CAN FRANCISCO, . July 1. The

league of nations plank, putting the
jbarty on record as favoring the rati
fication of the treaty without impair
ing its essential integrity, but with
an amendment by Senator Walsh, of
Massachusetts, stating that the party
does not oppose any reservations
which may make the pact clearer aud
"more specific on the American obligal
tions and sovereignty under the
league.
...The amendment offored by Senator
Walsh was adopted was adopted by a
vote of thirty-two to eighteen after
four hours of heated debate, during
which Walsh made an Impassioned
appeal to the committee.
.The action'was a complete surprise
-nd caused a sensation among lead
ipg democrats ho expected to adopt
the administration plank without
amendment.
Senator Walsh ; first urged a com
plete substitute for the so-called Vir
ginia plank. Senator Wahlh holds
that the adoption of his amendment
Justified the democratic senators who
vpted for the Lodge reservations.

"If the Essex had a few days long
er to grow wings, it could fly," said
Colonel William Fry this morning, fol
lowing the latest Btunt performed by
this remarkable car, when' on yester
day "Wild Man" Matthews swam the
Essex across Duck river at the Sowell
ford. At this place the water is be
tween three and four feet deep, and
the Essex made the trip across the
river and return without a hitch. The
only inconvenience was the fact' that
the Wild, Man got his feet wet when
the water poured up into the body of
tho car.
Since the first of the present
"Watch the Essex Week" this car has
been put through all manner of seem
ingly impossible gaits, climbing the
twenty per cent grade on the Wil
liams bill on the Santa Fe pike 'in
high gear, walking Up the court house
steps, pulling to the top of reservoir
hill, and running for twenty-one and
one-half miles on one gallon of gaso
line, touring around and hitting 'em
off at the rate of a little better than
a mile per minute. .
Those who have not actually wit
nessed these remarkable perform
ances find , it hard to be lieve them,
but sufficient evidence has been secur
ed of each test to make It official.
About the only thing the Essex
has not yet done is to take wings and
fly and the "Wild Man" is becom
ing more and more convinced that
this could be done with a little prac
tice. . '
