a result of a partial agreement reached

BRYAN'S TREATIES TO
STIR BIG SENATE ROW
Secretary to Submit Colombian
and Nicaraguan Compacts
in a Few Days.

WASH INGroN, June 1s.--The Wilson
Administration In about to precipitate
another big contest in the Senate. Sec
rotary OF State Bryan announced to-day
that he will send to the Senate within
Jews days the new treaty with Colom-
bia and also the treaty with Nicaragua.
The Colombian treaty alone will stir up
row that may equal even the Panama
Canal tolls controversy and the. treaty
with Nicaragua also Is certain to add to
the gayety OF the occasion.
Tho treaty with Colombia contains the
so-called apology by the United states
on account OF the Panama revolution
and also a provision for the payment or
SIS, 900, 900 to the Central American re-
public Republicans in Congress are pre-
pairing to wage a determined fight against
this treaty.
Col. Roosevelt also may be counted on
10 toln in the uproai. He regards the
treaty as un-American and as direct re-
pudlation of one OF the acts OF his Ad-
ministration He IL expected 10 carry on
determined campaign against this treaty
after his return to the United states.
The Nicaraguan treaty stirred up much
talk and opposition last summer when
Secretary Bryan first introduced II. The
treaty sought to apply to Nicaragua what
was equivalent to the Plat amendment in
the treaty with Cuba.

tons are that he has been working

to be h representative of a dress
goods concern and stated that he had
been sent by their father to take meas
urements for dresses. He told the girls
that his firm was so particular in its
work that it was necessary to take
plaster casts of prospective customers.
In the process of making these alleged
casts he is alleged to have committed

No Clue To Murderers.

Roscoe, S. D., Aug. 19.-Tha dead
body of John ~Pranauskar. a Bulgarian,
aged 30 to So years. was found yes-
terday beside a barley stack near this

robbed and murdered. A bullet had en-
tered his head at one y and emerged
at the back of the head. He carried
a large grip, which had been ran
sacked, n also had a money belt
about his body which had been slashed
open. 1t is supposed that the muir
dered man had been doing the hobo
stunt with some companions, that the
others a discovered he was carrying
money, and that they conspired to Kill
and rob him. The body evidently had
lain in the field several days before
being found.
Although the case seemed SO plainly
one Of robbery, those who examined
the body found 81 cents in the trous-
ers pockets. A time book carried by
~Pranauskar indicated that he had been
working for the Milwaukee railroad at

CENSORSHIP Plan
Meets DIFFICULTY
Wireless Messages Hard To
Intercept Because Of Relay
Possibilities.

Washington, Aug. 1s.-President Will

and cable messages out of the United
States to the nations involved in the
European war. He consulted today
with department of justice officials and
with International law experts on the
subject.
The president told callers today that
the chief difficulty is that cables can
deliver messages only on this side or
the other side of the ocean. while the
chief sphere of the wireless is in mid
Atlantic.
Replying to a suggestion that it would
be easy for Great Britain to send from
the United States to Canada and send
then across the Atlantic, the president
said the practical difficulties of cen
sorship to Canada were also unsur-
mOuutablo.
