DECISION AGAINST GERMANY.
Hague Court Recognizes Position Of
France as Just.

PARIS, May 22.-The judgment Of The
Hague court Of arbitration regarding the
arrest by the French authorities at Casa
blanca last September Of German and
other deserters from the Foreign Legion
has been rendered.
The court recognizes the position taken
by France as just in law and declares
that no precedent can be quoted for the
German argument. The fact that the
German consul at Casablanca attempted
to assist the flight and the embarkation
aboard a German ship of deserters from
the French Foreign Legion who were not
OF German nationality constituted. the
court holds manifest abuse.
The three Germans who deserted will
not be returned to Germany, but will be
tried by q competent court-martiai. The
court Of arbitration censures the cham
cellor OF the German consulate at Casa
blanca and a soldier who was employed
by the consulate. for having provoked
BY their violence reprisals on the part Of
the French sailors and soldiers who ar
rested the deserters The court says the
latter employed only legitimate means OF
self defense.

DURToN'S REQUEST REFUSED.
Senate Will Not Consider Legislation
While Tariff 1s Pending.

Again today the Senate demonstrated
it's ability to say mo- and stand by
it. by reiterating its determination to do
no business, in the way Of legislation
while the tariff bill is pending.
The refusal came In response to a re-
quest from Senator Burton to adopt
resolution authorizing the expenditure OF
unexpended balances of appropriations
for river and harbor work. He brought IN
a report of the committee on commerce
in support Of his resolution. ana made an
earnest plea for action at this time, say
Ing that II there was greater postpone
ment important public works would suf-
fer, as contracts must necessarily be
made at this season of the year. The
last river and harbor bill, he said, had
been passed in reliance upon the avail
ability Of these balances, and he pleaded
that the good faith Of the government
was involved in the matter.
He. however, met stern objection from
Senator Hale of the committee on finance,
and when, after a time. there seemed a
possibility Of Mr.. Hale's yielding. SEN
ator Ciapp came to the front and said
that il Mr.. Hale did not stand by his OBJ
making one of his own. Even in the
face Of the opposition of these two stall
warts Mr.. Burton still pleaded, although
without avail,
Messrs. Hale and Clapp took the posi-
tion that II the bars were once let down
there would be no end Of these requests
for special action. with the result that the
Senate would be either flooded with legis-
lation or there would be special excep-
tions which would render it impossible
for those who did not get in to make
adequate explanations to their constit-
uents. Mr.. Burton was told that there
would be plenty of time for the Senate to
act upon his resolution after the passage
Of the tarin bill.

plated increase in the Cuban budget Of
100000, with total expenditure OF
$S3 800. 0Oo, create an unfavorable impress
sion in Washington, where the view in
official circles has been that there has
been too decided tendency toward ex-
travagance in the authorization Of ex.
penditures OF public money.
Because of it's heretofore closely exist
Ing relations with the Cuban government
and the right inherent in the treaty be-
tween the two countries. the Washington
administration is watching the develop:
ments in the island with much concern. 4
President Taft's attitude toward incur
ring financial obligations by the Cubans
was made clear Id January last, when
Gov. Magoon In turning over sthe admin
istration Of affairs to the new regime said
the Uniteed States considered that the
second article of the appendix to the
constitution of Cuba forbade that govern
ment to assume or contract any public
debt in excess Of or in addition to the
debt already contracted or authorized by
existing laws and DEGREES of the pro-
visional government. This then amounted
to sic. 10000 and was for sanitation and

It would increase the revenue. Mr. Hale.

Hale Rebukes Beveridge.
At the conclusion OF this running dis
oussion upon automobiles. Mr.. Beveridge.
in humorous vein, suggested that the sug-
gsstion OF the senator from Maine had by
that subject consumed half an
hour Of the time of the Senate.
Mr.. Hale. taking this remark with seri-
ousness, paid his respects to the senator
from Indiana. saying he had never waited

Mr. Bailey again.

being pauperized.

state would trade half OF all OF tneir

Virginia owns personally"
"I want to say" declared Mr.. ElKins,
'that my state produces lumber. oil, iron
and coal. but It does not produce MIL

Senator Scott of West Virginia asked
his colleague whether he had not voted

Cumber's state.

Scott and Hepburn Speak.
When Mr. Elklns had finished Mr. Scott
spoke briefly ON thee same lines. He ex-

wood, grown In West Virginia. which, he
said, was just as good as the imported
brier wood. He. held that II the Dingley
rate were kept on lumber the manufac-
turers OF these pipes In the United States
would be encouraged.
After Senator Clapp of Minnesota had
required another roll call to get a quo
rum Senator Hepburn Of Idaho spoke
for about an hour in favor Of the Dingley-
