Senate Adjourns Sine Die
After Several Efforts to
Close Session Fail.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. After
three ineffectual attempted to ratify
the peace treaty had failed the sen
ate late tonight gave up the at
tempt aid laid the treaty aside.
All compromise efforts to bring
ratification failed, the three resolu
tions of ratification all going down
by overwhelming majorities. The re
publican leaders apparently despair
ing of bringing two-thirds of the
senate together for any sort of rati
fication, then put in ta resolution to
declare the war at an end.
Two of the three ratification votes
were taken on the resolution drafted
by the republican majority, contain
ing reservations which President
Wilson had told democratic senators
in a letter earlier in the day would
mean nullification of the treaty. On
each of the votes most of the demo
cratic supporters of the treaty voted
against ratification.
The senate adjourned sine die .at
11:08 o'clock.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. Rati
fication of the peace treaty with the
reservations framed by the repub
lican majority and objected to by
President Wilson was twice voted
down in the senate late today, with
the administration senators lining;
up solidly against it.

McHcnry, Md., Restores Hap

BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 19. The
happiest men In the world, four young
soldiers, their sight restored after six
months' treatment for total blindness
at the government hospital at Fort
McHcnry, are about to be returned
to their homes. Not one of them, it is
said, could have been cured if the
ordinary course of treatment used
before the war had been employed.
James B. Clayton, 25, of Clymer, Pa.,
will be the only one of the former
blind men at the hospital after all
the discharge orders have been car
ried out. He was blinded on Novem
ber 22 last, eleven days after the
signing of the armisrtce. by the acci
dental explosion of a shell as he was
guarding prisoners. At the came time
three fingers of his left hand were
blown off.
His sight entirely gone, he was sent
to Fort McHenry last April and treated
for both the optical and hand injuries.
A month ago the eye operation was
performed by Captain J. B. Wheeler
and gradually the sight came back.
Clayton ie now able to see enough to
make his way about the grounds and
hopes soon to be able to read.
The most notable cure was that of
Private Jazek of Abbott, Tex., who
was totally blinded 14 months ago by
machine gun bullet which entered
the side of his head. Nerve tissues
were connected by Captain Wheeler,
an operation several weeks ago.
and shortly afterward Jazek was able
to see. When the bandages were re
moved and Jazek saw light he jumped
from his bed and danced down the
ward aisle for several minutes.
Kichwrd Toomey of Shecpshead Bay,
Brooklyn, is another of the men cured.
After undergoing a remarkably dan
gerous operation he has been provided
with specially prepared spectacles and
now is taking a course in business
training and stenography.

LONDON', Nov. 19. (Special Cable.)
The bitter cry of labor at the stead
ily diminishing kick in the post-war
whisky is voiced in a question to be
asked of Food Controller Roberta by
a labor member from Leeds. He will
inquire tearfully:
"Whether, seeing: that the founda
tion of whisky is malt, and if malt
whisky is reduced below 35 per cent
under proof there is not enough alco
hoi therein to preserve the water;
and if it is reduced to 30 per cent
under proof the water becomes stag
nant and the whisky nauseous, he
will have whisky raised to sanitary
strength."
As the diminution of drunkenness
and that of whisky strength have
i hand, the temperance
fight any increase in
majority for adoption, mustered only j
G9 votes, to 55 against it. Its sup
porters were S5 republicans, four
democrats, and its opponents 13 re
publicans and 42 democrats.
Treaty Waits Next Session.
The result placed the treaty in a
parliamentary status, which, its
enemies declared, amounted, at least
temporarily, to rejection Its friends,
however, had hopes of reviving it at
another session of congress. !
After the ratification vote repub
licans permitted their resolution in
exactly the form rejected to come
up for further consideration, but the
solid republican lineup which had
held against repeated democratic
compormise proposals showed no
signs of yielding.
Collapse of the compromise nego
tiations which this morning had
promised to point a way to ratifica
tion followed, a more definite an
nouncement by President Wilson
that the reservation proposed would,
in his opinion, nullify the treaty's
vital purposes.
In a letter to Democratic Leader
Hitchcock, the president expressed
hope that the treaty's friends would
vote against ratification on majority
programme. This letter was pre
sented to a conference of democratic
senators and the president's advice
wa sindorsed by most of those pres
ent.

OPEN SHOP FIGHT LOOMS
WASHINGTON. Nov. 19. Prospects
ot a coal famine drew nearer tonight
with negotiations between operators
and miners apparently at a standstill.
A sub-committee of the joint wage
scale committees discussed the situa
tion for three hours, but it was said
operators did 'not submit counter
proposals to the miners' demands. The
conference will continue tomorrow.
'We are still in a receptive mood,
said John L. Lewis, acting president
of the United Mine Workers, f homas
T. Brewster, chairman of the opera
tors committee in the central compe
titive field, spoke optimistically. He
said this was the first attempt at real
negotiations since the Buffalo confer
ence. '
Scale committees of the bituminous
miners and operators in the centra!
competitive field went into executive
session today to negotiate a wage
contract, after Federal Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield had urged upon them
the necessity for adjusting their dif
ferences and producing the coal the
country needs.
"We all realize now that in the
great coal industry the public is an
important partner," said Dr. Garfield.
'The people of the United States will ,
not consent to pa yan excessive price ,
for coal. We are all agreed to that.
But the question now is, 'What is an
excessive price?' Nor will the public
agree to go without "this commodity.
Just Return at lMoe.
"The people of the United States
need, must have and will have coal,
and they will not be prevented by
anything the operators and miners
may do unless the government is dis
solved into a chaotic condition.
'The people of the United States
are willing to pay sufficient to main
tain American standards, but the
question is, what are American stand
ards? The people want the operators
to have a just return, but what is a
just return?"
Dr. Garfield expressed regret that
the operators and miners had not es
tablished a permanent body to adjudi
cate their disputes. Lacking that, he

