SENATE TO MAKE WAR
ON PEACE TREATIES;
TAX BILL MUST WAIT
Opposition Becomes a
Certainty During
Yesterday
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Sept. 26,-Senate war
fare over the German peace treaty
was in evidence today and informal
canvasses of the Republican and
Democratic leaders were said to show
about a dozen senators in opposi-
ton, three of them Republicans.
A notable accession to the opposi-
ton ranks was Senator Williams, of
Mississippi, a veteran of the foreign
relations committee. Although he
had declared himself previously in
favor of ratification Senator Will
liams announced to the senate that
he had decided finally to vote against
it because "desertion of the allies was
involved"
Democratic senators will meet to-
morrow to discuss their position.
Senator Underwood, of Alabama,
Democratic leader, issued the con-
ference call after consulting Sena-
tor Hitchcock of Nebraska, ranking
minority member of the foreign re-
lations committee. 1t was said there
was no intention to caucus or bind
senators on the ratification vote.
Tax Bill is Read
The tax revision will was read to-
day in the senate but formal con-
sideration of it was deferred until
tomorrow. Whether the measure will
be pressed from that time may de-
pend upon the action of the Demo-
cratic caucus tomorrow on the peace
treaties with Germany, Austria and
Hungary.
Chairman Penrose, of the finance
in charge of the measure,
said that should it develope that the
treaties could be ratified with only
a few days consideration to tax mea-
sure probably would be laid aside
temporarily. This, in the end, would
expedite final action on the tax leg
islation, he said, adding that senators
were not favorable to the
suggestion of alternate consideration
of the tax bill and the treaties with
the senate holding night sessions.

his retirement.
When the national A. A. U. conven-

prefer charges against these athletes
if the central body did not take some
action. Rather than have the regis

In recent years Ray, Murchison,

counts to the attention of the Ma

suit all athletes concerned may be-

retirement before any action could be

In the third round a smashing right
cross made O'Dowd groggy, but he COW
cred up until he had recovered suf-
ficiently to last out the round. ODowd
failed to follow up what semed an
advantage at one stage of the second
round, but at no time did he have
Gibbons in distress
1t was evident to those who OBJ
served them in their meeting two
years ago. when ODowd earned a
shade, that both had slowed up some
what.
Negotiations are under way for a
match between Gibbons and Bryan
Downey of Columbus. Ohio. Gibbons
also is anxious to meet Johnny Will
