IN DAYTIME
Six R0bberies Committed
During Past Week by
Colored Man
GIVEN A SURPRISE
Makes Specially of Clothing-All
Houses Robbed Are Occupied by
Colored Persons.

Wanted-Colored burglar who robs
houses in the daytime. Call at police
headquarters and give yourself UP.
The police feel that an advertise
mcnt reading something like the
above is needed just now in order to
bring suave coored burglar to JUS
tice.
This burglar during the past week
has robbed at least half dozen
houses in various parts of the city
All of the houses he entered have
been the residences of colored persons
according to the police.
In each instance the burglar car
!ied away articles of clothing. At a
few houses he obtained a small
amount of money.
This elusive burglar was captured
a few days ago while near the South
ern Railway roundhoue by colored
man who happened to be home. The
burglar was taken back for momcn:
and then explained to the occupant
that he had gotten into the wrong
house and also told the man his name
was Smith. Anyhow the occupant Of
tie house realizing that the intruder
was a sort Of Jack Dempsey let him
go his way unmolested and later made
a report of the affair to the police.
The news that there is burglar abroad
has caused colored residents consider
able apprehension and those who have
learned about his regular visits to
houses are locking up their place:
with more care than they formerly
lid before leaving home.

PEACE TO WAIT FOR TREATY
President Writes Fall He. Cannot Act
Until Pact is Ratified

Washington, Aug. 22.-The COM
promise proposal to have the Senate
adopt peace treaty reservations, bu.
keep them separate from the ratifica-
ton itself was put aside indefinitely
yesterday, after Democratic leaders
had declined to assume responsibility
for it and Republicans Of all shades
of opinion had given notice they cc;1ld
not accept it.
Among the Republicans the develop
ment was interpreted as meaning that
action never would be sought on the
proposal in its present form, and
DemocJatic leaders generally said
they had no plans for bringing it to
vote.
Meantime a White House announce
ment and an executive session of the
Foreign Relations Committee brought
to the surface again two other is
sues of the treaty fight.
President Wilson, replying to sug-
gesticn that he might put the coun-
t1y on a peace basis by declaring the
war at end, announced that he not
cnly considered himself powerless to
take such step but considered a
peace declaration either by himself or
Congress prior to ratification CT the
treaty would "put stain upon cur
national honor" by evading respon-
sibiIty in the world peace settlement;
The Foreign Relations Committee
got into another argument over
prompt committee action on the treaty
which ended by decision, without, q
record vote, to continue its hearings
to receive the cases of the Irish.
Greek, Egyptian, Lithuanian, Ukrain-
ian, Esthonian and Lettish races.
In every Democratic quarter in
Guiding the White House, it was in
dicated that the compromise proposal
as presented Wednesday in resolu-
ton by Senator Pittmas, Of Nay
Democrat of the committee. was
not specifically sponsored by the
resident, although it followed general
ly his suggestion to the committee
Tuesday regarding reservations.
