PEACE TREATY ACTION
TAKEN BY GERMANY
CONTINUED from page ~

The first thing that endangered
ratification was Senator Lodges in
sistence on night sessions, to which
the Democrats are opposed, particu-
larly as his insistence was coupled
with a threat that the sessions would
go on until the Democrats agreed
upon a day on which talking should
cease and voting begin. 1t looks now
as If a compromise has been reached
by which the vote should be taken
In two weeks. Pending a decision,
the night sessions have been discon-
tinued.
The second trouble maker was an
effort to bring about a cloture rule.
1t was made clear that if that is at
tempted Democrats and insurgent
Republicans behind Senator Borah
will flibuster and fight for weeks.
Even some of those who are at pres
emit determined to vote for the treaty
are against shutting off debate.
President Harding Endorsed both
propositions as methods of compel-
ing early action, and this did not
tend to make the Democrats any
happier.
The Democrats will take no party
action either for or against the
| treaty, it was determined at a meet
ing of Democratic senators. Each
| senator is left free to present such
| amendments and reservations as he
| desires. The minority members OF
the Foreign Relations Committee
were designated as advisers to sem
ators Underwood and Hitchcock in
| the matter of programs, but they will
not pass on all suggested changes.

Scheffler valued at $4,000 were to.
tally destroyed by fire last night
shortly after nine o'clock. MI.
Scheffler and family had been
spending the day at the Trenton
fair and returned to find their home
a mass OF smoking timber and
ashes. The cause of the blaze had
not been definitely decided upon yet
this morning, but is thought to have
started from an electric system Mr..
Scheffler had installed in his home.
Although the garage was of brick
construction. the house was a large
frame affair and was easy prey for
the swiftly burning flames. BY the
time the blaze was discovered the
buildings were in a mass of flames
and in spite of the work of the
South River and ~Sayreville fire de-
partments, could net be saved.
The garage, which was situated
about fifty feet from the house, con-
tanned a truck and two large tour
ing cars. These and other contents
OF the building were destroyed.
Gasoline and oil stored in the gar.
age aided the flames in making
quick work of the building. 1t is
said that the buildings were in

ciety divided the country in such a
manner that the majority of n terra
Gotta manufacturers refused to en-
ter and compete in the New YORK
market and had refrained from max
ing any sales or shipments to New
York City by common agreement.
THE second count more directly
charges price fixing through III me-
dunn of the open price plan," de-
clared Mr.. Hayward.
1.-THE third count charges elim1na-
ton of all competition on the sub
iect of ~so-called additions so that
the one manufacturer who had erect
ed the original structure could die
tate his own price TO the builder or
owner of the building who desired to
make any extensions or erect IN ad-

industry of the United States, alleg-
ing that the association controlled
more than 95 per cent. of the terra
Gotta industry in the United States"
said Mr.. Hayward.
In the monopoly count against the
eastern group it is charged that they
completely controlled the terra cot
ia industry in the Eastern states,
and by reason of their unfair and
illegal practices through the price
fixing, elimination of competition
and by various other methods vio-
lated the monopoly section OF the
Sherman law.
