WASHINGTON, Nov. 7—In first test of strength on the reserva- tions to the Peace Treaty proposed by the Foreign Relations Committes, the Senal refused to-day, by a.vote to 40,, @ strike out the provision ‘the preai ble which would require acceptance \ the reservations by free of the d er powers.

This vote was taken after a con- ference between Mr. Wilson and Sen- ator Hitchock at which the President made known his opposition to the committee reservations and also the id the reservations and that the pre- amble would be “very embarrassing.” By the same vote and with the same partisan alignment, the Senate rejected another amendment, offered Dy Benator McCumber, to the pre- amblé proposing that acceptance of geservations “might be" affected by | \ exchange of diplomatic notes. The Massachu- voted committee preamble requires such an | xchange of notes. The Senate also rejected a proposal dy Senator Borah, to require that all ‘our instead of three of the Great lowers be required to accept the res- ervations.

Michael Monahan, for thirty years in charge at night of | Pennsylvania Pier No, 4, North River, an authority on North River tides, said that never before had he seen the river rise to within eighteen inches of the ‘top of the bulkbeads along West Street. On tho New York side of the river the sewer entrances were choked and the sewers overflowed into West Street and into the cross streets ad- Jacent. Vesey, Murray, Cortlandt and Barclay Streets were flooded from curb to curb and the filthy water ran over the sidewalks and into ware- house basements. Customers were cut off from the produce and fruit commission houses, Cellar stocks were afloat, The unloading of trucks from ferry- boats lifted high above the normal level of the landing bridges was dif_i- cult and dangerous. Deckhands and drivers retarded the descent of the sharp grades by holding back on the wheels with ropes. Women passen- gers of the ferries made their way to higher levels by leaps, made diMcult by tight skirts or made gigglingly em- barrassing by raising the same, Many feet and legs went wet to gffices. In Hoboken the tide rose above the bukheads of the Lackawanna ferries at the north of the series of alips Passengers embarked by crossing from the upper stage of the ferry house to the upper decks, Trucks were allowed to approach the uptilted bridges to the boats one at a time, taking a galloping take-off.

Repeal of Statewide Prohibition Also Apparently Beaten by 26,000, COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 7.—The Fed- eral Prohibition amendment appears surely to have been ‘beaten, according to additional returns from Tuesday's election received at the office of the Secretary of State to-day. Complete unofficial and official re- turns from all but ten of the eighty- elght counties gave the “wets” a lead of 9,154 against the amendment. The ten missing counties a year ago gave dry majorities of 8,237. The vote tn the 78 counties on the federal prohibition amendment was: for ratification, 461,926; against ratiq- cation, 471,080, Majority aguinst rati- fication in favor of the “wets,” 9,164. On the three remaining proposals the “drys” apparently have been suc- cessful on two and the “wets” on the other. The “drys” victories, which are conceded by t" leaders, are {on the 2.75 per cent. beer proposal and the proposition to repeal Statewide prohibition, Both these proposals ap- parently have been defeated by ma: jorities ranging from 15,000 to 30,000. The wet victory was scored on the Crabbe State prohibition enforcement measure, which probably has been de- fea by more than 30,000, Dry lead- ers concede its defeat. panei Aceh OHIO WETS?

Bell, attorney for the Call- fornia Grape Protective Association, said to-day that the victory of the Ohio wets in the referendum on the ratification of the Federal amend- ment by the Legislature will have a big effect in the eleven States in which similar referendums are to be taken, The election of Edward Edwards as Governor of New Jersey on a wet platform will also have an tmportant bearing, he predicts, Mr. Bell said: “The result in Ohio will have a tre- mendous psychologiqal effect, pro- vided there are no opinions adverse to the liquor interest from the United States Supreme Court or the Su- preme Courts of States where refer- endums are pending. The National Prohibition amendments will stand State electorates may suspend or dorso pational measures.” 'NEW MOVE MAYE END COAL STRIKE | POWERS MUST ACCEPT U. S.
