VOTE IS
DEBATED
Many Legislators Discuss
Direct Election Of Sc |
p: ators by People
Friends Of Measure Fear
That Amendment Offered
Will Spell Defeat
(ey Associated Press.)

Washington, D. c., Jan. 20-For the
first time since the report of the resolu-
tion looking to the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people, that resolution today became the
subject Of general debate in the senate,
and the debate served to indicate the
chief danger threatening the success of
the resolution. Rayner was the chief
speaker, but the discussion was partici-
pated in by Bacon, Rorah, Sutherland
and others.
The discussion grew out of the Marv-
land senator's assault upon the Suther-
land amendment, giving congress such
power to control the time and manner of
holding senatorial elections as is now
possessed by it i'll the election of men,
bers of the house of representatives.
The amendment is giving friends of the
resolution their principal concern. 1t
appeals to many of the republican sen-
ators. but not TO the democrats. The
apprehension is that it may be voted in
to the resolution and in that event it is
probable that the provision as whole
would be defeated A majority vote
would be sufficient to adopt the amend
ment, while two-thirds would be neces-
sary to insure the success of the resolu-
ton as a whole. Both Rayner and Ba-
con charged that the Sutherland provi-
sion would authorize the use of federal
agents at the polls, and while Suther-
land admitted that such exercise of such
authority would be possible, he contend
ed that it would be invoked only in case
of abuses.
An extended speech in opposition to
the ocean mail bounty bill was made
by Burton, who was frequently inter-
rupted by Galinger, a warm advocate
Cunmns also opposed the measure.
In the house the postofice appropria-
ton bill was under consideration
the day.

Agreement Reached BetN cen
Executive Branches Of
j, 5. and Canada
Substantial Reduction OfCuS.
toms Duties Of Two Coun.
tries to Result
(By Associated Press.)

Washington D. c., Jan. 20.-Within
two weeks from the date that the Cana
dian reciprocity commissioners began
their conference in Washington, an
agreement has been reached, SO far as
the executive branches of the govern
ments of the United States and Canada
are concerned, that will result in stub
stantial reduction of customs duties OIL
number of products, natural and man-
ufactured, of the two countries.
The commissioners met at the state de-
partment today for the purpose of max
ing a careful comparison of various
schedules involved in the arrangement,
to make sure that no error had crept in
and that nothing remained likely to be
subject to conflicting constructions in the
future. Acting precisely in accordance
with the announcement contained in a
statement given to the press when the
commissioners first met, even today,
with the agreement practically reached,
individual commissioners felt themselves
bound to refrain from giving the least
intimation as to the products affected by
their negotiations, and stated that the
information will be withheld until the
sessions of the commissioners have
reached an end, when formal
announcement of the result will be made.
As soon as this is done, the president
will take the necessary steps to bring
the matter to the attention of congress.
While the usual course in such cases is
to submit a draft treaty to the senate
for it sapproval and accompany this by
a project for legislation to make the ne
cessary changes in the tariff schedules,
it is possible that there will be de-
parture from the established order in the
case of the Canadian reciprocity pro-
jects. This looks to the Abandonment
of treaty entirely in favor of purely
legislative action. No good reason is
seen why all purposes will not be served
by the passage of a simple joint resolu-
ton by both the senate and house, max
ing tariff schedules correspond to the
rates proposed by the commissioners, so
far as they relate to Canadian products
only. 1t is presumed that the Canadian
legislature can deal with the subject in
the same way, in which case there would
be no occasion for the Intervention of
imperial authorities, or for treaty of
any kind The commissioners expect
that the conference tomorrow will con-
clude negotiations.

Ann .Arbor, Mich, Jan. 2O.-That lit
tie Foster Campbell, who dead body was
found last night hanging in shack
built by the boys of the ncighborhood,
met his headth at the hands of former
playmate is the opinion of the police to-
night. Today they found outside of the

"Good-bye, davel."
(Signed) "Loise H.
"Davel,' the police believe, was in
tended by the writer of the note to mean
"Devil," and "Loise H." evidently was
intended to convey the impression that
Loise Heron, years old, the closest
friend of the dead lad, was responsible
for his death and had scribbled fare
well. 1t is the belief of the police
that some older boy detected Foster
Campbell tearing boards from the shack,
over which the children had been QUAR-
reling for several days. and in order to
friglten him knotte dthe rope about the
little fellows neck and tied the loose end
to the rafter. The rope was drawn too
tightly and death resulted from strangu-
lation. Then the police believe, in an
attempt to direct suspicion against the
Heron child, the guilty boy wrote the
goodbye note and fled.

HANNA SECURES
ALFALFA seed
F0RN.DAk0IANS

Washington, Jan. 20.-Several years
ago, the government sent John Han.
son into Northern Siberia to find
some alfalfa that would grow in a
cold, dry, northern climate, something
that would be especially adapted to
North Dakota and to Montana. Mr..
Hanson was successful in getting
hold of little seed and the govern
ment has been carefully propagating
this seed ever since.
A year ago Congressman Hanna
who is a member of the agricultural
committee in the house, applied for
some of this seed to send up into
North Dakota to try it out upon the
farms there, but failed because Of a
shortage in the supply. He took the
matter up again this winter on his
return to Washington, with Secretary
Of Agriculture Wilson, and with bet.
ter results, succeeding in getting nine
small packages of the so-called Han.
son Siberian alfalfa seed. This seed
is being sent into different localities
in the state of North Dakota with
the understanding that it is to be
planted and cared for under regula.
tions gotten out by the government
bureau Of plant industry.

almost three days of argument on the
subject, the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor today de.
cided to grant charter to the Western

United States and Canadian
Companies Reach In
poftant Agreement
Reduction in Rates Between
all Offices in j. 5. and
Many in Canada
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Jan. 20.-Officers of Can
adan and American express companies
tonight announced reduction in
through rates soon to take effect between
all offices of the United States and
many of Canada. 1t is explained that
several of the Canadian companies have
held back up to the present because the
customs regulations at the Canadian bor-
der require so much extra work that a
reduction III the existing rates would in
many cases work hardship. All the
important express companies were rep
resented, including the Adams, Cana
dian, American, National. Northern,
Southern, Western, Pacific, United
States, and the Wells-Fargo.
In explaining the new schedule, the
companies instance the present rate be-
tween Planfeld, N. J., and Boston,
which under the new rules will be IS
cents, a saving to the shipper Of 33
per cent.
The announcement made at the close
of the conference follows:
A decision was reached today by the
principal express companies, which is
of far-reaching Importance. Instead of
two companies which may handle an
express package making a separate
charge on each line, the charge will be
the same as if one company had carried
the package from the shipping point to
its destination. The necessary details
are now being perfected, and as soon as
legal requirements are complied with,
this plan for through service at a
through rate will then take effect gen.
orally between all express offices in the
United States.
