Section Three
"The third section Is the one upon
which the senate committee of for
eign affairs-the majority and the
minority-differ most. The third sec
ton provides that If the two parties
to the treaty do not agree that the
issue arising-the quarrel-is one
which can be arbitrated under the
treaty, and which must be arbitrated
under the treaty, then this joint high
commission is to decide whether it is
so to be arbitrated according to the
terms of the treaty. The senate says
the senate committee says, because
I hope the senate will say otherwise
that they cannot abdicate their
functions and consent that some 9TH
er body shall decide this question as
to whether the issue is to be arbi-
trated or not. The senate has already
made a good many treaties In which
they have agreed to arbitrate ques-
tons arising in the future, IL they do
not concern national honor and vital
interest; therefore, they have agreed

case they can do it in this. They

M'vEACH SET
ASIDE The LAW?
Claimed He Ordered Duty on
Creosote Ignored, Costing
u. S. Millions.
BROTHER WAS INTERESTED
Reason Given Before House Commit
tee Was Railroads "Couldn't
Afford TO Pay"

Washington, May 23-Testifying
before the house committee on ex-
penditures in the treasury depart
ment yesterday, J. E. B. Stuart, for
mer collector Of customs at Newport
News, said Secretary Of the Treasury
MacVeagh had told him that the de-
partment reversed a ruling calling
for collection of a 90 per cent duty
on creosote importations because the
railroads could not afford to pay
duty on that commodity.
Another witness testified that
Wayne Macveagh, the secretary's
brother, had interested himself in the
matter.
STUART INVESTIGATED.
Mr.. Stuart instigated an investiga-
ton into creosote imports at New
Orleans last fall, charging that the
governmtnt was losing millions in
revenues because creosote dutiable
at 20 per cent ad valorem, was adj
mitted as creosote oil free of duty.
He told the committee no duty was
collected at New Orleans from for
eign ships whose manifestes showed
lASlI Cebl cues W NC u SOoObC, Tic SSIA
goes being received as creosote oil,
which is on the free list.
PITY FOR RAILROAD ALLEGED.
He said Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury A. Plat Andrew had Or
dered duty collected on such imports
last September, and subsequently
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Curtis reversed the order, asserting
that the goods were not subject to
revenue because they did not contain
as much as per cent chlorine gas.
did Mr.. MacVeagh give any rea-
son for the order?" Chairman Cox
of the committee asked.
Yes" Stuart replied, che said
the railroads could not afford to pay
duty on it,"
WAS that the only reason he
gave?" asked the chairman.
THAT is the only one I recall, 3"
was the reply.
Previously Allan L. Benson had
told the committee, in executive ses-
sion, that Mr.. MacVeagh had inform
ed him that his instinct told him
his assistant, Mr.. Curtis. had done
TlSnI IN reversing LHe uepdT IInellI III
favor of the railroads"
INVOLVES BROTHER OF SECRETARY.
When the committee asked if Mr..
MacVeagh gave any reason, Mr.. Ben
son replied:
"Mr. MacVeagh said timber was
becoming scarce in this country, and
everybody should do what he could
to preserve and conserve what tim
Der we have. He said creosote is a
preservative and increases the length
of life of ties and the railroads
should be encouraged in every way
to use it. He said It made a serious
difference with the railroads whether
they paid the duty or not.
He also said his brother Wayne,
had called on him one day to inquire
what the department was going to
do in the creosote matter and he said
he told him it was going to admit
it free. and that his brother then said
that was right"

CROP PROSPECTS
CONTINUED from page one

when the yield was 13,S25,00 bales.
Realizing the need of a very large
crop by the world for next season, the
South is making every endeavor to
produce a record-breaking yield this
year. To that end the largest acreage
in the history of the staple has been
pitched in the cotton belt this year,
and under conditions unusually favor
able for a good start. The increase
in acreage over last years area is
estimated at about 100000 acres, or
total acreage of about 35,O89,000
acres against 33,41S,OOO acres planted
one year ago, which would represent
an increase Of about per cent. Un-
like last year, Texas has been favored
With generous well distributed rains,
especially the arid sections of the
western part OF the State, which
means so much to the making of a
good crop in that State. The April
average rainfall in Texas was 4.88
inches, or 100 inches more than the
normal, and the total average precipi-
tation for months ending May 1st
was 12.47 inches, compared with 9.06
last year, 4.S3 year before last and
1914 in 1908. There is said to be o
large increase in the use of fertilizers
in nearly all sections Of the South, es-
pecially in the East Gulf and South
Atlantic districts, sales OF mules are
reported on an extensive scale, also
of improved farm implements and 1t is
said that modern methods of cultiva-
ton are being followed closely with
the view of obtaining the best results.
The favorable weather during the
month of May has permitted cleaning
fields of weeds and grass, and it is
said that planting has been all but
completed without the loss of acre
age, large portion of which is usually
abandoned for one reason or another.
At the moment crop accounts from all
sections could hardly be better, and
instead of the season being late by
one to three weeks, as was generally
reported some time ago, latest advices
are to the effect that the start is one
to two weeks ahead of last year The
/ first Bureau crop condition report will
be issued June End, and will compare
with so last year and the ten-year
average Of 80.9."
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-05-22

For the first time in nearly ten
original copies of the constitution of
the United States and the Declaration
of Independence, were uncovered the
other day. 1t was found by Secretary
Knox that the safe in which they have
been kept was not absolutely fire
proof or water proof, so a new re-
ceptacle has been ordered. The
Declaration displays the ravages of
time alarmingly, also the disastrous
effects of the press copying to which
it was submitted in 1852 and from
which all facsimilies have been made.
Nearly all the signatures have faded
away, even the famous scroll of John
Hancock being only vaguely and in
completely visible. The dimmed text,
however, is readable in it's entirety.
It is known that the chief purpose
of President Taft's trip to Chicago
early next month when he is scheduled
to speak before the Western Eco
nomic society, is to gain votes for re-
ciprocity. Mr.. Taft has been assured
by Senator Cullom that Illinois voters
will support the treaty. Senator Lori
mer is expected to oppose it, although
he may not do so If he votes as the
"bellwethers" preceding him on the
roll call will do. Realizing that Chi
cago is the centre of the middle west
and that he can reach millions OF
farmers through the press of that ter
ritory, Mr.. Taft intends to present it
as strongly as he can, endeavoring to
convince the farmers that their inter
ests will not be adversely affected
through the passage of the treaty.
