PELAGIC SEALING
PACT Is SIGNED
Agreement of Powers Made
to Save Fur Bearers.

Pelagic sealing will be prohibited in the
North Pacific Ocean under an agreement
signed yesterday at the State Department
by representatives of the United States,
Great Britain, Japan, and Russia This
agreement is the outcome of the Interna-
tional Fur Seal Conference, which has
been in session here for about three
months. A patrol will be established to
prevent Illegal sealing in violation OF the
agreement.
The convention will be operative for a
period of fifteen years, but any of the
contracting governments will have the
right to denounce 1t upon one years no.
tice. The recommendations will not go
into effect until ratified by all four
powers. The treaty will be sent to the
Senate shortly, accompanied by a special
message from President Taft.
To compensate Japan and Great Britain
for relinquishing their right of pelagic
sealing an arrangement has been made
by which these two governments will re-
ceive a third share of the skins of the
seals killed on the Russian and American
rookeries. One-third of the skins from
the japanese rookeries will be distributed
between the United States, Great Britain,
and Russia. One-third of the skins from
any herd which may resort to British
breeding grounds will be divided equally
among the United States, Japan, and
Russia. The hunting of sea otters on
the high seas is also prohibited.

Special TO The Washington Herald.
Pittsburg, Pa, July T. Charles A.
o'Brien, city solicitor and attorney for
the G. B. Perkins Detective Agency, is
leaving this city tonight for Washington
to present charges before the United
States Senate committee on the investi-
cation Of the administration of criminal
law by Federal officials against num-
Der Of members OF the inspection division

In the petition that Mr.. O'Brien is to

made are pecuniarily interested in the

warranted powers Hereunder for the pur-
pose of furthering the interests of Burns.

TAFT CRUISE MAY
END SENATE WAR
Will Urge that Reciprocity
Bill Be Passed.
pec:al to The Washington Herald.

Special TO The Washington Herald.
New York, July 1.-The New York
Globe to-day prints the following from its
special correspondent:
Washington, July THE personnel of
the party Of Senators who are to accom-
pany President Taft on the yacht May
flower on the weekend trip from Phila-
delphia back to Washington, on Saturday
and Sunday, was given out to-day. Back
Of this trip there is an interesting and
important story.
The President proposes to discuss with
the Senators-who include four Demo-
Gratis and four Republicans-the question
Of putting the Canadian agreement
through the Senate. More than this,
there will be discussed the question OF
what the administration ought to do
about the special tariff bills which, 1t is
now threatened, will be put through Con-
gress after reciprocity is passed. 1t is
not improbable that a decision as to
whether the President should veto or sign
these bills will be reached on this trip
or as a result of what then passes.
The party will include Senators Pen
rose, Briggs, Brown, and Root, Repub-
Iicans, and Bacon, Taylor, Foster, and
Overman, Democrats. The nominal pur-
pose Of the cruise is to discuss reel
procity. The President is said to be much
concerned over the delay and uncertain
ty about getting vote on this measure.
But about the Senate to-day It was said
the discussion would undoubtedly take a
wider range and involve the whole tarin
situation
"The Importance OF this need not be
dweIt on, in view OF the strong and
growing feeling In many quarters that
the Senate is not going to leave Wash
ington until it has agreed to pass wool
bill-and perhaps a free list bill. 1t Is
true that much skepucism is expressed
by some concerning the ability of the in
surgents and Democrats to agree on a
wool bill; but some Of the insurgent lead
ers insist that there will be an agreement
and that it is going to be up to the Pres
ident to sign or veto q wool bill, and pos
sibIy other bills for revision Of separate
schedules

JONES DENOUNCES
SENATOR MARTIN
Challenge to Joint Debate
On Several Charges.
sp.ci.l to rbs washington Hsnld.

Special 70 The washington Herald.
Lynchburg, Va, July 7.-Defying Senator
Martin to meet him upon the stump and
deny the charges, Representative Jones,
candidate for the Senate from Virginia.
made a speech here tonight in which he
alleged that Senator Martin was unfit
for a seat in the Senate because Of his
prior railroad affiliations.
Mr.. Jones' speech was entitled, 'Ium-
Der. Lorimer. and Martin" and was de-
voted mainly to Senator Martins tariff
record on lumber. The adoption OF the
substitute Martin resolution as to the
manner OF conducting the second Lori
mer investigation, charged Representa-
tive Jones, had been especially pleasing
TO the lumber trust
Representative Jones made the further
charge that Senator Martin, when elected
to the Senate. was not only a railroad
lobbyist, but that he was "one Of the
dlsbursing agents of the yellow dog
fund Of the railroads. He challenged
the Senator to meet him IN joint debate
and deny the statements.

