Washington, January 5 The discussion ofPresident Wilson s peace terms was continued in the Senate today to the exclu- sion of virtually all other mat ters.
 Senator Lewis of Illinois, the democratic whip. and Senator Thomas of Colorado, demoratic member of the foreign rela- tions committee. defended the President and his proposals, while Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the republican leader, urged haste in concluding peace. deciar- ing that the situation Is perilous to the highest ldegree,i,s
 The Massachusetts senator denied charges that he and other republican leaders were attempting to embarrass the President abroad by recommending that consideration of league of nations and other proposals be deferred until after the peace conference. He said that since the peace of the world was involved
 the ambition or fate of presidents or political parties are infinitely of small comparison to what is before the Senate.'
 "I feel that our first duty is to act in the living present to bring peace to the world in the year 1919 before we are to undertake to make peaceful world in the year 2000,' declared Senator Lodge. That is the duty that seems to me imminent now and the one that we ought to attend to first

 President Wilson's position in not ap- pointing any members of the senate as peace delegates was defended by Sem ator Thomas who said he had every con fidence in the loftiness of the Presi- dents purposes the integrity of hrs aims and the measure of his ability at this crisis in our diplomatic history.
 "I confidently predict" he added. that President Wilson will acquit himself well before the nations and to the ultimate satisfaction of his countrymen."
 Senator Lewis in concluding an ad- dress he began yesterday, expressed similar view and said Senator Lodge was following Colonel Roosevelt in his opin- ions on a league of nations. The llli- nois senator declared that when the to the people with this as he does with to the people with this as he dots with every important question" senators wno have been opposing him will be found yielding to his views.

A social event of interest to a
wide circle Of friends was the mar
riage Sunday noon of Miss Mabel
Tinkham to Walter A. Rushworth at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. S. e.

Miss Tinkham is the oldest daughter
Of Sherman G. Tinkham, we'll

graduate of the Madison High
school. After graduation she went
to Washington. D. c., to enter the
Deaconess Training School to fit for
the profession of trained nurse and
with the exception of a few short
intervals has followed her profession
in the Capitol city up to her return
to Arson few weeks ago. Mr.. Rush
worth is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Rushworth of Madison. He
too Is a graduate of the Madison
High school and after completing his
apprenticeship in the o. H. Dilworth
jewelry store accepted position
with a large jewelry concern in Hol-
yoke, Mass. where he remained un-
til the spring of 1918. At this time
he enlisted in the Aviation depart
ment of the U. S. Army and was
stationed for a greater part of the
time near San Antonio. Texas. After

man himself would want to be heard.
Chairman Cleaves said that in
view Of the statement of Mr.. F1ynt
and especially in view Of that part
relating to Mr.. Wyman's acknowl-
edging the justice of a different rate
to large consumers, the commission
would authorize Mr.. Wyman to make
such a rate as in the judgment Of the
company is justified. And, II when
the new schedule is adopted, Mr.. wy
man sees fit he may file an industrial
rate: if not, the commission will hold
the matter open, SO that it can ask
him questions as to whether or not
such schedule should be filed. The
commission has not been furnished
with the information concerning the
difference between the ordinary con-
sumer's rate and the industrial users
rate.
Mr.. Fogg thought that Mr.. wyman
did not recognize the necessity or ad-
visibility Of making a lower rate in
the case mentioned or any other
large user. He also thought that the
reduction to industrial users would
result in an increased rate to the or
binary users.
Chairman Cleaves said it was i'm
portant that the commission be fur
nished with information as regards
the difference between the cost Of
production and delivery to the large
industrial user and to the ordinary
consumer, therefore the matter was
left open for the appearance Of Mes
srs. Wyman and Flynt, and any 9TH
ers who may wish to appear. on

whose operations in this section of
the State will reach in the neigh

County Attorney Withee stated
Wednesday to the Messenger that he
was determined to spare no effort
to bring this man to justice and make
his example a warning to others who
might plan to come into the State
upon a similar mission.
The next regular session Of the
grand jury will not be held until
September 9th and if it is deemed
advisable to wait until the Septem-
Der term of court the matter will be
getting somewhat old. so that If a
special session of the grand jury is
advised by the State authorities it
will help greatly in concluding mat
ter which has been so long pending.
