Sovereignty, Says Reed;
Senators Clash Over -Taft's
Utterances.
Washington, Feb. 22. The sen
ate will debate the proposed league
of nations almost continuously un
til final adjournment March 4.
, Senators began announcing their
intention to speak immediately after
Senator Reed of Missouri, demo
crat, had concluded a two-hour ad
dress today in which he attacked
the league's constiution, declaring
r it meant abdication of American
sovereignty, violated the federal
constitution, and would involve the
United State? in foreign entangle
ments. Senator Lewis of Illinois, the
democratic whip, will reply Monday
to Senators Poindexter and Borah
with a defense of President Wil
son's stand on the league, and ii
was indicated other senators, not
members of the foreign relations
committee, would express their
views in advance of the White
House conference Wednesday
night.
Lodge and Knox To Speak.
Senator Lodge, the republican
leader, and Senator Knox of Penn
sylvania, both members of the for
eign relations committee, gave no
tice that they would speak after
they had heard the president, Sen
ator Lodge on Friday and Senator
Knox Saturday.
Senator Owen of Oklahoma, dem
ocrat, announced that he would
speak Wednesday, while Senator
Hitchcock, of Nebraska, chairman of
the foreigii relations committee, will
defer his address until the end oi
the week.
On the anniversary of Washing
ton's birth. Senator Reed took the
first president's admonition against
"entangling European alliances," as
the main theme of his address
When Washington's farewell ad
dress was read in the house, repub
lican members and a number of
democrats joined in applausing ref
erences to America's foreign pol
icy. 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.

Right of Liberty Emphasized
by Very Rev. Peter Ma
gennis in Convention
at Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Feb. 22.lt right
of the Irish to liberty was empha
sized by the Very Rev. Feter E.
Magennis of New York, president
of the Friends of Irish Freedom, in
an address at the opening today of
the convention of the Irish race.
The purpose of the convention is
to demand for Ireland the right of
self-determination, such as has been
given to Poland, Czecho-Slovakia
and other small nations. It will ad
journ tomorrow.
Dr. Magennis, who is assistant
general of the Carmelite order, said:
"The work before the convention
of the Irish race is of supreme im
portance. Every day, every hour,
nay, every moment, must be offered
upon the altar of that country's
freedom. Outside Ireland 'itself the
solution of the problem that is so
near to Our heart lies in America.
Work Before Convention.
"The all-important work of this
convention is to ascertain did
America turn away from her pros
perous career and direct her steps
to blood-stained fields of Europe to
the end that nations should be free
and that the world shall be safe for
democracy? Did the voice of our
great president ring true, or did it
ring with doubtful tone, when he
told the listening world the princi
ples that have made America the
nrat and prosperous ,land she un
doubtedly is?
"We have wept enough for Ire
land, we have glorified sufficiently
in Ireland, now our duty is to work
for Ireland, and to work in such a
way ,that the world shall under
stand that our work is the work of
men' who could die for Ireland."

Withdrawal of Representative
Fess Simplifies Matters;
Backers of Mann Will
Not Concede Defeat.
By a Staff Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 22. The
withdrawal of Representative Fess
as a candidate for speaker in the
66th congress practically insures the
selection of Representative Gillett of
Massachusetts although the sup
porters of Congressman Mann do
not concede the defeat of their
candidate by any means.
Representative Madden of Illinois,
who is looked upon as the leader
of the Mann forces, said today that
Mr. Mann would not withdraw as
has been rumored in the corridors
of the house today, but on the con
trary would be, presented to the con
ference of republicans on Thursday
next, as a candidate for the highest
office in the gift of the house.
The program of procedure as pre
sented by the Mann people to the
Gillett leaders would be adopted
with reference to the office of the
house and the committee chairman