PATRONAGE ROW
In ALABAMA ENDS
Taft Finds Solution to EN-
barrassing Situation.

The Alabama political row as to who
shall be recognized by the administra-
ton as the official referee of Federal
patronage in Alabama has been settled
by an agreement between the contending
factions.
Under an agreement reached at the
White House yesterday, ]. o. Thompson,
chairman Of the Republican State COM
nittee, and Maj. p. D. Barker, Republi-
can national committeeman from Ala
bagna, viii resign their respective Offices
and conventiin will be held in Alsbama
on August 3 next to elect their sue
cessors. This agreement will clean the
political slate in that State, and Presi-
dent Taft, to whom the row was referred,
Will not be called upon to decide the
question. In his conference Thursday
with the Alabama politicians, Mr.. Taft
made 1t plain that their political qusrrels
should be settled among themselves.

SWANSON URGES
ROADIMPROYEMENT
Senator Supports Bill for
S2O,OOO.OOO Appropriation.

plea from the State Of Virginia was
made yesterday in the Senate for Fed
eral aid in placing the inland commerce
OF ths country on an economical and
proper basis through the Improvement of
highways. Senator Claude A Swanson.
OF the Old Dominion, urged an ap-
preparation whereby communities which
are now struggling with the problem Of
bettering the veins Of trafic. on which
the progress and prosperity OF the coun-
try depends, viii be assisted in their
undertaking
The Senator asserted that the annual
mud tax" paid each year by the peo-
pie OF the United States amounted to
S250oOo, 900, this amount being his estimate
of the annual saving in hauling that
could be effected if the American high
ways were improved in proportion to the
roads Of England, France, and Germany.
Senator Swanson detailed at length the
experiences of Virginia in road improve
ment. AS governor Of that State, he
recommended the cres ton Of a highway
commission and the supply to local
authorities Of experts to aid them in the
proper building of roads. He also
recommended that the convicts in jails
and those in the penitentiary with short
terms be furnished free to the local
authorities to work upon the public
roads.
The general assembly enacted these
recommendations into law, through the
operation of which, and by the aid Of a
liberal State appropriation, more than
500 miles of good, hard-surfaced roads
have been constructed. Senator Swan
son stated that the interest in road build
ing has been so stimulated in Virginia
that sixteen counties have voted bond
issues, aggregating $2S3.OO0. He pro-
duced figures to show that the revenues
of Virginia have been greatly increased
through this comparatively small
amount Of road construction.
Senator Swanson explained at length
the terms of his bill, which provides
that the government shall appropriate
$2co0o,OOO annually for the next five years
fer the improvement of post roads and
rur, l delivery routes. He cited pro-
visions in the platforms of both political
parties upholding projects of that nature

INSURGENTS LOSE
MITCHELL BY DEATH
Representative Expires at
His Home in Kansas.

An energetic worker was lost by the
Republican insurgent party in the House
yesterday in the person of Alexander C.
Mitchell who died at his home, Law
renee, Kans., from cancer of the stomach.
Mr.. Mitchell was new member, hav-
ing entered the House last April. He
defeated Charles F. Scott at the last
election on an insurgent platform, and
was a conspicuous example Of the new
school of legislators in the House. With
in two weeks after entering Congress
Mr.. Mitchell was obliged to return home
for an operation, which was performed,
but proved futile.
Speaker Clark telegraphed condolences
to the family yesterday and asked II an
official funeral were desired. The answer
will be read to the House to-day.
Mr.. Mitchell was born in Cincinnati
October II, 1850. He removed at an early
age to Kansas, and was graduated from
the university of that State.

CUBAN SECRETARY
PREPARES FOR WAR
Government Forces Armed
to Down Revolution.

Havana, July THE secretary OF the
government, who commands the armed
forces like the United States Secretary
Of War, said to-day that the govern
ment was prepared to crush with strong
hand any attempt at a revolution, even
though 80 per cent Of Cubans should
arise.
The newspaper El Dia, started by Rep
resentative Andre, who seeks to impeach
President Gomez, although only a week
old, already has the biggest circulation
in Cuba. Tonight all Of the copies
printed were sold out
The rural guard is quartered in Fuerza,
the ancient fortress built in 1855 by De
Soto. 1t was called out tonight to sur
round the palace against a possible at
tack. The government made the DEM
onstration, 1t was said, merely to show
how promptly the soldiers could respond,
but the general belief is that the ma
neuver was performed to intimidate any
one contemplating an attack upon the
palace. "
La Lucha this afternoon published a
cartoon representing the personifcation
OF the Cuban people sinking beneath an
overtowering wave of mud, upholding
the Cuban flag and crying: Let all be
for Cuba
No definite news has been received from
the outlying districts, but there are ru-
mors from everywhere saying that
trouble is brewing. One paper goes SO
far as to announce the early resignation
of the President.
Congress having set to-day for adjourn
ment, there was no quorum in either
house, thus ending the possibility of pass
ing a new budget as a substitute for the
OLD one. continued by presidential de-
cree. The reason for the lack Of a quo
rum was the desire Of the legislators not
to approve the MISUNDERSTANDING the road
to be built from the sugar estate recent
ly acquired by Gomez to Port Nuevftas.

