Washington, July IS. President Wilson talked over the peace treaty with four more republican senators at the White House Friday and later he went to the capitol and discussed the entire senate situation with Senator Hitchcock, leader of the ad ministration forces in the ratifica tion fight. The republican senators asked for information about many features of the treaty and Senator Hitchcock tcld the president of other points that have come into dispute during senate debate. At the end of tha day of conferences, Mr. Wilson told a group of correspondents he was satisfied that to reach a solution it was only necessary to "clarify coun sel." There had been many misunder standings about the treaty. the .-resident said, adding that some of the constructions placed on it seem ed to hi in evident misinterpreta tions. Senator McNary. Oregon, one of the republicans who went to the White Hou e. .said first impressions I about the Shantung settlement had been softened ly his talk with the president. While Senator Capper. Kansas, said Mr. Wilson had given him nruch new and pertinent infor- matie-n on that subject. Senators i Kellogg. Minnesota, and Kcnyon. Iowa, the others ho taw the i: resi dent, declined afterward to talk. S-iiator JIcNary has been a sup- porter of the league of nations. J m I'il.-' the others have not taken a ; definite stand regarding it. J '"I found myself practically in 1 I t i il i 1 1 1 in I r BOB SEEDS H-I1 tell you "The Way It Looks from the Road."

" The prtident was very ready to give information about the nego tiation?. Mr. Capper said "and he has a great deal of it. especially re garding Shantung, that is to the point. However, I have not changed my opinion that certain re -crvat ionr-. are necessary in ratifying the treaty." Senator Hitchcock described th president as feeling "very cheerful" over the senate outlook, though he said Mr. Wilson did not discuss what the republican senator had said at the White House. The Ne braska senator said that he had told the president it was assured that the treaty could not be amended. Another Message Expected. One result of Friday's conference was to strengthen the report that the president soon might setm to the senate a special message regard ing Shantung. Some of the White House callers during the pa.it two days have gained th impression that seme sort of declaration on the subject certainly would be forth coming, and opinion, seer.vd gener al that it probably would take the form of a senate mes-age. perhaps delivered by the president in per son.

RECOMMENDS SIX-CENT FARE FOR OMAHANS Lincoln. July lti. Tluv supreme cemrt of Nebraska in an opinion handed down Wednesday reverses the state railway commission in the application of the Omaha v Coun cil IMuffs street, railway ccmpany fc-r and emergency rate to be r burped for street car fares. While the court sets no specific amount to be charged. it sug gests that cents for a single fare and 10 tickets for a", cents should be an emergency rate pending an investigation as to the earnings ef the ce-inpany. The court in its opin ion says: "The fundamental iii'iuiry in fix ing rates tf a public service utility always is: What rate is necessary in crder te yie a reasonable average return on a fair valuation of the pTpefty for rate-making purposes uc-h a return a.; will pot discourage but will attract the iuvertinent of capital in the utility.
