was regarded as significant.
has DEFINITE
PROPOSAL TO MAKE.
Simmons said he was waiting word
from the whitehouse as to when the pres
idsnt might desire to receive him.
He said he had concrete proposition"
to submit to the president, it being the
desire of the democratic side TO know
from the president whether he was still
unTislding in his original determination
to pocket" the treaty unless the Lodge

ed gondly for the resolution, which reads:
{ THE United States understands that the

tious or for the purpose Of carrying out
any Of the treaty provisions without the
authorization of d congressional appro-
priation.
A definite move to end debate on the
peace treaty on the peace treaty Is es1-
pected to be made IN the senate tomor-
row, it was indicated by senator's today.
It may be done through a motion TO
recommit the treaty to the foreign rela-
lions committee, thus getting 1t out Of
the senate, or by bringing mp ATticio

the core Of the whole matter. The de-
bate long ago passed from the high
plane of parliamentary procedures ant

conducts its deliberations.

Above all, let there he no talk of

the return of men to safer. surer

only TO explored and established goals.

county Jail, where he was placed in

and the calmest inmate in the history
of that row, the police said
1t was expected that during the
day the two murder indictments
against Wanderer, voted Monday. by a
grand jury, would be returned before
Chief Justice Grove of the criminal
court.
The prisoner spent most of the day
reading half dozen prayer books
and Bibles, which were brought to him
by his father, and his sisters, whom he
saw for the first since he was placed
under arrest.
The former army lieutenant, who
slew his wife and a man whom he had
hired to be ON hand so he could be
killed and branded as highwayman
