Reddy saw where Reddy was looking.
| He was peeking through the bush into
small bramble tangle. Mrs. Reddy
peeked through. At once she saw Peter
Rabbit.
Peter was awake now. He had heard
Reddy Fox bark and he had realized
that Reddy must be very near. But,
though he had looked and looked, he
hadn't been able to see Reddy. This
didn't worry him much. He felt quite
safe in that bramble tangle and he felt
too miserable to think of much but
his own feelings. Reddy crept back q
little way and Mrs. Reddy joined him.
What is the matter with Peter Rab-
bit?" she inquired.
II think he was hurt by shot from
terrible gum" replied Reddy. This
is our chance to get him. have been
watching him for long time don't
think he can use one leg. On three
legs he will have no chance at all. Now,
here Is my plan. will drive him out
of that bramble tangle and you will
be hidden on the other side, where you
can catch him as soon as he comes
into the open"
How are you going to drive him
out?" asked Mrs. Reddy.
I'm going to crawl into that bram-
BILE tangle," replied Reddy.
you'll get scratched and your coat
will be torn" said Mrs. Reddy.
Reddy grinned. "A Rabbit dinner will
be worth it. Now, my dear, you run
along and hide"
So Mrs. Reddy noiselessly made her
way around to the other side of the
bramble tangle and hid. She was sure
that Peter hadn't seen her. Reddy got
to his feet and without trying to keep
out of sight walked over to the bramble
tangle. Peter was once more half doz-
ing. Reddy barked sharply. Peter saw
him then.
I'm going to get you this timel"
snarled Reddy Fox, and began to force
his way into the bramble tangle.
Bv this time Peter was very wide
awake. indeed. For moment he for
got his sore leg, but when he took a
step with it he was reminded right
away of what had happened. He looked
out on the bramble tangle on the side
opposite to the one from which Reddy
was coming. A little way of was an
other bramble tangle. A cowpath led
right over past 1t. He could see that
hramble tangle very plainly. But what
he couldn't see was Mrs. Reddy hiding
close to that path. He looked back at
Reddy Fox Reddy wfimpered as the
briars scratched him, but already he
was halfway into that bramble tangle
1t certainly looked as If Peter Rabbit
was in real trouble this time.

was not a part Of the dream. But In
a moment she heard 1t again-a sharp
"Yap-yap" on the far side Of the Old
Pasture.
THAT'S Reddy," thought Mrs. Reddy
''He is barking for me. He has found
something and he wants my help"
She barked once in reply and then

had left behind him. She knew that

COOLIDGE NARROWS
JUDGE CANDIDATES
Classic, Smith, Barse and Butte
Believed in Lead for
New Position.

President Coolidge, it is thought very
likely, will. within the next few days,
announce his selection for the newly
created position on the bench of the
Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia. 1t is learned from an author
atative source at the White House to-
day that the President has reached
that stage In consideration of the vari-
Gus aspirants where he has pruned the
list of candidates down to only a few
names and that 1t will not be a difficult
task to reach conclusion.
According to White House authority,
the preferred list before the President
at this time contains the names of
Henry H. Classic, who has been a spe-
cial assistant to the Attorney General
since his retirement from the United
States Tariff Commission more than a
year ago; John Lewis Smith, former
president of the local bar association,
who has been recommended by that
association and the Republican State
committee for the District of Columbia;
George P. Barse, general counsel for
the controller of the currency and
George G. Butte of Texas, a special
assistant to the Attorney General and
former attorney general for Porto Rico.
There may be one or two other
names being given serious considera-
ton by the President. but the latter
are known to have survived the wedding
out process instituted by Attorney Gen
eral Sargent. who at the request of the
President. has personally Investigated
the records and capabilities of the
various persons whose names have been
presented for consideration. .

SENATORS QU|zzED
BY PAC|F|ST GROUP
Delegates to Anti-War Meet
ing Get Lawmakers Views
on Ship Bill.

More than 100 representatives of
anti-war organizations, attending a
conference in session at the Washing
ton Hotel today, descended, armed with
pencils and pads, upon the Senators on
Capitol Hill early this afternoon to
buttonhole each member and get from
them their views on the construction of
the proposed Is new 10,000-ton
cruisers.
The delegates were to bring back
their pads with the opinions of the
Senators and read them at the after
noon session of the conference, which
was to be held between 4:30 and $50.
Questions Answered.
Representative Huddleston of Alabama,
Representative Hull of Illinois, Senator
Nye of North Dakota and Senator
Brookhart of Iowa met with the con-
ference this morning and speakers an
sWered a series of questions presented
by Senator Brookhart on phases of
preparedness. The first speaker was
Representative Hull, who was ques-
toned as to the motives behind the
bill for the construction of the cruisers.
Il consider" Representative Hull said,
that the Navy bill grows out of the
needs of the shipbuilding industry and
that it is the shipbuilding industry S
hunger for business that makes the urge
for the Navy bill" Representative Hull
particularly attacked the changing of
the Dallinger amendment, which would
provide in substance that the IS cruisers
proposed in the bill now pending would
be built entirely in the country's navy
yards and not in the private shipyards.
He charged that in the Senate commit
tee which had the bill such changes
had been made that the private ship
yards would get their cut of the buSi-
ness which the building of cruisers
would mean.
Representative Huddleston was asked
to explain time clause and the
S.gnificance of the Presidents request
in his annual message that it be elm
mated. The time clause, he said pro-
vides that the ships contemplated in
the bill would be laid down within
three years.
"It might be asked" Representative
Huddleston said, what was in the
Presidents mind when he made that
request. Please do not ask me that.
I don't feel that any man is qualified
to adequately answer that question. But
if you want my opinion I would say I
don't think there was anything in the
Presidents mind"
Senator Nye made brief talk in