Inportation of Chinese into the United
States, under federal restrictions, to
help on farms and increase produc
tion, is advocated by "rank Jordon.
secretary of state of California, who
arrived here today on his way to
Portland.
"The farmers of the United States,
especially those in the middle west
and on the Pacific coast, are facing
the most critical time in their his
tory," said "Mr. Jordan, "and unless
some provision Is mALe for labor many
of the larger farms will be aband
ond and production seriously cut.
"It has been demonstrated that the
so-called 'white man' will not apply
himself to farm drudgery. There are
now more than 5,000.000 ranch Jobs
in the United States unfilled.
"Under my plan I would confine
the admission of Chinese to men ac
tually required to operate the farms,
and would have them serve under
occupational restrictions.
"The farmers of California are al
most a unit in favoring Chinese Im
portation, and it Is our plan to mem
oralize congress to relax the restric
tions now imposed upon these orien
tals for a definite period.
"Under the proposed regulations
they would not compete with free
labor, but would be the means of
greatly Increasing agricultural pro
duction." While advocating the admission ol
Chinese labor. Mr. Jordan says the
people of California are advocating
laws to bar Japanese from acquiring
by lease or purchase lands in that
state.

CENTRALIA, Wash.. Nov. 19.
Special.) Ole Hansen, said to have
been with Bert Bland and Lauren
Roberts at Seminary hill during the
Armistice-day shooting, is reported to
be surrfinded tonight by a legion
posse of ten men near Independence,
about 12 miles from here, according
to the announcement of Lieutenant
Frank Vangilder, in command of
American Legion posses here. It was
shack near Independence that
Bert Bland was captured yesterday.
Through the widespread search for
suspects In connection with the Armi-
st-e day attack, when four ex-service
men were slain by ambushed radicals
in the streets of this city, the terri
tory for many miles around has prac
tically been swept clean o,f I. W. w.
gun men and propagandists, and the
Jails of Centralla and Chehalis hold
a majority of the men actually wanted
on charges of participation In the
crime.
Huhi'i Cabin Objective.
Centralia. which leaped from com
parative obscurity, a rich little ham
let in Washington, to national prom
inence as the field on which veterans
of the world war were being slain by
radical assissins, is quiet today. Posses
in the northeastern hllla, wnere two
or three 1. W. W. may be yet hiding.
have been recalled. It is announced
mat tne policy will be to send not
more than three riflemen into the
heavily wooded mountain district to
hunt down any suspects that may be
in hiding. The particular objective
will be Hansen's cabin, eight miles
north of Hunter's cabin, near the
headwaters of the .Skookumchuck
river.
Of the alleged principals of the
armistice day assassinations, but two
are yet at large, it is believed. These
are John Doe Davis and Ole Hansen
alias Loughtenof f. an alien Finn.
Hansen was with Bert Bland, who
was captured yesterday, but parted
company with him on Sunday night.
It is not unlikely that he has gone to
his mountain cabin.
Possemen yet declare that reports
of firing in the woods to hte north
were frequently heard. As no en
easements with the fugitive reds have
been reported, the authorities are at
a loss to explain the reports. It is
possible that possemen who pene
trated deeply into the hill fastnesses
may have engaged the I. W. W. and
have not yet had time to return with
the news. The trip to Hansen's cabin
for example, requires three days over
rougn trans. i
Eight days ago the Armistice day
attack took place. It was planned by
the L W. W. conspirators, according
to the testimony of prisoners who
have made full confessions, naming
the ringleaders and the men who fired
upon the marching veterans.
Flfteea Are Held.
One of the assassins caught in the
chase which followed the firing, is
dead as the toll of lynch law. Thirteen
of his fellows are in custody, charged
with the murder of Warren O. Grimm
of Centralia. Charles will be filed
later cvering the murders of Ben
Casagranda,. Arthur tcelfresh and
Dale Hubbard. In addition to these
charges. 15 radicals are held for trial
under the new state syndicalism act.
"We have every reason to believe
that the murder cases will go to trial
not later than December 10." said
Prosecuting Attorney Allen today.
"They will be tried in the superior
court of Lewis county at Chehalis.
The state expects to bring about the
conviction of the participants a
charged."

Great Britain has sought use of
these ships both for trans-Atlantic
passenger service out of New York
and for transporting troops to its
overseas dominions. The shipping
board, however, has refused to deliv

powers the standard Oil tank steam

was Turnished yesterday when sev
eral thousand residents of this city
augmented the usual crowd of stock
men and stock enthusiasts attending