MRS. SILSBY DISCHARGED.
Woman Declared to BE of Scum,
Mind by Jury.

Woman Declared to BE of Sound
Mind by Jury.
Mrs. Annie E. Silsby was yesterday de-
clared to be of sound mind by a jury
in Justice Anderson's court, the case
having occupied the attention Of the
court for two days. Attorney Robert T.
Plumley represented Mrs. Silsby. Ex-
perts had diagnosed her case to be the
result of alcoholism.
Mrs. silsby contended that a person
should not be adjudged insane because
of their taking a drink.
"If every man who takes a Scotch
highball Is to be incarcerated in st.
Elizabeth's," said Mrs. Silsby. Congress
would not have a quorum to do busi-
ness"
Mrs. silsby promised she would keep
away from intoxicating liquors in the
future.
Considerable excitement was created at
the afternoon session when a man in
the audience was overcome by the heat
and had to be carried out OF the court
room. He recovered shortly afterward.

CUMMINS HAL rs PROGRESS
ONCANADIAN RECIPROCITY
La Toilette May Take Week to Express His Views
on the Bil-Senate Will Meet To-day.

It looks now as IL no further effort
would be made in the Senate to fix a
date for vote on the CaHadian reci-
procity bill and amendments until after
Senator La Toilette has delivered him
self of his speech on the tariff, which
may occupy a week. Friends of the
reciprocity bill now predict that the ses-
sion probably will be prolonged until
August Is.
Senator stone asked Senator Cummtns
late yesterday afternoon to agree 20 a
definite date late In July for a vote on
the Canadian bill and amendments, but
Mr.. Cummins replied that he would not
consent to fix time for a vote until
after there had been full and free dis
cussion of all the pending amendments.
The debate yesterday progressed under
the most uncomfortable conditions. Palm
leaf fans were everywhere in evidence.
For the greater part of the time ths
Senate chamber practically was deserted.
There were two speeches on reciprocity,
both attacking It. One was the continu-
aticn of the speech started Thursday by
Mr.. Gronna, OF North Dakota, who de-
clared repeatedly that he stood ready to
vote with the Democrats to amend the
Canadian reciprocity bill with provisions
for liberal reduction Of duties on the nee
essaries Of life.
Senator Thornton, of Louisiana, Demo
crat, was the other speaker. He is one
OF the few Democrats who, II is under
stood, Is ready to vote with the in
surgent Republicans to amend or kill the
bill. -.f
The insurgents sought to bring about
an adjournment of the Senate over until
Monday, but Senator Smoot rebelled
against this plan. Senator Cummis pre-
sented the insurgent side of the contro-
versy. He declared that no progress
would be made to-day, even II the Senate
insisted on meeting. He pointed out that
The Washington herald., 1911-07-08

no Senator was ready to proceed with a
speech.
What does the Senator from Utah
hope to accomplish by meeting Of the
Senate Tomorrow inquired Mr.. Cum
minis.
III no Senator is ready to speak,
would propose that we have a vote on
the pending amendments to the BILL" re-
piled Mr.. Smoot.
''well, will say in reply to that sug-
gestion that I will not give my consent
to a vote on these amendments until the
chairman OF the Finance Committee is
present in this chamber The Iowa
Senator was referring to the cruise OF the
Mayfiower to-day with the President and
Senator Penrose, chairman OF the Finance
Committee, and other Senators aboard.
why does the Senator from Iowa in
sist on having the chairman OF the FL
nance Committee present when the vote
Is taken on his amendment" asked SEN
ator Stone.
'Ol, simply want him here" replied
Mr.. Cummins. with smile. IT think
am entitled to have my leader present un-
der such trying circumstances"
Efforts were made to get an agreement
for an early vote on Senator Cummins'
amendments to the bill. Finally the Iowa
Senator proposed that a vote be taken
on his amendments before the close Of
the legislative day Tuesday. He pointed
out that he had heretofore sought to get
an agreement for a vote on his amend
ments to the bill, but Democrats had
objected.
At the suggestion OF Senator Martin,
the Democratic leader, Mr.. Cummins
modified his motion TO have the vote
taken before the adjournment of the Sem
ate Monday, but before the details Of the
plan were worked out the Senators got
into a wrangie, and finally Mr.. Cummins
in disgust withdrew his request.
