Wilson Summons Hitchcock
For Conference on Treaties
Action Causes Speculation as to How Solidlv the
Democratic Senators Can Be NIassed
Against Ratification

IRON, The T'16ute's Woshiaotoa Bureau
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-How far will
1ormer President Woodrow Wilson be
able to go toward uniting the Senate
democrats against the peace treaties ?
ms question is causing the Republican
leaders in the Senate fresh concern by
reason of the disclosure today that
Mr.. Wilson and Senator Hitchcock. of
Nebraska, former chairman of the For
eign Relations Committee and leader
of the Wilson Administration fight for
the ratification OF the Versailles
Treaty, soon will have a conference.
Senator Hitchcock received an invi-
tation from Mr.. Wilson several days ago
to call on him and 60 over the Ger
man, Austrian and Hungarian treaties.
The Nebraska Senator has been wait
ing tor a convenient time to hold the
conference. The invitation TO Senator
liltchcack is understood to have been
conveyed through another Democratic
Senator.
Senator Hitchcock admitted to-day
tnat he expected to see Mr. Wilson
and that the treaties would be taken
up: He did not go into details
The conference between the former
President and Senator Hitchcock will
gain added interest from the fact that
the Senator already has come out in
approval Of the German treaty. He did
this after hearing the exposition given
by Secretary Hughes before the For
eign Relations Committee. Since that
time Senator Hitchcock has adhered
to his position and has indicated he
would vote for the treaty. He favored
voting for ratification in the recent

Neurotics at Her Home
Special Dispatoh to The IT,.


CHICAGO, Oct. g.. 3.-Psychology and
the teachings of mental happiness in
the famous school Of DR.. Carl Jung, at
Zurich, Switzerland have failed to heal
the break between Mrs. Harold +. Nc
Cormick, daughter of John D. Rookie
feller, and her husband. the president
Of the International Harvester Com
pany.
These two figures in Chicago society
are living under separate roofs to-day
after arriving in Chicago from New
York on separate trains.
Mr.. Mccormick and his son, Fowler,
are staying at their Lake Forest estate.
Mrs. Mccormick and daughter, Muriel,
are at the Chicago residence
Mr.. Mccormick confirmed the report
that he and Mrs. Mccormick were liv-
ing in different homes. Their lives, in
fact may be as widely separated, he
intmated, as their relations in Chi
cago. Each will have a distinct field Of
work His in business Mrs. McCor-
mick III cxpounding her new doctrine
OF synthetic psychology, treating
neurotics in her home.
He Confirms Partng
AT Lake Forest Mr.. Mccormick gave
out this written statement through q
butler:
"Harold Mccormick presents his
compliments and begs to announce that
the report that he and his wife are
living apart is true"
Mrs. Mccormick INN ediately set out
to see "the new Chicago" as She
called it. She has been in Switzerland
the past eight years. Servants engaged
an automob and called for DR.. Jo-
seph Hartmann, Of Zurich, her personal
physician, and his companion, Edward
krenn, at the Drake Hotel.
The party of three set out for tour
on the boulevards, il was announced
Hours later at the residence a butler
reported Mrs. Mccormick out OF town.
Did she go to Lake Forest?' he was
asked.
"I am not at liberty to say. She is
wiling to see the newspaper men, but
wants TO rest few days. was the re-
sponse.
A prediction that Mr.. Mccormick will
soon file a bill for divorce was made
to-day by man who has had long
acquaintance with him. Mr. McCor-
mick longs for homo life and the com
panionship OF wife in the social ac-
tivities in which he is placed, accord
ing to the same frien%. His love for a
home has gone unsatisfed during the
years Mrs. Mccormick passed abroad.
Upon his arrival yesterday Mr.. McCor-
mick went directly to his home at Lake
Forest, and an attorney not membe r
Of the legal staff of the international
Harvester Company was reported to be
with him last night
Gates to His Home Locked
All gates leading into the estate were
locked. 1t was the first time in MANY
years that the gates from Sheridan
Road have been barred Two dctec
tiVes were placed on guard.
According to reported earlier
agreement, Mrs. Mccormick was to re-
ceive the Lake Shore Drive mansion
and her husband to retain the country
estate. Keen rivalry for possession Of
valued family servants has been re-
ported.
Mrs. Mccormick to-day paid no ap-
parent heed to the rumors

The Premier is well aware Of Amer

We cannot help feeling and fearing
that, should the conference become the
center of world politics, Nh. Lloyd

Asks About Septic Tank.

G. A. Hartman, mayor Of Pendleton,
has officially written Ben +. Hill,
mayor Of Walla Walla inquiring as to
the disposition Of garbage and sewage
in Walla Walla, particularly in refer
ence to the use of a septic tank before
sewage is allowed to be emptied into a
running stream. The Roundup town
executive called attention to the fact
that the Oregon law compels the pass
age of sewage through a septic tank
before it Is released and as Pendleton
is a violator Of the state law, step must
be Immediately taken to come within
the statute As the Washington law
allows sewage TO be emptied into
streams without the septic tank treat
ment, the mayor was unable to offer
advice TO the pendleton executive.
