Delaware Senator's Arguments Po-

| Washington Correspondent
Washington. Feb. ll.-Senator Lodge
is declared To have made somc substantial
concessions regarding reservations on the
League of Nations and it is thought he Is
ready to go still farther. 1t was thought
at first that the unofficial bipartisan COM
mittee, of which Senator Wolcott Of
Delaware was n conspicuous member,
had really accomplished nothing. it now
transpircs, however. that it did really
reach agreements on a number OF the dis
putcd reservations.
One of Senator Wolcott's friends said
today Senator Wolcott had done good
service on the bipartisan committee and
had given valuable aid in reaching tenta-
tive agreements which IT is believed will
finally be adopted by the Senate. The
Democrats on the committee accomplish
cd what was thought at first to be an
impossible task They succeeded IN induc-
ing Senator Lodge to take the view that
the reservations of the majority of the
foreign relations committee did not neces-
sarily express his own final judgment on
the matter.
The assent of Senator Lodge To a change
in the preamble is regarded as a step tre-
mendously IN advance. The preamble,
which required the affirmative consent of
the Allies to the reservations, is SO changed
that this feature is eliminated. IT the
Senator were TO insist that it remain UNI
changed it would be difficult To promul
gate the Treaty before probably mid
summer. But il may now be proclaimed
as soon as the Senate ratifies it.
Senator Wolcott had much to do with
changing Senators on the other side,
said n friend of the Delaware man. His
quiet arguments were SO convincing as to
command the greatest respect, and when
reinforced by Others they become invinci-
BILE. How the impression got abroad that
the committee disbanded without ac-
complishing anything II is difficult for
me 20 understand"
II is not expected by the most ardent
champions of the Treaty that It will get
through the Senate without fight. The
chief difficulty In connection with a pos
sible compromise is the uncertainty of
President Wilson's position. IL is under
stood however, the President is ready TO
yield something but how much nobody
appears To be in a position TO even guess.

Washington, Feb. ti.---Owners of the
damaged land over which War Depart
ment railway was built from Mount
Pleasant to Port Penn, in New Castle
county, Delaware will soon receive COM
pensation for their losses, Representative
Caleb X. Layton said today. DIR. Layton
SAID the appropriation FOR the relief OF
the Delaware citizens WAS strongly favored
both by tho claims committee and the
committee Of expenditures in the. War
Department and he understood Secretary
Baker was quite ready. when appropriate
legislation was adopted TO pay the claims.
Secretary Baker, it was stated, would
pay the claims now, but bill passed last
July is so interpreted by the legal depart
mcnt of the War Department as To stop
him from paying over the money. DIR.
Layton takes issue with tho War Depart
ment on this matter. He points 10 the
fact that the property was duly condemned
by the Federal court and taken over by
the War Department The land was
destroyed for agricultural purposes and
n railway built 60 the place whore the
government was engaged in the manu-
fact,ire of munitions of war.
"rhe Secretary, it appears, thinks the
bill passed last July, which forbids the
acquisition by the War Department of
new property and now sites without the
authorization Of Congress, applies TO the
Delaware matter" said DIR. Layton.
This is an erroneous view, because that
bill WAS passed after the land IN question
was acquired and long after Delaware
citizens had assessed the damages.

waiting for the enactment of special legis-

About 900, according TO the esti-
mate by Delaware citizens, is due the

over by the War Department and made
useless for agricultural purposes. There
is no opposition to the payment of this
money in either OF the committees Of the

water was pumped by means of the
engine from the river into the cistern
at Second street, repumped into tn At
at Fifth street and pumped again into
the Eighth avenue cistern- The work
was repeated to fill the Fifth street
cistern. Then the hole at Second
street was filled and Topeka was ready
for a fire.
But the fire department was not so
slow as it might seem. During an ex-
hibition demonstration, William fired
up the engine, it was run several
blocks and a stream of water was
being thrown. all within two and one
half minutes.

quick on the draw.
In 1872 Williams returned to his
farm for a season. then went to Colo
RADIO. From there he went on to
California by wagon, but in a year was
called back to Topeka by the death of
his father. He then ran his wagon
shop again at various points in the
city until 1897. when he returned to
Colorado and later to California. He
has been living in the latter state ever
since.
Ferry Crossed Kaw Then.
During Williams's time in Topeka
the ferry across the Kaw river was
one Of the notable institutions. 1t
was operated at the foot of Jackson
street. There was an island in the
middle of the river. where the scows
landed, coming across from the north
bank. Sometimes the water was so
low that wagons could ford it. This
was the crossing point for wagon
trains going to Santa Fe and other
southwestern points. Williams's

him ran the ferry for years.

Senator Charles Curtis.
Louis Papan, a full-blooded French
man, married a Kaw half-breed girl.
To them was born Ellen Papan, who
was married to Jack Curtis, white
man. Their son was the future SEN
ator. This is the genealogy of the
Curtis family, according to Wiiliams.
Built First Hearse Here.
Williams built the first hearse, fol-
lowing the opening of the Topeka
cemetery. The first child to be buried
in the cemetery was that of Williams
sister. Mrs. DIETRICH
The first city election which VIII
