TREATY SHOWDOWN
COMING TOMORROW
Treaty's Bipartisan Conference
Postponed-Seek to Avoid
Senate Floor Fight
STILL SEE RAY OF HOPE
BY the Associated Press

Washington. Jan. Negotiations
between Democratic and Republican
leaders of the Senate who apparently
have approached deadlock on the peace
treaty compromise will not be resumed
until tomorrow. the meeting of the
bipartisan committee planned for today
having been postponed because of the
absence of Senator Lenroot, of Wiscon-
sin. one of the Republican leaders.
There were indications that some
senator's on each side welcomed the
delay and there were many conferences
during the day to perfect plans for the
committee meeting which may bring
final showdown on the question of
continuing the negotiations.
There was much discussion of what
course friends of the treaty should take
if the bipartisan negotiations ended
without an agreement. Senator Hitch
cock, of Nebraska. the administration
leader, has told the Republicans that
in such an eventuality he proposed to
move to take up the treaty in the open
Senate, but he said today he would not
do that until all hope of compromise by
private negotiation discussion had dis :
appeared.
Meantime it developed that some
Democratic senator's were inclined to
IHe peIlel tndJ uOInlDS WOulu pe gained
by throwing the treaty back into the
Senate in the near future. These sena =
tors disagreed with Senator Hitchcock
that a majority would be certain to
support such a move, while among Re-
publicans it was confidently predicted
that it would fail.
1t was suggested that should the uu :
official bipartisaE committee come to Il
final deadlock an effort might be made
TO put through the resolution of Senator
Underwood. Democrat. Alabama. tc
create an official conciliation committee
of ten senator's.
The titular party leaders on bot
sido~. however. indicated that they saw
little hope of securing an agreement
by that course. Such a committee. they
said, would have to include representa- :
tiveS Of virtually the same elements as
now mako up the unofficial body.
Both factions are known to be seek
iug to draw the fight to a close. so that
peace might be proclaimed before tho
presidential campaign reaches its stride
Pessimism, however, perneates the
inner circles of the conferces who pro

bridging the abyss created by the dis

and the Monroe Doctrine All of the
other points of contention have beer

for the party chiefs to bury their

FIRE R0UTs 200 STUDENTS

Flames In Dornltory

Allentown, Pa, Jan. 29.--Two hun
dred Muhlenberg students were routed
from their beds at . o'clock this morn
ing by fire of unknown origin in the
basement Of the ,dormitories. Mary
leaped from the second floor dormitories
and several from the third floor. One
student. Samuel Berger, was injured
in his leap from the third floor. The
fire reached the second floor before the
firemen had it under control. ".
Herbert Reinartz, student, discov-
cred the blaze and turned in an alarm.
Meantime other students were aroused
by the smoke ard thinly clad many
only in their night clothes, they escaped
by the nearest exits, dozens leaping from
the windows on the second floor.
Once outside it didn't take the stu
dents long to organize a bucket brigade,
but by the time the firemen arrived the
flames, famed by brisk and chilly
north wird, had gained considerable

that all party has to do is to open its
shop, display its wares and wait for
customers.
Mr.. Hays mas a different idea, and
that is TO go out on the road and sell
the goods, Mr.. Hays has been on the
road most of the time since he became
chairman. The old insiders whisper
about the scandal of his railroad and
hotel bills.
Never writes letter. they say,
when he can possibly take a train. y"
He is selling his party to the "nun'"v.
Well, this III is vast new selling or
ganisation. Nobody whose name d,r .rl, $
on the front pages of the papers OF tho
entire country but will take the road
and join in selling the Republican goods,
Mr.. Hays'S wares. to the people.
Best Thought of Nation
They may not have anything to do
with writing the platform. Probably
they won't. Out of the III will be
formed small committee. This small
committee will confer without vast effect
with b. PCurose. Il. Smoot and NJ.
Crane Out of it all will come some
thing.
Presumably it will come in time for
discussion in the press before the con
vention meets. When the convention
meets everybody will have aired his
views. Every editor in this broad land
will have said his say. Every member
OF the III will have thought deeply and
long.
The convention will have vast mass
of the best thought of the land before
it. Instead of the platform being writ
ten secretly in a hurry by the old hands
at platform making, it will grow like
Topsy. No wonder the mcu who used
to do the job themselves are scornful
of methods that will rob them Of their
jobs.
Besides Mr. Hays made" all the
front pages. There is one days biz
publicity for his party. There will be
moro days publicity in this thing. And
for a man who has now II party to sell
to the voters to hit unon Il big publicity
scheme is stroke of near genius.

