Washington, July 26.-The next inn
portant move in the senate disagree
ment over reservations TO the peace
treaty is expected to come from Presi-
dent Wilson,
Having canvassed the senate sit
uation in his conferences with fifteen
republican senators, all of whom are
said to have told him they would sup
port certain reservations, it is expect
ed the president soon will make
known definitely his attitude toward
such a course 1t was indicated at
the White House that the expression of
his views on the subject might not
await his speaking tour, to begin two
weeks hence, but might be embodied
in a public statement in few days.
This aroused great interest Several
republicans have told Mr. Wilson the
treaty never could be ratified without
reservation qualification and yester-
day at the suggestion, it is understood,
of Republican Leader Lodge, a tenta
tive draft of reservations indicating in
a general way the trend of opinion
among many republican senators, was
laid before the president by Senator
Spencer, republican. of Missouri.
Now Presidents Move.
Leaders for reservations say it is
now the presidents move.
The group of republicans who un-
der the lead of Senator McCumber of
North Dakota, and NsNaty, of Gre
gon, are working on reservation pro-
gram designed to clarity the league
of nations covenant without vitally
weakening it, believe the president
will announce his acceptance of such
n course and that quick ratification of
the treaty will follow On the talks
with Mr.. Wilson, they say, he has in
dicated no radical autagonism to SEN
ate qualifications his only fear being
that the whole subject might be
thrown hack into concentrations.
The presidents speeches in concord
with This view and if is thought by
some that he will assert himself for

BROUGHT AGAINST
DOVER MAN; IN JAIL
WIN Adams, Aged About 40 Years, Is

tributing to the Delinquency

Ran Away But Is
Caught.

Deputy Sheriff C. M. Devore Mon
day evening brought to the county
Jail here Will Adams, we'll known
Dover resident, having arrested him
early in the evening at Dover on the
very serious charge of contributing
to the delinquency of female under
16 years of age.
/ The complaint was made against
Adams by Louis Daniels, another resi-
dent of Dover, who charges that
| Adams has been too familiar with his
IA year old daughter, Edith o. Daniels.
| The girls mother died some time ago
and she has been keeping house for
her father until a few weeks ago
when the Daniels home burned.
| About 23O o'clock Monday after
noon the girl was seen to go over the
river bank at Dover and had been
missing from her home since that time
The disappearance of the girl caused
considerable commotion in Dover and
it Is said Daniels went out on the
search of Adams with a revolver in
his hand. The two men met on the
street and Daniels stopped Adams
with the revolver. They had consid'
erable argument but no shots were
fired or blows struck. Later in the
evening Sheriff Devore arrived will
the warrant against Adams and PLACED
him under arrest.
A search was instituted in Maysvill'
today for the missing IA year old girl
Her father came here to lead thu
search, 1t having been reported tina
she left Dover with a soldier. Th'
search extended IN all parts Of thu
city and was continuing when at abou
/ o'clock this afternoon a telephone
message was received by Chief Or
from the Marshal Of Augusta saying
that the girl was being held by him II
that town. She will be brought t
Maysville this afternoon and will b
used as a witness in the case.
4 .= a
Adams insists that he Is innocen
Of any charge made against him an
that he has at no time been guilt
of mistreating the girl In any respect
The case has created much excite
, ment and interest in Dover and 1t l
expected that many will be presen
=, here at the examination which will b
given Adams before Squire Fred "
/ Bauer Thursday morning. The de
= fendant remains in Jail in default c
) bail. He is a married man with on
child but he and his wife are not liS
