Twd-thlrds Vote Appears For First Time in Fight on Peace Treaty
A CAMPAIGN ISSUE
Waahlnsrton. Feb, ;i.—Tho Senate today rejected two proposed compro- miae a»«dlflcaUons of the Lo<lga res- •rrationa on withdrawal from th* Laagua of Nations and hy more, than a tvo-tJUrda vote adopted tbe original I^Mfge reservation on thi.s iiuestion. Tkia Is tho flrst time in tho whois treaty flght that" any Question voted on has beea earned by a two-thirds vote.
Senator Lodge w.ls beaten by the v«tas of Republican senators in on •Rort to amend his own reservation. Senator Hitchcock's proposed change waa defeated even morn deci.sivriy.
The bituation. at the close of the voting, titood just where it wab last Nowamber. To many Senators it waa proof of the impossibility of getting together on compromise ratification, for the Question voted on today was considered one of tlie miner points of difference.
The \-otin>j r*me as the ciimaj: to an animated debate during which Sen¬ ators Iiodge and Aahurst added their statement!;, that the treaty Is in i.oll- tlr», to the expressions of others Sen¬ ators aJopK' that line. The del ate was largely political and centered about tho form the issue will take In Uie cam¬ paign- When tho debate ended ard a voto was celled f.)r upon tlie pendim: ques¬ tion, Sen<itui^ Ilitcliruck, ou buhalf of the Democrats, moved to amend tht Lodge reservation on wUhdrawjU to make it provide that notice of with¬ drawal be given by a joint rescluliof of Congress, instead af a concurtoiit resolution. Senator Lodije objected t«> this fiuestion holnc: put b ut Senator Cummins, wbo wa^i presiding, ruled against him. The amendment Hitch- rock offered wsa in line with th« sug¬ gestion President W-Ison made in hj-i lattor of Janu&a-y -ti to Ilitchcout con¬ cerning rei»ervat ions.
President's Veto.
The President took the position tliat a Joint resolution would give him .i chance to e.xerclse the veto power and would therefore mi.ke it neces.sary for Congress to muoter a two-thirds vot'> to override the P^sidrnt and net the United States out cf the league against hta will.
The vole on the Hitchcock propose.* waa £C ayee and 38 noes. There were no Republican votes for It. Three Z>eiBOcrais and 35 Republicans voted against U. The next roll call came upon the amendmont jiroposcd by Ixdge which would have permitted notice of withdrawal to bo given by Ihe President on his own motion or by Congr<-Bs whenever a majority oi both houses thought it neceasar\-. This was defeated by one wte. Thirty- two senators votod for it and ZZ kgoinsU
The Republican •irroconcilobles*' oarried out tho throat they made to vote with tbe Democrats apain&i ;u:y proposal to change th*" Lodge reaerva- tioaa. Twenty-flve Republicans and sevon Deraeorats supp-^rttd the aJDei}dment while ZZ RepublicaiuD and 10 Democrata opposed tt
A voia was then called for upon the orlgnal Lodge reaervaUon providing that notice of witlidrawai be given by ft concurrent sesoluLion. Upon this the votA was 46 ayee to 20 noes, more thou tMTO-thirds inajarity. Thirty-five Re-1 publicans and ten Domocrais .-supported It, while twenty Democrats opposed it. The Campaign Issue
The ds«>ate which preceded th<' vot¬ ing began when Senator W;U:ih of Mffilt^ne. a D«aiocrat, took iaaue with Senator Rerah as to what Uic qucs- tlen would be when the treaty went into the oainpaipn. Borah's position ia that the quesUon wlU be whether the Senate shall be instructed to ratify the treaty or reject it, but Walsh said that to hie mind the situation would be tha^ the R<>publiciin candidate run on a platform favoring raUfication with tbe Uad^ reservaUons and the Demo¬ craUc candidate would favor ratifica- Uon with intarpretaUve reeervationa.
Smith of Georgia «aid that the proper soluUon would be to run a cand¬ idate pledged to take the United Statea oat of the League enUrely. Senator | Walsh said that he undor.^tood that | Banaior Johnson of CaJuomia was ss»lrlnr the KepubUcan nominaUon for Praaldsnt OO that very platform, but ¦aid he did not know how Johnson would reooncUe his position with that of EUhu Root

Girl's Legs Break Under Own Weight; Odd Accident Case Is Reported Here
Collapsing under her own weight aher being bed-ridden for more than a year. Louise Major, ciged 25, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mamhall Major of 12 7 Westminster street, had both legs broken as she stood in her room being measured for braces to be used in correcting a lingering ailment The bones of the lower Hmbs snapped while she was being assisted in standing erect by-members of her family. Her condition was announced as being serious.
The accident to Miss Major is considered the most unusual to ever befall an invalid in the history of locail medical men. There was no violence causing the simultaneous fractures. The weight of the body proved too much for the bopes which had become britUe in a year's sickness.
Miss Major had until recently never left her bed for a year and a half. Some time ago her peu-ents arranged with a local physician to have braces made for her. It was hoped that the braces would .enable her to get about her home. To test her strength she was lifted from bed a day before the measurements were to be taken. After spending some minutes propped up in a chair she returned to bed.
On Friday the medical man called at the home to take the measurements. For the second time in more than a year the young womsm was lifted from bed. She was supported by mem¬ bers of her family, who lowered her to the floor. She had barely placed her weight on the floor when there was a snap¬ ping of bones in both legs. The relatives assisting her prevented her from falling to the floor.
A hasty examination revealed that the bone in one leg had snapped off at the ankle. In the other limb the fracture occurred just above the knee.