SENATE RESUMES
PACT NEGOTIATIONS
Moses Demands Kellogg
Treaty Declaration Be-
fore Adoption.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senate negotiations for a compromise
on an interpretative declaration to ac-
company the Kellogg anti-war treaty
were resumed today after an early col
lapse of the conferences had brought
a renewal of debate on the floor
AS leaders went into new conferences
seeking an agreement which would per-
NIT a final vote on the pact within a
day or two, Senator Moses, Republican,
New Hampshire, the author of the
controversial interpretative resolution,
placed his case before the Senate.
He declared that Great Britain and
other world powers in correspondence
accompanying their acceptance of the
treaty had made reservations to their
adherence. He said he would not be
counted among those who are willing
to go it blind in the matter of our
relations with the rest of the world
Leaves Way for Compromise.
Senator Moses left the way open,
however, for a compromise on his reSo-
luton, which has been opposed as un-
necessary by President Coolidge and
Chairman Borah of the foreign rela-
tions committee, in charge of the treaty.
He suggested four methods of express
ing this country's views of the treaty.
They are:
% The Senate may attach formal
reservations which would require the
assent of the other signatories upon eX-
change of ratifcations.
CD The Senate may express its own

BREAK IN COLD WAVE
EXPECTED TOMORROW
Mercury Tumbles to ii Early To
day, Rising Slowly Through
Morning.

Washingtons present cold wave is
nearly over. Dropping from 81 de-
greeS above zero at o'clock last night
to ID degrees by o'clock this morning,
the mercury at the Weather Bureau
held that place until o'clock, when it
began to rise slowly.
Forecaster Mitchell said this morning
that the outlook was for warmer wealth
er tonight, when the lowest temper
ature probably would be about 20 de-
grees. He predicted that it would grow
rapidly warmer tomorrow. with the
probability of rain tomorrow night.
Toward the end of the week, the signs
point to more cold weather, although
probably not so cold as last night
This is the coolest January in
Washington since 1916, when the ther-
mometer went to IA degrees. The
coolest January 8 since 1910 was in
1912 when the temperature was IL de-
| greeS above
Weather Bureau officials, while not

| cold Winter. are not riSking any long
distance forecasts.
The cold winds which are making
Washingtonians shiver have been COM
! ing from Canada. 1t is the prospect
of breeZes from the South which leads
Forecaster Mitchell to believe there may
be warmer weather tonight and to-
morrow.

ACTION ON MERGER
LIKELY TOMORROW
Senate Subcommittee to
Meet-Written Reports Ask
ed by Group Are Filed.

Definite developments in the street
railway merger situation are likely to
occur when the Senate subcommittee
handling the question meets at 1890
o'clock tomorrow morning, since the
various written statements requested
by the subcommittee have been filed.
Senator Capper late yesterday receiv-
ed the last two of these reports-one
from the Bureau of Efficiency, contain
ing the bureaus comment on the letter
of the traction heads. and one from
William Mex. Clayton of the Federation
of Citizens Associations, outlining 10
recommendations.
Herbert D. Brown, chief of the Eff
cheney Bureau, told Senator Capper in
yesterdays comment that the original
report of his bureau expressed "only a
qualified approval of this valuation
(referring to the $50,000,000 rate base
provided for in the plan) for merger
purposes, on two assumptions, namely:
Cd that the properties Of the new transit
company would be revalued by the
Public Utilities Commission after Suffi-
cient time has elapsed to coordinate
bus and rail transportation and to effect
the economies and benefits of unified
operation; and (2) that the new COM
pany would continue accounting for
depreciation on the basis of the money
cost of property to the present operating
companies. with transfer to the new
company of their accumulated depre-
citation reserves"
Step to Protect Public.
Mr. Brown further pointed out that
the bureau suggested shortening of
the 10-year period in which the valua-
ton would be in effect, in order to pro-
tect the public If prices should decline
or the courts should revise their views
respecting valuation methods.
The efficiency chief added, however
that lin our opinion it is highly desir-
able to include a valuation for rate
making purposes in the unification
agreement. although it may not be abso-
lutely essential for purposes OF the Ero-
posed merger" He said the statement
of the companies is emphatic on this
point and says that they ARE unwilling
to go into a merger without an estab-
liShed rate base until new valuation
is made
But, with reference to the amount
of such rate baSe,' Mr.. Browns letter
went on, "all the statement says is that
's50,000,000 was stated as a compromise
fair to all parties"
Mr.. Brown told 4he subcommittee
that certain testimony given by Presi-
