WILSON FORCES
START DRIVE TO
KILL TREATIES
Democratic Senators Receive
Letters Urging Them to Vote
Against Ratification.
WADOO~ BACK OF MOVE

WASHINGTON. Oct. PA hard. elev-
enth-hour drive" against ratification of
the German. Austrian and Hungarian
peace treaties was started today by the
element in the Democratic party repre-
scented by former President Wilson and
his son-in law, former Secretary Of the
Treasury William G. McAdoo.
The attention of every Democratic
, Senator was directed to the stand taken
against q separate peace between the
United States and the central powers as
one that would brand US with ever
lasting dishonor" in the Democratic ma
tional platform of 1920.
Senator Glass Of Virginia, leader Of the
pro- Wilson forces on the Democratic side
Of the Senate wrote the League Of Ma
lions plank in that platform, after con-
sultation with Mr.. Wilson, In which the
Democratic party was pledged to ratifca-
ton Of the Versailles treaty, and against
the Knox resolution and a separate peace.
Democratic Senators were reminded Of
this pledge in communications they re-
ceived from leaders Of the WilsonMc-
AdoO element, and were told they would
work more political harm than good for
their party by voting with the Repub-
lican side for ratification.
A canvass Of the Democratic side has
disclosed that q majority of Democratic
Senators refuse to follow the leadership
of Senator Underwood OF Alabama,
Hitcock of Nebraska, and POmerene of
Ohio, and vote for ratification.
The Wilson McAdoo Senators do not
claim to have enough votes yet to block
ratification, but one of their spokesman
predicted that enough Democrats would
vote against ratification to cause chills
to run up and down the backbone Of Re
publican leadership"
1t is believed, however, by the Re-
publican leaders, that a sufficient num-
Der of Democratic Senators will vote for
ratification to insure the two-thirds vote
essential TO it. Only three or four Re-
publican Senators, including BOrah OF
Idaho, are expected to vote against it.

COURT GOES AFTER
SUPPORT MONEY
Holds Husband in Contempt
if They Don't Pay.

Complaints by women that their hus-
bands or ex-husbands are heavily deIin-
quent in regard to support orders, have
become so frequent the past few weeks
in Superior Court, room 8, that Judge
7. J. Moll. Of that court, has concluded
that those who are under orders Of court
to provide support for their wives and
children. and especially the latter, should
be publicly and generally advised that
disobedience of such orders constitutes
contempt Of court, punishable by fine or
Jail sentence.
Only in the most deserving cases will
defense be allowed to prevail in such
instances" Judge MOu said. THE higher
courts hare decided that so long as
husband and father is delinquent he can
not secure a modification of the order
Consequently If he desires to have the
instalment payments reduced the april
cant must be in good standing at the
time he applies therefor. If a man
against whom such an order exists Is
thrown opt OF employment, or has his
wages reduced or has a continued Ill
ness, he should submit such excuse to
the court at once and ncI wait until he Is
cited for contempt In disobeying the
order. 1t ordinarily will be too late then
to urge such an excuse"

IMPORTANT MATTERS FOR

Charter (the Corstitution) OF
Richmond, is rlade the head of
the City police force, and con-
servator of public peace, and
charged with the enforcement OF
the law in the tEtv-eXpressed in
Statute and Ordinance. This Mr..
Mitchell did when he was for
merly Mayor of Richmond and
we are satisfied he will again do
so as its Mayor; and also, as he
formerly did, will cause to be
discharged the legal duty inCum-
bent on the Council, of having
the proper official reports made
monthly and quarterly, disclosing
the financial condition of the City
its income and the disburse-
ments of City funds. Every tax
payer (man and woman) wants
to and ought to know about
! these matters, and it is the re-
! quirement of he law that sucf
information BE made public.
In addition to his general quail
ifications for the office, Mr.
Mitchell is not seeking the offic'
as sideline in his affairs on life
and judging the future by tn
past, he will see that every Cit.
official comes up to the full mea
/ sure of the duties appertaining f
