ARE in DEADLOCK
Bi-Partisan Conference Put OFF
Until Tomorrow.
Many Senators Say Party Lead
ers Are Killing Time.
DEMOCRAT LEADER CONFIDENT
Split Between Lodge and Irrec-
Oncilables Helps Plan.
To Give Ten Days Notice When
Calls for Vote.
DEMOCRAT LEADER CONFIDENT

Washington, Jan. 2e.-Negotiations
between Democratic and Republican
leaders Of the senate who apparently
have approached a deadlock on the
peace treaty compromise, will not be
resumed until tomorrow. the meeting
of the bipartisan committee planned
Tor today having been postponed be-
cause of the absence of Senator Len
root Of Wisconsin, one of the Repub-
lican leaders.
There were indications that some
senator's on each side welcomed the
delay and there were many confer
ences during the day to perfect plans
for the committee meeting which may
bring final showdown on the ques-
ton of continuing the negotiations.
In view of the revolt of irreconcila-
ble Republicans and Senator Lodges
firm stand against changing his res
ervatfon on Article x and the Monroe
doctrine, the general view is the con-
ferees will be wasting time if they con-
tinue to meet.
II the meeting is the last. Sen
Gtor Hitchcock probably will give no.
tice that ten days hence he will move
TO take up the treaty in the open sem
ate for general debate.
Hitchcock said today he plans to
give ten days notice so all senators
will have an opportunity to be on
hand.
Hitchcock Has Reservations.
When the time comes, Hitchcock
said. he will simply. move to proceed
TO consideration of the treaty He is
confident. he said. that a majority of
the senate will support that motion.
In voting to take up the treaty, SEN
ators will not, of course, be Oledging
themselves to any particular set of
reservations, but only helping to get
things moving.
Hitchcock said he plans to present a
program of reservations as tentatively
agreed upon by the bipartisan con-
ferees before the conferences were in
terrupted. and as exclusively described
yesterday by the United Press.
This he said. will furnish basis to
start working from.
Hitchcock said he will Ego to the
senate with the treaty" in preference
to supporting the Underwood resolu-
ton for a conciliatory committee If
the bipartisan conferences fell.

HULL'S ELOQUENCE
WINS APPROPRIATION

One of the most unusual appropria-
lions ever made by the quarterly court
was made on Monday when $95 was
voted to an old negro of the second
district whose horse was killed be-
cause of hole in the bridge over
Knob creek. Squire Hull brought the
matter to the attention of the court
and urged payment, but Judge Whit.
thorne, County Attorney Hugh Todd
Shelton and others declared that the
county was under no legal liability
whatever for the payment of damages
for the loss of a horse. although such
loss might be due to the neglect of
its agents and servants. Thereupon
SQUIRE Hull moved that charity ap-
preparation be made for the ninety
five dollars and this was passed by an
almost unanimous vote. II looked
when the case first came before the
court that there was no chance for it.
but Mr. Hull's eloquence quickly melt
ed the opposition.

COUNTY RAISED
BY A HUGE sum
STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZERS
CERTIFiES NEW EASEMENT
TO WEBB VILLAINS.
OPEN FOR INSPECTION MONDAY
Assesson invites the People of the
County to Call at His Office and See
How Their Property Has Been Val
ued by the State.

Tax Assessor Webb Williams today
received from the state board of equal
iZers the assessment made upon Mau.
ny county by that board for the cur
rent year.. The rolls have not been
totalled either by districts or for the
county but Assessor Williams stated
that he would get busy on the job at
once and make the aggregate without
delay
These rolls showing the assessment
upon all of the property of the county
will be in Columbia on Monday Mr..
Williams stated, and they can be in
spected by the taxpayers of the coun-
ty.
Mr.. Williams made the following
statement
Il want the people of the county to
see the tax lists. They are vitality con.
cerned and will have the entire list
at my, office in the court house Mon
day and for several days the coming
week for inspection There are some
startling changes made in the assess
ment of property of the county.
have found many francis of land that
have been. assessed at five and even
six times as high as the former as
sessment There are very few tracts
so far as my examination has gone
that have found at less than four
times the former valuation.
There are farms that are assessed
for as much as $4,000 above the price
a which they sold in 1918. OF course
if these assessments stand there will
have to be tremendous cut in the
tax rate or the taxes in Maury county
will amount almost to confscation
am sure that some assessments are
entirely too high and want the tax
payers to know it, - .,
