WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-This
was peace dial on Capitol Hill.
After several hundred women rep
resentatives of peace organizations
had marched on senators in their
office building a compromise on the
Kellogg anti-war treaty was ne
gotiated by Chairman Borah Of the
senate foreign relations committee
indicating the world peace pact
might be ratified before night.
Meantime the house foreign af-
fairs committee defeated the Fish
resolution which proposed to place
the house on record as fayoring
early ratification of the Kellogg
treaty by the senate.
No Reservations
The Borah compromise which
appeared to end the twelve-day
deadlock over the treaty would pro-
vide for the pact's ratification
without the change of single word
or the statement of any reserva-
tons. 1t would give the so-called
reservationists a report from the
foreign relations committee stating
that the Monroe doctrine would not
be affected by the treaty; that this
nation undertook no promise In 1t
for enforcing the treaty and that
traditional policies Of Self-defense
will not be influenced in any way.
IN order that the report might
not be interpreted abroad as al
unofficial reservation, Borah added
a paragraph stating specifically the
report is an Interpretation and not
a reservation.
While scores of representatives OF
the women peace organization
looked on from the galleries and
while Senator Thomas j. Walsh,
Montana, Democrat and interna-
tional lawyer, was making the
strongest defense yet offered of the
treaty from the floor. Borah moved
in and out the cloakromS on both
sides of the chamber getting sigma
lures. Onl va few DIRECTORS could
be found and Borah felt confident
they could be voted down If they
attempted to rebel against the
agreement.
Friendly Gesture to Senate
The usual invasion of the Office
building by women workers led by
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait had
nothing to do with the agreement
which worked its way out of the hot
debate Monday afternoon on the
floor, but they were on hand to
witness it.
The action of the house commit
tee in refusing to adopt the Fish
resolution was a friendly gesture
from the other end of the capitol
toward the senate.
Chairman Porter had opposed the.
resolution on the ground that the
senate had a right to do whatever
it pleased about treaties without
rebukeS from the house and
Speaker Longworth said "such a
resolution would be obnoxious to
parliamentary practices of both
houses"
Activities of both houses were
largely conferred in the treaty. COM
mittees undertaking only the usual
routine business. The house con-
Sidered and expected to pass the
war department appropriation bill
upon which action now has been
delayed for more than a week.

PHILADELPHIA, oct. A.
Philadelphians are going to en-.
counter lot of official suspicion
In Shamokin from now on.
For a $500 sheaf of bills was
deity hoisted off Alfred G.. shiss-
Ter. Chief Burgess of Shamokin.
The Burgess met two person
able young men at 2:3O a. m. near
Juniper and Locust Streets, or
rather, they met him.
The young men seemed to think
the Burgess was just starting out
to see the town, whereas the re-
verse was true. Shissler told
police later he was at that mo.
ment nearing the hotel at which
he meant to go to bed.
But the young men insisted
that they must be right and
offered to show Shissler some of
the sights of Philadelphia. The
Burgess declined their proffered
aid with dignity. Still the city
fellows would not let him go,
without first shaking his hand.
To make his getaway in rela-
tive haste. the Burgess accepted
their offer and shook hands
solemnly. Then he wended his
way into the hotel.
But In his room a few min.
utes later he discovered that his
wellet containing 5000 was miss
ing from the pocket in which
he habitually carried 1t. Search
Of other pockets revealed 1t was
missing from them also.
They told me looked like a
good fellow, but didn't realize
till now what they meant" he
told the police.

Fifteen Months In Jail

Mrs. Rosa waybourn hopes today to win her re-
lease from jail at Georgetown pending her trail on
a charge OF completely in the murder Of her husband.
For IS months she has been held in jail at Bas-
trop and Georgetown. She has been held IN two OF
the Texas counties best known for their expeditions
ness in acting upon crime charges.
IN England it is rare that over three weeks elapse
before a person arrested on such a charge has been
either convicted or acquitted.
Mrs. Rosa Waybourn will plead that 1t Is "cruei
end inhumane" to hold her in jail Is months before
her case is disposed Of by the courts. and Texas peo-
pie generally will agree with her. The long delay Is
not the fault of Bastrop county officers. 1t is not the
fault Of the Georgetown court who assumed the case
on a change Of venue. 1t is not the fault OF the ap-
pellate courts which sent her case back after revers-
ing a 45-year sentence imposed upon the woman, for
insufficiency of evidence.
The fault is in the complicated system OF judicial
procedure. The state spends about sl,500OO0 a year
for operation Of its courts. Some sort Of simplifica-
ton Of procedure ought TO be possible and ought 10
be brought about that would not put such a penalty
rs this upon an untried person accused Of crime.
The course. in case OF capital or major charges
should be able to present its case promptly. II 1t
finds the accused guilty. the penalty is pre-
scrihed. II it fails to convict, the accused is entitled
to the vindication and TO liberty at once-not 10
months or two years after arrest and incarceration

When Autos Hit Trains

It is a revealing slde-light on the nature OF the
average motorist to learn that a huge percentage OF
all grade-crossing traffic accidents are caused not by
the train striking the auto, but by the auto striking
the train.
This, Of course, means that the motorist was either
extremely careless or extremely foolhardy. II ne
were trying to beat the train to the crossing his
Judgment was simply atrocious-the train got there
first with yards to spare. And II he simply failed to
see II. he was guilty Of an inattention that seems al
most unbelievable.
What we started to say was that figures show that
there were more of that kind Of crossing accidents
last year than ever before. And just what is to be
done about it we don't know. You would think that
any driver could keep from running onto a crossing
that was already occupied by a moving train. But,
apparently, an increasing number can not.

At half-past five 1t was still lying
