SENATE May YET
RATIFY TREATY
Following Holiday Recess Party
Leaders Get Together in
Conference.
COMPROMISE INDICATED
General Conference Planned I'm
mediately Upon Reassem-
bling of Congress.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Compromise
efforts for ratification of the peace
treaty moved forward with increasing
impetus today when leaders Of both
parties in the senate, released from
legislative duties by the holiday re-
cess, came actively into negotiations
for agreement on reservations.
Notable in the days long series of
conferences was a meeting of Senator
Lodge, republican leader and Under
wood, democrat of Alabama, promi-
nent advocate of speedy compromise.
They are said to have discussed the
whole range of possibilities of bring
ing together on a common ground
enough senators to insure ratification.
In the meantime Senator Hitchcock,
of Nebraska, acting democratic lead
er. arranged during the coming week
to see every republican senator who is
here.
As soon as congress reassembles
Senator Hitchcock plans to have a
general conference of those who favor
ratification with or without reserva-
tions.
In his talk with Underwood, Lodge
had before him the views of the mild
reservation group of republicans who
presented to him yesterday a plea for
support of compromise negotiations.
Modification in the language or reser-
vations as agreed on by the senate ma
jority is understood to have been sug-
gested by mild reservationists.

VALIDITY PROHI
LAW TEST STARTS
States of Rhode Island and New
Jersey Take Initiative
in Fight.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The supreme
court today ordered the government
to show cause on January why orig
inal proceedings should not be insti-
tuted by the state of Rhode Island
and New Jersey retail liquor dealers
to have determined the constitutional
ity of the national prohibition consti-
tutional amendment.
Applications for permission to con-
test the amendments validity and seek
injunctions against it's enforcement in
those states were presented last week.
In both instances the amendment was
alleged to conflict with the state po-
lice powers and with the federal con-
stitution.
In ordering the government to show
cause the court, according to govern
ment attorneys followed an unusual
procedure as ordinarily in such in
stances, permission to bring such pro-
ceedings is given and a date fixed
when they are returnable. The court
however, was generally believed to
have been prompted by the fact that
as the amendment becomes effective
on January 16 next, the procedure fol-
lowed would expedite matters.

republican of New Jersey, chairman of
the senate committee investigating
the coal situation, in a formal state
ment tonight, declared that the gov
ernment's negotiations there must
have been some sort of secret deal
made in addition to the signed settle
ment
Explaining that he spoke only for
mitteemen Frelinghuysen added: In
any event the public may look for an
increase in the price of coal or anosh-
er strike"
The executive committee of the coal
operators maintained silence today but
decided to call off the meeting of the
scale committee Tuesday The opera
tors expect. to. formulate a decision
at conference after Christmas re-
garding their policy towards the set
tlement.
Operators from the beginning, At
torney General Palmer declared TO-
night, have been clamoring for arbi-
tration and had stated repeatedly their
willingness to conform to any plan the
president might suggest. The settle
ment proposal accepted by the miners,
the attorney continued, was submit
ted to representatives of operators in
Indianapolis who communicated with
their representatives in Washington.
He said operators had kept silent un-
til the miners returned to work, then
began to object.
Palmer denied assertions made yes
terday by operators. whose position he
characterized as the 'merest quibbie
and quite unworthy of representatives
of a great industry

Chattahoochee, Fla, Dec. 22.-At 3
o'clock tonight fire broke out in the
receiving hospital at the Florida state
hospital for the insane. AT that time
the regular weekly moving pictures
were being shown and most patients
and employees were in attendance.

Fifteen Precincts Included in
District in Which Voting Is
to Take Place
SCHOOL BOYS ACTIVE
Organize Companies to Aid
Campaign Committee i'm Get

Whether or not Pensacola has bet
ter schools depends on the result of
today's sub-tax election. Fifteen pre-
cincts are included in the district
and the polling places are to be open
from o'clock until Sis p. m. Voters
are being urged to cast their ballots
early in order that they may not be
prevented from voting by any unfore-
seen business engagement late in the
day.
Chairman Watson of the executive
committee and Chairman Brown of
the campaign committee, of the Pen
sacola School association, are conf
dent the election will carry safely,
but they unite with many other tax
payers of the community in urging all
men who support the movement to be
sure and vote
Persons qualified to vote in this
election are those who have their poll
tax receipts, or are marked paid for
the years 1917 and 1918, and who may
have also paid either a property or
personal tax for the vast year. This
opinion was given yesterday by Judge
Francis B. Carter, attorney for the
county school board. Had the election
have been ordered after the first of
January, the poll tax receipts or
credits would have been required for
1918 and 1919.

Check Offered as Bond Not Ac-

Indianapolis, Dec. 22-A1exander
Howat, president of the Kansas dis
trict United Mine Workers is in Jail
here tonight awaiting hearing Mon
day on the charge ofN contempt of
court in connection with the strike.
Federal Judge Anderson did not ap-
prove the check offered as bond and
the Judge denounced Howat's attitude
toward injunction saying ''either 1
have to vindicate the law or abdicate
in favor of Mr.. Howat.'
The case against Howat is the out
growth of charges of contempt against
81 international and district officials
the agreement reached in indianapolis
December 10th.
Opening the case this morning,
special United States District Attor-
ney Sims declared Howat had kept in
force a local strike begun last July
and merged with the general strike on
october 81 In addition, it is charged,
TIowat has openly defied the court in
statements and interviews with the
press to the effect that there was no
power in the country to force the
miners to return to work. Mr.. Sims
quoted newspaper articles to show
Howat was feared by the operators
and business men of the Kansas dis
trict and declared no court or other
agency had been found in Kansas
strong enough to fight Howat.
Judge Anderson was vehement in
his denunciation of the conditions ex-
listing in the Kansas field and told
of having received a number of..scur-
rilious' letters and editorial clippings
from the district denouncing him for
his action in connection with the
coal strike. Counsel for Howat intro
