HARROD TO PAY
SEVERE PENALTY
Former Bank Teller Pleads
GuiIty and Gets Five Years
u Hard Labor.

4 Haskell a1larrod. !. former. teller of
the First National bank, who con-
fessed, after his arrest here few
weeks ago, that he had embezzled
$4,000 during the past two years
from the bank, was arraigned in the
federal court Thursday morning and
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to
five years in the federal prison in
Atlanta. He was sent to Atlanta this
afternoon to begin his sentence.
The case of John T. Haggard, q
bookkeeper in the Hamilton National
bank, charged with obtaining money
under false pretenses, was passed un-
til Friday as it was reported that
Haggard was sick and unable to at
tend court. Both Harrod and Hag-
gard were indicted Wednesday.
There were six counts in the indict-
ment against Harrod. four of which
charged embeZzlement. The other two
charged that false entries were made.
T. Pope Shepherd, attorney for the
accused man, said his client was
thoroughly penitent and as much re-
formed as If he had already served a
prison sentence. Mr.. Shepherd ex-
planned that Harrod, to clear his con-
science, voluntarily confessed to a
shortage of $35,000 and assisted in
helping to trace the shortage. At
tention was called to Harrods long
connection with the bank.
In sentncing the former teller
Judge Sanford said the defendant had
good qualities and capacities for do
ing good and he hoped after he served
his term that he will rebuild himself
and take his place in the world, as
he is young. His honor said he was
sorry to have to sentence Harrod.
Attorney Shepherd explained that
the shortage at first began in small
way, and attributed speculation as
being an object for the taking
of the money.

NEXT MOVE is WILSON'S
Declaration of Lodge That
Treaty Is Dead Disputed
by Colleagues.
NEXT MOVE IS WILSON'S
(By J. BART CAMPBELL.)

Washington, Nov. 20.-U. N. S)-
The peace treaty of Versailles, re-
jected by the senate, today awaits the
action of President Wilson. The next
move must come from the White
House.
At the close of one Of the. most
dramatic sessions the senate has ever
seen, that body adjourned sine die
after turning down the peace treaty.
The only way the German peace
treaty can be ratified by the senate
is for the administration forces to
later agree to the majority reserva-
tions they turned down yesterday, II
was announced today by Senators
Lenroot, of Wisconsin, and McNary,
of Oregon, and other leaders OF the
so-called mild reservationists on the
republican side.
Defeat of the majority resolution
of ratification at last nights session
of the senate does not mean "hope-
less" defeat for the treaty, Lenroot
stated. The letter the president sent
to Senator Hitchcock. the administra-
tion leader, in which h advised
against acceptance of the majority
reservations, was directly responsible
for the treaty remaining unratified
when the first session of the Sixty
sixth congress was adjourned sine die
last night, he added. Until the reg
ular session begins on Dec. /, the
first Monday in December, in accord
ance with the constitution, the sem
ate can take no further action with
regard to the treaty unless the presi-
dent calls a special session of con-
gress before then. 1t is not believed
he will do SO.
After congress meets on Dec. I, the
president can withdraw the treaty
and send 1t back to the senate. 1t
can then be recommitted to the SEN
ate foreign relations committee,
where 1t can be held until an agree
ment by which 1t would be ratified
substantially when the majority
reservation is reached.
"The treaty will remain dead In
the senate unless our reservations ore
adopted" Senator Lodge, majority
leader. said.
II think the republicans have
worked themselves into an awkward
position" Senator Hitchcock. the mi
nority leader said. "They counted
on the enemies of the treaty beiHe
able to frame reservations they coult
ram down our throats-and they were
unable to do So"
| I'VE are willing to reach a com.
promise with the administration
forces, but they fatty refused to ac-
cept our reservations" Senator Len.
root said. I'VE. wanted the treaty
ratified with adequate reservations.
