lntination Made President
May Refuse To Accept
! Any Amendments.
DELIVERY OF RATIFIED 4.
| TREATY MAY Be REFUSED
Situation Holds Prospect OF
United States Being Left
In War State.
By I. Z. Martin.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent,
Washington, Aug. Is. - Intinatior
that President Wilson may refuse to ac
eept as ratification Of the peace
treaty any senate action which provides
either for amendment or reservation was
conveyed to senators today
The president might refuse to deposit
notice Of ratification at Paris on be
half Of the United States if textual
amendments OF reservations as part OF
the resolution Of ratification are made
it was limited. 5
The general opinion among those who
discussed the possibility today was that
such action by the president woulc
throw the treaty back into the senate
The senate could then ratify unquali
ficdly or refuse to take any further ac
tion, causing a deadlock. e
Republican senators said if such s
thing occurred, they would Immediately
propose resolution declaring the wal
with Germany atxau end, md directing
the president tore-establish the consulal
service throughout Germany. Latel
commercial treaties could be made, they
said.
Democratic senators, however, de
clared this course would never be sane
toned either by many senators or b,
the country and expressed the belief
that, in event Of such contingency, the
rcservationist groups would be forced tc
back down and allow the treaty to &c
through. Otherwise, the democrats de
clared, the United States would be ietl
out, while other nations enjoyed the
commercial benefits the treaty would
give them.
Senators recognize that President vii
son has full power to take this course
and precedent to support him. Presi
dent Taft refused to accept senate ac
ton ON an arbitration treaty with Great
Britain which the British government
had accepted as result the treaty fail
ed and has never been revived.
Senatorial discussion of the treaty
probably will not reopen this week un
til the pending oil leasing bill is dis
posed of.

KIDNAPPING SUSPECTS
RETURNED NUMBER Six
Withdrawal Not Influenced By
Protests OF Mexican
Government.

Ell Paso, Texas, Aug. 25.-The ban
dit chase in Mexico by American cav
alrymen and aviators is ended The
United States forces are back at heir
camps on this SIDE of the border to-
day. Withdrawal was effected Sunday
night when further search for bandits
seemed futile.
The American troops during their
six. day stay on Mexican soil killed
five bandits, arrested six other stf
poets and penetrated fifty miles into
eastern Chihuahua. The American cas-
nalties were only a few pack mules
lost over cliffs. Aviators George Rice
and Louis Boquet, missing on a flight
from Maria, were located at Terlinqua,
Texas, where they were forced by a
storm to land.
Colonel George I,anghorne, comman.
der of the Maria border sectors, be-
lieves the expedition was a success. De
signed to, punish the kidnapers of Lieu
tenants Peterson and Davis, the four
troops of the Eighth United States
cavalry "clcaned up the wild Mexi-
can country below the Big Bend and
scattered the ransom gang, killing five
Garranzista troops captured nine other
members Of he band, taking them to
Chihuahua City where their execution
is probable. Jesus Renferio, bandit lead
er, is believed to have made good his
escape.
The cooperation of the Carranzista
forces encountered by the Americans
was particularly pleasing to Colonel
Langhorne. Only once was there
danger Of clash between the two
forces, it is now learned. Twenty Am
erican cavalrymen under Captain Bou-
dinot were surrounded by 100 Carran-
zistas who threatened at first to de-
tain them for further orders from Gen
eral Pruneda at Ojinaga, Mexico. The
Mexicans shortly afterward permitted
the American troops to proceed.
Conditions were again normal along
the border today. The excitement here
over the crossing into Mexico Satur-
day by two troops of the Seventh cav
airy, near Fabens, has subsidized. Their
withdrawal was carried out Saturday
evening after failure to pick mp the
trail of the Mexican cattle raiders.

San Francisco, Aug. 3d. United
Press. Under the supervision of D. Z
Swain, president of the district council
of electrical workers, the connt was
started today of the referendum vote
on the settlement that brought the re,
cent Pacific coast telephone strike to u
close.
The vote in at least four cities--San
Francisco, Sacramento, Los Ange.. q,
and Portland--is known to be against
accepting the settlement, reports from
other cities, including San Jose, indi
cate increasing dissatisfaction with the
arrangement under which the operators
are now. working.
The result of the vote probably will
not be announced before Tuesday as the
counting is difficult task, and some Of
the returns may have been delayed
Swain said he did not know whether the
entire vote had been received.
Although another coast-wide phone
strike may result if this vote is unfay-
orable to the settlement, the impression
that a strike is now impending is erron-
eous.
Long negotiations both with thc union
and with the Pacific Tclephone2A Tele-
graph company will result if this vote
turns down the settlement, Swain said.
"The first move would be to call in
committee representing the whole dis
trict, to draw up another proposal, = he
said "This would comprise a new wage
and condition conditions proposal would
then be Submitted to the company 1T
might be accepted. If it should be re-
iected, another referendum veto would
be necessary to decide whether the oper-
ators wished to strike again.
Postmaster General Burelson would
not figure in these new negotiations,
said Swain. 81 personally have seen
his notice submitted to the railroad com
mission to the effect that he is not now
responsible for the telephone systems on
the coast.
Since the present settlement was ac-
tcepted by the union IS international Of
ficers, there have been many expressions
of satisfaction up and down the
coast. Operators have charged the in
ternational Officers were not correctly
informed of conditions. They have
charged also that the telephone hasdis-
crimi 1ated in many cities against those
who struck.

that the fight must be made ON the
principle that in order to assure carly
restoration Of peace, the treaty should
be ratified without amendments Or res
cryations.
II is know that many diplomats con
nectcd with the peace conference feel
that the president haad would be
strengthened, should the actual text Of
the Japanese agreement be published.
For that reason, the previous attempt to
smoke out the Japanese had some sup
port from other powers, which are anxi-
ousto see early American ratification Of

A renewed attempt might be expected
to get the same support.

For Los Angeles If Workers
Demands Not Granted Soon

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 25.--( United

Los Angeles today say general strike
is imminent here if the present street
ear and railroad strike is not settled

hundred boilermakers walked out at the
Southern Pacific yards this morning.
The walkout of these men brings the
total number concerned in the Pacific
Electric, Los Angeles railway and rail-
road strikes up to $4,000 in this city.
Several unions connected with trans
portation are understood to have taken
secret vote for strike in sympathy
with the striking streetcar men Of the
Los Angeles railway and Pacific Elec-
tric company.
With Los Angeles almost completely
isolated, much concern is felt over
Mayor Snyder's request for increased
conservation Of food.
Packers Of this city contend the pres
ent supply of meat will not last three
days.
Gasoline is being continually rushed
from refinericst to this city by motor
truck in an effort to supply the demand
caused by increased use of automobiles.
Some gasoline supply stations received
no gas yesterday.
Freight cars continue to jam local
freight yards.
All trains between Los Angeles and
San Diego were cancelled yesterday.
Five thousand persons were marooned
in Venice last night when the last Pa
cific Electric train pulled out crowded
to the roof.
Only one trsin left Los Angeles yes
to-day and that was with the under
standing by passengers that their desti-
nation was not guaranteed.
