BACON ASKS TO DELAY TREATY
Georgian wants senate 20 Deter
Action ON west Indies Pending the
House Investigation.

WASHINGTON, April lin the execu-
tive session In the senate today Senator
Bacon of Georgia offered a resolution re-
q~uesting the president to defer the issuing
Of his proclamation announcing the aca1iel-
tion OF the Danish West indies under the
terms Of the treaty recently negotiated
with Denmark until the pending invebtiga-
tion OF the charges Of bribery made in con-
nection with the treaty should be concluded
by the house Of representatives. The reso-
luton provoked a smart debate, which was
participated In by Senators Bacon and
Money, both democratic members Of the
committee on foreign relations. on the one
side, and by Senators Cullom, Lodge,
Hanna, Allison, Nelson and other repub-
licans on the other side.
In presenting the resolution Senator
Bacon said that he brought It to the atten-
ton Of the senate out Of a sense OF duty
and Of high regard for the position Of that
body before the country.
He outlined the charges made by Nieis
Gron regarding the allegations OF
bribery made by Christmas, another
subject Of Denmark. Mr.. Bacon said that
he did not for a minute accept this report
as true, but felt that inasmuch as the
house had taken suflcient cognizance Of Il
to order an investigation the senate should
take some step. in view Of it's recent action
in ratifying the treaty, looking to the sus-
pension OF final action by this country.
Mr.. Bacon was interrupted frequently by
republican senator's, and when he took his
seat there were several of them on the
floor ready to respond to his suggestion.
They agreed to q man that the senate was
not called on 10 take any action under the
"Reminiscences aauip0 that tha aAnx-.. ia
not been made public and were not known
when the treaty was ratified, that the presi-
dent could be depended Upon to perform his
duties without any hint from the senate
and that the house investigation probably
very soon would develop that the charges
were based on nothing.
Senator Nelson spoke with more feeling
most other senators, saying in his
opinion to take any such step as was con-
templated by the resolution under the cir
would be an insult to the gov
eminent Of Denmark.
Senator Hanna denied all knowledge OF
Mr.. Christmas and his mission, and ex-
pressed the opinion that the transaction,
so far as the United States government was
concerned had been perfectly clean.
Senator Money spoke In the same vein a.
had Senator Bacon, saying that he saw no
objection to the passage OF the resolutions,
as they would only serve to delay the mat
ter for a brief time In case the charges
should prove to be without foundation,
while II they we're true much good could be
done by the delay. Senator Bacon closed
the incident by saying that he would not
press the resolution In view Of the express.
sions Of 30 many senators. and in con.
sequence of this announcement the senate
adjourned without taking action. ga

the money needed is at hand" said A. C.
Boyd, director OF the mining department
OF the road. IAN Of US were much pleased
with what we saw In Mexico. The advant-
ages Of the road have been under-estimated.
