LEWIS SAYS POST OFFICE
LAID A TRAP FOR HIM
Required Seven Weeks to Prepare
Data Demanded Within
Twenty-Four Hours.

Postmaster General Hitchcock was
called upon today by the House commit
tee on postal expenditures to submit
original copies OF all records and stem
ographic notes bearing on the contro-
versy between the department and the
Lewis Publishing Company of University
City, Mo.
E. G. Lewis. president OF the company,
whose charges OF persecution by the de-
partment are being heard by the COM
mittee. charged today that post Office
officials had plotted to injure his business.
His counsel, Edwin c. Madden, former
third assistant postmaster general, de-
clared that the department submitted to
the Lewis Company a blank form con-
tanning long list of questions, requiriuA
that they be answered and the form
sworn to and returned within twenty
four hours. Lewis said IL took him, with
forty assistants. and at an expense of
$4,000. seven weeks to prepare answers
accurate enough to be sworn to. He
said the department was thus trying to
entrap him by forcing him to give in
accurate answers in the sworn statement
The committee decided today to sub
poena Frank Wyman, former postmaster
at st. Louis, as Il witness.

READY TO SIGN TREATY,
Likely to Be Delayed, However, I'm.
til Jusserand Returns.

State Department officials do not care
to add any details to the statement
made by President Taft yesterday at
Manassas regarding the general arbitra-
ton treaty, either as to the status of
the negotiations or the identity of the
three powers other than Great Britain
and France which are nearly ready to
adhere to the convention. 1t is the un-
derstanding, however, that these nego-
tiations are practically completed, so
far as Great Britain is concerned, and
the treaty might be signed any day
were it not for the desire OF the Presi-
dent and Secretary Knox to give 1t a
truly international character by having
1t. signed simultaneously with the
French convention.
While this might be accomplished in
short order by the French foreign office

pose upon Mr.. PontaHs. who is acting

his despatched dress and said:
1T is a great pleasure for me to be
here today. We ordinarily do not enjoy
those things we get without effort-and it
has been some effort for me to get here
today. We came down very slowly
bringing senators and representatives.
We came down much more slowly than
some Of the senators and representatives
who came down here fifty years ago, and
then went back to Washington
The President referred with feeling to
the loss Of life and suffering during the
civil war, and declared he deplored armed
strife and wished 1t could be abolished.

the President added:
Therefore look to you veterans Of the
civil war to aid in the movement for
peace. / am glad to announce here to-
day that as England has agreed to enter
Into an arbitration treaty with the United
States, France has signifed her willing
ness to enter into the same treaty. Both
