new ECONOMYPLAN
SENT TO CONGRESS
Postmaster General Would
Save S9,0O0,0OO.

Postmaster General Hitchcock yester-
day recommended to Congress a radical
adjustment of the methods of computing
the pay of railways for transporting the
mails. which will effect an annual saving
Of approximately 100000.
Mr.. Hitchcock proposes to effect such
saving by paying the railroads on the
basis of cost with per cent profit The
plan provides that all railways shall re-
port annually to the postmaster general
the expenses incurred in carrying the
mails, in order that the department may
determine the cost to the railways and
fair rate of profit.
The method of fixing railway mail pay
in accordance with weight has proven ex-
pensive and unsatisfactory, and 1t Is pro-
posed to abandon it entirely, says Mr..
Hitchcock He suggests the substitution
of the method of fixing Compensation in
accordance with the amount of space re-
uuired in cars for the distribution and
carriage Of the mails. making proper
allowance for the extent and frequency
of the service performed:
Mr. Hitchcock sends to Congress with
his report, which was made in response
to an act passed in 1903, a draft Of a
bill to carry the new plan into effect. He
urgently recommends its passage.

HUMPHREY PRODS
GRAHAM IN HOUSE
Dilatory Methods in Bay In
vestigation Up.

Chairman Graham, Of the Controller
the committee and its dilatory methods
to scathing criticism and rebuke in the
House yesterday, when he opened up the
whole matter by rising to a question of
privilege in order to defend himself and
his committee against, the public criti-
cisms that have been widely made.
Representative Humphrey, in reply.
raped the committee for giving pub
licity to the charges against President
Taft, and then declining to dig for the
truth. He referred to Miss Abbott. the
discoverer of the famous "Dick-to-Dick'
letter, as IAN irresponsible and hysterical
petticoated muck-raker or the unsuspect-
ing tool of enemies of the President too
cowardly to strike except in the dark or
from behind"
Minority Leader Mann added to the
gayety of nations by referring to the
action of the committee as "cowardly"
for smothering the inquiry. When Mr..
Graham had resented the accusation
with glaring wrath at Mr.. Mann, Rep
resentative Burke, Of South Dakota,
himself a member of the committee,
joined in the criticism Of the chairman's
conduct of the inquiry, and said that he
had attended all Of the meetings of the
committee, but was unable to find out
anything of the chairman's intentions.
Mr.. Graham closed the scene by
warmly averring that he had never
cast any aspersions on the Presidents
good name, and that the work of the
committee will proceed in an orderly
manner to a conclusion.

DIR. WILEY WILL TESTIFY
BEFORE COMMITTEE TO-DAY
Upon the Stand Yesterday, but His Examination Has
Not Commenced.

DIR. Harvey w. Wiley, chief of the
Bureau OF Chemistry of the Agricultural
Department; Henry H. Rusby. dean of
the New York College of Pharmacy,
whom experts say is the foremost phar
macognocist in the world; Solicitor Nc
Cabe, and several minor employees of
that department were on the stand yes
terday before the Moss committee, which
is investigating the Wiley controversy.
DR.. Wiley was on the stand only long
enough to give his name and address
and say that he had been at the head
of the chemistry bureau since 1883, when
the noon whistles blew and the committee
adjourned. He will testify probably all
day to-day.
DR.. Rusby's appearance created consid-
erable interest, inasmuch as 1t was the
arrangement for his employment at a
salary of 81 500 a year that resulted in the
personnel board of the department rec
ommending that DR.. Wiley and the as
sistant chief of the Bureau of Chemistry,
DIR. Bigelow, be permitted to resign"
and that DR.. Kebler, chief of the drug
division of the bureau, be reduced.

PRESIDENT SCORES
STATEHOOD BILL
Sends Scathing Veto Mes
sage to Congress.

