AGREEMENT NEAR
. ON NEW PLAN FOR
PACT COMPROMISE
Democrats and Mild Repub-
Iicans Said to Have Agreed
on Three Changes in Orig
inaI Reservations

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.--RepubIi-
can and Dehocr&tic senator's work
ing for peace treaty compromise
centered their attention today on a
plan said to have been accepted by
the mild reservation Republicans and
by number of Democrats for rati-
fication with three notifications in
the fourteen reservations approved
by the senate majority at the last
session. ST..
The three changes, which some
senator's believe would make the res
ervations acceptable to two-thirds,
deal with the preamble declaration
that the qualifications must be ac-
guessed in by the other powers,
with article ten and with Shantung.
The mild group believe Senator
Lodge. the Republican leader, will be
willing to make these changes and
that Senator Hitchcock, leader of
the Democrats, also will beN salts
fled with themk 1t was said, how
ever, neither of the party heads in
the senate had yet expressed a final
opinion.
! Under the new preamble suggest
ed, the senate reservations would be
regarded as accepted by the other
parties to the treaty unless specific
objection were made within limit
ed time The wording of the article
ten reservation would be changed so
as to eliminate the language which
President Wilson said he would re-
gard as a rejection of the treaty
and to substitute an affirmative dec
laration that the articles obligations
are accepted with the understanding
that future congresses shall be at
liberty to decide questions of peace
and war Language which some sem
ators have regarded as offensive to
other powers would be modified IN
the Shantung reservation.
Although compromise talk on this
otI.er modification plansf continues
among the senators remaining here,
there are SO many absent that no
rconcrete action is expected until the
serate reassemb1es next Monday.

Woman Is Mentioned
As Latest Figure in
Brown Murder Case

MOUNT CLEMENS Mich, Dec. %.
daeonab county authorities were to-.
day investigating a new angle of
the Staying of j. Stanley Brown son
of a Detroit manufacturer, whose
body was found in his automobile on
the road from Detroit last Wednes
day morning.
The new information was a state
ment by Miss Gladys Summit, who
came here late last night from Bat
tie Creek and gave the officers
story involving a young woman who.
until last Saturday, lived in Battle
Creek and who, Miss Summit de
clared, had been much in Browns
company just prior to his death.
The girl, whose name Miss Sum-
nit gave to the officers, left Battle
Creek for Mount Clemens early last
week, the statement says, after bor-
rowing uniform from soldier sta
toned at Camp Custer. She returned
to Battle Creek Wednesday after
noon, Miss Summit declared, with Il
large sum Of money. and, attired in
new and expensive clothing. Later,
when informed of Browns death by
Miss Summit, the statement says.
the girl displayed unsual interest
and inquired if her name was men
toned by the newspaper report.
Discussing the latest development
of the investigation, Alan Straight,
chief of police, who returned here
last night, with Miss Summit, recall
ed the statement of a. farmer that
the latter had passed Browns auto
mobile late Tuesday night and some
distance down the road had passed
figure dressed in mans clothing, but
who, he said, did not walk or look
like a man. This popularity. the
farmer said, attra cted a second look
at the pedestrian.
Miss SUBMITS statement that
uniform had been borrowed from
Camp Custer soldier, Chief Straight
declared, was corroborated by the
fact that the soldier called at the
young woman's rooming- house dur
ing the officers investigation there
to ask the return of the uniform.
Straight. said he. believed the sol
dier was not in any other. way con-
nected with the case.
Miss SUBMITS, statement says the
young woman asked her to join her
on a visit to Mount Clemens, where
she said, she had an engagement
with the slain man. <fi
"I'll get Browns money and ring
if I have to kill him." the statement
quotes the girl as saying.
Miss Summit says she declined
the invitation, whereupon the cir,
replied sThen I'll get Someone

Standardized Dress
For American Women
Now Appears on Way

NEW. ~ ORK.--%I think the Amer
icanized standard of dress is on the
way. said Mrs. Carrie Cha pr1an Gait,
president Of the National American
Woman's Suffrage association upon
her return from her recent tour of
the United States.
When asked what form, such a,
Standardization would be apt to take
she outlined the following:
All costumes will embody sense,
beauty. and dignity, Dresses will
have short skirts, but not too short.
Sensible heels in place of French
heels will be demanded by women
in the way of shoes. The waist will
be comfortably loose at the neck,
but not exposing. Gowns will have
harmonious colors, and straight lines,
but the waistline will. not disappear.
"Deco1Iette gowns will be worn
for evening, but they will not be
extreme '.backless" affairs such as
Paris has decreed. =.

Is A PRIZE FIGHT A
SOCIETY Event

A prize fight can hardly be regarded
as a society event. but the largest
crowd that has assembled in Albu-
querque since the hectic days of the
war came together just outside the
Journal building. July Fourth, to
hear the returns from the Dempsey
Willard battle at Toledo. The whole
street in front of the building was
jammed with automobiles and the big
plat of vacant ground at the side q
the building was damned with people
Also there We're women IN the crowd
er street, just as eager as the men
for the news of the bouts.
Viewing the scene and catching
something of the possibly
it may be called the psychological
of it, ones mind naturally reverted
to the story in the Bible of the return
of David from his victorious battle
with the giant Goliath. The story
runs thus:
And it came to pass, as they came.
when David was returned from the
slaughter of the Phiiistine. that the
women came out of all the cities of
Israel, singing and dancing to meet
King Saul, with tabrets. with joy, and
with instruments of music.
And the women answered one an
other as they played, and said. Saul
hath slain his thousands, and DAVID
his ten thousands"
Viewing the crowds on the Fourth
of July It required no philosophical
mind to know that human nature has
not changed much from the days of
ancient Isreal to the present, We all
like a fight. when 1t is right, and we
have something of love for a. good
fighter-regardless
