According to the story told to the J
police, Anna went out into the back
yard about 10 o'clock last night for
the purpose of tp-king in some clothes
which were hanging on the line. She
returned to the house a few minutes
later with her arms full of clothes,
and when she stepped inside the door
was attacked by the two men. The
clothes were thrown over her head
to prevent her making an outcry, ana
in a few seconds the girl was secure
ly bound hand and foot and a rough
gag was thrust into her mouth. The
mauraders then ransacked the kitch

Washington, March 11 With Sen
ators on both sides of the treaty rat
ification fight disregarding the plans
of their party leaders in their desire
:o reach a compromise on the much
disputed Article Ten, the situation to

Tactic agreement was reached to

( Reservation Republicans and reser
j vation Democrats have joined forces
against irreconcilable foes of the
i treaty who have gone gunning for the
compromise reservation to Article
Ten which was to have been present

their opposition forestalled. The split
in the Democratic ranks has widened
as a result of determination expressed
by some members of the minority to
give active support toward acceptance
of the best compromise possible. Re
publicans claim that 32 Democratic
votes can be mustered for the sub-
reservation to Article Ten.
