Running Debate About the
Presidents Terms Went
on Today.

AsHNGToN, Dec. ACTION on the
resolution Of Senator Gummins, OF
Iowa, Republican, proposing that a
Senate committee be sent to Paris
for the peacs conference, was post
poned until tomorrow by the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee today,
after an executive session to discuss
the resolution and hear Senator Cum
minis In It's behalf.
Senator Frelinghuys said the
Presidents II principles were open to
various interpretations and added:
The. PRESIDENT should not on BEHALF
OF the American public make radical
proposals until he Is sure that they
are endorsed by the people"
Senator Walsh, OF Montana, Demo
crat, declared that lack OF criticism,
until recently, OF the Presidents II
terms; had justified general belief In
their acceptablity. Senators Knox
of Pennsylvania, and Poindexter OF
Washington, Republicans, SHARPLY dis
scented.
During the debate Senator Borah. OF
idaho. Republican. introduced res0-
luton providing for publication OF the
peace terms as soon as agreed on,
and for open discussion during con-
sideration OF the treaty in the Senate.

was committed In Harrison county, a
warrant had been obtained from there
several days ago. The warrant was
ready but one. of the Officers had TO
hurry to Justice Conaway's house last
night to get it o-K-ed.
In the meantime Frazier had left
the hospital and gone to his LAWYER
whom he was consulting regarding his
best move. A phone call from Sher-
III Glover asking that he appear at
once at the shertf's office, brought
the response that he could not be ar
