WILLIAM J. BRYAN
ASSAILED IN THE HOUSE
Democratic Leader Denounces as
False His Charse-Cheers
Greet Answer.

Standing upon chairs,
waving handkerchiefs and yelling at
the tops of their voices, Democratic
Representatives acclaimed Represen-
tative Oscar W. Underwood OF Ala
bama, Democratic leader OF tho
House. when he fired verbal tSoad-
side at William jennings Bryan for
criticising his position on extension OF
the tariff revision programme. 1t was
the most remarkable scene in the
House since the beginning of the ex-
ira session of Congress.
Excoriating the three times candi-
date of the Democratic party for Presi-
Dental honors, Leader Underwood de-
nounced Bryan's statements as false,
defended his (Underw ood's) attitude
as to revision of the iron and steel
tariff schedules, and said Bryan had
placed upon every Democratic mem
ber implications unfounded in fact.
He called on his Democratic collea-
CUES of the Ways and Means commit
tee for corroboration of his attitude
In committee and in caucus.
Underwood was backed up in 81
milarly striking speech by RepreseN-
tative Kitchin of North Carolina,
long a devoted friend of Bryan. Kit
chin expressed astonishment that any
Democrat should so malign Under
wood and the party, and through ali
this arraignment not voice was
raised in defense of Bryan.
1t all came about from a published
interview, which purported to be "au-
thorized" by Bryan, asserting II was
time Democratic Leader Underwood
was 'unmasked."

Washington.-Secr of State
Knox and Ambassador Bryce of Great

the arbitration treaty between the

At the same time Secretary Knox
placed his signature upon the treaty

witnessed the signature for the
French Government Earlier Ambas-
sador Jusserand of France had signed
the French copy of the Franco-Ameri-
can treaty in the foreign office at
Paris, SO that both treaties became
accepted on the same day and are
ready now for submission to the Sen
ate.
The ceremony took place in the his
toric Presidents Study" of the White
House, where many other treaties
have been signed, the last being the
treaty of peace with Spain. President
Taft, the members of his cabinet,
few newspaper men and photograph

ceremony. An impressive simplicity
marked this forward step TO universal
peace.
The texts of the treaties supple

in scope all other arbitration treaties
by extending the machinery Of inter
national arbitration to include ques-

the former treaties with England and

Commissioner Hayes on the charge OF

The men have had a preliminary

they are under arrest on the charge
OF conspiring on April l TO smuggle
tobacco valued at $4,000 and of TAX

The contraband goods are said to
have been removed from the dock
during the lunch hour of the customs
inspectors.
Such an unusual amount OF secrecy
has attended the movements OF the
officials making the investigation that
1t is believed that the two men under
arrest are not suspected as the princi-
pals in the scheme and that one or
more men higher up" in New York
will join them as defendants when
the case is heard again.
According to the stories that have
been circulating along the water
front, the tobacco was imported in
l50-pound boxes and carted away
from the Ham mburg American line
pier in Charlestown in broad day.
light, the noon hour, between II and
o'clock, being the favorite time.
Special Agent William Harney is
credited with the detection OF the
fraud.
A raid was made which brought to
light a large quantity of tobacco and
led to two other seizures. In all
$4,000 worth of smugged leaf to-
tobacco was seized in three raids.
This tobacco is used for cigar wrap
pers and is dutiable all the way from
s1.S5 to $3.50 a pound. All Of the to-
baccc seized came here from a small
town near Hamburg.
The customs officials are said to be
of the opinion that the tobacco was
smuggled here with connivance on
the part of the crew.
The two stevedores who have been
arrested charged with conspiracy in
the smuggling of the tobacco are
Peter Bray of East Boston. They
have been accused of helping to
smuggle $4,000 worth OF tobacco into
Boston on July 20. 1t is understood
that both the Bostonia and the Pre-
toria Of the Hamburg-American line
were in port at the time.

"He is the worst type of criminal

said the district attorney, "for he has
made his millions by dragging into the
illegal pools that he has built up men
who were honorable and had no inten.

the country to get the men he had

believing that he had put the whole

who originated the whole scheme for
the wire pools and it was he who was
responsible for the system of fines
that were levied and collected. In.

law clerks, he has maintained a great
suit of Offices, full Of detectives, in

the pool members did not break their

were operated from his office.
