The moral in Paulis spring-like ap-
pearance is not to carry matches in
your overcoat pockets; and further,
that if you insist on carrying matches
in the overcoat, don't place the said
coat near a red hot stove. Matches
are ignitable and given to spontaneous
combustion.

I SENATE HITS AT PRESIDENT
constitutiensIlty Of Trade Pact Win
Germany 10 Attacked.

Washington, Jan. 23.-President
Roosevelt transmitted to the senate
and the house copies OF the tarin reg
ulations negotiated some time ago be-
tween the United states and Germany
together with proposed amendment
to the customs administrative act put
ting the same In force as statute.
In the senate the message aroused
lively discussion in executive session
when 1t was taken up. The remarks
were not addressed to the message SO
1t in executive session as well as the
policy of the president in connection
with the agreement.
His course. not only In negotiating
that instrument, but in proclaimins
II to the world, as he did last July,
was sharply criticised. II was declared
that the agreement makes change
which are equivalent to legislation,
and 1t was pointed out that all legis
latlon affecting the tariff must, under
the constitution, originate In the
house Of representatives. Stress was
laid on the fact that the president
had not only negotiated the treaty.
but that he had given II out as com.
plete performance without referring II
to the senate for action. This the
senators seemed to consider as esps.
cially reprehensible and far beyond
the authority of the chief executive.
1t was pointed out that the German
kaiser had not only referred the agree
ment to the reichstag for its action.
but that he had even consulted both
the local and national boards of trade.
Hence, the president was charged
with being even more autocratic than
the head of the German empire.
1t was also declared that under tho
system of valuations provided for by
the. treaty ,aTo?t Injustice w9eid be
done to the United States.
Senator Hepburn made strenuous
| objection when the question was
| raised that the message was a subject
| for consideration in the open senate.
instead of behind closed doors. The
! Idaho senator maintained that an open
senate debate would only plunge the
| senate into an almost endless tariff
discussion. Senators McLauren, Tell
er and others called for open session
and their plea finally won, but not be-
fore Senator Gallinger and one or two
| others had delivered their sentiments
| concerning the action of an executive
in calling for legislation whenever
the spirit moved him.
1t was finally decided to refer the
message TO the committee on finance.

these amendments provide maximum
