any under the efficient management
of Mr.. l.. L. Richardson are maxi
improvements that will not only
mean a great labor saver, but they
are also preparing, within the next
sixty days to make a rough tex

of a gas system producer, which
will permit all the coal used being
fed at one point instead of being
carried, (often with half a shovelful
of water) to each individual fire.
Instead the manufactured gas will
be carried to the fires, ensuring a
regular and constant heat. With g
brick plant in town, our people
should build brick houses, which are
more comfortable and less liable to
go up in smoke and fame.

Washington, March G.-With another
failure tn ratify the peace treaty i'm
pending, Democratic senator's decided
yesterday to seek personal consulta-

to know definitely how far he would
go In endorsing II compromise. and ais"
to have clear understanding Of his
views Oh the treaty as Il campaign is

force 1t into politics.
Some Democrats were understood
also to wish to know what measures
the president would expect congress
to take to relieve the country from,
war status while Il decision at the
polls on the treaty was awaited.
The move for such conference.
Initiated long ago among some elp-
ments of the party in the senate, took
definite form when Senator Hitchcock
OF Nebraska. the administration leader.
sent a letter to the White House ask
ing that the president talk over the
senate situation with Senator Sim
mons Of North Carolina, in charge for
the Democratic side Of the new mOve-
ment to negotiate IL treaty compromise.
1t was indicated, however, that the.
appointment with Senator Simmons,
II one was arranged. would be only
preliminary to conference with Il
committee Of senators chosen to take
up with him the whole treaty prob
lem. In some quarters ii was init
mated that senators from both pOliti-