President Taft yesterday sent to the
House of Representatives his message
vetoing the Flood joint resolution admit
ting New Mexico and Arizona to State
hood. The President bases his veto sole
Iy on the section in the Arizona constitu-
ton which provides for the recall of the
judiciary. Mr.. Taft, himself once a dis
tinguished member Of the bench, amply
fulfilled the expectations of his friends in
denouncing this proposition in the strong
est terms ''Legalized terrorism is the
Presidents characterization Of the prop
osition.
"The character of judges would de-
teriorate." said he Ito that of trimmers
and time-servers, and independent ju-
dicial action would be thing of the
past"
Nearly every Representative was in his
seat when the message was read, and all
listened to It with the closest attention.
The Democratic leaders will probably
make an effort to pass the Statehood
bill In the House over the President s
veto. but they were not very hopeful last
night of being able to get enough in
surgent Republicans to make the neces-
sary two-thirds vote.
Shortly after the veto message was
read in the House, Senator Smith, Of
Michigan, introduced in the Senate a
new Statehood resolution patterned after
the one that the President has vetoed,
except that II eliminates the recall of the
judiciary provision from the Arizona
constitution. Senator Smith has called
a meeting of his Committee on Terri
tories for this morning and expects the
committee to report this resolution out
favorably. He predicts that the resolu-
ton will pass and that the two States
will be admitted by the President as
soon as the objectional judiciary recall
section is eliminated.
The veto message said, in part:
Supporters of such a system seem
to think that 1t will work only in the
interest of the poor, the humble, the
weak. and the oppressed; that 1t will
strike down only the Judge who is sup
posed to favor corporations and be af-
fected by the corrupting influences of
the rich.
Nothing could be further from the
ultimate result. The motive 1t would
offer to INSCRIPTIONS combina tions to
seek to control politics in order to con-
troll the judges is clear.
Those would profit by the recall
who have the best opportunity of rous-
ing the majority of the people to ac-
ton on a sudden Impulse. Are they
likely to be the wisest or the best peo-
pie in the community? Do they not
include those who have money enough
to employ the firebrands and slanderers
in community and the stirrers-up of
social hate? Would not self-respecting
men hesitate to accept judicial office
with such a sword of Damocles hang
ing over them?
What kind of judgments might
those on the unpopular side expect
from courts whose judges must make
their decisions under such legalized
terrorism? The character of the judges
would deterioHate to that of trimmers
and time-servers, and independent ju-
dicial action would be a thing of the
past"

Solicitor McCabe gave the lie direct
to DR.. kebler during the hearing, and

Kebler recently told the committee that

which the charge against him was based,

yesterday put c. c. Clark. chief clerk

SEEK TO REGULATE
HERDlC SERVICE
Committeeman Want Coaches
to Be Kept Sanitary.

The bill authorizing the District Com
missioners to regulate the service of the
Metropolitan Coach Company. which
operate automobile coaches on Sixteenth
street, was placed on the calendar of the
Senate yesterday. The District Commit
tee agreed to the measure with certain
amendments suggested by the Commission
ers, which give the latter the power TO
require the company to operate suf-
ficient number of coaches for the public
service and to keep its vehicles in sani-
tary and slightly condition. Senator
Oliver, of Pennsylvania, reported the bill,
which, it is understood, will pass the
Senate shortly. The measure provides
for the annulment Of the company's right
to operate vehicles II the regulations i'm
posed by the Commissioners are not OBJ
served.
The District Commissioners yester-
day recommended to Congress the
passage of the bill, introduced in the
last Congress by Representative Roth
ermel, of Missouri, imposing penalties
upon adult residents of the District
who willfully neglect the support Of
their aged or infirm parents in desti-
tute circumstances. The Commission
ers signified that the Rothermel meas
ure was preferable to bill for sim
ilar purpose devised by Senator Pom
creme, for the reason that 1t Is ampler

or imprisonment In the District work.

their parents 80 cents for each days labor
so performed.

INSURGENTS HOLD
ADJOURNMENT OFF
Regulars and Democrats Are
Anxious to End Session.

