JAPANESE WARMED
TO UNITED STATES
THE FIRST OF ALL THE NEW
TREATIES.
Thus Ratification Was Especial Mark
of Friendliness.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The real i'm
portance OF the new japanese treaty
developed today when it was learned
at the japanese embassy that the
convention is in fact the first of the
whole fabric of treaties to readjust
Japanese trade anf commercial reia-
tions with the great powers, and even
the lesser nations with which she has
built up trade.
1t is true that there has been much
negotiation on this subject and the
drafts of as many as thirteen trade
treaties have been made. but so far
not any of them has actually been
ratified. While it was originally ex-
pected that the United States might
be behind the other powers in the
conclusion of new treaty by reason
of the fact that the existing treaty
with Japan would not expire until
July, 1912, this country has actually
gone To the front and acted as a
pioneer for all of the other nations
For the reason that the United
States has not insisted upon claiming
the very last year under the present
treaty; that it has not as was ex-
pected in some quarters. waited To
see what the other nations were do
ing, but with full confidence in the
honor of Japan. has led the way in
ratifying the new treaty.
the japanese government and people
are deeply grateful, and in the opin-
ion of the japanese embassy this ac-
ton will do much to inspire the clos
est friendship between the two ma
tons
Regarding the condition in the pro-
tocol of the treaty that pending the
conclusion of a special agreement. the
provisions relating to tariff in the
treaty of the 22d of November. 1894
shall be maintained" it is said au-
that there will be no eff
fort in the immediate future to make
such a special arrangement between
America and Japan. Instead. the bust
ness of the two countries will be con-
Quoted. so far as customs duties are
under the terms of the old
treaty.
America will not be the loser by
this. it is said. for even if Japan
should conclude special trade arrange
nents with other countries whereby
hey viii secure an abatement of inn
DOrtant duties upon their goods en-
-ering Japan the latter government
will. under the favored nation
,lause Immediately extend the same
privilege to like imports from the
United States and this will continue
or until the two coun-
ries see fit to enter into one of
hese special arrangements. perhaps

COMPLAINT OF A JUDGE
WHOSE TIME HAD EXPIRED
DESCRIBES THE OEsPoTIsM IN
PANAMA.
There is Really Little Use of a Court
There Anyhow.

Chicago, Feb. 25.-Lorin G. Collins
until two months ago associate jus
tice of the supreme court at Panama
tonight said the president of the
United States has usurped the func-
lions of the executive branch of the
government at Panama and now rules
under a despotism as absolute as that
Of Russia. Mr.. Collins spoke before
SEQ Chicago lawyers at a banquet and
reviewed the history of American rule
in the canal zone during his six years
as Justice
The presidents word, not the law,
he said, governs everything. The
result is, there has been built up I'M
der the American flag a bureaucracy
which controls everything in the zone
and against which even courts are
poweTless. After the canal commits
sion was established in 1904, President
Roosevelt decided that he could change

orders, which were. in fact. new laws.
