President Roosevelt urges Senators 70

TREATY HAS A JOKER.
Makes $7,OOO,OOO Worthless Do
mingO Scrip Good.

mfngO Scrip Good.
The attention of Secretary Root and
of members of the Senate committee on
foreign relations has been called to
Joker" in the Santo Domingo treaty and,
according to a Washington correspond
ent, it is causing them worry.
The Joker" is in article i, which
reads: ''The United States undertakes to
secure an arrangement of all obligations
of the Dominican government, foreign as
we'll as domestic; the arrangement for
payment and the conditions of amortiza-
ton; the consideration of conflicting
and unreasonable claims and the decis-
ion as to the validity and amount OF all
pending claims already liquidated and
accepted or which may be established"
1t was the original intention of the
President that the money collected from
the Dominican customs should be used in
settlement of the foreign claims only.
Under the heading of domestic claims
will come between $S,OOO,OOO and 3d.
100000 of scrip of la Dauda Deforida,"
the deferred debt. This scrip for forty
years has been of practically no value
not worth five cents on the dollar be-
cause of the doubt whether it ever would
be redeemed
Now, the officials of the Dominican
government have bought all this scrip
they could reach, paying all the way
from 2 to 30 cents on the dollar. Emilio
Joubert, the minister from Santo Do
mingo, himself has admitted that he
would not now sell the scrip he holds for
Is cents on the dollar, as he believes it
will be paid in full. He says it will be
worth par the minute the treaty is rati-
fed by the Senate of the United States.
This deferred debt" is the outgrowth
of the Dominican revolutions of the last
forty years, which, except the last one
headed by Morales. all have been success
full. Whenever revolutionary chief
while operating in the field requisitioned
cattle or services voucher was given.
After the revolution was won this vouch-
er would be exchanged at the capital for
scrip of La Deuda Deferida," duly regis
tered in the treasury books. The obliga-
tons of both sides always we're recog-
nized because no successful faction was
ever sure it would not be among the
''outs' the next day.
Scrip also has been used by the govern
ment in the payment of the salaries of
officials and many influential men of the
republic now have considerable sums of
this paper. Revolutionary chiefs have
used it literally to reward friends for
services"

ARMY SNOB SCORED.
President Says that Special COnsid-
Grafton Is Due Enlisted Men.

President Says that Special COnsid-
Grafton Is Due Enlisted Men.
That the uniform of an enlisted man
in the army or navy is badge of honor
which entities its wearer to peculiar con-
sideration is the position taken by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The President himself
made it known in a letter to Secretary
Taft commenting on the court martial
of Lieut.. Roy 1. Taylor, who was reduc-
ell twelve files recently for ordering an
enlisted man in his command to change
his seat in a theater because he was seat
ed in front of the lieutenant's party.
The President in his letter said in
part:
"In my judgment Lieut.. Taylor COM
mitted one of the most serious faults
which any officer can commit. I am glad
that he was reduced twelve files. 1t is
a pleasure to record the fact that his
offense was altogether exceptional in the
body to which he belongs.
There is no body of men in this coun-
try of similar size which merits SO we'll
of the country as the body of officers and
enlisted men in the army and navy Of
the United States. Not only should the
interests of these men and regard their
honor as being identified to peculiar de-
gree and in a peculiar sense with his
own, but the members of the body should
themselves feel the same jealous eager
ness to uphold the honor and standing
of all connected with it. Above all this
should be the object of the officers as re-
CARDS the enlisted man.
ITO strive to discriminate against him
in any way is literally an infamy for it
is in reality one of the most serious Of
lenses which can be committed against
the stability and greatness of our nation.
If hotel keeper or the owner of a the
alter or any other public resort attempts
such discrimination, everything possible
should be done by all good citizens to
make the man attempting it feel the full
weight of just popular resentment, and
if possible legal proceedings should be
taken against him."

She laughed confusedly and led the way
to Serena's pretty sitting room. "Se
rena's gone over to Sugar Bottom school,
house. There's Valentine Festival there
tonight; she's helping to decorate, and al
that. It's for the church, and she won't
be home till late bedtime" Mrs. Bently
explained as the tall old man slipped out
of his cap and coat and sat down before
her fire.
"And are you going?" Mr. Harrison
looked at her with his smiling eyes. Some
how the twinkle in Billy's eyes had al
ways brought an odd little CULVER to her
heart.
NO." she answered; Serena wouldn't
let me go out in the SNOW"
''Such little bit of a snow, too, You
want to go, don't your" he asked.
Il should have liked it, but I'm toe
old now to feel disappointment Perhaps
you will leave a message for Serena, un-
less you expect to go to the festival she
said.
MAYBE I may go. You see, I drove
over to Mrs. Burton's to see if 1 could
get picture that my son John wants
Johns an artist, and he has a fancy fol-
family portraits. He wants one of my
mother. l thought Annie might have an
old picture, but she hasn't. She thought
she'd seen one here, and 1 stopped to ask
Serena"
I'm glad you did. I have a picture
of your mother, and 1 reckon Annie saw
it when l lived here with Uncle Hiram
You know he willed the place to Serena
It's a picture of your mother and your.
self. You were little boy, and she had
you standing by her. I'll bring it right
now" She hurried out of the room and
returned with little box in her hands
Il can't turn the key; the lock is rusty
l thought you might unlock it. 1t hasn't
been opened-since before Jasper and !

