CINDERS MAY BE PUT ON AL
LEN STREET.

A movement has been inaugurated
by Father ]. ]. Ferdinand to place
cinders on all side walks on Allen
street.
The movement was given much
precedence as Allen street is practi-
cally out of commission for passing
when it rains. 1t is likely to be a
rainy winter and passage on Allen
will be impossible if the citizens of
this street fail to do their duty in
this respect. Do it now.
Cinders are cheap. Everybody put
your mite down for this improvement
so that you may be able to get out
of your yard to the store or to town
without getting wet and muddy up
to the knees.

MOVEMENT IN
 FOOT TO CHOKE
 LONG DEBATES
Proposal Offered Would Cut Down Arguments of Each Senator to One Hour Until Peace Treaty Is Ratified

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Sum- mary action to choke down debate on the peace treaty was decided on by the treaty's friends in the senate today to meet developments regarded by many senators as the beginning of filibuster against ratification.
 Two petitions to invoke the sen ate's cloture rule which never here tofore has been used were prepared for submission tomorrow should it become apparent that dilatory tactics have been adopted by the irreconcil- able group opposed to the treaty. The first proposal was drawn by the Democrats and the other was being formulated by the mild" reservation group of Republicans.
 Under the rule, which could be made effective beginning Saturday by twO-thirds vote, no senator could speak more than one hour in all until vote on ratification had been reached.
 To further hasten the treaty, it was agreed tentatively to hold night sessions beginning tomorrow and continuing until there has been a ratification vote.
 The movement for cloture was started after Senator Reed, Demo crat, Missouri, had launched into an other long speech attacking the treaty, and Senators La Toilette, Wisconsin, and France, Maryland, Republicans, had indicated they were ready to continue. the fight as soon as the Missouri senator concluded Senator Reed occupied all of today's session and intimated that he would continue for several hours tomorrow.
 Suspecting that the long anticipat- ed filibuster was on, Senator Hitch cock, Nebraska, the acting Demo cratic leader, and Senator Under wood, Democrat, Alabama, circulated on the Democratic side a petition for cloture. It soon had more than twice the 16 signatures needed.
 The Republicans acted more slow ly. the mild reservation group being fearful of alienating the irreconcil- ables on whose votes they were counting for a safe majority to put over the reservation program. Later Senator Hale of Maine, mild reser- vation Republican, passed around a petition and got the requisite mum Der of signatures.
 Although protesting to be anxious for the debate to end and predicting that the necessary two-thirds could be mustered for cloture, Republican Leader Lodge said he desired to take no part in the move.
