SHARP CRITICISM
For British Government for Course in
Canadian Reciprocity.

London. May 1S.-The government
was sharply criticized by the Earl Of
Selberne in the House Of Lords this
evening for what ne termed their "ex-
traordinary supineness" in failing t.
safeguard the interests of the ITniteG;
Kingdom in the American Canadian
reciprocity agreement. The earl re-
ferred to President Taft's very re-
markable speech" and declared that
when Mr. Taft said the annexation talk
was bcsh all accepted the Presidents
word; nevertheless the agreement
formed precedent capable OF very
large extension. 1t was the first time
In the history of the empire that one
party had obtained better terms from a
foreign country than had the United
Kingdom and the step between reeeiv-
ing and giving better terms was a short
one. Ii the Dominions got accustomed
to receiving better terms, the earl con-
tinued. they might come To think that
ii was natural to give foreign countries
better terms than they gave the Unit
Ell Kingdom or the other dcminions OF
the empire
Ratification of the agreement, the
Earl of Seiborne said in conclusion,
would place this country in a position
of extraordinary difficulty.
Baron Lucas. parliamentarian under
secretary to the war office. replying ON
behalf of the government, declared
that the Earl of Selborne greatly
r-cstimated the damage to the trade
of the United Kingdom and the diff
eulties that might arise as a result Of
tie reciprocity agreement. Canada was
perfectly within her statutory rights
and tie government could not inter-
fere. The United Kingdom, the baron
said. could never offer Canada the
same advantages as could the United
States. Canada and the United States
We're complementary to one another
in a degree to which Capada and Great
Britain never could be.
War Secretary Haldane, who re-
Gently was elevated to the peerage,
said it was the policy of the govern
ment 70 give the people of Canada ev-
cry facility to do the BEST they could
GO for themselves The government
held that it was not to the disadvant-
age OF the United Kingdom that Can
ada should develop trade relations
with the United States.
We hold, continued the secretary.
that Canada with great trade of
this kind cannot fail 10 be more pros
porous Canada. affording a better mar
ket for our goods and able to do more
trade With ourselves Therefore from
every point in view we look upon
steps she is taking as probably a very
good step in our interests as we'll as
the interests of Canada, 1t is not for
us to intermcddle inner policy We do
not think it a good think To attempt
to guide or influence the policy OF our
great dominions in matters of trade.
We are free traders and we intend to
remain free traders.

SMUGGLING CASE.
Continued from Page one.)

In opening of the defence Guy \. Ham.
counsel for the defendants. said that he
would show that from the time that
Clyde b. Ambrose, special agent of the
department of justice, who has secured
much of the testimony offered by the
government. he was known as a govern
ment employee and the defendants were
simply fooling with him.
DR. Moy was one of the first witnesses
and stated that he was 40 years old, liv-
ed at Woodcliffe Lake, n. j., was grad
nate of the Philadelphia Medical College
and was educated also i'll New York
and New Jersey. For 10 years he had
been an inspector in the government SER
vice. He admitted that he met Ambrose
twice in New York, but denied that he
had given Ambrose list of Cinnamon in
Jamaica. DR.. Moy said he didn't know
single Chinaman in Jamaica. When
Ambrose told him he had struggled 400
pounds of opium into this country. DIR.
Moy said that he had expressed his
doubt to Ambrose that he had done any
such thing. During their talk DIR. Moy
said he saw a government letter head on
a paper in Ambroses pocket and knew
he was a government employee. The
court then adjourned for the day.

Among private individuals the man,

shape Of the free list bill which was
called up just before the adjournment
yesterday and which threatens to
lead to almost debate before it final

forsee long days of talk ahead. That
the measure will pass is generally

The bill puts agricultural imple-

ers Have Filed Applications to Get
Portions of the Land-(ongress
Must Act.

Portland, Ore, April 25.-Federal
Judge Charles e. o. Wolverton de-
cided today that the Southern Pacific
and the Oregon and California Rail-
way companies must forfeit to the
united States government about 2OO,-
600 acres Of land which is valued at
$4O,000,00O to $75,0O0,000.
Interpreting the act of congress
granting the land as an aid to rail-
way construction, the court held that
congress intended that this land
should be sold to bona fide settlers
In tracts not greater than 100 acres to
one individual and at price not ex-
ceeding $3.50 an acre.
While deciding in favor of the fed
eral government, Judge Wolverton
decided against the several thousand
interveners in the case. He held
that they had acquired no right what
ever either by settling on the land
or by rendering the maximum sum
per claim specified by the law.
The effect of this portion of the
decision is that the lands cannot be
procured by any individual until the
president or congress opens them to
entry or file. The sixty-seven entry
men who had gone up on the land as
settlers before the suits of the gov
ernment began also lose their claims
and are held to have gained no ad-
vantage whatever by their period of
settlement.
More than 5000 interveners have
filed applications to get portion of
