Washington, Sept. 23 —Reports
from the west that President Wilson
is pleased with his tour anil the en-thusiasm
of the audiences he has
faced necessitates the frank analy-sis
here that despite these, encour-aging
reports the situation in the
senate as regards the approval of
the peace treaty and the league of
nations covenant is by no means en-couraging
from the administration
viewpoint.
To-day the administration forces
appear to be losing ' ratner than
gaining ground. Practical men on
the Democratic side are hedging
and preparing to get. the best possi-ble
compromise. The senator who
asserts and believes that tue peace
treaty with this league of nations
rider will be approved without
amendment or reservation is the
champion optimist.
This j story endeavors to size up
the situation as it exists irrespec

reservation to the league
pact. The possible exception is the
reduction of British representation
in the assembly of :ne league.
In risking re-submission of the

powers, senators say the league is

Winston-Salem, Sept. 22.—A re-volting
criminal assault alleged to
have been committed after midnight
Saturday night in the ladies' wait-ing
room at the Union passenger
station, came to light here to-day.
The defendant is B. H. La?iier. fire-man
for the Southern Railway, his
run being between Sper.cer and
Ashevitle. He is in jail awaiting a
preliminary hearing in the Munici-pal
court Wednesday morning.
His alleged victi.n was a young
married woman, who arrived here
on a late train Saturday night from
her home in Iowa, she being en-route
to Yadkin county to visit her
father, who is reported to be seri-ously
ill. She has identified l.anier
as her assailant, though he main-tains
he is not guilty of I lie offense
as charged.
In her story to the poliee. the wo-man
states that upon her arrival
here, she was unable to locate
friends whom she w:is directed to

chamber.
While Senator Frelinghuysen, Re-publican,
of New Jersey, was deliv-ering
a two-hour attack on the
treaty and its league ot nations
covenant. Republicans were trying
to reach an agreement respectiag
the method of dealing with the
amendment by Senator Johnson,
Republican, of California, for equal-izing
the voting power of the
United States and Great Britain in
the league assembly.
The Johnson amendment has been
laid aside to be taken up at an in-definite
date, but there were scores
of rumors concerning possible pro-cedure,
and one persistent report
was that Sentaor Johnson might in-sist
upon calling it up at any mo-ment.
Some league advocates put
forth the claim that enough prom-ises
had been obtained from Repub-licans
to make certain its defeat,
largely because of the argument
that its adoption might necessitate
reopening of the whole question of
peace negotiations with Germany.
There were no positive statements
from leaders of either side, but
there were more informal confer-ences
than usual, with the promise
that almost anything might happen
on the floor to disturb the routine
proceedings.

Mrs. Brown, who is a frail looking
woman, went to the stand and told
a straight and convincing story of
the assault, explaining hov Lanier

committed the crime. Counsel for
the defendant was unable to shake
the woman's testimony. Lanier did

testimony was of no benefit.
