His Reservation for Article X Must
Be Accepted or No Compromise
(By L. C Martin for United Tress 1
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. Republi
can Leader Lodge today refused to re
sume the bi-partisan treaty conferences
except upon a definite understanding
that no change whatever will be made
upon the Lodge reservations to Article
X and the Monroe doctrine. Lodge de
livered this virtual ultimatum to the
Democratic members at a brief meeting.
The Democratic conferees immediately
went into session to decide on their ans
wer. After the session Senator Hitch
cock said the Democratic reply to Lodjje
will be delivered at another meeting of
the bi-partisan conferees ' tomorrow.
Lodge's action, it is believed, has made
certain the breaking off of conferences
and marks the failure of the present ef
fort for a treaty compromise.

accompanying the usual wage payment.
The eastern market especially has
been agitated by stories stating that the
bonus would be dropped today and that
resentment might be expressed by some
of the miners. This report was sent out
broadcast, but was not accompanied by
any reference to the. presence of Joseph
Lord, the federal mediator, in whose
jurisdiction rests responsibility for any
action of the kind.

BEAUTIFUL WOMAN TO
BE TRIED FOR MURDER
UP FOR ARRAIGNMENT
SILVER SHIELD SHIPPING
By Carl D. Groat, United Press staff
correspondent.
ESSEN, Germany, Jan. 7, by mail.
W. H. Smith, social welfare worker of
the Ford Motor company, Detroit, has
recently been here to inspect the "colony
homes" of the Krupp works. Henry
Ford is interested in social welfare
problems for his workers, and the Smith
trip may result in some new Ford ideas
as to workmen's housing. Smith was
deeply interested in the housing system,
the sick benefits, the old age pensions,
and so on instituted long since at the
Krupp works.
About a third of the Krupp workmen
are housed in the colony homes in Es
sen and outside. Many of these homes
resemble in spme ways a comfortable
California bungalow half ' cement or
brick and half wood. 1 All are clean
and cozy. All have lace curtains at the
windows, a bit of vine growing about
them, and altogether with an air of
'Gemuethlichkeit' an untranslatable
German word which conveys several
; ideas, such as comfort, decency and
general well being. ,
For superannuated workers and their
families there is a special colony group.
Also there are general hospitals and a
lying-in hospital given by Frau Krupp
von Bohlcn in memory of one of her
children who died. Down in the Rhine
country is a special recuperation home
for injured or sick workmen, which for
a time was used by the American army
as a hospital, but which the American
authorities recently agreed to turn back
for its original purposes inasmuch as it
was not longer needed for the dough-
During the war the company was
forced to build many barracks to take
care of extra workers. Some of these
are still standing, but, all in all, Essen
has readjusted itself from the dwelling
standpoint to almost the basis of before
the war. .
CASE GOES TO TRIAL
OVER STATE'S PROTEST
By United Press
MARYSVILLE, Jan. 26. The trial of
Mrs. Gertrude Wilson, charged with the
murder of Charles Brown, opened today
over the protest of the state attorneys
Judge McDaniel denying the motion of
the prosecution for a continuance. The
judge held the delay would cost the
county $500. The motion was based on
the illness of District Attorney Manwell
Physicians testified that Manwell would
be unable to appear in court in less than
three weeks. The"court room was pack
ed to capacity. The case of Frank Mc
Cormack, the brother of Mrs. Wilson
and jointly charged with Tier, was con
tinued for a week.
The first shipment of high grade sil
ver ore from the property of the Nevada
Silver Shield Mines company in Jeffer
son canyon was billed out yesterday by
harles W. Taylor, vice president, and
consisted of Forty-five sacks of ore
having a gross weight of 3.145 pounds.
and the estimated value is given at bet
ter than $1,000 a ton, or $1,500 for the
shipment. The ore was shipped to the
Selby smelter and early returns are an
ticipated.
The ore was brought in by a truck
man, who took out a load ot lumher to
be used in the construction f f buildings
and it is expected that future shipments
will be made frequently. Large devel
opment is planned for the immediate
future on this rich silver mine, which
promises to develop at an early date into
one of the substantial dividend payers
of Nye county.
The showing in the mine workings
and especially in the winze sunk from
the tunnel level at a distance of 300 feet
from the portal is reported as showing
a wonderful improvement, ltoth as re

MARYSVILLE, Calif., Jan. 26. The
trial of Mrs. Fred j. Wilson, beautiful
wife of a San Francisco newspaperman,
for the murder of Charles Brown,
wealthy young sheep raiser, began here
today before Superior Judge McDaniel.
Difficulty in obtaining a jury was an
ticipated because of notoriety given the
case.
Jointly charged with the slaying of
the rancher is Frank McCormick, the
woman's brother. His trial is to follow
hers.
Sister and brother fired simultaneous
ly at Brown November, ,1st on the Lynch
ranch near here, which just previously
had been purchased by Wilson. The
shooting followed a quarrel. Mrs. Wil
son declared she fired to defend her
brother. Evidence introduced at the
inquest tended to prove a bullet fired
from McCormick's gun ended Brown's
life.
The prosecution will attempt to show
Mrs. Wilson slew Brown while in a jeal
ous frenzy because her younger sister,
Mrs. Florence Howard, had supplanted
her in his affections.
Mrs. Wilson is the first woman ever
to be tried for murder in Yuba county.

He holds it is cheaper to imprison
