PLANS OUSTING OF INSURGENT Dignified Senate Forgives Inaugural A SMOKE CLEARS AWAY AND ALL IS WELL AGAIN Hale Takes Blame For Playing Senator Copeland Assails Warren's Appointment NOT ASSIGNED TO COMMETTE Insecurity Is Common Enemy Of Europe, Says Chamberlain In Speech (By Associated Press.) Washington, Mar. and resentful of the way Vice President Dawes cut corners off its time honored customs, the senate set out today to teach its new presiding officer a lesson in senatorial dignity. There were whispered stories of jAhs for him and "flipping his wings before he goes Put a recess during which some senators cooled off and a spirit cf i reasonableness got in its work on both sides of the chamber, resulted in what was covertly advertised as to be a sound spanking being re- dueed to a slap on the wrist. Whether the proceedings end ed the business cr only prefaced more to come later was not made apparent.

Senate Not So Peeved. If developed that the senate was not so offended because the new vice president in bis inaugural address pounded his fist-on the table, shook his finger and shouted wdien ha declared for changing the rules fol'cutlaw the one-man filibuster. Tile feeling of dignity was particularly outraged, it developed, first, bicause the vice president had interrupted the ceremony of new senators signing the roster in the presence of their colleagues, and second, because ho had not returned to the senate chamber to preside the inauguration of President Coclidge outside. Dawes Was Misinformed. The second cause for complaint was speedily removed when Senator Hale, of Maine, one of the members of the inaugural committee, took it all on himself and explained that he had erroneously told the vice president it was not necessary for him to return.

The bruise from the first blow' was assuaged by the unanimous adoption of a resolution providing teh this oue time only, it should nS considered for the purpose of the permanent record that the new senators signed the roster in the fashion the senate rules prescribed a'though they did not do so. Mr. Dawes suggested to the senate that the ceremony be performed over again in the regular way. but Senator Curtis, the Republican leader, replied that the adoption of the resolution, proposed bv Senator Reed. Democrat.

The troubled waters having been much calmed by that time, Senator' Reed did net press his threat to force a reading of the journal of the inauguration day proceedings! end thus disclose that the official record had been made to show hat was supposed to have oc- irrod rafher fhan what really did take place. What had threatened to be a spectacle with most of the ninety- six senators hazing a newr presiding officer came to a peaceful end with a brief executive session and adjournment for the day. Just before the senate Quit, how-1 ever, Senator Underwood, Demo-J erat, Alabama, reintroduced his resolution for amendment of the senate rules and it referred to the rules committee. Mr.

Dawes declined to make any comment about it, hut it became known that he was pleased that a Democratic senator had followed up his declaration for a change by making a proposal to provide one. the formality of poti- hwig President Coolldge that the senate was organized for business, the senate adjourned for the day what had been advertised by good many on the inside as sure be a disolav of fireworks in which the vice president was going to get an initial dose of senatorial gunpowder, had pretty much fizzled out. Vice President Dawes, when asked for his comment, replied that it was entirely out of place for him tc comment on proceedings of the senate. Live Session in House of 'Commons on Foreign Relations. (By The Aimehted London, Mar.

Insecurity is the common enemy of Europe, Austin Chamberlain, secretary of foreign affairs, told the house of mens today in a speech discussing the efforts to secure some pact of security for France to replace the proposed pact between the United States, Great Britain and France. His address, by the suspension of David Kirkwood, did little to clear up the obscurity in which negotiations have been cloaked. Discusses French Attitude, After discussing the attitude of France, Mr. Chamberlain turned to the German proposals, explaining that they had first reached him a few weATts back in a most confidential and secret manner. declined to receive he went on.

the implied pledge that I was not to discuss them with our Kirkwood Susoended. It was at this point that David Kirkwood, Scotch labor member, caused a stormy interruption and temporary suspension of the proceedings. It is very unusual in the British parliament to invoke the aid of the speaker, but Mr. Kirkwood's interruption was persistent, and he was suspended by a vote of the house. Ramsay MecDonald, the labor leader, and all the members of his party quitted the house as a protest against the treatment of Mr.

Kirkwood after a lively altercation between the former labor premier and the speaker regarding tile exact rules governing the suspension of a member. The house resuming its business as a committee of supply, Mr. Chamberlain continued his speech. He consented to consider the proposals, he said, only when the German ambassador assured him it was his intention to communicate them to all the allies. Even now it was inadvisable to go into fuller details before there had been a much more complete discussion between the allies of happy voluntary move on the part of Urges Help to Others.

In conclusion the foreign secretary strongly emphasized that Great close proximity to the European cont'mnt made it impossible that sho should turn a deaf ear to any European appeal for help or exercise a short sighted and policy of isolation. Mr. suspension endures for the remainder of the season unless he apologizes, which it is asserted he will not do. It is believed, however, that the house may rescind the vote of suspension.
