Agreement To Vote On
Peace Pact October IA
or Is Being Drafted
NO DELAY LIKELY
Democrats Decide Not To Make
Party Issue of Question Nor 10
Obstruct Action.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Ratifica-
ton by the Senate in fortnight OF
the Administration peace treaties
with Germany, austria and Hun
gary loomed as u prospect tonight
after Republican and Democratic
leaders had discussed a proposed
unanimous consent agreement draft
ed by Senator Lodge. the Republi-
can leader, to take the final votes
October Ia or Is. Both expressed
hopes of obtaining a formal order
Of the Senate tomorrow providing
for such a program and all factions
expressed the opinion that the agree
ment would be reachd.
Announcement OF the negotiations
was made in the Senate late TODAY
by Senator Lodge, and with the
discussions showing evidences OF
success the Republicans dropped
:nelr plan for night session asst
night. Senator Lodge intimated,
however, that should the agreement
be blocked he would return to the
night session drive for ratification
hlr. Lodge said he had every rea-
scnable hope" of reaching an agree
rcnt and Senator Underwood, the
Democratic leader, also said an
agreement had been practically
reached" and was ready for con-
summation tomorrow.
Involved in the program is a pro-
Dcsal that should any Senator desire
to debate the treaties, the Tax Re-
vision bill would be laid aside tenn.
porarily. 1t is expected. however,
that the tax measure actually w!ll
be before the Senate most OF next
week, with the following week
largely devoted to the treaties.
The movement for voting agree
ment developed today in a confer
ence of Democratic Senators, who
declared unanimously against the
Republican plan for night sessions
and authorized overtures by Sena-
tor Underwood to the Republicans
for voting agreement. The Demo
Gratis reaffirmed their stand against
making ratification party question
and left each Senator free to vote as
he shall determine.

agreed to give way to the treaties,
stating he believed it would operate
actually to expedite his measure.
The only address in the Senate on
Tie treaties, today was by Senator
Watson. Democrat. Georgia. who
opposed ratification because he said
nc believed they would drag United
States into the League of Nations
and European entanglements. Ever
since President Harding's lnaugu-
ration, Senator Watson, declared,
the nation has been drifting ire
sistibly" into the League.

BOTH YEAR--NO. 36.
[. & N. CONTINUES SUMMER
TRAIN SERVICE ALL WINTER

The Louisville and Nashville Rail-.
road will continue the summer
schedules of coast trains through
the winter, is announced by the Gen.
eral Passenger Agent, J. X. Ridgely
The decision of the company not
to discontinue any of their trains
was brough about by numerous re-
quests from persons who wanted to
live on the Gulf Coast on account of
the shortage of houses in New Or
leans.
Mr. Ridgely said from the number
of inquiries his office had received
he was sure there will be a large
colony of New Orleans people on
the coast for the winter. Under the
schedules now in operation three
coast point trains are operated for
those who wish to come into New
Orleans in the morning and return
in the afternoon. Leaving the city,
trains depart at 3 80, a 900 and $40
p. m. Arriving in the city 1885: $50
and $50 a. m. There are other
coast trains leaving in the forenoon
and returning to New Orleans in the
afternoon.
This announcement will meet with
unusual approval in Bay st. Louis.
If all the owners of rent houses will
modernize and improve their hold
ings there should not be a vacant
house in Bay ST. Louis the coming
winter season. Better travelling fa-
cilities means also permanent citizen
ship and is an incentive to home
buying.

MRS. w. L. BOURGEOIS HEADS
NEW CEMETERY ASSOCIATION.

The up-keep and care of Cedar
Rest Cemetery, in Second street, has
passed from the City of Bay St.
Louis, owner, to the active care of a
Cemetery Association, which has
been organized with Mrs. W. L.
Bourgeois as the active head.
Already the association has quite
a large membership and the work of
putting the "city of the dead" in
shape has begun, and the results are
marked.
In consideration of $50 per an
mum, paid by the city to the associa-
ton, the latter, with the collection
of it's monthly membership fees, will
all care of Cedar Rest. The differ
ent paths and lanes will be kept
of once a year (of All Saintso as
has been the custom heretofore, and
which obtains in other cemeteries,
and to say the least strikes US as a
reflection and an evidence of dis
respect to the memory of those who
have gone before. Yet Cedar Rest
has been a free cemetery, no source
of revenue whatever, and the city,
under the circumstances, has done its
best, and very well at that.
The Echo wishes to commend
those who have formed the cemetery
association and who are in charge
of the work, and the already trans
formed appearance of the place is
noteworthy.

OFFICIAL REPORT OF
WAVELAND CHURCH FAIR

In a personally conducted drive to
raise $4,000 the amount of the debt
On St. Clare's Church, Waveland,
the Rev. Father Costello ''went over
the top" Father Costello, believing
that it was possible to do two things
at the same time, while helping to
make arrangements for the annual
fair ,at the same time, started out
alone on two days drive to get
$4,000.
With the fair, however, he was
ably assisted by the ladies who had
charge of the various booths.
The Misses Grace, at the candy
table surpassed all expectations.
Mrs. Creel and Mrs. Farrar, who
had charge of the cake and punch
tables took all they got and little
more.
Mrs. Rood and Mrs. Chalon fed
the hungry, but made them pay for
it.
Mrs. McHugh and Mrs. Delsa were
generous with their ice cream, ex-
cept they forgot to fill the bottom
of the cone.
Mrs. Grace took the orders for the
tickets, delivered the goods and got
paid. This perhaps, accounts for the
fact that, the weather was not alto
gether favorable, especially on Sun
day night, still the receipts so far,
have advanced beyond the standard
set last year.
This, is a surprise, as according
to "The Prophets" failure seemed
to doom either the drive or the fair,
both, however, went on side by side
smoothly, and each is now rejoicing
that the other went over the top.
The payment of the $500 ex-
tends over period of. three years.
In the meantime, Father Costello,
through the proceeds of the fair,
will have ample funds to meet the
interest, SO that the future of Wave
land, as successful parish, is al
ready assured.
Thanks are due the ladies who
worked so hard to make the fair a
success, and likewise to those who
pledged themselves to free their
church of so large a debt in so short
a time.
