WILSON ADVISES SENATORS TO'
. VOTE AGAINST RESERVATIONS,
TREATY EIGHT REACHES CLIMAX
Senate Is Whipped Into
Line For Final Count
on Pact Battle
HOPE TO SECURE CLEAR CUT
ADOPTION BEING ABANDONED
By Issociatcd Press
Washington, Nov. 19. — Imuudntteh at lor the Sonalo moi
lu consider the IVacc Treaty, Senator Lodge formally presented
the resolution of ratification containing the liiteen reservations
adopted by a majority of the Senate.
At the outset, Senator Lodge asked unanimous consent for
an immediate vote on unqualified ratification. Administration
Leader Hitchcock said the Democrats preferred to wait until the
Lodge resolution had been voted on. Senator Lodge then with
drew his request, and the debate 011 the Lodge resolution began.
War "Iteail lane"'
At the beginning of to-day's ses
sion, the clerk's record of the do- 1
lure rule operations showed 13 hours
and 34 minutes total time consumed,
although 48 senators had used'none |
of the hour alloted to eaeli of them.
With one senator, Lufollette, Re
publican, Wisconsin, out of the de
bate by total consumption of his
time, others near the "dead line"
were King. Democrat, I'tah, 39
minutes; MeCumber, Republican,
North Dakota. sti minutes; Plielan,
Democrat, California, 57 minutes:
Reed, Democrat, Missouri, 38 "a
minutes, and Thomas, Democrat,
t'oloradp, 31 minutes. Republican
Reader Lodge had used Iti minutes
of his hour and Administration Lead
er Hitchcock 9'= minutes.
Want Vote Afterward j
Senator Hitchcock said the Demo
crats believed the vote on unquali- j
tied ratification should be taken af- |
ler. and not before, the Lodge reso-j
lution was disposed of.
"A number of senators are com - i
mitted to the Lodge reservations,"
he said, "and it would not be kind
ly to propose now, when senators are
hound by pledges, a resolution of'
unreserved ratification.'
Senator Hitchcock added that af- '
ter a vote on Lodge resolution he ;
would be glad to get unanimous eon- j
sent to offer a resolution of uu- |
qualified ratification.
Senator Lodge said that if lite;
Democrats did not desire lo vote at j
once on unqualified ratification, he
would withdraw his request.
"There have been no pledges by
senators," Senator Lodge said. The
reservations were adopted by free, j
undictated votes of senators and in j
my opinion they will not be modi- J
lied by any talk of withdrawal."
Senator Smith, Democrat, Georgia, j
opening the debate, said he "declin- i
ed to allow his views to lie controlled I
by any one else."
"I shall vote for the resolution and :
the reservations that have been pre-!
seated, though T would lie gratified j
in many respects to see them cliang- '
ed," he said.
Knox Takes Floor
Senator Knox, Republican, Fenn- ,
sylvania, of the irreconcilable group i
■said if complete defeat of the Treaty j
could not be accomplished, lie de- i
sired to make it as acceptable as I
possible. |
Senator Lodge asked that Presi- i
dent Wilson's letter advising ad- !
ministration Democrats to vote i
against the Lodge ratification pro- j
gram be printed in the Record, add-'
ing:
"I think comment is superfluous." j
Senator Thomas, Democrat, <'olo-|
rudo, said he would vote against the'
resolution, not because of the Presi- i
dent's letter, but because of the la-I
bor provisions.
Fears Alienation
• Senator Robinson. Democrat. Ar
kansas, said enemies of the Treaty
had succeeded, "temporarily at least,
In accomplishing indirectly what
they could not do openly," and "have
planned to alienate the nations who
were our allies in the war."
"Yet senators who say they want
the Treaty," he said, "are aiding in
this plan, which gives only comfort
to those who want to see the Treatv
killed."
Four prime objections to the
Lodge resolution were ruiqed by-
Senator Robinson—the preamble,
the Shantung provisions, that re
garding Article ten of the League
covenant, and for withdrawal from
the League.
"The friends and not the enemies
of the Treaty," said the senator, j
"should dictate the terms of ratifi
cation."
"If the Lodge reservations were
adopted, Senator itobinson said, the
President, 'probably' would refuse to
negotiate it."
Fears "Cock Pit"
"If he should make the attempt."
he added, "it is plain that our self
respecting allies would not accept." I
Senator Sherman, Republican, il - ,
linois, announced he would have to 1
part company" with some of liisi
Republican associates and vote i
against the ratification resolution.

