Washington.-The Democrats OF tht
house are prepared to go to work at
once on the revision of several
schedules OF the Payne-Aldr1ch tariff
act should an extra session be called
following the present session Of con-
gress.
An authoritative statement to this
effect was given out Tuesday by Rep
~resentative Underwood OF Alabama,
who has been selected as chairman OF
the new committee on ways and means
It was made to correct an
report which has gained circulation In
the last few days. Mr.. Underwood
said:
THE statement that If an extra 8
sion is called the Democrats In the
house will not begin the work OF revts-
ing the tariff is absolutely unfounded.
The Democrats are pledged to revise
the tariff and If we go into an extra
session the house un~Questionably Will
pass some tariff bills, revising some OF
the schedules of the Payne act down
ward, before 1t adjourns."

Feature of Document Transmitted to

ton Restrictions.

Observation-Disclosures Taft Tues
day transmitted to the senate the pro-
posed new treaty with Japan.
The distinctive feature Of the docu-
ment is that 1t omits all reference to
the restrictions now imposed by the
United States o. the admittance of
Japanese immigrants to these shores.
The understanding Is that this all
important question Is left to the ma
tional honor of the Japanese govern
ment, which is expected to enforce at
her home ports the limitations which
are now enforced Under the Root-Aokt
agreement in the matter of her sub
jects who seek entrance to the Uni
ted States. Pending ratification, the
new treaty is submitted to the senate
as a confidential documents, and it II
impossible to secure the exact text Of

REJECT ROADS PLEA
COMMERCE COMMISSION UNANl.
MOUSLY DECIDE AGAINST
INCREASE IN RATES.
ADVANCE is NOT NECESSARY
Decision Shows Carriers to Be Pros
perous-Do Not Need Larger Rev.
enue to Maintain Their Credit or
Insure Against Adversely.

Washington.-The interstate com
MERGE commission In a decision hand
ed down Thursday rules against the
railroads in both the eastern and the
western rate cases.
The railroads are prohibited from
advancing first-class rates and they
are ordered to reduce second-class
rates.
The commission shows that at the
moment when the railroads were ar
guing their justification for a raise
they were eminently prosperous. The
decisions were by unanimous vote OF
the commission.
The report, written by Commission
er Franklin K. Lane. is an elaborate.
optimistic review Of the American
railway situation.
Despite what the railroad reports
say OF the considerable increase IN
wages and the increase In the cost OF
fuel. the last six months of the year
1910, In which the new wage SEIZED
uIes were in effect, the report shows
for the carriers the largest operating
income they have ever enjoyed.
The report opens with a considera-
ton of the effect railroad rate regula-
ton has had upon the revenues Of the
carriers, in which It is shown that, by
reason of the law and its enforcement,
the railroads have been protected
against each other. AS a result the
ven of the carriers have In
creased under regulation n their
dividends and their surplus have also
Increased as in no other period OF
their history. In the past ten years
the railroads OF the United States
have borrowed over four and one-haf
billion dollars, or twice the amount
OF the national debt at the close Of the
Civil
This is evidence Of the faith the
public has In these properties. The
rate OF dividends and the total amount
has increased more rapidly than the
additional mileage built The west
ern roads have increased their sur
plus over 100 per cent in ten years.
Comment Is made upon the fact
that the railroads r now seeking to
increase rates which were voluntarily
made by them under competitive con-
ulL1Ou6 dAu WHICH IACy d0AAA@ SOuAA
not be increased under such condi-
lions. The carriers r seeking to
gain the benefits Of protective legis-
latio1 and at the same time asking
for . free hand and criticizing the
law for the restraints which It casts
upon them. 1t is found that the car
do not need larger revenue for
purposes Of maintaining their credit
insuring them against temporary
The report closes with these words:
I'VE shall ask the carriers to with
draw the proposed tariffs and. II such
II not taken, the commission
will further suspend these rates and
make an order directing the mainte-
nance OF present rates for q period OF
two years"

Are Answered In Reciprocity
Debate.

