Terms Are Kept Secret.
The proclamation does not recite the
terms OF the agreement. 1t is said that
each government viii proclaim only
such features of the arrangement as
are necessary for the guidance of its
own officials administering it. The ar
rangement itself will not be made pub
lie at present.
The putting into operation of the
German meat bill is deferred for an
indefinite period. The official eX-
PLANTATION is that the purpose of its
suspension is simply to allow of the
execution of existing contracts held by
American meat packers. 1t is not dis
coverable just now whether or not this
meat act figures in1any way in the re-
ciprocity agreement, and it may be,
and probably is, the fact that the sus-
pension has been arranged for separ-
ately.
The state department is perfectly
satisfied with what has been secured
under the agreement for American ex-
porters, and though the proclamation
enumerates no special privileges con-
ferred upon these exporters. the depart
ment officials feel that they will be
/ satisfied with the results attained when
they are fully disclosed.

A TALK WITH
j. EDWARD GIBSON.
Says He Didn't Try to Bride
Gov. Longino--He bNot
Afraid and VIII
GO BACK TO JACKSON
To Bid on the Contract for
Building the Mississippi
Capital.

Louisville, Nov. 3O.-The Courier.
journal prints the following
J. Edward Gisbon, contractor of
Logansport, Ind, whose arrest created
q sensation at Jackson, Miss, last
Saturday, after he had, according to
the allegation of Govrnor Longino, in
the presence of the governors secre-
tary, offered that official bride of
$15, 900, was in Jacksonville yester-
day. He was there for the purpose
OF visiting a friend between trains,
and at A 30 o'clock he left for Logans-
port. He was accompanied from
jackson by P. W. Moore, one Of his
business associates.
Until now, Mr.. Gibson has made no
statement. He said:
II have no fear of being indicted.
My trial is set for January Governor
Longino is not bad fellow at all
have nothing to say against him
except that he is in a tight box.
We talked frequently, but the ad-
vances were all from one side," Mr..
Gibson said. 90 assure you I never
offered Governor Longino bride in
dividually or in the presence Of any
man. just wait and the people will
have different opinion of some peo-
pie down in Mississippi.
In the first place, my trip South
with Mr.. Moore, my consulting engi-
neer, was to get the plans and specifi-
cations for the new capitol building.
have been in the business too long
to do what Governor Longino
charges. ?"
He had little to say about the for
nation of a combine between st.
Louis and Chicago contractors, in
which Architect Link was alleged by
him to be connected, and that all con-
tracts had been farmed out among
members of the combine. He reiter-
ated that he had sufficient financial
backing to build the capitol in jack
son and did not care anything about
combines.
II want to say continued Mr..
Gibson, that l shall be bidder on
the work, reports to the contrary not
withstanding that propositions from
me will not be considered l shall
pass through Jeffersonville next
Tuesday on my way to jackson. The
bids are to be opened December 10.
my purpose in going to Logans-
port is to have a conference with
Messrs. Moore, Crawford and Red
man, the members of our firm, con-
corning the bids.
''Afer my arrest 1 received assur-
ances of sympathy and aid from many
of the leading people in jackson.
The president of the First National
Bank, mayor and other officials stated
to me that they were my friends.
The people should suspend judgment
concerning me. l am not even wor-
ried, not to speak of the fear of a
81, 900 fine and five years imprison-
ment, the possible penalty for trying
to corrupt state official in Mississ-
ippi."
Mr.. Gibson was in happy frame
of mind.