Hope of securing a clear cut adop
tion of the Treaty as it was present
ed by President Wilson has been
practically abandoned and the ad-"
ministration forces are centering
their efforts on a compromise which
would be acceptable to, both sides of
the Senate.

"Third Degree" Charged
Against Fire Marshal Is
Denied by Pardon Board
i charges that the "third degree"
was resorted to in the State tire
niarshal's office in tills city in 1917
to force a confession from David
j Rudin .convicted of arson in Monroe
county, were made before the State
\ Boned of Pardons to-day by Judge
| Leon Sanders, of New York city, and
i brought sharp remarks in repudia
. tion from Lieutenant-Governor Ed
! ward K. Beidleman and Secretary of
I the Commonwealth Cyrus K. Woods.
| it was contended that Rudin's broths
j er, who later went to Russia and was
killsd there, was the real incendiary
land that he set fire to the burned
i building at instance of owners, but
j was never indicted. When the alie-
I gation was made that Rudin was
j personally attacked in presence of
! the then State tire marshal and his
assistants by 11. T. Nugent, then a
I deputy, and others, Mr. Beidleman
.said that such a charge would have
i no effect on the hoard unless corro
| borated and that lie did not propose
Ao have such statements made about
: State officials without resenting
| them.
"1 do not believe that such an oc
j currenee ever took place in this
| Capitol. It is unfair to come here
• and make that charge on unsup
| ported statements by the man con
victed." declared Mr. Woods,
Judge Sanders said that it hud
i been made at the trial, but not refut
i ed, which caused members of the
board to remark that conviction had
I taken place.

Episcopalians to Plan
Spiritiul Campaign at
Open Mass Meeting
The Rt. Rev. Henry St. George |
Tucker. Bishop of Kyoto. Japan, is
to be the chief speaker at an open |
mass meeting to be held Friday eve
ning in the ballroom of the Penn-'
Harris Hotel. The meeting is to be
attended by churchmen from the
entire south-central section of the
State.
Bishop Tucker is known as a
speaker of unusual merit. He has!
proved himself one of the most sue-,
eessful missionary bishops of the
Kpieopat church. Although the dis
trict over which he presides is small
in area, it boasts more than a score
lof church schools, several church !
hospitals, and about a hundred large!
churches, many of them in charge of!
Japanese clergymen.
The meeting is to be held in the!
interests of the nation-wide earn-1
paign of die Episcopal Church, a'
campaign rather unique in that it is !
primarily a spiritual rather than a
financial one. THe movement aims
to make men give religion a more
prominent part in their affairs.
Another speiker will be Rev. Dr.
W. A. R. Goodwin, rector of St.
Paul's church. Rochester, New York, i
.Dr. Goodwin is one of the leaders!
of the campaign and has given tip
his parochial work in furtherance
of ttie movement.
Music will be furnished by a large'
orchestra and the singir.g will be,
led by the vested boys' choir of St.
Stephen's UJiurl'h.

their decision. The coal companies,

President Warns Program
of Foreign Relation
Means Nullification
LETTER IS PLACED BEFORE
CONFERENCE OF DEMOCRATS
By Associ'itcH Press
Washington, Nov. 19—A letter t'rum ('resident Wilson ad
vising Senators to vote against ratification of the Treaty with the
foreign Relations Committee reservations was laid before a con
ference of the administration Senate forces to-day by Democratic
Leader Hitchcock.
The committee program, the President wrote, would provide
not for ratification, but rather tor the. nullification of the Treaty.
The conference hail been called to;
decide upon the tinal administration
tactics in the tight tor ratification,
which is expected to come to an end
to-day or to-morrow.
After the President's letter was
read there were indications that
unless a compromise could be ef- !
fee ted lhe administration Senators
, would line up almost solidly against '
ratification.
His letter
The President's letter, addressed |
to Senator Hitchcock and dated yes
terday, follows:
*My dear Senator: You were
good enough to bring me word
that the Democratic Senators
supporting the Treaty expected
to hold a conference between
the final votes on the Dodge res
olution of ratification and that |
they would be glad to receive !
a word of counsel from me.
1 should hesitate to otter it in
any detail, but I assume that
the Senators only desire my j
judgment upon the all-irtipor- ;
tant ijuestion of the linal vote
on the resolution containing the l
many reservations of Senator !
Dodge. On that I cannot heai-
I . tute. for in my opinion the res- ]
oiution in that form does not
provide for ratification, but
rather for the nullification of
the Treaty. J sincerely hope j
that the friends and supporters |
of the Treaty will vote against
the Dodge resolution of ratifica
tion.
I understand that the door
will then probably be open for
a genuine resoiutin of ratifica
tion.
I trust that all true friends of
the Treaty will refuse to sup- ;
port the Dodge resolution.
Cordially and sincerely yours.**

