|. V.N. s, TAG.DAY
NETSABOUT $4,000
Funds Collected May Make
Possible Increase of All
Branches of Service.

Funds totaling nearly $4,000 were
contributed by Washington to the In
structive Visiting Nurse Society dur
ing Saturdays tag day. More than
$4,000 has already been counted and
money is still coming in from the
various districts.
Mrs. G. Brown Miller, chairman of
the tag day, stated today. that the
officers of the 1. v. n. S. appreciated
the generosity of the people of the
city and felt that the sum collect ed
was gratifying in face of the fact of
rainy weather and loss of many tag
sellers through the necessary post
ponement of the day.
There are now sixteen nurses on the
staff of the society, and it is hoped by
means of the funds collected Saturday
to increase all branches of the nurs-
ing service.
The following figures indicate the
economy of Washington's investment
of $4,000 in the work of these nurses
The salary of a nurse is now $1,000;
the average life. according to official
estimates, Is worth $4,000 to the COM
munity. The saving of lives is but
the daily routine Of the visiting nurse,
and for every life saved the nurse has
given the city more than four times
the value of her full years salary
Aside from this. the saving through
the work of the nurses in industri rial
expenses of sickness, which reaches
more than s3,0O0,000 yearly.
The following churches and asso-
Citations support a nurse: All Souls
Church, the Association for the Pre-
vention of Tuberculosis and WASH
fngton Steel and Ordnance Company
Seven memorial nurses have been es-
tablished-the Fahnestock nurse, An

A. Keep nurse, the Mrs. Blair Lee
nurse, the Anna Livingstone Morton
nurse. the Minna Byrd Lathrop nurse
and the Sara Goodhue King nurse.

TREATY STEPS WAIT
ON THE PRESIDENT
Senate Leaders indicate
, Other Business for Early
Days of Session.

When the Senate reconvened today
the impression prevailed among party
leaders on both sides that the principal
will consist of discussion Of the rail-
way bill; action on the conference re-
port on the oil land leasing bill and
the Edge bill relating to financing
foreign trade. Adjournment over the
holidays will probably extend from
December 20 to January 5.
Many senators have written in from
their homes expressing desire to re-
main away until after the first of the
year. and if they do SO, it is thought
that obtaining two-thirds vote on
the treaty will have to he postponed
until then. Administration leaders de-
clared today that any steps to be taken
on the treaty will await word from
the President
Senator Hitchcock has not had an in
terview with the President Yet. and
will await word from the White House
that the President desires to discuss
the treaty with him.
Attitude Of Senator's.
Administration senator's, it was
stated today. expect to stand pat" on
heir last vote on the treaty until
otherwise advised by the President
The same may be said of the republi-
cans. whose position was outlined in
Senator Lodges statement.
The expectation at the Capitol is
that the President will withdraw the
treaty and resubmit it. Upon sending
it back it is assumed that the atti-
tude of the executive toward reserva-
tions will be outlined and the admin
istration supporters given their cue.
Senator Lodge Explains Situation.
Senator Lodge, republican leader, in
a statement issued last night, declared
that the Senate reservations would
have to be accepted by the President
if the treaty is to be ratified. He said l.:
The general feeling in Massachu-
sets is Enthusiastically one of great sat-
isfaction that the treaty was not al
lowed to pass without the reservations
put on by the Senate" Senator Lodge
said.
1.-The situation is perfectly simple.
By decisive majorities the Senate put
on fourteen reservations. all designed
solely to protect the safety, independ-
ence and sovereignty of the United
States. They did not nullify the treaty.

