Resolution - Republicans
Ready for Vote.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. Demo-
cratic senate leaders. apparently di-
vided over the expediency of the COM
promise proposal for peace treaty
reservations separate from the ratifica-
ton, decided today not to press for
action, the resolution of Senator Pitt
man, Democrat of Nevada, embodying
the compromise plan. The impression
was given that the measure probably
would be permitted to lie over in
definitely.
The decision was taken after SEN
ator Pittman had made it clear that
in introducing the resolution he acted
on his own initiative and after Sen
ator Hitchcock, the administration
leader, had indicated that it was not
to be regarded as inspired by the ad-
ministration.
Meantime the Republican leaders
said they were ready for a vote, de-
claring the Republican group which
favors reservations but wants them in
corporated in the ratification itself
would line up against the resolution.

1t is not expected that the former
emperor will leave Amerongen for
three months.
The former empress heart again is
troubling her. DR.. Foerstner made

non, an employe Of the Reliance
foundry, claims that he was stopped
and assaulted by Emmett Fawcett, a
striking moulder, formerly employed

filed in police court Thursday morn

have been declared, nothing new has
developed in the strike situation here.
No effort has been made to come
to an agreement, on either side of
the controversy.

Those who have arrayed them
selves against society should be
taught that hey cannot do so with i'm

substitute the inclination of their

obedience to the law, then orderly
government is at an end and the in
stitutions of the nation for which our
fathers have sacrificed so much, must
perish. We have fought to little pur-
pose to destroy the autocracy Of the

land to the autocracy of the mob.

The Owen Magnetic and Liberty ser
vice station, at l42d Street and Fifth
Avenue, continues under the direction
Of r. W. Stanley, who has been as
sociated with the Owen Magnetic in
terests as chief engineer for the past
eight years. An idea of the equip
ment he controls may be gained by the
statement that the first 300 Owen

Magnetic Company, and Percy Owen
president of the Liberty Motor Car
Company, stand for the same principles
in motor car construction and NOR
chahdising. Furthermore. the Liberty
Six seemed to be the logical car, be-
cause, besides Percy Owen, those re-
sponsible for it's manufacture were men
who had made their regulations with
the Packard, Timken, Continental and
other companies.
Sales of both the Owen Magnetic
and Liberty Six since the automobile
show have been phenomenal, and there
is every indication that tho move of the
company to larger quarters will result
in a further expansion of its business.
This would not have been possible had
the company not promptly given up its
smaller quarters when the increase in
business clearly indicated it had out
