DO AS YOU'RE DONE BY.
A RULE OF ACTION PROPOSED BY
SENATOR FRYE

Which He Thinks win Help Solve the
Fisheries Problem - Amusement for
Electric Investigators s-Milburn's Pray
ers Again-A Slant at Bogus Batter.
WASHINGTON Cry, April 12-Senator
Frye elucidated the fisheries question
to thesenate Friday in support
of his resolution declaring against
the appointment of a commission to
negotiate with Canada He gave history
OF the troubles previous to the
negotiation of the Washington treaty and
concerning the advantages of that treaty,
he said; First-With regarl to wood
water and shelter, but We hal those before
and now, too, under the treaty of 1918
Second-Of commercial privileges, none,
under the treaty. Third The right to take
fish within the three mi Q limit What
has this been worth to us? The
right to take bait would have been of value
but the moment we undertook to avail our
selves OF 1t we found cables cut, nets de.
stroyed; all manner of damages inflicted
As to our rights in Canadian waters, Frye
contended that commercial privileges would
be convenient, and in his opinion we were
entitled to them regardless of the abroga-
tion of tho treaty OF Wa 'hington, even if
the treaty OF ISIS is now revived.
In conclusion he said the republicssshould
insist upon the same commercial privileges
in the ports and harbors of the Dominion
OF Canada as she enjoys in ours. If these
are not aecedeI, then congress should
promptly resort to retaliatory legislation
and our government send into those waters
armed cruisers, not TO perpetrate any
wrongs upon or do any injustice to our
neighbors, but to protect our own citizens
from outrage
While delivering his remarss Frye was
asked by salisbury whether friendly rela
tions could bo maintained with the British
colonies without the appointment of a com
mission to consider and settle these fishery
questions
Frye replied Beyond any manner of
question, when this country puts herself
even into decent position in regard to
these matters, If this country permits Great
Britain and Canada by outrages and viola
tion OF all rights of hospitality TO drive us
into the surrender of our markets. why, we
never can have leace with Canada; but, if
Canada understood that when she closes her
ports, as she is doing to-day. the ports of
the United States are to he closed, too, you
Will have no trouble with Canada-not the

Amusing Testimony of Stillson Hutchins
Before the Pan Electric.
WASHINGTON CITY, April 12-Before the
committee investigating the Pan Eleetric
matter Friday, Sillson Hutchins, proprietor
of the Washington Post was examined.
Mr.. Hutchins was before the committee but
a short time His testimony was important
but while he remained he made it lively for
the committee and everybody else He had
offered to relieve Senator Vest OF his bad in
vestment in Pan Electric stock by taking it
from him at cost price-S1,0W for 100
shares. This was mere spasm of generos-
ity on Hutchin's part, prompted by old
friendship and desire to relieve the sena
tor of any embarrassment growing out of
newspaper clamor about his owning Pan
Electric stock When he first offered to
take the stock, his friend the Missouri sena-
tor, was inclined to dispose of it, but subse
quently he sent the witness note i'm which
he said the newspaper clamor was unj Just,
and that in spite of it he wouldn't sell
property which he had acquired
legitimately, at any price This
was as near as the witness
ever came to owning Pan-Electric stock.
DIR. Rogers had once written to the wit.
ness and offered him considerable block OF
Pan Electric stocs-$l0,U00 worth-if he
would publish some of Rogers poetry.
