the treaty will not be binding upon
the the Unfited States until three of
the four principal associated nations
??Great Britain, France, Japan, and
Italy?have formally accepted the re
servations through diplomatic notes.
Plans made by Democratic leaders
to throw the treaty into a legislative
deadlock in case the resolution of j
ratification with the leading program j
of reservations fails to receive t]>e j
two-thirds vote of the Senate neees-1
sary for its adoption were approved
by President Tyi'lson. ;
^Acceptance of the reservations in
dorsed by" the Republican majority
would be;' equivalent to rejecting the
entire treaty, in the judgment of the j
Chief Executive. ??

Washington, Nov. 8.?Joseph
Horan, of New York, attempted to
join with the United States Senate
yesterday in its debate in the peace
treaty.
"Gentlemen," he cried, rising
' from his seat in the gallery and
drawing from his pocket an Amer
ican flag, <4I want to express"?

I HAASE DIES OF WOUNDS
Independent Scfcfalist Leader Suc
cumbs to Assassin's Bullet
j 'Berlin, Nov. 8.?Hugo Haase,
I president of the Independent So
1 cialist party, died from wounds re
' ceived October 8, when he was
i shot three times when' entering
I the Reichstag building.
| His assailant, an Austrian named
Johann Voss, fired three shots,
wounding Herr Haase in the thigh,
forearm and abdomen. Repeated
operations were performed, 'culmi
nating in the amputation October
27 of his right leg, the bone of |
which had been smashed by the bul
let.
Voss, whom he was prosecuting
on a charge of extortion, was said
to have acted upon personal mo
tives, although there was.a natural
tendency to seek a political back
ground for the deed, since Haase
was about to deliver a sensational
9pecch charging the Government
with encouraging the retention oT
German troops in the Baltic and
with fostering attacks upon radi
cals by "murder bureaus."

WILL PRESS HIS SUIT
Gompers Threatens Grave Labor
Trouble If Drastic Order is Issued
?No Effect Upon Attorney General
The government will proceed today
with its plea to Federal Judge An
derson at Indianapolis, for a manda
tory order which will command the
leaders of the bituminous coal strike
to revoke the call for a walkout of
42.r),000 miners and which permanent
ly will restrain these leaders from
giving aid or encouragement to the
strikers.
The Department of Justice will ask
for a postponement of the hearing,
and will neither offer nor accept a
compromise with the strikers unless
the strike order is first revoked and
thtj net of the United Mine Workers
of America is renounced.
This was the situation following a
day of feverish conferences and futile
efforts to find a middle ground which
might bring to a swift end the paral
ysis of more than three-fifths of the
producing coal fields of the c ?untry.
Three times during the day Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, was closeted with
Attorney-General Palmer, first plead
ing. then demanding that the Gov
ernment not press its petition to the
court for a mandate which summari
ly would cancel the strike order. But
when he had withdrawn from the of
fice of the Attorpey-General at i!.30
la?t nighf, the answer which came to
the public from Mr. Palmer was that
the Government had not relented one
degree.
Gompers, it is believed, warned the
Attorney-General that any drastic ac
tion on the part of the court would
precipitate a graver labor situation
than any which has ever existed in
this country, but such warnings had
no effect whatever upon the Attarney
Gencral. lie is standing pat in his bat
tle against what he believes to be not
only an indefensible, but an unlawful
st rike.
