PROSPECT OF EARLY
ACTION ON TREATY
ARE bright TODAY

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Prospects for
early senate action on the peace
treaty again looked bright today as
administration leaders prepared to
force vote on the Shields and Moses
amendments which deal with the
voting in the league of nations.
The johnson amendment on this
subject was defeated by vote of 3S
to 40 yesterday. The vote came un-
fxpectedly and many senators were
not present.
Senator Lodge yesterday said a
''few more remarks from senators on
the republican side were yet to be
made" before the Shields amendment
is voted upon.
The possibility of the prohibition
enforcement bill, vetoed by the presi-
dent yesterday, coming before the sem
ate seemed the only obstacle in the
way of treaty voting today.

INTERMEDIARY
PRISON FOR boy
OFFENDERS NEED

A work house, an intermediate insti-
tuition between the state reform school
and the penitentiary. where first
termers" and others between the ages
of IL and 21 years, may be taken to
serve time, is held dire necessity by
District Judge George Bingham. 9th
ers, familiar with prison conditions,
and who have associated with prison
ers and know what danger lies in send
ing First -termers,' and young men in
to the penitentiary with 'hardboils," :"
also speak in favor of such an institu-
ton.
(. In sentencing Joseph Mayer, IS, who
three months ago assisted in the rob-
berry of a Salem store, to a year in the
state penitentiary. Judge Bingham yes
terday said he regretted that it be-
came necessary to send Mayer to the
prison.
"Tn my Judgment he said, ''the
state should have an intermediate in
stitution-a sort of work house
where boys too old to be sent to the
reform school, and too young to be
sent to the penitentiary to mingle with
hardened criminals, could be sent"
In referring to Young Mayors case,
the judge said:
"This boy got into bad circumstances
when he was younger. His associates
were responsible. Had he been given
& chance to lead bette life he wouid
have done So am much impressed
with his appearance. 1t is entirely
wrong to send him to the penitentiary.
His character is in the formation, and
to send him there is to virtually shape
his future life in crime. For he will
become associated with hardboils, as
they are called and will lend an ear
to their tempting stories that lead to
no good.
But that is all could do. To send
him to the reform school would place
him among a group of much younger
boys. The influence of the older boys
tends to school the younger ones In
crime and wrong doing. And the coun-
ty jail is no punishment, SO was COM
PEELED to send him to the state peni-
tentiary."
1t is pointed out that an institution,
as suggested by Judge Bingham could
be established by the state under the
same jurisdiction as the penitentiary
and other state institutions. The only
additional cost would be for the build
ing. This, then, would enable author
tiles to cope with the individual needs
of the prisoners for their betterment,
it is pointed out
And action toward establishment of
an intermediate institution of this kind
1t is possible that campaign of men
interested in the welfare of prisoners
be instituted to wait on the next legis-
lature for such action.

Paris, June 2S.-President Wilson left Paris for his homeward journey tonight. His train started from the Care Des Invalides for Brest at 9:45 D.
 President Wilson today on the eve of his departure from France, made the following statement:
 "As I look back over the several months I have spent in France, my memory is not of conferences and eventful work alone, but also of in- numerable acts of generosity and how genuine the sentiments of Franco are towards the people of America and how fortunate I have been to be the representative of our people in the midst of a nation which knows how to show us kincness with so much charm and so much open manifesto tion of what is in it's heart
 Deeply happy as I am at the pros poets of joining my own countrymen again, leave France with genuine re- gret, my deep sympathy for her peo- pie and belief in her future confirmed, my thought enlarged by the privilege of association with her public men. conscious of more than one affection ate friendship formed, and profoundly grateful for unstinted hospitality and for countless kindnesses which have made me feel welcome and at home.
 '1 take the liberty of bidding France God speed as well as goodbye, and of expressing once more my abiding in- terest and entire confidence in her fu- ture. sWOODROW WILSON."
