DEMOCRATS ARE.
NEAR BREAK ON.
PEACE TREATY
Leaders Move for Caucus to Dis
cuss Advisability of Possi-
BILE Change in Policy.
REPUBLICANS HOPEFUL
Ratification With Reservations
Believed Possible by Anti
Administrations.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Possibilities
of substantial break in the Demo-
cratic peace treaty ranks in the senate
1mpelled influential Democratic sena-
tors to move today for a caucus to
discuss q possible change in the party
policy, and revived hopes of the Re-
publicans that the peace treaty might
yet be ratified with the Republican
reservations adopted at the last ses-
sion of congress.
On the Republican side it was as
serted are twenty-five Democrats, only
a dozen short of the number required
to insure the ratification, who had
signified willingness TO quit the lead
of President Wilson and take the Re-
publican reservation program as it is.
Administration chiefs said this total
was exaggerated, but they conceded
that a vote, if taken tomorrow, would
command more than the seven Demo-
cratic votes it got in November. Both
Republicans and Democrats realize,
however that the endeavor to break
down the Democratic resistance still
has a long way to go if it is to succeed.
1t was pointed out that only thirty
Republican votes are assured for rati-
fication with the original reservations,
which would require thlrty-four
Democratic votes added to make
sixty -four.

BRITISH ship
YARDS GAINING
LlOyds Register Shows Excess
in Tonnage Under Construc-
tiOn Over United States.

London, Feb. 23.-An analysis of
LlOyd's Register Returns for the quar-
ter ended December 81, made by the
American Chamber Of Commerce in
London. indicates that, for the first
time since the United States became a
shipbuilder on a large scale, British
shipyards show signs of regaining their
former supremacy
The tonnage now building in the
United Kingdom, says the American
chamber, exceeds by 2T732 tons that
ted States. where the decrease in the
building Of new tonnage amounts to
04,000 tons, as compared with the fig
ures for September last.
The American Chamber remarks that
the tonnage under construction may
not Re so good a basis for Judgment
as the amount Of tonnage actually
launched, and that the United States
is putting ships on the water quicker
than Great Britain.
The United States in 1919 construct
ed 4, 735, 100 tons as against Britain's S
/ .95f.7 .759 tons, but the horsepower rep
resented by the American ships was
only 2.59i2iO as against 3,209,040 of the
British. Britain is going in for high
power vessels, while the United States
is building more Of the tramp" class.
A review of world tonnage in course
of construction shows a decline OF
about $4,000 tons from the figures for
the September quarter.

SERUM SAVED
OLIVE VICTIM
Veterinary Scientists Produce
Preventative Against Olive
Strain Poisoning.

Washington, Feb. 23.-It was serum
prepared by veterinary scientists of
the Bureau of Animal Industry for ex-
perimental purposes in treating forage
poisoning of horses that saved the life
of Lena Delbane, after the other six
members of her family had died from
eating poisonous olives in New York
recently, according to the Department
of Agriculture. The serum was made
been immunized against baciullus bot
ulinus poisoning.
In investigating forage poisoning of
horses the bureau of Animal Industry
made extensive experiments with
serums and discovered there We're two
strains of bacillus botulinous- They
look alike and the poisons they create
produce the same effect, but immuni-
zation against one does not afford i'm
munization against the other. The
two strains are commonly known by
the government Investigators as "the
olive strain and "the cheese strain"
Three instances of olive poisoning, one
in Michigan, one in Ohio and the third
in Montana, were all caused by the
olive strain" The veterinarians, there
fore, Were reasonably certain that the
serum affording protection against the
poison generated by "the olive strain"
would be effective in the New York
cases. and 1t proved to be in the one
case where it could be given fair
trial

MUNITI0N CASE
IS DISMISSED
William J. Oliver and Nine CO.
Defendants Ordered ReleaS-
ed by Judge Mccall.

Knoxville, Tenn, Feb. 23.-The OIL
yer Munitions case came to a dramatic
end this morning, when the govern
ment dismissed the remaining charges
of sabotage against William j. Oliver
and nine co-defendants after Judge
John E. Mccall had directed the jury
to find a verdict of not guilty on the
charges of fraud and eleven of the
sabotage charges without a word of
testimony being given by the defense.
1T is nothing more than I expected"
said Mr.. Oliver, at the conclusion of
the case. 1T has been a hardship on
all of us, and l hope the press will
give my eXoneration as much publicity
as my arrest was given"
When the government entered it's
plea for dismissal on grounds of nolle
prosiqui, the defense argued for a
complete jury verdict of mot guilty"
Judge Mccall ruled that the govern
ment was within it's rights in dismiss
ing the case.
At the end of six days of testimony,
the government rested on Saturday af-
ternoon and announced it had stated
it's case. Thereupon counsel for the
defense made a motion for a directed
verdict on the ground that the gov
ernment had presented no evidence
that proved either Mr.. Oliver or his
company or employees, the nine CO.
defendants, were guilty on any count
of fraud or sabotage.
In directing a verdict in more than
half the counts, Judge Mccall said
the governments case had broken
down by the admission of its own wit
nesses, who must be believed, that they
had neither seen nor heard of any
intent to injure the government in it's
prosecution of the war.
1t was just before the armistice that
United States marshals backed up by
an array of deputies and a squadron
of cavalry from Fort OgletEorpe de-
scended upon the Oliver plant and ar
rested Mr.. Oliver and nine of his sup
erintendents and foremen on charges
that they had made defective shells
and had passed them off on the gov
ernment. There had been labor trouble
at that plant and since the day of his
arrest Mr.. Oliver has claimed he was
the victim of a frame up" by labor
agitators.