Grafton. Stripped of eXtraneous mat
ter, with which the Mexican note of
November &c endeavors to clothe it,
the naked case Of Jenkins stands
forth: Jenkins, a United States con-
sular agent. accredited to the govern
ment or Mexico. is imprisoned for
rendering false judicial testimony
IN connection with the abduction of
which he was the victim. This is
the substance of the Mexican note.
My government is pleased to learn
that the Imprisonment of Jenkins
stands on this single and weil-de-
fined ground. and that the reported
statements that Mexican authorities
had caused the Imprisonment of
Jenkins because of collusion with his
abductors and rebellion against the
state are not seriously regarded by
your government
In whose interest then is the
charge of false swearing brought
against Jenkins? His abductors? He
is in equity the complainant in the
case of his abduction. not the de-
fendant, as the Mexican government
now makes him out to he. The Mex
lean government is prosecuting the
victim instead of the perpetrators of
the crime. While the outlaws. who
endangered his life and took away a
large part of his fortune enjoy their
freedom. the Mexican authorities now
deprive Jenkins of his liberty. More
over, the ground expressed for the
! Imprisonment of Jenkins namely,
that he is supposed "to be responsi sible
for the crime of rendering false ju-
dicial testimony must be taken--and
my government directs special at
tention to this point-as merely an
, expression of opinion on the part of
the Mexican government. as it is en-
tirely unsupported by evidence.
There is not produced any OF the tes-
timony rendered by him. or any extracts
from such testimony tending to show
the correctness of this opinion
Mexican Opinion Unsupported.
'The Mexican government cannot ex-
pect the United States to accept in\the
grave circumstances of this case such a

excuse for the imprisonment of as
American consular officer. particularly
in view of the fact that the investiga-
ton Of the case by the representatives
of the United States in Mexico, so far
as it has proceeded, fails utterly to sup

They simply Americanized It. If the
President had not interfered and is
sued orders against accepting the
reservations the treaty would have
been ratified with the reservations on
November 10. These reservations-the
work of months-represent the views
of the United States Senate. and, in my
judgment, of vast majority of the
people of the country. They constitute
the irreducible minimum. Immaterial
verbal changes would be foolish and
needless.
IF the President desires to have
prompt ratification of the treaty with
Germany he has only to accept the
reservations as they stand. We desire
final action, as l have said, but act on
must be based on the acceptance of the
reservations as they are. 1 hope prompt
action will be taken, but if the Presi-
dent decides that he will not accept
those reserva tions and insists upon
carrying them over to the election
those who are determined that the
treaty shall be Americanized stand
ready to meet him on that issue before
the people"

TWELVE Vl0[AT0RS
OF AUT0LAWFlNED

Twelve motorists were fined in Po-
lice Court this morning for violating
the Fifteen foot" section Of the Wash
ington traffic regulations. The fines
ranged from SO to $50.
The arrest of the motorists came
after an announcement Friday by Maj.
Pullman that the police had been in
structed to take in custody all vio-
lators of the section, and demand the
full collateral prescribed by law-$40.
There are two salient points in the
'tfffteen-foot" section, which, accord
ing to Maj. Pullman. motorists and
drivers of horsedrawn vehicles have
been overlooking. They are:
1. That no vehicle shall pass or
approach within fifteen feet Of any
street car while the same is stopping
or has stopped for the purpose of
2. That no vehicle shall continue
on its way until the passenger who
alighted from the street car shall have
reached a place Of safety.
For Rigid Enforcement.
Ringgold Hart, assistant corpora
tion counsel for the District said that
the court is in hearty accord with the
movement to break up infractions of
this character. He said he believed
the laws should be rigidly enforced,
but that there should be no fixed fine
for violators.
Each case should stand on its own
merit" he said. land fines should be
imposed accordingly"
All of the alleged violators of the
traffic law deposited the $40 collateral
when arrested. Their names and the
fines imposed follow:

today that it probably would be a
week before complete returns could
be compiled to show whether the
goal of $4,000 members has been
reached.
Although no tangible figures are
availahl members of the central

three times as many as when the

campaign the combined membership
of all the associations was estimated
at 8 600
The drive ends officially tonight. but
1t is probable that many Of the asso-
Citations will continue to seek new
members Independently for several
days. 1t was pointed out at head
quarters today that in many Of the
associations the members were not
able because of their working hours
to give much time each day to the
drive and for that reason have not
covered all Of their territory.
Soliciting Force Inadequate.
Several of the associations have re-
ported that their people seemed eager
to join. but that there were not
enough solicitors to visit every home
in the neighborhood.
w. J. Thorn of the Mid-City Asso-
citation said today he believed the
drive should be continued for another
week. He said that although his as
sociation has nearly sixty canavssers
at work they have not covered all of
their territory. He said he felt sure
there are scores of men In the down
