PASSES JAP TREATY.
Senate In Executive Session Adopts
New Document.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The new
Japanese treaty of trade and naviga-
ton was ratified last night after q
two-hour executive session OF the SEN
ate. While the apprehension OF west
ern senators that the treaty might let
down the bars to coolie labor was not
entirely removed, these senator's con
tented themselves with expressing
their solicitude. They interposed no
objection to ratification.
The action of this government In
promptly confirming the new agree
ment Is expected to do more to prove
the feeling of cordially that this
country has for japan than anything
that has been done for many years. 1t
Is regarded as a manifestation Of
highest confidence in the advanced
civilization of that nation. The effect
will be to permit japan to enter at
once on a reorganization of its fiscal
system and the making of new tariff
with all nations.
Japan's treaties with other powers
are to expire July II. That with the
United States, by reason of its later
ratification, would have continued un-

TRADE BILL is ON
SENATE CALENDAR
Senators Hale and Bailey Speak
Against It and Extra Session
Seems Assured.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Oppon-
ents OF tie Canadian reciprocity
agreement attempted to put a quietus
on legislation on the subject when the
Mccall bill to carry out the provisions
OF tho agreement late yesterday was
reported without recommendation"
from the senate committee on finance.
SO far as the present session OF con-
gress is concerned they took q long
step toward accomplishing their pur-
pose.
The return OF the bill to the senate
by Acting Chairman Burrows, OF the
finance committee, was made the oc-
position and In favor OF early action.
As only few days remain to put the
bill through hostile body, the
speeches against II were accepted
generally as its death knell, until a
resurrection should come In an extra
session.
Senator Hale, the veteran Republi-
can leader who will reture March 4,
declared the committee had yielded
to public clamor and the charge that
the bill was TO be suppressed and
had reported II against the real senti-
ment OF a large majority Of the COM
mittee. He served notice, however,
that the bill would have to 60 to the
calendar to take its course and any
effort on the part OF any one of what
ever authority TO drive" the senate
would be an unwarranted assumption
Of power.
Senator Bailey Of Texas, q Demo
cratic member OF the committee, was
recognized az soon as the REPORT was
presented by Mr.. Burrows.
Declaring his opposition to II, he
expressed the opinion that the best
interests Of the agriculturists would
be served by the defeat Of the bill.
In pointing out some Of the discrimi-
nations In the bill. from his point Of
view, the Texas senator, said that
while the agreement admitted wheat
and cattle free, II retained the duty
on flour and beef meat.
Civilized people eat -four and not
wheat, beef and not CATTLE" he said.
True, It was, he continued, that the
agreement provided for q froe wood
pulp, but this change In the tariff
laws would mean the loss OF almost
100000 Of revenue to the treasury an
nually. He had been informed. he
said, that this change would DO worth
$5,000.00 to the newspaper and maya
zine publishers, but for himself. he
would not consent to a measure which
gave such preference to the rich az
against the poor and needy.
Senator Stone. Of Missouri, and mi.
nority members Of the committee, an
nounced his intention of supporting
the measure on the ground that II was
In the line of wise and progressive
statesmanship.
Tie bill went on the calendar where
1t Is subject to consideration when
ever the senate may decide to take II
up.

D. j. R. MAY ISSUE
100000 BONDS
Big Loan Authorized by Railway
Commission -Hutchins Explains
Roads finances.

The Michigan railway commission,
meeting In Lansing. authorized the Is
sue OF sl.07s.000 bonds by the De-
troit United railway. to be used for
the purchase OF new equipment and
property and In expenditures for bet
terments.
When the present company was or
ganized q mortgage OF $25, 100000 was
placed upon IT, TO secure subsequent
bond issues for new equipment and
betterments, and provide for the re-
tirement of underlying bonds, which
amounted at that time to $l5,SSO.0O0.
With the issue of the bonds just au-
thorized there remains only $5Ss,O0O
OF the balance In the hands OF the
trustee.
President Hutchihs appeared before
the commission with detailed state
ment OF the company's financial situa-
ton, and answered the protest MADE
by a firm Of New York lawyers rep
resenting the holders OF about $l2o,-
600 worth of bonds. II was claimed
that the purpose OF the present issue
was to enable the company to pay
dividends and allay the clamor OF dis
satisfied Montreal stockholders In
spite of the fact that the company
still had $500. 900 in notes outstand-
ing.
president Hutchins explained that
the New York bondholders were fully
protected and that the present issue
of bonds had nothing to do with the
dividend recently declared.
"It has been the policy OF the COM
pany." said Mr.. Hutchins, to put
large portion of the earnings into pet
terments ever since dividend pay
ments were stopped In 1907. In 1910
we spent $1,65S.000 for betterments
which was reduced to $1,440,O00 by
the sale OF the old Woodward-ave.
barns"
Under the terms of the mortgage
the company is allowed to issue ponds
only to rs per cent OF the amount act
ually put into betterments ana conse-
quently the amount OF the issue was
fixed at S1.078.000.
with regard to the dividend policy,
Mr.. Hutchins stated that the stock
holders felt entitled to some return
on their stock inasmuch as the road
showed net earnings Of over $1,OOO,O0O
last year. The proposition was made
to them that II they would underwrite
81, 8S0, 900 In bonds held in the treas
ury at SO IL that dividend would
be paid this year. This was to be
applied to retire the $1,500,000 In gold
notes outstanding. II the bonds are
not marketed before Jan. /, 1912, the
stock holders will have to take them
at the price stated. In accordance
with this agreement the dividend
was declared last month.
Mr.. Hutchins was asked to explain
why the bonds of the ID. u. r. did not
command higher price in the market
and said that the failure OF the COM
pany to pay dividends probably has a
good deal to do with 1t and In addition
the general attitude toward public
utilities securities.
