and round up suspicious characters.
With the dash shown in going over
the top in Europe the service men
soon stripped the hall of all furniture
and documents and arrested six men.
These, thrown in Jail. were guarded
by the former soldiers to prevent their
escape and at the same time to protect
them from l%ynching.
4 mob seeking vengeance on the
prisoners a fought back by the
overseas men who stood guard at the
Jail to see that officials made no at

the shooting occurred, trampled down
the building front and burned all the
organizations literature and property,
which could be found. Posses secured

SENATE WILL
VOTE ON TREATY
High Hope Expressed That Treaty
VIII Be Adopted

Washington, Nov. 1S.-At 1915 to-
night the vice pres.cent declared the
treaty closed to further reservations
or amendments and the senate ad-
iourned until noon tomorrow when the
ratification resolution will be taken
up.
AT nine o'clock tonight after the
senate had been in continuous session
for eleven hours consideration of
amendments in committee of the
whole was completed and the treaty
was formally reposted to the senate.
The question of approving the 10 res
ervations adopted in committee Of the
whole then was taken up, each reser-
walton being considered separately.
An effort by Senator Hitchcock to
strike out the preamble requirements
for acceptance by other nations was
voted down, As 10 So, the republicans
opposing solidly except for Senator
McCumber of North Dakota.
The senate, without a roll call, then
agreed to all Of the fifteen reserva,
tons except those relating to manda-
tory, domesticc questions and the eco
nCmic boycott. Separate votes were
taken on these three reservations.
Compromise moves TO rescue the
peace treaty from a threatened dead
lock made such progress today that
its friends declared it had more than
an even chance for life.
So far as it had definitely taken
form tonight, the compromise program
called for a final vote Thursday and
pointed toward acceptance of the res
ervations of the foreign relations COM
mittee without the requirements that
they must be assented to by the other
powers.
The way to compromise vas opend
by the group of mild reservation re-
publicans, who served notice on the
republican and democratic leaders,
that the, y ould not bar entirely modi-
fcationJ OF the committee reservations
but woula stand out against and de-
feat the administrations parliament

Feed Scarce. Herd Law
Again Popular In State

Pierre. Nov. 16.-While the herd law
provision has legally applied to the
whole state for many years, in a large
part of the country west of the Mis-
souri, II has been waived by common
consent for the winter months. But
this year the scarcity Of hay has
brought dicerent situation. The man
who has secured a small amount OF
hay doesn't want to see it wiped out
by a wandering bunch of cattle and
horses, and reports in local papers
from many points arc these of local
mixups between stoccK owners and
hay owners, with the aid of the hero
law being invoked as a protection o.

EMBARGO
PROPOSED
Embargo May BE Necessary To Con-
serve supply Of Coal

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-Director General
Walker ID. Hines and seven regional
directors will meet here late today to
consider the necessity of declaring a
nationwide freight embargo to con-
serve the country's meagre supply of
coal.
Mr.. Hines is expected to arrive in
Chicago at 2 p. m, and his conference
with regional directors on the fuel
question will, IL is said, occupy the
entire afternoon.
The conditions growing out of the
present emergency were informally
discussed this morning by ~regionaI
directors.
An embargo on all freight on the
Chicago, Milwaukee Il st. Paul rail
road between Chicago and the Pacific
coast has been in effect since last Sat,
urday. If Director General Hines APP
proves the recommendation of the re-
gional directors a nationwide embargo
Oh freight will be declared, with a 40
per cent cut in passenger train ser
vice throughout the country.
This will mean the closing down of
all non-essential industries, and 49,
0GG, 600 workmen will be thrown out of
employment.
r. III. Ashton, northwest regional
director, said "The situation is SER
ious and immediate action is necess
airy.
THE railroads are vital to the bust
ness life of the nations. and they must
be kept going. My judgment is that a
general embargo is the only way to
meet the needs of the present emerg-
ency."

fairs and engagements on Sunday I'M

les concerned with building or exca-
vations were not introduced into the
conversation, which was a cheerful
one until George lightly mentioned
some new plans of his. He spoke of
his desire to extend his proficiency in
driving: in fact, he entertained the
ambition to drive four-in-hand. How

merely sat still, looking surprised,
George went on to say that he did not

He did not care for q special groom !;

eyes remaining fixed upon his grand
