Washington, July 23 (by The Asso-
clated Press, "A plan for "interDre-
/ taions' in senate acceptance of the
league of nations has been suggested
by former President Taft in the hone
of uniting on a middle ground enough
democratic and republican senator's TO
defeat any radical amendment of the
covenant and in the end obtain its
ratification.
The suggestion has been received
with earnest consideration by the
group of republicans who favor tho
| league idea and who already are at
work on a definite program of inter-
pretative reservations which they de-
clare they have reason to believe will
be accepted by the administration.
The administration leaders, however
unwilling to concede that any reserVa-
tions will be necessary, still insist they
will have the votes when the time
comes to ratify the covenant as it is.
SO confident are the league repub-
leans of the success of their plan that
some of them believe President Wilson
will publicly accept it to smooth the
way for acceptance of the league.
Some republican senators who have
seen the president in the last few
days have come away from the White
House with the impression that Mr..
wilson, while not encouraging reser-
yations If they can be avoided, might
not be averse to such interpretations
as would leave the league fabric unim-
paired.
Letter Creates Sensation.
Mr.. Tafts suggestion, which Gre
ated a sensation in the senate because
of his well known advocacy of unre-
served ratification, was embodied in
two letters to VIII Hays, the republi-
can national chairman. They touch
ed upon many features of the treaty
controversy and emphasized the for
mer presidents belief that only by
acceptance of some reservations could
the treaty be ratified.
Six specific Interpretation proposals
are outlined with Mr. Taft says he is
convinced Will meet the objections OF
large group of republicans who favor
a league. He counts forty-five dem
ocratic senators as supporting the
president in the treaty fight and says
that should three republicans be COM
mitted to vote against material
amendments no such proposals could
receive a senate majority.
The former president suggested 10
Mr. Hays that his name be withheld
for the present from connection with
the Interpretation plan as it might
antagonize some senators of his party
Chairman Lodge of the foreign rela-
tions committee, who is named in that
connection, declined today to make
any comment on the Taft letter.
Mr.. Taft also has written some OF
the republican senators, who under
the leadership of Senator McCumber,
North Dakota, and McNary, oregon,
have been interested in formulating
middle course for solution of the sem
ate situation. 1t is understood that
Senators Kellogg, Minnesota; Colt,
Rhode Island, and Spencer, Missiuri,
also have been consulted in the in.
terests of such plan.
The letter follows:

The premier averred that the guar

employed at Fiume, NJ. franklin
Boui!lon has just returned from Rome.

In his article NJ. Franklin Bouil-

Latin bloc, which, with Roumanla,
Portugal and possibly Spain, could
offer solid front to the always men

patches. one of those stated that the

effort to aid Villas campaign.
Among the dispatches furnished by
General Barragan to the Associated
Press was one from General Gonzales
regarding the Cheyenne case, in which
the chief of the Tampico garrison
says:
Blames the Sailors.
This was due to their (the Ameri
can sailors) imprudence, for, without
advising with the Mexican military
headquarters, where they could have
learned how far they could have pass
ed safely up the river Tamesi they
Ventured beyond the last outpost into
I ebel territory and were robbed of one
watch, little money and their shoes
General Gonzales reports that he
has called the attention of the Ameri-
can consul to this fact and also that
he has given orders that nobody shall
pass the last Mexican outposts in the
future.
The killing of Hiram Hughes, an
near Tampico on July 9.
occurred, according to the Gonzales
after Hughes while intoxi-
ct ted, had insulted passersby and hal
been arrested. Asked If he carried
arms, Hughes is alleged to have re
piled in the negative, but a gendarme
found pistol in his pocket. Hughes Il
then declared to have shot the gen
d&rme in the hand and was himself
wounded in the ensuing
struggle.