Mr.. Harrison took the box. She brought
a bottle of oil and feather, and the two
gray heads were bowed together over the
little black box. He worked patiently
turning the box this way and that and
shaking the little key in the rusty lock
Suddenly the lid fell back while the box
was upside down and the contents were
scattered over the carpet
That's too bad," he laughed "I've

AWFUL MURDER RECORD.
With Exception of Italians, Amerf.
cans Are Most HOmicidal Nation.

With Exception of Italians, Ameri-
cans Are Most HOmicida1 Nation.
According to the unofficial statistics
gathered in 1905, as in previous years,
by the Chicago Tribune, there were 9,212
homicides committed in the United States
during the twelvemonth just ended. This
country remains on the bad eminence
it has long occupied in the history of
crime; indeed, we have increased our
lead, for the number of homicides was
greater by $40 in 1905 than it was in
the previous year. The record consti-
tutes a shocking indictment.
With the single exception of the Ital-
ians, the American people are the most
homicidal nation in the civilized world.
In fact, we are running neck and neck
with Italy with respect to the ratio of
violent crimes resulting in death. In the
latter country the homicdes number 1O5
per million of inhabitants per year; in
this country last year the ratio was 115
per million.
A comparison with the criminal statis-
tics of other leading nations will serve
to emphasize the indictment and make it
positively terrifying. Thus the annual
average ratio of homicides to population
is Is per million to German, 10 per mill
ion in France and 81 per million in the
United Kingdom.

W. p. HEPBURN. day evening trying
to amend the measure. But after an
exciting session it was left intact de-
spite a flood Of amendments launched
against it.
For three hours amendment after
amendment was offered but all went
down in defeat. These contained all
manner Of propositions, such as regu-
lating preferentials, the long and short
haul, passes, court procedure, whole
rate bills and parts of bills.
The minority leader, Mr.. Williams,
summarized the bill and all that had
been done by Congress, and went over
length during the last ten days. He
concluded with an expression Of the
hope that the House would stay in SEES
sion until the beginning of the next
session before it would yield to an
amendment which might be put on in
the Senate the effect Of which might
be to weaken the bill.
Mr.. Hepburn, in his concluding
speech, took up in turn the points
made in opposition to the bill. First
he deprecated the effort to claim po-
liticai credit. He reviewed the prog
ress and development of railroads dur
ing the last twenty years to show that
the interstate commerce act of that
time had not impeded railroad prog
ress. Touching the construction of
words which had been made a point
of opposition, Mr.. Hepburn showed the
utter futility of getting unanimity on
that point. He asserted not a member
of the House could write a twenty
word sentence that would not be capa-
BILE of two constructions.
Provisions of the Bill.
Congressman Hepburn explained that
his bill was intended and did, so far as
it could be made to, comply specifically
with the recommendations of President
Roosevelt on the rate question. 1t gives
the Interstate Commerce Commission au-
thority, when a rate has been complained
OF as unreasonable" by a shipper, to in
vestigate that rate, state whether or not
i; is unreasonable, and if found to be I'M
reasonable, to name a rate which is to be
just and reasonable mad fairly remunera-
tive, which is to be the maximum rate to
be charged.
This rate so fixed is to go into effect
thirty days after it is announced by the
commission, subject during that time to
be set aside or suspended by the COM
mission or by the courts. After it has
gone into effect it is to remain the rate
for three years. During this time the
opinion has been expressed by those who
have participated in the debate that the
rate may also be reviewed by the courts
and if found to be in conflict with the
terms of the act or with the Constitution,
by being confscatory, can be set aside
by the courts.
Another important feature is the defni-
ton of the words railroad and trans
portation" in manner to exclude all
auxiliary instrumentalities of the common
carrier and to bring them within the con-
troll of the commission. This power to
name a reasonable rate and the inclusion
of the auxiliaries within the jurisdiction
of the commission are said to be the new
features. All other provisions are modi-
fications of existing law. They include
publicity of railroad methods, which is to
be aided by prescribing a system Of book
keeping and charging the commission to
seven members and increasing their sal.
aries to $4,000 a year.
