with TREATY BACK ON WILSON'S FRONT STEP Document turned Over to Tumulty After Senate Re jects It Where to Bury It Is Problem. VOTED D0WN49 TO 35

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, March 20. The treaty of Versailes was returned to President Wilson today by the senate after It had failed of ratification last night, 49 to 35, for a fourth time. There was no intimation as to what ' President Wilson would do with the treaty. White house officials said the usual procedure would be to send it to the state department for "burial" In the archives there. The document, which was delivered to the senate by the president In person last July 10, was taken to the yWhlte house by George A. Sanderson, 'secretary of the senate. Tj was accompanied by two senate 1 4, clerks and the party was received by " Rudolph Forster, executive clerk of - the White house. M. Forster did not accept the treaty, however, the visitors being referred to Secretary Tumulty. Would Be Pigeon-holed. Suggestion that President Wilson might return the treaty to the senate brought emphatic statements from the majority that it virtually would be pigeon-holed in the foreign relations committee. In any case the treaty question was regarded as already injected into the presidential campaign as one of the main issues on which republicans and democrats will fight for national Indorsement this fa!!. Ratification was defeated last night by a vote of 49 to 35, the line up being 28 republicans and 21 democrats for and 23 democrats and 12 republicans against. The net result of four months of compromise negotiations was the addition of 17 democrats to those voting for ratification. After the vote was taken, Senator Robinson, Democrat, Arkansas, moved 1o reconsider but was ruled out on a point of order. No appeal from the ruling was taken, leaders on both sides being convinced that it was hopeless to expect affirmative action with the!

senate member?hip constituted as It! now is. i

The final adverso vote was the fourth by which the Senate refused to approve the treaty, three others having ben taken in November. House Action Needed. Action by the House of Representatives would be necessary to consummate a declaration of peace by resolution, as contempjated by Senator . Knox. His resolution proposes the rePeal of the joint reservation declaring war and provides that unless Germany rotifies the United States of its acceptance of all undertakings contained in the treaty of Versailles the President would have the power to prohibit by proclamation commercial intercourse between the two nations or the giving of any assistance to Germany. When the Knox resolution was put forward last December, considerable opposition to it became manifest in the house. There is a question whether the two legislative branches could get together an an acceptable draft of the resolution or of President Wilson would accept it if passed. His signature is required to make joint resolutJons effective. Senator Fall last summer submitted a series of questions to the president tegarding the peace question, in which lie asked if congress and the president could not declare peace by a "proces verbal" such as a resolution. President Wilson was emphatic at that time in Iiis disapproval of such a course. President Would Uot Approve. "I feel constrained to say," he wrote llie New Mexico Senator, "not only that in my judgment I have not the power by proclamation to declare that peace exists, but that I could in no circumstance consent to take such a course prior to the ratification of a formal treaty of peace. "I feel it due to perfect frankness to say that it would in my opinion put a

f-train upon our national honor which ; we never could efface, if after sending our men to the battlefield to fight the! t common cause, we should abandon our y sssociates in the war in the settlement '

of the terms or peace and dissociate ourselves from all responsibility with regard to those terms." "Cheep" Say Chicks Sent Thronzh P. 0. Bnt They're Going Higher, Anyway Cheep?" Not noticeably so! A sure sign of spring, and a sure sign that the High Cost of Living is not going to be materially reduced, as far as poultry Is concerned, for some time, has been sounding through the Richmond postoffice for the last week. Newly hatched chicks are being sent to poultry raisers throughout the country by parcel post. The chicks are keeping the postoffice cheerful with their continual chirping, and are i apparently perfectly contented in their specially constructed cases, under the care of Uncle Sam. Their value has increased about 400 percent in the last few years as well, as the chicks are now listed as being worth 20 cents apiece, whereas they were formerly sold for five cents. Chicks are the only living things that1 can be carried by mails, as they can be left for 48 hours without food or water, without injury. GEDDES SAILS APRIL 10 WASHINGTON, March 20.

The Spartacans at Essen are declared in one report to have had an army of 100,000 men with artillery and armored cars.

It is provided this y-ar that all shall deal with the subject alike to the end that there shall be equality of assessment with the minimum of error, and that these items in the supplementary lists shall be used as a means to an end, and that these classes of property Fhall be returned as all other classes of property, at their true cash value. "Assessing officers are required to take an oath that they will assess all property at its true cash value, and the responsibility of this work must be theirs. "If the assessor agrees with the taxpayer and he is informed of the facts and knows the amount agreed upon to be true cash value, then he may use discretion, as the lists were prepared and intended to aid him and the taxpayer, but the responsibility of the assessor can not oe waived under his oath, as it only permits such discretion as will enable him to ascertain the facts which should be known In order to make correct returns."
