dearly to wet their whistles. A man
told the saloonkepers, whose names
the police refuse to divulge, that he
could get them each barrel of the
real stuff" for $500 barrel, and they
said cheap enough, produce" The
salesman delivered the goods and as
proof of good faith, turned the bar
rels on their sides and drew there
from four glasses of liquor. The sa-
loOnkeepers accepted it and paid
$4,000. The owners planned little
party. They tapped the barrels and
ooh how good" But after several
glasses the little stream refused to
trickle. The barrels were as heavy as
before, which proved that something
was radically wrong. The saloon
keepers removed the heads from the
barrels and found small compart-
ment in each which had contained all
the whisky and the rest of the space
was filled with water and dirty water
at that. Detectives are Investigating

Senators Line Up
For Real Fight on
League of Nations
BY Associated Press.

washington, Sept. 26.-While the
German Peace Treaty received only
priet consideration in the Senate
Yesterday, outside developments in
dlcated that the factions were lin
ing up for the real fight over the
League of Nations Covenant.
The outstanding feature of the
DAY was the announcement by Sena-
Tor Johnson, Republican. of Cali
fornia, that he would leave here to-
morrow for the Pacific coast to keep
up MS attack on the Treaty, which
was accepted to mean finally that
ms proposed amendment to .equali-
lze the voting power of the United
states and Great Britain would not
De called up for weeks hence. FL
Next in public interest was the
news that Senator Ashurst, Demo-
erat, of Arizona, had telegraphed
president Wilson that he would
vote for ratification of the Treaty,
DelleVing he could render the coun-
try and the world, he said, a great
service by accepting 1t as it is, with
out amendment or reservation. This
definite statement from Senator
Ashurst was considered particularly
assuring by Democratic leaders be-
cause of persistent reports that he
would oppose the pact in it's pres
ent form.
