1t was not imperative that 1t should
be ratified this year, because the old
treaty would have to remain in force
up to 1912, but Japan was very de-
sirous Of having It go into effect at
the same time her treaties with other
fC g.gn nations became operative and
this country accommodated her. s
More than that there were omitted
from the new treaty certain provisions
regarding Japanese immigration which
had been offensive to that empire and
which Japan wanted left out. In fact,
the United States went to considerable
lengths in the new treaty to demon
strate friendship for Japan.

ACCIDENT TO SPEAKER BYRD.

Speaker Richard Evelyn Byrd, OIL
the Virginia House OF Delegates, was
hurled from buggy to the road late
yesterday afternoon while driving to
his home in Winchester from Berry
vile, Clarke county, where he had been
defending James Feltner, on trial for
shooting Hugh Curtis. Mr.. Byri's
escape from fatal injuries is regarded
as surprising.
An automobile, dashing by at high
speed, frightened the horse in charge
Of the colored liveryman, and Speaker
Byrd and the driver were thrown out
OF their vehicle when the horse ran off.
Cut, bruised and covered with mud,
Speaker Byrd staggered to his feet.
The driver recovered the horse, which
had fallen along the road, and the trip
to Winchester was completed without
further mishap.
The same automobile frightened a
horse driven by several women, who,
after q hard tussle, got the animal
under control.

Loeb on Higher Salaries

New York, Jan. 27.-Wm. Loeb,
jr., says: the civil service is slowly but
surely breaking down. 1t will continue
10 break down until Congress provides
some way by which old clerks in every
department OF the government may
be relieved Of the work they are now
doing without actually subjecting them
10 privation and want.

with the conditions in the civil service
during the years l served i'll the White
House. Not until l came to New
York, however. and undertook to estab'
lish the customs service on business
like basis, did l comprehend the gravity
Of the situation.
1T was inevitable that, in working
out the reforms which I wished to put
into effect in this branch of the govern
ment service, should become thoroughly
familiar with the workings OF the civil
service and with the serious problem
which confronts every official OF the
government who attempts TO place hi:

SENATOR BAILEY'S PROTEST..

A brief but scathing protest against
the increase OF the salary Of the presi-
dents secl etary from $4,000 to S10,-
| 900 year was made in the Senate
yesterday afternoon by Senator Bailey,
of Fexas. Bailey was the one man who
openly said what he thought. Others
thought what Bailey said, but raised
no voice against the item, which is
contained in the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill now
before the Senate.
Il shall" said Senator Bailey, dc
no more than merely protest against
this extraordinary item. To pay tho
secretary OF the president salary o.
% per cent. larger than senators them
selves receive; TO pay the secretary Of
the president more than circuit Judge
| OF the United States receives, is to my
mind most extraordinary proposition.
But / shall not elaborate on that
and l shall say no more at this time
than that il the president needs that
kind OF secretary the country needs
some other kind Of a president. ~.
No one made reply, but roll call
was ordered and the item approved by
vote OF 50 to %, the democrats and
insurgent republicans voting against it.
The bill contained numerous other
items increasing the salaries Of high
officials and ignoring altogether the
men inthe lower grades of the govern
ment service. The salary OF the comp
troller of the treasury is raised from
81, 500 to Sc, 900; that OF the auditor OF
the postoliice from $4,000 to 50, 900;
his law clerk gets raise from $500
10 $4,000, expert accountant from
-, 2jG to 50, $50, and four chiefs i'll the
division are increased from $4,000 to
81, 800.
The bill raises the salary OF the dr
rector of the bureau OF engraving and
printing from $500 to SO, 900, Of the
director OF the mint from $4,000 to
50, 900 and OF his adiuster OF accounts
from 50, go to $1,000. The chief Of
the bureau Of trade relations in the
state department gets u raise from
S2.100 to -, 800 and the chief clerk in
thcEtreasury department from SO, 900 to
81, 900. Various other treasury officials
in this office have increases i'll the bill
varying from $500 TO 1000 year.
Five law clerks in the customs depart
ment 90 from 81. 900 to 81, 800.
