PRESIDENT TAKES
SENATE TO TASK
ON ARBITRATION
Executive Locks Horns With Upper Cham
Der of Congress Over Word agreement
in Treaties With Foreign Powers

In a letter to Senator Cullonf, made
public today. President Roosevelt ex-
presses emphatically and at length his
views on the arbitration treaties now
pending before the Senate as reported
from the Committee on Foreign Reia-
tions.
The issue Is now fairly Joined be-
tween the Senate and President, and the
outcome will be watched with interest.
If there is to be any backing down,
it will be by the Senate, say the Presf-
as-1t's friends, for he has. time and
again, said he would not submit any
emasculated arbitration treaties to the
interested nations for ratification, and
his letter of yesterday only makes his
statement in this regard more positive.
In the letter the President says:
7 learn that the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations has reported the
arbitration treaties TO the Senate,
amending them by substituting for the
word agreement in the second article
the word treaty
Effect of Amendment.
1.-The effect of the amendment is to
make it no longer possible, as between
its contracting parties, to submit any
matter whatever TO arbitration without
first obtaining a. special treaty to cover
the case. This will represent not a
step forward, but q step backward If
the word treaty be substituted. the re-
suit is that every such agreement must
be submitted to the Senate; and these
general arbitration treaties would then
cease to be such, and, indeed, in thet-
amended form, they amount to a specific
pronouncenent against the whole ~ in
ciple of a general arbitration treaty
THE Senate has. of course. the abso-
lutte right to reject or to amend in any
way it sees fit any treaty laid before 1T
and it is clearly the duty of the Senate
The Washington times., 1905-02-11

to take any step which, in the exercise
of its best judgment it deems to be for
the best interest of the nation If how
ever, in the Judgment of the President,
given amendment nullifies Il proposed
treaty. 1t seems to me 1t is no less clear
ly MS duty TO refrain from endeavor-
ing to secure ratification by the other
contracting power or powers. of the
amended treaty: and. after much
thought, l have come to the conclusion
that / ought TO write and tell you tha.
such is my Judgment in this case.
Changed for the Worse.
1T would not, in my judgment be
wise or expedient to try to secure the
assent of the other contracting powers
to the amended treaties. for If even such
assent were secured we should still re-
main precisely where we were before.
save where the situation may be chang
ed a little for the worse In the amend
ed form the treaties contain nothing
except an expression of barren intention.
As such do not think they should re-
cetve TIE sanction of this Government
Personally. it is not my opinion that
this Government lacks the power to en-
ter into general treaties of arbitrat tion,
but if / am in error, and If this Govern
ment has no power to enter into gem
eral treaties. then it seems to me that
it is better not to attempt to make them
rather than TO make the attempt III such
shape that they shall accomplish liter
ally nothing whatever w en- made"
Senator Cullom called at the White
House to inform the President that the
sentiment of the Senate, notwithstanding
the Presidents wishes in the matter
was in favor of the proposed amend
| ment to the treaties and against any
special agreements with foreign coun-
tries by the executive branch OF the
Government without the advice and
consent Of the Senate.

The meeting Of the House Committee

this morning especially to consider the
bill authorizing the construction of Il

to the fact that not Il quorum of the

II is not known when the next meeting

assumption is that next Thursday a
quorum Will be obtained that being the

this occur, however, there is no

1t was suggested at the Capitol TODAY
that special session of the committee

be improbable.

ACCOUNTS ARE CORRECT
EXAMINER sEDBERRY REPORTS
 ON TWO COUNTIES.
OflciaIs of Taliadegn and EtOwah COm- mended and no Criticisms Level- ed at the Low Tax Assess
 ments.

Captain G. F. Sedberry, Assistant Btate Examiner of Public Accounts, yesterday reported to the Governor on the condition of the books of Talladega and Etowah Counties. They wese all found to have been correctly kept, in- cluding vouchers and accounts in every case.
 Unlike the reports of most coun- ties % late. the report on these two counties submitted yesterday had no criticism about the assessments being too low. It is presumed that the as- sessors of Talladega and Etowah, Tn the absence of criticism, are doing good work in raising the assessments to an equitable level.
 Each of the two counties examin- ed by Captain Sedberry has city court and note was made of the fact that the State. gets few fees from the circuit courts clerks because the solicitors in the city courts, under the law, earn the fees, as most criminal eases are tried in the latter courts. The work of the solicitors was commended in each county.
 The officers, past and present of Eto- wah County, whose books were exam fned and reported correctly kept yes terday are as follows: William Chand- Ter, sheriff: A. F. Barnes, tax collect or; J. p. wII1fanaa. County Superintend- ent of education; T. J. Walker. tax as- sessor: J. w. Penn, judge of probate; James T. Brooks, clerk of the city court of Gadsden; J. H. Lovejoy. ex-judge of probate.
 Those of Talladega County whose booke were reported correct were J. B. Edward. sheriff; H. A. Cook. assessor; J. A. Woodward. tax collector; M. H. Sims, clerk of the circuit court. and clerk of the city court of Talladega; J. E. Camp, judge of probate; and J., C. Williams. county superntendent of ed ucation *.>..@

issued by the State for the capture and conviction of Lum Keller, a white man convicted few days ago in his county man.
 Sheriff Moore caught Keller about thirty days ago in Fort Smith, Ark, and brought him to Jasper where he was convicted and sentenced to eigh- teen years In the penitentiary for man slaughter. The State had offered a re- ward of $100 for his capture, and 1t was to secure this amount that the Walker County officer held an interview with the Governor yesterday Unless he can get the reward money he will be out of his own pocket over $10O. He thinks this would be a hardship in view of the fact that through his industry the fu- gitive was apprehended and brought back and convicted.