Congress leaders are beginning to
consider seriously the date for the ad-
journment of Congress. The passage
of the wool bill yesterday cleared the
atmosphere somewhat. 1t is predicted
that when a veto message comes to
Congress from President Taft on the
wool bill that Congress will promptly
adjourn.
Senator Penrose took the initiative
yesterday by proposing a concurrent
resolution directing the Vice President
and the Speaker to bring the session to
a close at 4 o'clock on next Tuesday,
August %. Mr.. Penrose asked that
his resolution be referred to the Com
mittee on Finance, but an objection
was made against the proposed refer
ence, and il was then referred to the
Committee on Appropriations, of which
Senator Warren is chairman. Senator
Warren expressed himself in favor of
an earlier adjournment than next
Tuesday.
Congress can get away by>next Sat-
urday night II ii tries" said the Senator.
Senator Warren is anxious to take his
bride to Wyoming in time to witness
the frontier day games at Cheyenne,
which begin Tuesday and last until Sat
urday night. The Democratic Senotors
are also in favor of an adjournment
Saturday They will hold a conference
to-day to try to agtoe on a programme
of business that will make adjournment
possible before Saturday night. Repre-
sentative Underwood expressed the opin-
ion that Congress would adjourn on
Wednesday of next week.
The only individuals not reconciled to
an early adjournment apparently are the
insurgents When Senator Penrose pre-
sented his resolution yesterday, both Sem
ators Cumn,ins and Bristow served notice
that they would oppose any adjournment
until there was a vote on the cotton
bill and pending amendments. If the
regular Republicans and the Democrats
combine In an effort to bring about an
adjournment this week, they will proba-
bly, succeed, for they can impose night
sessions and long hours and soon wear
out the insurgents. The insurgents have
threatened to debate a resolution for ad-
journment If one is brought in and try in
that way 10 prevent a vote on II IL their

tration, would be rejected by the country
affected, without regard to whether in so
doing they broke the general arbitration
treaty or not. In the opinion of the COM
mittee, 1t should not be possible, under
the terms of any treaty, for such de-
plorable situation to arise. Nothing ought
to be promised that we are not absolutely
certain that we can carry out to the let
ter. If the third clause of Article III re-
mains in the treaty, 1t is quite possible
that the unhappy situation just described
might arise, and the treaty would then
become not what we fondly hope it will
be, a noble instrument of peace, but an
ill-omened breeder of bitterness and war.
For that reason, as we'll as on constitu-
tional grounds and in the best interests
Of peace and arbitration itself, the COM
nittee recommends that this clause be
stricken from the treaty"

involved in any treaty submitted to it
N accordance with the Constitution.
The Majority Report.

The objections of the committee to the
arbitration treaties are embodied in the
following portion of the report:
THE last clause of Article III, there
fore, the Committe on Foreign Relations
advises the Senate to strike from the
treaty and recommends an amendment to
that effect. This recommendation is
made because there can be no question
that through the machinery of the joint
commission, as provided in Articles II
and III, and with the last clause
of Article III included, the Senate is de-
prived of its constitutional power to pass
upon ale questions involved in any
treaty submitted to 1t in accordance with
the Constitution. The committee believes
that it would be violation of the Con-
stitution of the United States to confer
upon outside commissions powers which,
under the Constitution, devolve upon the
Senate. 1t seems to the committee that
the Senate has no more right to delegate
Its share of the treaty-making power
than Congress has to delegate the legis-
lative power.
''The most vital question in every pro-
posed arbitration is whether the diff
ference is arbitrable.
Monroe Doctrine Threatened.
"For instance, if another nation
should do something to which we OBJ
the validity of our objection should be
challenged and an arbitration should
be demanded by that other nation, the
vital point would be whether our right
to insist upon the Monroe doctrine was
subject to arbitration, and If the third
clause of Article II remains in the trea-
ty the Senate could be debarred from
passing upon that question.

: is the power to determine who shall
rome into the country and under what
conditions. If our right to exclude
certain classes of immigrants were
challenged, the question could be
forced before joint commission,
and If that commission decided that
the question was arbitrable the Senate
would have no power to reject the spe-
cfal agreement for the arbitration of
that subject on the ground that 1t was
not a question for arbitration within
the contemplation of Article I.
THE history Of the United States for
a period of more than seventy years
exhibits a record Of arbitration treaties
