TAFT BEFoRE COMMITTEE
Told of the AbrOgatiOn of the
Treaty with the sultan of suIu.


Washington, March 4.-Secretary
Taft was heard to-day by the House
Committee on Military Affairs. Chair
man Cooper read to the committee a
Cablegram sent by Secretary Taft
March 2, abrogating the Bates treaty
between the United States and the Sui
tan of Sulu and his dattoes.

and replied that the action was taken
because disturbances in the Jolo group
indicated that the Moros had violated
the terms of the treaty. Under con-
ditions which existed the Secretary
said he regarded the executive author
ity ample to abrogate the treaty. The
treaty, he said, was an executive
agreement" or modus vivendi.

Article 10 before he approved the
treaty.

my babe was born seemingly fair,

broke. 1t did not heal but grew worse,
and the sore spread from the size Of
dime to that of q dollar. l used all
kinds of remedies that / could think of,
but nothing seemed to help; in fact, 1t
grew worse. Her hair fell out where
the sore was, and feared 1t would never
grow again. 1t continued until my aged
rather came on visit, and when he
saw the baby he told me to get Cutt-
cura Soap and Ointment right away.
To please him did so, and to my
surprise by their use the sore began to
heal over, the hair grew over 1t, and
Today she has nice head of hair, her

BEVERIDGE BELLOWS

 ON COMMITTEE.
Actions of the Indiana Man Result in the Displacement of the
 Patriarch Cullom and
 Trouble is Afoot.

Washington. Feb. 17.-(Special. )-The selection of the congressional funeral escort for Senator Hanna has been the occasion of some rancorous reflections. the chief target of which is Senator Rev. eridge of Indiana.
 The Senate representatives were ap- pointed by President pro tefn Frye. As soon as Beveridge saw that his name was not of the escort. he threw fit of dismay and tore around the capitol try ing to rectify his omission from the rites.
 The fact that his colleague. Mir. Fair banks. was on the committee. constrain- ed him to appeal to Senator Frye to be allowed to go. too, saying that 1t was now a political necessity for him to go
 Mfr. Frye said States and not individ- uals were to be recognized. Beyeridge then wanted to know how it was Rhode Island had both Senators Aldrich and Wetmore on the committee. Beveridgo was informed that Aldrich was a per sonal friendIof Senator Hanna and Wet more's appointment had been asked for by the Hanna family, with whom he was intimate. ..
 With a running start and this cue Beveridge put out for the Arlington, the residence of the Hannas, and virtually placed his political fortunes in the hands of the grief stricken family, with the re- suit that they asked that he be put upon the committee
 This caused the displacement of Sena- tor Cullonl, of Illinois, a friend Of Sem ator Hanna and lover of President Roosevelt
 Senator Cullou's anger can hardly be described. R. H. Watkins.