MAYOR GOES AFTER
CITY CONTRACTORS
viii Bring Prompt Action
against Street Clean
ing Men

CITY streets are still in deplor-
able condition, according to Mayor
Moore. As a result, prompt action is
to be taken against the delinquent
street cleaning contractors, and heavy
fines will be imposed, with possible
cancellation of contracts.
Decision to go after the contrac-
tors tooth and nail was reached today
at conference in the Mayors office
between Mayor Moore, City Solicitor
Smyth, the official in charge of cou
tracts: Director Winston, of the De-
partment oc Public Works, the man
with power to levy the fines. and Di-
rector Furbush, whose dictum that
dirty streets mean disease and ceath,
gives point to the fight.
With the conference closed, Mayor
Moore said New methods Of street
cleaning inspection are being worked
prompt and decisive action against the
crring contractors will follow the meet
ing.
Mayor Moore had just completed q
tour of the downtown wards before hi
there. he said, lis still deplorable, -
Matters generally, be said, are fal
from satisfactory in the street clean
ing situation. Fourth street, from
Spruce to Christian. was looked ovel
carefully. 1t was described as having
been particularly bad. West Phila
delphia is little better, it is said!
State Senator Edwin II. Ware is the
contractor for southern and centra
Philadelphia, while the West Phils
delphia contractors are Cunningham &
Murray and James Irwin.
The new street inspection methods
being devised are expected to put ar
end to political favoritism. and to make
certain a proper report on work done
by the contractors.

Have You Got The Spirit? '

The Arcadia Chamber Of Commerce
has met, recognized, resolved and
started all over again.
The purpose of reorganization as
setforth in the meeting is to exemplify
to everybody, everywhere, in the most
forcible terms the Arcadia Spirit"
The Arcadia Spirit" as we term it is
the spirit Of prOgressiveness, the spirit
Of public pride, the spirit of loyalty
and good citizenship 1t could also be
explained as having the same mean
Ing as the spirit that caused Kansas
City, the metropolis of the middle-west,
to reach out with her mighty arms
and grasp opportunity, upon which she
thriyed and grew, until eventually some
of the nearby towns, that were older
and apparently better established, be-
came the suburbs of that fine city. And
1t can be still further explained as the
same spirit that has caused Detroit,

AND STILL IT'S TIE CAPE
BY Freak Of Fashion, the Once Popu
lar Garment Now Is Playing Re-
turn Engagement.

81 am going to have summer eve
ming cape Of rose-cOlored kumsi'
kumsa," declared a pretty girl at the
silk counter. "And I'm not going to
line it-just let it float. This will
make three capes I'm taking away with
me for the summer"
BY all of which, one knows that no
wrap is 80 stylish this summer as the
cape.
Just about a year ago Dame Fashion
announced dolmans for spring OF
course, everyone bought dolmans. In
less than three months everyone was
sorry. The dolman faded from the
fashion picture. And then at about
the point where you had yours ripped
apart and made into a sure enough
coat, along comes the dOlman and cape
decree again.
The wraps of this year are not SC
different from those first ones of last
spring, except that there are more
varieties of the wrap, which is neither
cape nor coat. They are fasci
mating in their possibilities, and the
very incest thing that could happen
for summer wearing. Many are sleeve
less, having Sits for the hands, while
others do not even have Sits, MOI
fastenings, but are meant to be held
closely about one.
All materials are being used fO!
these stylish new wraps. Navy blu,
serge and tric0t are popular, and al
ways look conservative, no matter
what the cut. Bolivia cloth fashions
many, as do duyetyn and yelOurs. Silk
are very good for the summer wrap
and one sees knee-length and taperiny
ankle-Iength wraps of heavy satin
crepe de chine, and shorter anes ..
taffeta.

ito grow and prosper until it has aston
IiShcd the W0lrd.
We can hardly predict that Arcadia
can ever grow in number Of popula-
ItiOn or size to equal the above cities,
but we do predict that if every citizen
in Arcadia and surrounding community
Twill get the Arcadia Spirit that our
prosperity and growth will be equally
as great in proportion to the size Of
The territory from which our resources
come.
Fortunately our town is placed upon
the peak Of the highest hill in the
State Of Louisiana, atfOrding us the
advantage Of a high and healthful
climate. The country around about us
is broken, giving us hills and valleys
and Il variety Of soil, which with the
long seasons makes possible a diyerSi
fled crop. AS to our town, it's a good
one. One of the best high schools III
the state, good churches and good peo
lple. We also have to be proud of, a
water and light system that cannot be
excelled anywhere, and eQualled in but
ew places We have good banks, good
doctors, good lawyers, good merchants
and the other fundamentals upon which
a city of permanency is builded.
In the past few years the I'm
possible" has been accomplished time
after time, and we can't believe that
we have a man, woman or child in
this town that will adopt the slogan,
Il can't and 90 about with pail Of
cold wafer to dash upon every blaze
of public welfare and social and moral
progress. But, on the other hand we
do believe that the efforts Of all our
people can be combined to make Ar
cadia a better place to live, and to
bring into our midst more good people
and more good substantial business
men, and there are many who are look
ing for just such place to locate.
The appeal comes from the citizen
ship Of Arcadia that you become
preacher or teacher Of the Arcadia
Spirit"
