COMPROMISE IS DOUBTFUL
Move Will Be Made to Bring Debate
to Speedv End.


Washington.-The move to. bring
President Wilson actively into the
peace treaty compromise negotiations
got such a setback at the White
House that the irr%econcilable senate
opponents of ratification again pro-
nounced the treaty dead and gave
notice that they would move to bring
the debate speedily to an end. 1t was
not revealed whether the president
would grant the requested conference
that Senator Simmons of North Caro-
lima, representing the senate Demo-
Gratis. in a final effort at compromise
but the White House officials init
mated that they thought further eff
forts to inquire the presidents views
would be superfluous.
The development caused uncon-
cealed disappointment among the Re-
publican aud Democratic senator's
working for an eleventh-hour compro-
mise, but it did not put a stop to their
negotiations. Some on both sides
openly declared the only course left
was to go ahead with the effort at
agreement, and then, if a ratification
we're accomplished, let the president
decide afterward whether he would
accept or reject it.
Among the irreconcilables. however,
it confidently vas asserted that no
agreement V could be reached on
such an uncertain basis, and that if
the declaration of the White House
officials reflected the views of the
president, further delay Of the ratif-
cation vote was only time wasted.

fered considerable damage to his car
yesterday, when it smashed into the
side of q we'll loaded furniture truck
coming from Burlington. The side OF
Mr.. Hartness' car, a new Chalmers, was
crushed in many places, and ripped to
pieces in others. The accident took
place a short distance this side of Rich
mond. From details that can be picked
up it appears that the road was ex'
tremely narrow at that point, and
both machines were taking as much
pains as possible to keep clear OF each
other. The Chalmers had almost passed
the truck, when it slid into the atter's
rear. Although the car was not gong
with exceptional force, the impact
against the heavier body caused con
siderable damage. No one in either
machine was hurt. Before the locked
machines had been separated Ford
rounded the turn short distance
away, and seeing that it could not
stop without hitting the machines in
front, chose TO climb pole instead.
No one of the party in this machine
received more than bad shaking up,
though the Ford was badly crushed
The truck was being driven by Harold
F. Drake at the time of the accident,
and contained load OF furniture hound
for store in Springfield, Mass. Frank
f. Doyle was another worker on the
truck at the time.

Vermont state osteopathic convention
held in the offices of DR.. L. d. Martin
in Barre yesterday. By means Of spe'
cial embalming, the process, which
Professor Halliday discovered year
ago. he is able to retain the elasticity
of the ligaments, as in life, and prove
the truth of osteopathic theories. The
action of death and embalming fluids
bring rightly to the human frame, so
that heretofore this demonstration has
been impossible. DR.. Halladay's spe'
cimens were features of the recent ma
tional convention at Chicago. At the
meeting in Barre yesterday there was
no election of officers, the time being
given up TO the demonstration by Pro
lessor Halliday.
