No man could sty at ten _o'clock how great had been the nation’s an- swer. Apparertly it was overwhelm- ing beyond the most sanguine hopes of treasury oflicials, though not one of the twelve federal reserve banks could hazard more than an estimate of its total. Multitude of Small Investors. In the country's ringing answer to the call, the dominant note was the voice of the smell investor. His mon-y talked this last day of the campaign in eloquent terms. The hope for a wide- =pread response: of the average man with the average income was more than realized in multitudes that flock- ed4 to the banks toda: It appear-d tonight that all previous estimates had gone by the boards and that nearly three million men and womcn had bought their bonds. In the absence of official figures to- night officials hesitated to predict how ' high the total would sear, It mounted every hour to new heizhtg and as- sumed such proportions that"thére was an appareng.inclinati acgept with some sllowantes the rody estimates of local Liberty loan committees as to the totals of their districts. At the treasury a note of cons rvai- tism was sounded conc>rning these estimates. It was fizsured that tre committees, flushed with success, might be over-optimistic and ther~ was a manifested unwillingness to ac- cept as final any esumates until ver- ifled by actual tabulations. Estimates irom the twelve reserve districts, some of them unofficial, hut Mmostly from local loan committee, in- dicated Jate tonight that the subs rip- tions might reach the total cf <2.- £62,800,000. These estimates, v h were not vouched for authorit "tiv> at the treasury department, were as follows Amounts From Various Districts.

Kansas City $90,000,000, estimated by the federal reserve bank. Minneapolis $62,000,000, estimated’ by Governor Wold of the federal reserve bank. Dallas, $47,000,000, estimated by the federal reserve bank, Tabulations at 4.30 p. m. were $150,000,000. On the face of these estimates it ap- peared unlikely that the total would fail below $2,600,000,000. It also ap- peared that three reserve districts, At- lanta, Kansas City and Minneapolis, would fall below their minimum allot- ment. Statement by Secretary McAdoo. Secretary McAdoo announced the over-subscription shortly after the closing of the books in the east. “The Liberty. loan has been over- subscribed,” he said. “It is impossi- ble to state the amount of the over- subscription, but the exact figures will De given out as rapldly as the returns are received at the treasury depart- ment. “I desire to express my deep appre. ciation of the efficient and patrio service you have rendered in connec- tion with the Liberty loan, the success’ of which has been 'so 'striking and pleasing to the country,” Seeretary Mc- Adoo tonight telezraphed all reserve banks. “Will you not convey to the Liberty loan committees of your dis- trict, to the banks and to all other or- ganizations which have cooperat:d with vou in this great Liberty. loan en- terprise the assurance of my warm ap- preciation as well as my cordial thanks.

Washington, June 15.—After anoth- day of fruitless discussion of the empowering the president to order priority in railroad transporta- tion administration leaders tonight planned to force a final vote on the measure tomorrow if possible. Senator Newlands gave notice that er bill he would move tomorrow to fixe a time for a final vote upon the bill. He also decided to withdraw modifying amendments, to which many oppents had assented and to stand upon the original administration draft with a single modification denying damages to railroads for losses due to prior rout- ings ordered. The amendments agreed to in con- ference yesterday would have siven the Interstate Commerce Commission instead of the president the power to determine prior routings of all but military forces and supplies. Admin- istration senators refused to accept the compromise. Amendments to be offered tomor- row by the oppision will propose that presidential priority orders be limit- ed to military “necessities” or what the Interstate Commerc Commission or a special board of three members nam- by the president and approved by the senate shall have the power to direct priority. transportation.

RIOT FOLLOWED AN ANTI- CONSCRIPTION MASS MEETING Anger of Crowd Roused by Arrests Made by Guardsmen and Police. New York, June 15.—National guardsmen tried vainly for two hours tonight to disperse a riotous crowd which had assembled around the hall in the East Side in which an anti- conscription mass meeting had been held earlier in the evening. The anger of the crowd was roused because guardsmen and police had seized after the close of the meeting twenty-five men who were suspected of not hav- ing registration cards. Men and wo- men surged around the hall and the troops were almost overwhelrfied. There was an especially angry dem- onstratfén in front of the police sta- tion to which had been taken five of the men detained who had been una- ble to produce registration cards. Not until the guardsmen drew their re- volvers were they able to drive the crowd into side streets. Seven men were arrested by order of a national guard sergeant after a socialist meeting in an uptown hall. Six of them were charged with not having registration cards and the oth- er was ridiculing “The Star Spangled Banner.” GREAT BRITAIN HOLDS ALOOF ON CHINESE QUESTION Unable to Stand for P les Ad- vanced in President Wilson’s Note.

New York, June 15.—Emma Gold- man, editor of “Mother Earth” and Alexander Berkman, editor of “The Blast”, known throughout the United States' as anarchists, were locked up in the Tombs tonight on a complaint charging them with engaging in a conspiracy to induce men of military age not to register under the selective draft law.

The former was smiling when she was led to her cell. She has previously served a term in the city penitentiary for in- citing to riot during the cloak makers’ strike. Berkman was no stranger to prison life as he served fourteen years of a twenty year term for shooting Henry C. Frick. After consultation with their counsel, the anarchists decided not to insist on an immediate arraignment but were promised a hearing tomorrow before a United States commissioner.
