Convention

Indianapolis, Jan. ia resolution
was presented to the United Mine
Workers convention by members of
Indiana district No. IL rejecting on
the record of James Epperson, as state
mine inspector, and expressing grave
doubt of his ability to administer the

aster at Clinton, Ind, in which eight
men lost their lives. The resolution
was referred to the committee on reso-
lutiOns.
The expected split in the convention
over the right Of certain delegates to

guarantee the unpaid dues owed by
tie locals they represent, these dues
to be paid by April l. Those refusing
will not be allowed to vote on any

Washington, Jan. IT. = Speaker
Cannon extrnded an informal recep-
ton at the Capitol to 800 delegates to
the convention for the extension of
foreign commerce Chairman William
McCarroIl, of New York city, made
brief address presenting the appeal of
commercial interests for tariff changes
and ship subsidy, and Cannon re-
sponded in a happy vein. The speaker
declared that the Republican policy is
to monopolize the home market, and
then establish a foreign market for
the surplus. Reciprocity is sweet
word" said the speaker. Its mean
ing depends upon the man or leader
who uses It," He reviewed the reel
procity labor of Blaine and showed
how the Democratic party, as he said,
undid Blaine's work.

A statement Of Cannon that maxi
mum and minimum tariff is practical
BILE was greeted with applause, and
the speaker explained how carefully
such a tariff must be drawn to afford
protection to American interests and
clothe the executive with power TO
retaliate when other nations discrim-
mate against the products of the Unit
ed States Cannon declared that the
maximum tariff would be big stick"
to be used in compelling other pow
ers to behave themselves. The speak
er reviewed the provisions Of the Lit
tauer ship subsidy bill, which is about
to be reported to the house, and said

for in the measure should not be called
a subsidy. but merely 'the spending

He Backs Up the President.
In discussing the right Of the gener-
al government to enforce treaties made
between this government and for
eign government, Representative Fos-
ter, of Vermont, took pronounced
ground in support OF the presidents
contention that the government should
see to it that the treaty between the
United States and Japan Is rigidly OBJ
served. The constitution" said Eos
ter, "confers upon the national gov
eminent the treaty making power with
out qualifying words, and provides
that all treaties made under the au-
thority Of the United States shall be
part of the supreme law Of the land
Must BE Enforced If In the Treaty.
Foster would not say whether there
was contained expressly or implicitly
in the treaty with Japan clause that
we would have to provide schools for
the Japanese in our midst. That, he
said, rested with the executive depart
ment Of the government to determine
but 'if it is contained in the treaty
1t Is binding upon the con
science of the people of the state and
it Is the sworn duty of the president
to enforce its provisions as part OF
the supreme law Of the land. In do
ing this he shall not be charged with
attempting tocoerce a sovereign state. >

He then turned his attention to
Foraker's criticism of Major Block
som, which he said was due to the fact
that Ibis fatherwas a Democrat" Con-
tinuing he said: II can remember with
wnat frantic energy he used to wave
the bloody shirt-a shirt dyed with
the crimson of his own rhetoric; / re-
member how he used to go raging
over the land, a gifurcated. peripatetic
volcano in perennial eruption, belching
fire and smoke and melted lava from
his agonized and tu4nultuous bowels.
Il would not have to go back forty
years, or make any inquiry into the SEN
ator's pedigree. to prove by such evil
dence that the senator from Ohio Is the
last man to sit in judgment in case OF
murder where negro was the muir
derer and a southern white man was
his victim" But he declared the Ohio
man was not half as bad as he looked.

Patrons of the Orpheum have been
given a treat this week in the produc-
tom of Bronson HIoward's The Hen

pany-the play made famous by Rob-

which his brother, supposedly upright

by Mr.. Phillips, who has a good con-
ception of the part and gets as much
out of it as could be expected after
study of months-instead of the

cherous son and Wall Street punger
is all to the good and has made a
distinct hit. Joseph Greene's work
is especially worth mentioning. Each
week in widely different character,
Mr.. Greene has won many admirers
for his consistent portrayal of the
characters entrusted to him and is
one of the strong men of the COM