London. - Again In the house OF
commons the government was
made the target for a multiplicity
of questions regarding the United

In most instances the replies Of the
ministers were colorless r~eiterations
of known facts.
They evaded the political controver-
sizes which the unionist hecklers
sought to arouse.
Tho unionists were especially active
in suggesting that Ambassador Bryce
had failed in his duty Of watching
over British interests, but Premier
Asquith staunchly defended the diplo-
mat. The ambassador, he said. had
kept his eye on the special interests

Der women largely predominated v
the men, but few OF the latter being
able to obtain seats In b chamber.
For three hours the battle waged.
and at Its conclusion Chairman Baine
announced that the measures would be
taken up in executive session by the
committees. Both sides put forth their
best speakers.
The anti-sufIragists who spoke in
cluded Miss Margaret Doane Gardiner
of Albany, who declared that there Ia
nothing dignified about a sufragist."
Miss Margaret c. Cummings Of New
York, q school teacher, although n Of
those poor down-trodden working
women" the suffragists speak about,
said she never had felt the need of q
vote.
Richard Barry, an investigator who
described the conditions in the suf-
frage states, and Miss Alice Hill Chit
tenden urged the committee seriously
to consider the arguments of both
sides before deciding the question and
not to report the bill because the suf-
fragists had asked for it.
Speaking from the suffragist stand

HITS AT GOVERNOR DENEEN
Senator Declares He Secured Support
From Democrats In His Election
Through FriendshIp-oalned by
His Deep Waterway Plan.

Observation-Disclosures a vast assem-
blage of spectators and a full attend
ance of members Senator William
Lorimer Wednesday denied on the
floor of the senate that he had pur-
chased or authorized the purchase of
votes in the Illinois legislature to en-
compass his election.
Throughout Mr.. Lorimer's final ex-
position Of his defense. he strove to
make 1t plain that the mysterious
Democratic votes which enabled him
to get his senatorial seat were given
him as the gifts of lifelong friend
ship.
Mr.. Lorimer then stated that an ef-
fort had been made to cover the case
with a cloud of suspicion, and to make
1t appear that some man Of great abil-
ity had prepared a plan to organize
the legislature OF Illinois for the pur-
pose of defeating Hopkins and elect
ing some one else United States sena-
tor.
Edward Shurtleff was elected speak
er because of q condition which arose
there and II a similar condition had
arisen anywhere In the country, the re-
suit would have been the same" said
Lorimer. Governor Deneen was op-
posed to the reelection Of the speaker.
and said that some one else must be
elected. Under no circumstances was
any Republicans to vote for Shurtleff.
Representative Brady. who had pledged
his support to ShurtleR. was told that
If he did not Join In with Deneen's
plans every employe who had obtained
his position at Brady's recommends
ton would be forthwith dismissed. In
other words, the governor Of state
undertook to dictate who should be
speaker"
Senator Crawford interrupted. IF
this statement Is true" he said, why
was not Governor Deneen called as a
witness In order that he might have
the opportunity Of making reply to
this charger"
1T would have been impossible for
Governor Deneen to have been called
to refute that statement" said Lori
NOR, "as the cause for making 1t was
not suggested until the senator from
South Dakota, Mr.. Crawford. made It
on the floor a short time ago"
Senator Lorimer then took up con-
s%ideration OF the democratic vote
which he received and the incident Of
his presence in Springfield. He told
the story Of his interest in the lakes-to-
the-gulf deep waterway plan and his
effort to make 1t a non-partison propo-
isition. In this way, he said. he gained
the friendship of the Democrats.
His presence In Springfield was
caused by by this plan and his desire
Ito win votes for himself In the ace
for the senatorship, was tho line Of
lLorimer's argument. ut has always
struck me that II a man wants the
votes OF the Legislators he has a right
to 70 where tho votes are" said Mr..
,Lorimer.
II say on my word ~ . man and on
my word ~ q senator that ] Am not
guilty-that I have no knowledge and
that I had NO knowledge In the ~
hottest degree-that bribery and cor
ruption were used in securing my cleo
