ed by Senator Hitchcock Senator Mccormick requested that the two "be printed in juxtaposition," in view of reports that they are agreed on the treaty.
 No debate developed, and only on one other occasion during the day was there mention on the senate floor of the treaty or the Jackson Day de- velopments. That was when Sena- tor Walsh of Massachusetts, reser- vation democrat, put in a letter from President Lowell of Harvard, asking that the democrats show a willingness to compromise Article Ten. Hitherto an advocate of unreserved ratification, Dr. Lowell wrote that he was con vinced that Article Ten imposed ob- jectionable obligations.
 MT. Bryan did not tarry long in Washington, leaving early in the day for Lincoln. Neb., where he will speak Monday. He will deliver an address in New York January IS. So far as was learned he did not confer with democratic leaders here befre his de- parture.
 The cabinet met in it's regular ses- sion today, but if the members dis cussed the split between the president and Mir. Bryan on the treaty isue or MT. Wilson's stand they would not admit
 Democratic leaders did not attempt however. to minimize the effect that the split between the president and his former secretary of state might have both at the convention and at the polls in November if it should be carried that far. They recalled the dominant role MT. Bryan played al the Baltimore gathering when MT Wilson first was nominated and wniie the convention time is yet in the distance, some of them, at least, look forward to stirring events in San Francisco.
 Many Of the democratic leaders whc who gathered here for the Jackson Day deliberations left today for theil homes. Chairman Homer $.

washington, Jan. s-The fortunes of the treaty of Versailles became even more unsettled today when, on top Of President Wilson's Jackson Day proncuncement for taking the ques- ticS to the people in the political cam pzign, and William Jennings Bryan's opposition to such a course, demo- cratic and republican friends of the senate renewed determinedly their effort to secure a compromise ratifica- ton.
 Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the acting democratic leader. said he did not regard the presidents declaration as calculated to cut off any reasona- ble compromise and predicted ratifi cation before the campaign was under way. The mild reservation group of republicans took much the same view, and the group of democrats, who have been urgent in their demand for a compromise declared their position was in no way altered.
 Discussion of compromise reserva- ticns accordingly went forward as ac- lively as before, q conference being arraged on the republican side to take up in detail the set or reservations suPbmitted recently by Senator Ken drick Of Wyoming and other demo- crats. IL was said a counter proposal might be drawn up within a few days.
 Among the treaty's irreconcible foes, tine presidents stand and the state meRt last night of Senator Lodge of Msssa chusetts, the republican senate leader. that he would most cordially welcome the treaty as political is sue. were hailed as having definitely put the question into the campaign.
 h announcing the compromise plans would go ahead. Senator Hitchcock said that of course the democrats could not agree to any compromise vitaiiy inpairing the treaty. and that there would be an endeavor to work out such reservations as the president could accept. Some other democrats were not so emphatic on that point, however, declaring privately that they would take the best compromise they could get and then put the respousi- bility straight up to the White House.

regulate the industry.
 To this testimony the commissioner edded a critical analyis of statements and motives of witnesses who have opposed packer regulation.
 The first instance the commissioner
 said of the frame -up,'' had resulted
 in the arrest of Rafael Mallen, a
 former clerk for the trade commission,
 in raids directed last week at Chicago Communist centers by the department of justice. H. J. c. Claybaugh, head of the secret service at Chicago, and his assistant, "a man named Barry" Colver said, both of whom have since
 resigned, were responsible and Bar ry now was a Special agent" for Swift and Company. Mallen was later
 released.
 Johann OIlsol, another employe of the commission, Colver said, was ar | rested in a Washington hotel during
 the present week. while on a visit to s. 1 Nuorteva, having been pointed out to police officers as Martens, who is be- | ing sought by the secret service. 1 Reading an alleged claim of Nuorteva and Martens that purchase of large
 meat supplies from an unnamed Chi 1 cago packer had been arranged with 1 the object of getting it into Russia 1 through the allied blockade. Colver said he considered this connection be- l w -AAACehl PelNhOAo anu lllS SON4I representatives 'signifed' as it con
 cerned Ohsors arrest, especially since l the latter had been taken into custo- i dy when he came to see Nuorteva in
 answer to a specific telephone call | Reverting to the agreement prepared by Attorney General Palmer in con cluding the Sherman law prosecutions against the packers, Colver said that merely settled the Sherman law phase of the matter"
 i Separation of the packers from 1 their grocery holdings, however, as in
 the case of the transfer by Wilson and | Company of it's grocery business to
 Austin-Nicholls Company of New 1 York, a wholesale grocer he assert l ed, merely means that the stock holders of Wilson and Company have 1 added the Austin Nichols concern to

 l. Principals incorporated in the set 1 tlement decree. he urged, should be worked out in legislation and ampii- 1 fed.
 To show that the consumer was not getting any benefit from lowevr live 1 stock prices, Colver presented a di-
 ayram showing that on August l, l when live hogs sold at 23 cents a