Promised Chance
The President's reference to an \
opportunity to vote on a "genuine i
ratification" resolution referred to j
the plans of the Democrat* to get
action on an unreserved resolution !
after they had voted down the !
; Dodge proposal. That plan appar- j
ently has been blocked, however. J
by the decision of the mild reserva- ]
tion representations to stand with'
i Republican Deader Dodge against ;

Birmingham Ala., Nov. IS.
More than Jt.OOO gallons of "muon

sent from here yesterday to rescue the
two revehuo officers .surrounded by al

One man was arrested. I'osse men re

proach of the rescue parti. No violence ! ;
was ottered the two revenue ofllcers. j ,
Cmotion to reconsider. In the latter
eventuality their plan is to present
i amendments which will make the
j reservation acceptable.
I It is known lo be the purpose of
Senator Dodge, on the other hand,
| to force the administration leaders
| to make their compromise proposals
i before the committee resolution is
1 voted on. To-day's conference took
up that situation with the leaders
hopeful that tliey might obtain such
j modification of the resolution us
I would enable them to vote for it.
Predicts Disobedience
j Republican Deader Dodge in a
! formal statement predicted that the
| Senate would "not obey the orders"
of President Wilson with regard to
the Treaty.
"The Senate has equal power and
'responsibility with'the President in
I the making of treaties," said Sena
| tor Dodge. "They will not. in my
j opinion, obey the orders of the Pres
| ident, who undertakes to command
: the Senate to ratify the Treaty
! without the reservations, adopted by
j a large majority of the Senate
: which Americanise it and make it
safe for the I'nited States. What he
commands will not, in my judgment,
| be done."
Chances Slim
Although ihe Democrat stand waff
j declared in Republican quarters to
i have diminished the • halves of a
j compromise, it was learned that u
I proposal to modify the preamble res
i t*i vation [if the committee so that the
! reservations would not have to have
' affirmative acceptance by other pow
ers had been under serious consider
! ation by the Republican leadrs.
It was undeistood that the Republi
| i alls manifested a willingness to in
sert a proviso by which the rcserva
, tions could be accepted by the other
' powers, by theini merely "not objeet
• ing to" them.
Measures Suggested
Democrats who attended the <on
i ference were not bound by any con-
I fcrenee agreement and' said they
j were willing to accept many of the
! majority's reservations, hut could not
accept the preamble or tliose dealing
with Article Ten. Shantung, equality
jof voting and ode or two others. |f
I possible n motion to strike out the
j objectionable one'will be made* if
| tb majority declim d to compromise,
1 it was said, responsibility for failure
1 of the Treaty would rest on that aide
1 o." the chamber.
| Various compromise measures were
i considered at the conference. Some
lof those present predicted that a
j working agreement bused on a com
| bination of fhe Hitchcock and Mc
| Cumber proposals. modifying the
I coimmittee reservations could be
I reached.

TURKEYS TO BE
SCARCE AT 65
CENTS A POUND
Tip Passed Out by Local
Dealers That Birds Will
Not Be Plentiful
MANY REASONS GIVEN
Numerous Tables Will Re
Without National Bird
on Holiday
* Turkeys will be high and scarce
next week for Thanksgiving Pay.
Tills is the tip passed around to
day by city dealers. Incidentally,
many householders are passing
j around the tip'that the famous fowl
! w ill lie missing from their tables on
Tluinksgi ring.
Sixty-live cents a pound, ready for
tile pan will lie the levy inflicted up
>lll those who may wish to have tur
key for their dinner. And even at
: this price, it will not be an easy job
: .lo get the birds, say local dealers.
.No ('ra 11 berries
Shipments already are late. Curc
i'ul search of the city markets to-day
| showed few turkeys for sale. A inul
litude of causes enter into the situ
, ation. the dealers affirm.
la tlie first place, a wet spring did
not provide lie best weather for the
growth of the little turks. And now
a refrigerator car shortage is cutting
tli- shipments to the city to a very
low figure. But at that most people
are not worrying: they would have
been unable to indulge, with the pre
vailing higli prices.
The demand for cranberries will be
I nil. No housewife wants to use her
] little bit of sugar in sweetening the
j fruit.
