Believe Taft Proposals May
Offer Treaty Compromise.
Think His Program Will Be
Basis of Final Agreement.
THE PRESIDENT is YIELDING?
Believed To Be in Mood for
Some Interpretations"
Taft's Work as League Support
Gives Suggestions Weight.

Washington, July 24.-Discussion of
the possibility that William Howard
Taft's suggestion for explanatory res
ervations to the peace treaty may pro-
vide a compromise by which the pact
will be ratified. was general today In
congressional circles.
The former presidents friends pre-
dicted that this program will become
the basis of an arrangement accepta-
BILE to President Wilson. This fore
cast had two premises:
First-That Taft. next to Wilson.
has been the most consistent supporter
of the league Of nations. thus giving
his suggestions great weight among
administration leaders.
Second-The increasing belief that
the president is gradually approach
ing a mood for acceptance of explana-
tions or interpretations SO as not to
endanger ratification of the treaty.
All of the presidents Republican
callers, including those who saw him
yesterday. declared they carried away
the distinct impression that, white he
is not encouraging the demand for
reservation. he will not seriously OBJ
ject to mere explanations or interpre-
tations.
There was some disposition to be-
lieve however, that Taft's program
will not be acceptable as a whole. But
on certain points. it was held by many
senators to be the first suggestion of
middle of-the-road course between
drastic reservations, amounting to
amendment and unqualified accept
ance of thetreaty.

ANTHONY in A THREAT
VIII Go TO Bottom of Prison Trouble
Unless Baker Acts.

Washington, July 24.-Representa-
tive Anthony of Kansas. after visiting
the war department to urge that the
department take steps to end the re-
curing mutinies and strikes among
the military prisoners at the disciple
nary barracks at Fort L,eavenworth,
said unless the situation was straight
ened out, he would lay the whole mat
ter before the military affairs commit
tee Of the house, summon the army
and prison heads and go to the bot
tom of the trouble to force action.
The Kansas representative sah that
former Assistant Secretary of War
Keppel and the socialistic ideas he
has been, tainted with" primarily
was responsible for the present con-
ditions in the disciplinary barracks.
The war department told Mr.. An
thony that additional troops were be-
ing ordered to the barracks to main
tain firm discipline. But aside from
that they indicated no further change
in policy. Representative Anthony
told the adjutant general that the sit
uation had become intolerable and
was growing worse. He said it was
an absurd condition to be allowed to
continue.

GOING UP
County Government Increases
100000 in a Year.
District Court One of Few De-
partmentS To Cut Down.

Expenses of operating the county
machinery jumped 100000, accord
ing to figures submitted by the county
auditor. The fiscal year ended June
30. Good roads, high wages and soar
ing prices are given as an excuse for
the increasing expenditures. The ex-
act figures: Total for 1919, $685.
1850; total for 1918. $266,42s.oS.
The greatest increase is in work on
hard surfaced roads. In 1913 the
roads cost s91, 32O.17, while in 1919
in 1918 were $53,374.29, in 1919, $751;
62436.
In the juvenile court the expenses
for 1919 jumped $500. In the pro-
bate court the cost of operation in
creased $4S4.61. There is not more
than 800 difference in the cost of
operation of the juvenile court.
Spend Freely on Bureau.
The county, fighting bitterly other
increases, seems glad to keep pouring
money into the county farm bureau
and in the totals of expenditures for
this department an increase Is noted
and still further increases are prom
Used next year. In 1918 the bureau
cost s1.513.97, while this year 1t cost
S1,717.97.
There is a slight decrease noted in
the expenses of the district court. In
1919 the expenses were $11, 599.O6,
while in 1918 they were $10,059.20.
Also there is a decrease in the cost
of maintaining the INDECENT poor. In
1919 it was $19,162.S4, in 1918, $17,-
977S6.
Expenditures in other departments
are: Court house, $S,626.73; jail,

NO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION?

Thirteenth Victim of Balloon
Disaster Dies.

Chicago. July 24.--G. NJ. StadeIman,

dirigible which cost thirteen lives and
the injury to twenty-eight other per-
sons when II burned and crashed thru
the skylight Of the Illinois Trust and
Savings bank. Monday. has issued a
statement thru his attorney. saying
that the company will pay all ex-
penses caused by the accident
ANY families who have suffered
because Of this accident, will only
have 10 present the bills TO our COM
pany to have them paid" the state
ment said.
Irrespective of what the investiga-
ton may disclose as TO our RESPONSE
bility. we wish to be allowed to afford
all possible facilities, for the care of
the persons and families afflicted. The
company also offered to assume full
financial responsib lily for damages
wrought in the bank"
Because of the lack of law covering
the case, it is probable there will be
no criminal prosecution. Coroner Hoff-
man said today. He declared he be-
lieved the net result OF the double Jury
investigation he is conducting will be
drafting Of laws restricting air naviga-
ton above cities
The thirteenth victim died late yes
terday. He was Marcus A. Callopy.
a teller. who was burned by flaming
gasoline.
As a result of the newest theory.
that the naval radio currents produced
the spark that iEnited the dirigible
naval communication officers will aid
the authorities in fixing the RESPONSE
bility for the disaster. 1t was ascer-
tanned that technical experts had sug-
gested the theory, because the big ship
sailed over or near the transportation
building from the roof of which are
projected the antennae of the naval
radio station.

Been Feznd in Her Room.
Princeton, Ind, July 24.-Because
the Rev. Ernest G. Hildner, for II
years pastor of the First Presbyterian
church here, was unable to appear in
court, the trials of c. E. Burger Of
Tulsa, Oklahoma, and John M. Par
rett have been continued until
July 80.
The cases grew out Of a sensational
affair Friday at the boarding house of
Mrs. Mabel Dorsey. where the minis
ter lived during the absence of his
family in Michigan.
Burger, a brother, and Parrett.
brother-in-law of Mrs. Dorsey, forced
their way into her room, breaking

have found DR.. Hildner with her.
Burger gave the minister a severe
beating, while PARROT kept others
from interfering.
The minister declares he was as
sisting Mrs. Dorsey in some bookkeep-
ing work and that there was no
ground for the attack.
