Conference Report to Be

WASHINGTON, .Sept 30. An
agreement was reached by the
senate late today to impose a de
bate time limit of one hour on
cach.sentor in consideration of the
j peace treaties with Germany, Aus
tria and Hungary oeginnmg Oc
tober 14 in order to expidita a
vote on ratification. Under the
agreement it ts expected Out the.
vote will be reached October 14
or 15.
The original plan for an agree
ment to vote October 14 was
abandoned for Senator Lodge, the
Republican leader, and Senator
Underwood, the Democratic lead
er, and found that unanimous con
sent would not be given for a spe.
cific day on which to take Ilnal
action.
' Side Talk Cut Short
Leaders tonight ; expressed the
opinion that the debate would not
be protracted after the h our rule
goes into effect. The agreement
also provides that the senators
shall be limited to 10 minutes for
consideration of reservations.
The voting agreement was held
up temporarily and almost reject
ed today by managers of the anti
beer bill who, fearing this meas
ure might be sidetracked, forced
Senator Lodge to delay presenting
tho agreement, i 1
Speaking later for the prohibi
tion group,, however, Senator Ster
ling, republican,! South Dakota,
said his fears, for the anti-beer
measure had proved unfounded.
Dry Bill Pushed
"In fact, in conference with Re
publican leaders," he said, "1
have secured an even moro dis
tinct and explicit understanding
that the anti-beer bill will be tak
en up and that there will be no
adjournment -of this sesaion ol
congress until the conference re
port on the prohibition measure js
disposed of."
Senator Reed, Democrat, Miss
ouri, interjected that he, and
other opponents of the anti-beer
bill, were not to be bound by Mr.
Sterling's understanding with the
Republican leaders.

Enlarged Receipt Reports
Cause Wheat to Decline
CHICAGO, Sept. , 3 .-Predictions
of enlarged receipts in 4he
northwest nxt week had a good
dsal to do with making wheat
prices decline today. The market
closed heavy, 1 3-4 to 2 3-4 net
lower, with December 11.20 1-2
to 1.20 3-4 and May i.25 1-2- to
1.2 3-4. Corn. lost 3-8 to 1 1-2.
and oats. 1-4 to 3-4. In prov.s
ion8. the outcome varied jfrom 15
cents decline to 10 cents advance.
- It was 6ad that consjignmsnt
notices of wheat due to "arive at
northwestern terminals were of
greater volume than for any pre
vioustime this season. From this
cirmustance, bears drew . the . in
ference that spring wheat farm
ers were showing a disposition to
market their. surplus without de
lay, notwithstanding government
finance available to carry the
grain If so desired. The market
scored - a rally after midday on
account, bf covering by shorts, but
when demand from this source
had been satisfied, values weaken
ed again, and closed near the bot
tom level of the session. '
Corn and oats, like wheat were
without any aggressive , EUpport,
September delivery of corn fell to
the lowest price in 18 years.
( Higher quotations on hogs gave
some firmness to proyisions.
Los Angeles Prosecutor
Yet Under Investigation
Si
los ANGELES, Sept. 30. The
Los Ajigeles county ferand jury
filed in the court of Superior
Judge Sydney N. Reeve late to
day a partial report following
three months of investigation in
to conduct of affairs in the of
fice of District Attorney Thomas
Lee Wool wino. The report urges
that "ivecessary steps be taken by
the ' attorney general to employ
special counsel to assist the
grand jury to continue its inves
tigations" No facts concerning the inves
tigation and no information con
cerning any charges was disclos
ed. The action was the outcome
of several months invest igatint;
work by a special committee of
the grand Jury. Unauthorized re
norts concerning which were re

September Also is Good
; Month for Wedding Bells
The young man's fancy is turn
ing to love not only in June, but
hso In September, according to
statistics in the county clerk's of
fice, where marriage licenses are
Issued. While SI licenses were is
sued last June, the month of Sep
tember run it a close second with
a recor,d of 58 licenses issued.
Hut it was not always so for
September, showing that things
are changing as far as the secur
Ing of marriage licenses la con
cerned. Just , after this country
went intp, war, with prospects of
young then going away, there
were only 22 licenses issued dur
ing September of il 91 7. The fol
lowing year, when the young men
of tho country wero really in tho
serricev there were. onlxJt7.mac.
riage licenses issued during tbe
month.
By September of 19l9, a few of
the boys had returned, and that
year business at the marriage IT.
cense bureau picked up as a total
of 39 were issued.
By September of 1920 the bo
were all home, almost every one
Was settled in the regular routine
of life, and that month 5S licen
ses were issued.
And now with the September
1921 record rn the past, the tota
of 58 marriage licenses Issued
dr.nng the month is conclusive
proof that September is a close
rival with June as a month for
mating.

STOCK MARKET
i FORFEITS GH
Leaders' React One to Three
PointsProminent is
sues Involved
NEW, YORK, Sept. 30. The
stock market today forfeited, a
considerable part of its recent
gain, leaders reacting 1 to? 3
points to profit taking, renewal of
short comitments and tighter mo
ney rates.
Diminished dealings again cen
tered In the I more prominent is
sues comprising the oil, steed and
equipment and metail groups.
Motors and subsidiaries and. food
specialties trailed along at' more
moderate fluctuations.
Ralls were the only issues, to
maintain a semblance of firmness,
being sustained largely by the fur
ther publication of favorable, earn
ings. Lehigh Valley was most ac
tioe at a net gain of . almost 3
points in connection with the. pros
pective segregation of the com
pany's coal j properties.
The plan of the New York tran
sit company for the merger of all
local tractions had little effect on
these issues until the final hour,
when Brooklyn Rapid Transit is
sues were under marked pressure.
In the general list reactions were
most severe in Mexican petroleum,
Baldwin Locomotive, Studebaker
and American sugar, sales, 450,
000 shares.
Call loans rose from the open
ing rate of five percent to 5
at midday .and advanced to six
percent mainly on belated borrow
ing in the final hour. Time rates
were unchanged, but some loans
extending to the close of the year
were made at slight concessions,
when backed by high grade col
lateral, s.
British, French and Belgian
exchanges strengthened in res
ponse' to higher quotations from
London, the German rate also
making further recovery from its
recent collapse. Italian bills con
tinued their , downward course,
however, the lire declining to a
fraction under four cents.
Trading in liberty and victory
issues again featured the bond
market, but no new records were
made. Foreign issues were lower,
especially French and Belgian
government flotations. Total
sales, par value, aggregated $16,
650,000. William A. Morand of Boring

Ridgway shows that his IS acres
contain more than the Jargier
tracts. Prof. Sargent j mentions, j .
Seventy-five acres mentioned
by the professor supported j only

contained only 43, while Doctor
Ridgway's 18 acres holds 70. j
"Some conception of the re
markable variety of .trees grow

it Is considered that the-70 speb

leaved trees (that is, those nbt
belonging to the pine family)
which arc native to tle entiro Ta

useful, at least to future (gener

none there exceptpsuch as . occur
