CROSSED PECAN AND HICKORY
By The .Associated Press.
AUSTIN, Tex., Oct. 20.—A cross
between the pecan and hickory nut
'has been secured by James E. Dayton
of Valley View, Texas.
A number of these nuts have been
sent to the Texas Department of Ag-
riculture. They are hard shell, con-
siderably larger than the average pe-
can, and partake of the flavor and
appearance of both original nuts.
Nut experts predict this cross will
produce nut of greater vitality which
may be produced over a wider area.

U. S. Participation in Carrying Out
Treaty Must Await Senate's Action
Government Will Not Accept Invitation of Su-
preme Council to Take Place on Commis-
sions; no Troops Unless Senate Votes
By The Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 20.—
Taking notice of reports that the
United States might aid in carrying
out provisions of the peace treaty
in advance of the treaty's ratifica-
tion, by the senate; the administra-
tion announced today that the Amei-
ican diplomatic and military partici-
pation in certain of these provisions
must wait until the senate has acted.
At the state department it was
declared this government would not
accept the invitation of the supreme
council at Versailles, to take a place
immediately on the international
commissions, set up by the treaty,
and at the war department it was
made clear that no American troops
would be used without senate sanc-
tion to police districts where the
treaty provides for plebiscites under
the military supervsion of the great
powers.
I The two announcements were made
simultaneously and generally were
' accepted in the senate where the pes-
jsibility of premature American par-
ticipation in the treaty has been one
| of the storm-centers of criticism, as
| amounting fro an administration dec-
laration of policy on the subject. Sen-
ators on both sides of the treaty con-
: troversy expressed the opinions pri-
vately tonight that administration's
stand would aid in hastening the
final roll call on ratification.

There was a meeting of the Eren-
harn I'ire Department, last evening
wit.li President T. W. Fulkenberg pre-
siding and Chief E. P. Davis in at-
tendance, with a good representation
of tiit" membership of the local fire-
men.
One of the principal matters up
for consideration was wjjere the car-
nival would be held. It was at first
thought that the carnival Would be
held on a lot north of the city, but
matters have come up which con-
vinced the firemen that it would be
far more profitable to hold the carn-
ival upon the streets of the city, and
the decision was reached in this re-
gjard. J he carnival wi]l, be staged
upon the streets of Brenham and in
Such a manner that it will interfere
with the traffic upon these streets
as little as possible. It is believed
that this will prove much more popu-
lar with the majority of the citizen-
ship arid that a greater attendance
to the carnival will be possble.
The applications of Henry Tucker,
Wm. J. Tucker, Dr. M. D. Burnett,
Albert Gajeska and Hans Nagel were
read and these gentlemen were voted
upon and elected to m"/nbership in
the department.
A committee composed of Messrs.
T. W. Fulkenberg. L. M. Keaumier,
E. Wilkinson arid Robt. Lindemann
were appointed to go before the city
council and ask that a suitable build-
ing be ervcted upon thc property of
Blinn Memorial College in this city,
tn which to house the fire equipment
of the Blinn Fire Department. Be-
cause of the splendid work which this
auxiliary of the Brenham Fire De-
partment has accomplished in com-
bating fire and protecting property
in that Section of the city it is be-
lieved that the City of Brenham will
grant the request and have#a suit-
able building erected.
