PRESIDENT AND
LEADERS REACH
WAR AGREEMENT
Early Compromise on "More
Power Bill Looms in Sight;
Will Redraft the
Measure.
(By Associated Press.t

Washington, Feb. 20.--Early com
promise in the senate on legislation
for further coordination and reor-
ganization OF the governments war
making agencies appeared in sight to-
night as result of negotiations be-
tween democratic and republican lead
ers for revision Of the Overman bill,
which would give President Wilson
greater freedom OF action.
Amendments virtually agreed upon
promise largely to harmonic differ
ences, allay republican opposition and
to obtain supportlin the senate from
all sides except the group of senator's
unalterably insisting upon the mill
tary committees bills for a war cab
met and munitions director.
President Wilson was SAT-, to have
no objection to the changes proposed
and tomorrow it is expected that the
senate judiciary subcommittee, head
ed by Senator Overman, will redraft
| the bilk
As it is proposed to amend the
measure the president would not be
given any new substantive authority
and the provisions in the Over
man bill which republicans have re-
garded as comforting new and too
broad powers upon the president are
| to be eliminated. The amendments,
however, would retain the principal
provisions authorizing the president
| to transfer departments, bureaus,
commissions and other agencies aud
their personnel as he might deem nee
essary to effect greater coordination
and ehciency in prosecuting the war.
Curtail Power to Wilson,
It is proposed to strike out a,
clause giving the president power TO
employ by executive order any sddi-
tional agency or agencies ard to vest
ftherein The performance Of such funcr
tions as he may deem appropriate
thereby limiting the exeeasiue's. au-
thority TO changes in existing ,agen-.
cies and without power to create any
new ones. g.. H..
Another compromise amendment
proposed would allow the president; to
transfer appropriations made; by con-
gress from one federal agency to an
| other; but only for use in connection
with the purpose specifically author
lied by congress in. making the appro-
pristion. r.. ,t ..
Senator Overman said tonight that
as the bill is becoming better under
stood, opposition is, waning and con
fidently predicted that with the
| changes proposed the bill will be re-
| ported out probably next week and
obtain substantial majority in the
senate. @Hs ...,
When the measure was first sent to
lthe capitol by the president, virtually
as a substitute for the war cabinet and
munitions minister bills, there were
general predictions that it would die

CLARK MADE CHARGE.
In his summary Of the case, Attor-
ney Howell emphasized the point that
under the regime Of Mike Clark as
sheriff, such places as the Lakeside
and Riverside have been closed, and
the evidence was shown that Lynch
should not be allowed to continue
to wear the robes of public Office and
that his official life has discredited
him." 49,
SOUGHT SCISSOR HOLD.
Howell explained the necessity OF
his side. being required to go to the
sources itqdid for evidence, He diss
abused the minds of the iurymen that
this suit is one in which Dennison
or others are lighting Lynch, but that
it is a case of the sheriff against
Lynch tried to get scissors hold
on sCiarks manhood, but failed"
shouted Howell to the jury. ID
"The defense would have you men
of the jury believe that we are try
ing to disturb the peace@of the end
Of a perfect day for Johnny" was
another remarksb by the attorney.
He asked the jurors whether they
would rather, raise their daughters and
sisters underft the McShane, or under
the administration of Mike Clark
"who said he would close. the joints
and has kept his word, notwithstand-
ing the blandishments of Lynch"
The gist OF Attorney HowelPs ar
gument follows:

"Our attitude as attorneys for Clark
in this case is that lawyer who will
defend any member of that gang is
as corrupt as they, are il. ile does II

NO CAUSE FOR WAR.


Vienna papers say Austria has no
cause to make wal, on Russia and the
socialist organ there calls on the gov
ernment to announce that hostilities
with Russia are over.
They say nothing, however, against
the German terms to Russia, which in
clude the surrender of Poland, Lithu-
ania, Riga and Moon island and the
payment of a tribute Of $4,000, ,000, 900.
Although quite prepared to advance
against dcfcnseless Russia, the Ger
mans have made no offensive move
ment on the western front.
When the Brest-Litovsk negotia-
tons closed, all talk in Germany was
of peace.,ssThe school children were
given q holiday and JOY bells were

The public apparently did not dis
criminatc between peace with the
Ukraine and with Great Russia, and
acclaimed it as a general peace with
Russia.
