Amicable Agreement in

Probable.
LEADERS ADOPT
TENTATIVE PLAN

Offices Will Be Confirmed
Where Both Senators Are
Democrats, but Others Will
Not Be Opposed-South
Left to New Regime.

Washington. December 11.-An ami
cable agreement in the Senate over
the confirmation OF President Tafts
nominations for Federal positions
seemed probable to-day when, after a
number OF informal conferences among
leaders. a tentative plan was agreed
upon.
Under the arrangement proposed
no nominations for Federal Offices
win be confirmed in States where both
Senators are Democrats. but in all
States where the Senators are Repub-
licans there is no opposition TO con-
nrmation OF these places.
II was understood that many Demo
cratic leaders in the Senate would be
satisfied If the appointments IN South
ern States were not put through
An effort is being made to settle the
question OF President pro tenpcre of

Galnnger to serve until March 4. SEN
ator Bacon would become permanent

Senate leaders were not sure, how
over. that this arrangement would go
through. but it is being discussed.

Senators has been called for to-mor-
row to discuss prospective action over

LITTLE CREOENCE
PLACED IN RUMOR
Martins Friends Do Not Believe
He Will Be Deposed as
Senate Leader.
SOME FEELING ADMITTED
But 1t Is No More Acute Now
Than 1t Has Been
for Years.
Especial to The Times Dispatch.

Washington, December 11.-Wash-
incton papers to-day carry sensational
stories showing how Thomas 5. Martin,
OF Virginia. is TO be deposed as Demo-
cratic Senate leader; how he is 10 be
put aside by the progressive or rad
lcar' element among the Democrats in
the Senate after the reorganization in
March. and how the whole thing is
already cut and dried 70 put him on
the political shelf with the coming IN
OF the new administration.
Although the story was printed here
again to-day. Il IL not new. Since the
election last month. when il was found
that the Democrats would control the
Senate after March {. all kind Of trou-
BILE has been predicted. 1t has been
said. and this with apparently some
foundation. that. headed by Senator
Gore. who !. close TO President Elect

assume such Roadway by the time OF
the reorganization that Senators Mar
tin Tiilman. Bacon. Simmons and one
or two OF the other older Leaders in
the upper house. would be forced TO
give way TO the radicals" or pro
gressives."
Efforts made to ascertain what there
is in such a story show that there
is some feeling against n few Of the
older senators because OF an inclina-
ton to hold TO more than one impOr-
tant committee place. and that some
OF the newer and younger members %
the Senate believe that the older ones
will have monopoly on the good as
SiEnmcnts There is no doubt that
the older men will get the best pls ices
because OF seniority. and that the
newer and younger members Will have

The presence OF daudruff and fall
ing hair conveys a warning which
It is best to heed. At first the loss
OF hair may be SO slight as to be
hardly noticeable. But no matter
how little may be the fail each day
Il is working toward the same and
inevitable result, aud that is total
badness.
You may have hair enough today.
but how about tomorrow and the day
after? Dandruff and falling hair
mean badness sooner or later and
demand the immediate regular and
energetic use OF Newbro's Herpicide.
This is the original remedy that kills
the dandrufi germ and prevents the
hair from falling out. II keeps the
scalp free from dirt and dandruff
and allows the hair TO grow abun-
dainty and naturally. BY this means
and this means alone can total in
durable badness be prevented.
Herpicide does not stain or dye and
