OPPOSES RESERVATIONS.

WASHINGTON, July 25-Any res
ervations in Senate ratification of the
peace treaty would reopen the whole
field of negotiation, encourage other
nations to make reservations, and re-
new 1nternationa dissension, de-
clared Senator Pittman of Nevada, a
Democratic member of the foreign re-
latiOns committee, in an address today
in the Senate.
The speaker cited the Spanish treaty
of 1919, to which the Senate attached
reservation as to Papal claims in
Florida, and said that although the
Spanish government attached the
same reservation, the treaty had to be
ratified a second time because the
two stipulations were differently
worded. He pointed out that the SUI
preme court later had held this res
ervation to be "a part of the treaty"
and that the same court had held of
the treaty with Spain that "in its es-
sence it is a contract"
Effect on League.
ut is immaterial" continued Sena-
| tor Pittman whether the Senate con-
siders the reservation as changing the
treaty or not. for that is a question
under the law of contracts that the
other party has an equal right to de-
termine. 1t is immaterial whether
the change be accomplished in the
body of the treaty or by reservations
in the resolution approving the treaty
or by interpretative clauses annexed
to the treaty. The words in con-
tract are of as much Importance to
the contracting parties as the agree
ment itself, and the words once
agreed upon cannot be changed with
out the consent of each of the par
ties to be bound by the contract
Are we justified in assuming that
other parliaments and governments
will accept without further interpre-
tations or definitions of the articles
of the covenant as affecting our own
obTigations?"

again insist upon reservations in the

NO CLUE IN SEARCH
FOR ANDERSON, SAY
MUNCIE OFFICIALS

Police officials at Muncie are still
without any definite clue as to the
whereabouts of William Anderson,
confessed murderer, who escaped from
the Delaware county jail Wednesday
night and is still at large.
The only report brought to police
headquarters there that the police
have been able to work on Is that
man answering the description OF the
murderer was seen in the eastern part
of the city late Thursday night.
Muncie officials are Of the opinion
that Anderson Is still near the city,
and probably in hiding with friends.
According to the physician who at
tended him while at the county Jail, 1t
would be impossible for him to make
any great effort to leave, owing to his
physical condition as a result of be-
ing shot when arrested before.
The man seen Thursday night cor
responded to Anderson in every de-
tail, and his right arm was hanging
Imply at his side. and did not swing
as he walked. Police were unable to
trace this man. or to find him al any
time after he was seen.
People of Delaware county are gen
orally of the opinion that the county
sheriff, in whose custody Anderson
had been placed. was negligent in the
discharge of his duties, according tc
Muncie newspapers.
An investigation made in an effort
to find out how Anderson made his
escape revealed the fact that the sher
IF was very lenient in handling the
prisoners and allowed them to roam
around the corridor of the Jail out
side their cells. 1t is not known here
whether an official investigation of
the charge of negligence against the
sheriff will be made or not.

WILSON Will

TREATY TILL
END OF TOUR
Defensive Treaty Text Will
Not be Presented Until Au-
gust Prepares Informa-
ton of Peace Work.
CONFERENCE TO HALT
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 25.-President
Wilson does not now plan to present
the defensive treaty with France to
the senate until after he returns from
his tour of the country. This state
ment was made today at the white
house.
When the president presents the
treaty he will accompany it with an
explanatory address to the senate. No
statements were made at the white
house with regard to charges in the
senate yesterday that the president
had viola ted a section of the treaty
by not presenting it simultaneously
with the treaty of Versailles.
There seemed to be some doubt at
the white house today whether all Re-
publican senators would be invited to
confer with the president 1t had
been understood that all would be in
v1ted, but no further appointments had
been made today and so far as could
be learned Senator Warren of Wyo-
ming and one or two other senators
were all that the president planned to
see in the immediate future.
Prepares information
The president was in his study early
and among the many matters before
him was the preparation of informa-
ton and documents relating to the
peace negotiations requested by the
senate. A vast number OF pa pers have
to be separated from the presidents
personal documents and this work was
expected to consume much time.
Indications today were that the pres
ident would start on his westward trip
about August 10, although it was ma de
clear this was purely tentative and
that the exact date would depend
largely upon develop ments in Wash
1ngton during the next forenight.
President Wilson today was consid-
ering a weekend cruise on the yacht
Maynower, the weather being ideal
