Sherman Attacks Taft. Before Senator Reed spoke state ments of former President Taft in support of4the league caused a live ly clash, in which Mr. Taft was criticised by Senators Ashurst of Arizona, McKellar of Tennessee and Thomas of Colorado, demo crats. Mr. Sherman declared Mr. Taft's activities were "not only un dignified, but grossly partisan and unfair." The democratic senators charged Mr. Sherman with having reflected upon the former president, whom they highly praised. Sena tor Thomas declared, however, that he did not agree with Mr. Taft's position on the league. Free American government, Sen ator Reed asserted, would through the league be largely displaced by a government controlled by "Euro pean monarchs and Asratic despots."

YOUTH, 17110 SHOT CLEL1EIICEAU, IS FEEBLE HIDED Head Was Turned by Reading of Too Much Anarchist Literature; Relatives Died in Asylums. BY NABOTH HEDIN Staff Correspondent of Universal Service. (Special Cable Dispatch.) Paris. Feb. 22. Who is Emile Cottin, the youthful anarchist, who shot Georges Clemenceait, premier of France? Universal Service is enabled to night to give some details of his personality and life. He is a weak minded laborer whose head was turned by too much reading of an archist literature. His mother af firms that his great grandmother and cousin died in asylums for the insane. Drafted in 1916. Cottin's father himself, it is learn ed, was affiliated with labor unions at Compiegne, where his family lived until the city was bombarded last spring. However, it is not at home that the yTfttng radical appears to have imbibed his extremist views. When the war started young Emile, though only 18, tried to enlist but his constitution was found too feeble. He remained with his fam ily at Compiegne until he was draft ed with the regular class of 1916. During the aerial bombardment of Compiegne in August, 1915, young Cottin rescued a woman neighbor named Madame Lardier, whose leg had been cut off by a splinter from an aerial torpedo. Discharged From Army. When drafted he spent three months with the Ninth regiment of engineers near Angers and while there he jumped '"to the Loire one day to rescue a drowning comrade, but failed. He was discharged from the army because of heart disease. He returned to Compiegne, where the continued German bombard ments induced his mother to send him to Lyons, center of a consider able anarchistic propaganda. There he worked in an aviation factory un til 1917. H neither drank nor smoked. But he spent almost all his leisure time reading, often all night long. After that he took up the carpenter trade in a shop on the Rue Antoine, the center of the Par isian furniture industry.
