Ry the Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 Fall, Republican, plying in the Senate today to an ad- .— Senator of New Mexico, re- dress yesterday by Senator McCum- Republican, of North criticising the Foreign Committee for tung provisions of the peace treaty, said Senators who had not read the treaty and did not know its contents | were the most insistent that it be ratified immediately. Soon after he began speaking. Sen- ator Fall was interrupted by Senator , Nelson, Republican, of Minnesota. who asked what he proposed to do with the treaty. “There is no use attempting to chop this treaty into mincemeat,” deciared the Minnesota Senator. ‘‘If that is the Senator's object, he will find that mincemeat will be wiped aside by the Senate.”’ Nelson “Youngest Man Here.” Senator Fall said he would not en- ter into a discussion with Senator Nelson in age, whereupon Senator Nelson joined: “You needn't consider my age. but just consider me the youngest man in the Senate. I am neither in my second childhood in this matter nor in the Mexican matter.”’ Later, interruptions of Senator Fall's speech by Senator McCumber led to one_of the bitterest exchanges since the treaty debate began. Fac- ing each other at a distance of a | few feet. the two Senators raised their voices and pounded their desks | to emphasize their declarations. When Senator Fall said that Sen- | ator McCumber had defended on the | ground of justice the award to Ja- pan of “goods stolen by Germany from China,” McCumber sprang to) his feet and’ shouted: “] deny that Statement in toto as | being absolutely and unqualifiedly | false. I have never taken’ the ground that the act of Germany was | fair and moral.” “You did defend the provision,” retorted Senator “and claimed that Japan had right to take Shantung.” “And she derived that right under | na solemn pledge to return it, but you | leave that out of your statement,” rejoined. Senator McCumber. Senator McCumber said that as Senator Fall was prescribing for the | conduct of Senators, he should take some of his owh medicine, adding, | “and you will take it before you are through.” Referring to statements by Sena-— tor McCumber that the committee | had intended to slap Japan in the. face and make trouble by the Shan- | tung amendment, Senator Fall said | he was “weary” of having his mo- | tives impugned and of the efforts of | some to make the nation take treaty “‘just as it came from the White House typewriter, with no) more consideration for the Ameri- | can people than was shown the Ger- | mans when they signed at the point | of the bayonet.” “If I err,” he continued, “I err sin-— cerely.

Most of California was without rail transportation today as a result of the strike which was followed by orders here and in the East against selling tickets to or through the troubled areas. Mainly; the ves.

Railroad administration officials here admit themselves unable to move trains and have declared thev must remain so until some change takes place in the situation. Virtual- ly similar conditions prevail at Los Angeles. Mail is accumulating at both cities. as well as in many small- er places, some of which, particular- ly in Southern California, have had no rail communication for several days.
