THE TREATY WAS MADE
WITHOUT CONSULTATION
TESTIMONY OF OPPONENTS OF
RECIPROCITY.
Gloomy Predictions of Its Effect On
Fishing Interests.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 21-By
adroit questioning. Senator Hale of
Maine, who took a leading role to-
day in opposition to the Canadian
reciprocity agreement in the hear
ings given by the senate committee
on finance. put into the records
statements by witnesses that Presi-
dent Taft, Secretary Knox, and the
American commissioners fad failed
to consult any of the interests al
fected by the agreement negotiated.
The strongest statement in this
regard was made by Representative
Gardner of Massachusetts, who ap-
peared in the interest of the Glouces-
ter fisheries After predicting that
the effect of the Canadian agreement
would be to ruin the fishing inter
ests of this country, which are CEN
tered at Gloucester, which prediction
was based on the information Of
Canadian bounties paid to her fisher
men, and the subsidized warehouses
of Canada, Mr. Gardner was cate
chised by Senator Hale. The Maine
senator developed Mr.. Gardeners In
terest in the subject and the fact that
he had always championed the Glou-
cester industry.
Mr. Gardner said that neither he
nor any of the other representatives
from his state had been consulted re-
garding the effect of the proposed
agreement. He told of having visited
the president and of receiving the i'm
preston that Mr.. Taft considered the
question as closed.
Mr.. Gardner then proceeded to give
his view of the case. He said that
the present summer the president
faced the obligation of imposing pun
tive duty against imports from can
ada because Canada had given pre-
ferential treatment to France. IN
der the maximum and minimum pro-
vision of the tariff. said Mr.. Gardner.
the president would be compelled to
apply the maximum rates to Canada.
but he knew that the people OF this
country would not stand it.
At a result the president sent COM
missioners to Canada who demanded
a reciprocal trade agreement and the
inevitable happened. Whenever the
maximum provisions of the tariff law
cannot be enforced, ii will become
a weapon in the hands of the gov
eminent discriminating against the
United States.
Representatives of the oranges
made agreements at both sessions
against the Mccall bill.
The hearings were not concluded
today. and the paper and wood pulp
interests will be considered tomor-
row.

THE AUSTRALIAN
WAS OUTCLASSED
LANG WAS AN EASY MARK FOR
LANeFoRD.
When Almost Out He Lost On a
Foul.

London. Feb. 21.-Bill Lang. who
once held the heavyweight cham
pionship of Australia. was no match
for Sam Langford, the American ne
gro pugilist, in a scheduled twenty
The negro won in the sixth round
when Lang was disqualified. Lang
was almost out when he committed
the foul.
After six fierce rounds, when Lang
ford was down, the Australian, in a
dazed sort of way. rushed at the
American and struck him. and imme-
diately the referee proclaimed Lang
ford the winner.
The Australian, with all his natu
raj advantages, including an extra
fifty-t two pounds in weight, was hope
lessly outclassed by the negro fighter,
who walked into him and hit him
from all angles. where and when he
willed.
Lang was all nerves. He seemed
scared to death and his disqualified
ton was the best thing that could
have happened. for he was so groggy
that he was bound to have been put
out if he had not transgressed.
The only redeeming feature of
Lang's showing was his gameness in
taking punishment. AS early as the
first round LangfOrd punched him
all over the ring.
In the second the negro forced the
Australian into a neutral corner and
dropped him for count of nine. with
a terrific left and right to the jaw.
Lang went down again for nine in
the third round by right to the
point of the jaw. but came back in
the fourth and exchanged left and
rights with Langford at a terrific
rate. At that point both of Lang's
eyes were almost closed and Lang
ford was laughing.
The Australian took a long count
twice again in the fifth, but in spite
of the heavy punishment. he carried
the fight to LangfOrd the next time
up. and in a fast mitigating rally. put
the latter down. but this was done
more by accident than anything else.
Lang was greatly excited and pretty
hay by this time and he rushed at
his opponent. striking him heavily,
before Langford could regain his feet.

CAME IN LOR|MER CASE
Texas Senator Assumed an
Outburst of Applause in
the Gallery to be a Meas
ure of the Audiences
Want of Intelligence.

Washington, d. c.. Feb 21.-A long.
sibilant hiss floated over the cham
Der of the United States senate to-
day rising above the expiring ap-
plause with which the galleries had
greeted a comment rejecting upon
the intelligence of the occupants. So
far as many who have long been
connected with it could recall, never
before had hiss been heard in that
dignified body. The incident followed
remark Of Mr.. Bailey of Texas.
Senator Crawford of South Dakota
had made a, statement bearing upon
the Lorimer case that brought forth
expressions of approval from the on
looking opponents of the Illinois sena-
tor. who sat in the gallery.
No applause will be permitted
from those in the galleries said the
vice president severely.
The applause" said the Texas
senator who sat in controversy with
Mr.. Crawford. lis a fair measure of
the intelligence of the audience"
From that portion of the audience
which had not previously Joined in
the applause came a slight Outburst
despite the presiding officers eau
ton, but as it trailed out came the
hiss No motive for it was known
by the senator's or officers of that
body
The day in the senate was largely
devoted to the Lorimer case. Sena-
tor Beveridge spoke for more than
four hours. He did not conclude and
suspended with the understanding
that he would continue tomorrow af-
ter Mr.. Lorimer's speech in his own

case of China when il enacted the
Chinese exclusion laws
The presidents action in submit
ting this treaty has created great sur
prise in congress, the only persons
not taken unawares being the MEM
bers of the senate committee on for
eign relations, who at a dinner re-
Gently given to them at the White
House, were informed by President
Taft of what the administration had
in mind.
These senators consequently were
in a position to realize the full i'm
portance of the formidable looking
document which was laid before the
senate in the executive session, just
at the close of the day. There was
no opportunity to read it before il
had been referred to the foreign re-
lations committee. 1t is said that
the White House dinner developed
some views on the part of individual
senator's of great interest as bear
ing upon the probable fate of the
treaty when it comes before the SEN
ate for approval.
There was a disposition on the part
of some TO apprehend demand on
the part of China for a relaxation of
the rigid exclusion laws il this con-
cession should be made to Japan.
But it was pointed out that the gov
eminent would not surrender any
right of control of Chinese immigra-
ton even if a new treaty were ac-
corded to China.
Another argument for the treaty
Of
that last year Japan voluntarily pre-
vented the departure of coolies so
that the immigration of that class
has been practically stopped. This
was cited as demonstrating that re-
lance might be safely placel upon
the Japanese sense of honor.

Communicated.

In reading the article in your paper
last week concerning some changes needed
in the school code would make one or
two suggestions concerning our rural
schools.
Would it not be better to again change
the time of election in these districts l.?
The election in June falls right in har-
vest time, when wheat fields are claiming
all attention. The nerves and the minds
Of the farmers are taxed to the highest
pitch; for there is need of hurry, because
there is danger of damage by over-ripen-
ing, or by a heavy rain or wind storm,
which is so likely to occur at this time of
the year. The election in April would
occur while the interest of the school is
fresh in mind, when all have time to
think and act.
In many districts under the present
situation, it is almost impossible to get
quorum at a school meeting. The best
men of the district are so tagged or 60
busy that they forget the old time inter
est, and the district commissioners have
to be chosen from the few that can be
gotten together, so it frequently happens
that the: Office falls into the hands of
persons entirely untitled for the respon.
sibilities of the position; can we not have
an awakening; change in the time of
the OLD time school meetingP And
would suggest, that the election be pub
lished in the local papers at least two
weeks beforehand.
