 Then came Walter B. Lashar. and he told the rank and file of the Re pubhcans present that their leaders had practically tricked him into com ing to a G. O. P. rally. And after they fed me at the StratffeId, along with Mir. Hays and MT King and Senator Watson, and then brought me here and fed me again, they thought I would fall and become Republican-but as a Democrat, etc" It was an explanation that should satisfy the minds of doubting Demo- crats and hopeful Republicans.
 Senator Watson sharply attacked MT. Wilson charging him with wanton waste, hypocracy, mismanag cement of funds and incompetence, declaring he not only failed to prepare for war, but failed to prepare for peace.

AIRPLANE SUCCEEDS
AUTO AS CONVEYANCE

plant in regard to the danger. They
went a little bit further, however.
They said it interfered with their
game to have the birdmen flying
over them, and because they distract
ed them from their game, considered
the airplanes in the light of a new
tangled hazard
The result has been that at Del
Monte, where there is both a polo
field and a couple of golf links, rules
and regulations to govern the flyers
already have been promulgated and
posted on the fields for the benefit
Of the airmen. They are prohibited
from landing on the polo field or the

for landing grounds a little distance

a revolver battle In the State reforma-
tory here after two prisoners had at
tempted to escape by saving the bars
of their cell.
When two officers tried to enter the
cell the prisoners, who had secretly
armed themselves with revolvers, fred
upon them, killing one and wounding
the other, and fleeing from the cell.
The armed inmates then scaled porch
and water spout and reached the roof of
the hospital building, from which they
evidently hoped to drop outside the re-
formatory grounds, but were discovered
by another officer, and they then de-
scended to the grounds again and in
the shooting which followed an inmate
was killed and another wounded.
Before leaving the cell house after
killing the officer the pair had taken the
guards keys and released a prisoner by
the name of Burns who attempted to
escape with them, Burns, however, was
pursued and surrendered
In the meantime the Pontiac police

HAYS Says WILSON
BUTTS STONE WALL


CHICAGO, Sept. I'm a statement ia
sued here to-day VIII II. Hays, chair
man Of the Republican National Com
mittee, asserted that President Wilson
was pounding against stone wall In
attempting to have the peace treaty
ratified without reservations. Mr.. Hays's
statement follows: .-.t
II agree with President Wilson that
the treaty win be ratified, but the ratifi-
cation win be accompanied by reserva-
tions absolutely safeguarding the full
Independence and freedom of action of
this republic. That is the simple fact
which the President may as we'll recog-
nize first as last. AT present he Is only
pounding against a stone wall of pa
triotism, which has already become I'M
pregnable and is daily increasing in
width. strength and height
THE committee reservations consti-
tute the irreducible minimum Of the re-
quirements Of a substantial majority of
Senators who cannot be coerced or ca
joled into violating their oaths Of office
to hold America first There is no parti-
sanship in their position. True, every
Republican Senator without exception
stands with the committee, but because
he is an American--not because he is q
Republican.
Il sincerely believe further that an
actual majority of the Democratic Sena-
tors feel the same way and evidences
multiply daily that when the TIME comes
aoonsiderable number will vote THE same
way.
ut Is for the President to determine
when the test shall be made. The treaty
will be reported this week and a vote
can be had as soon as 1t can be reached
under the rules, unless II is delayed by
Senator's acting under the direction Of
the President himself 1t is simply nov
up to the Administration to decide
whether it will or will not accept at once
these essential guarantees Of American
Independence, which will unquestionably
be promptly accepted by the other ma
lions. 1t is imperative that this matte,
be settled right. 1t ought. by all means
to be settled promptly. The full re
sponeibility for any delay will rest upor
