Three sections Of the bill as II passed the
House were eliminated by the committee
and some OF the friends OF the measure say
that the changes make the measure OF no
effect The sections stricken out are those
which would authorize agents OF telegraph,

the Postmaster General, on evidence salts

the senders when he believed It to be un-
lawful under the proposed act.
The action OF the committee was pre-
ceded by hearing. Most OF the members
were unwilling to indorse bill OF so dras-
tice a character. although they were in
favor of some measure that would elimi-
nate gambling from dealings In cotton.

LIQUOR FOR MINNESOTA
President Repeals Portions of
Ancient Indian Treaties.

Washington, Feb. 17-President Taft has
repealed those portions OF treaties made
with the Indian tribes OF Minnesota half a
century ago prohibiting all traffic in intoxi-
cants in the Indian country. He sent 10
Congress q special message urging similar
action by that body in those treaties the
provisions Of which he is not empowered to
repeal or modify.
"ln the years which have elapsed since
making these treaties" the President says
in the message, conditions have largely
changed The Indian population has been
reduced. large white settlements have been
made. and great cities Ike ST. Paul and Min
neapolis have come to occupy a portion OF
what, at the date Of the treaties was de-
nominated Indian country. Notwithstand-
ing these facts this territory still remains
subject 10 the regulation respecting the
traffic in liquor originally imposed for the
protection Of the Indians.
Such an anomalous condition of affairs
should no longer continue, and the regula-
ton OF traffic in liquors In those areas, now
almost exclusively occupied by white peo-
ple. should be left TO them. In those in
stances where the treaty authorized the
President to repeal or modify the provisions
have exercised that right Some Of the

ROOT ON LATIN america
Pleads for Promotion of Trade
Relations.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Wth a plea FOR or
ganization and combination on the part OF
American business men for the promotion
Of trade with Latin America, Senator Root
advoca ted the principle Of organization in
business in an address at the closing ses
sion Of the Pan-American Commercial Con-
ference to-day He deplorei the fact that
the operations Of law against the great in
dustrial organizations reduced the indus
trial efficiency Of the country.
1T is important 70 break up organiza-
tions," he said. when they are monopoliz-
ing the means Of subsistence. but there Is
one way 70 counteract this influence. and
that is by substituting organizations on a
sound basis. not violating any law. but Sc
curing the concerted action OF great num-
bers Of Americans VINO nave common
purpose.
The great principle Of organization
which is revolutionizing the business Of the
world, applies TO the subject Of the extern
sion Of trade. Germany 10 4 considerable
extent requires combination Of her manu-
tacturers, producers and commercial con-
Germs. Japan also practically does this.
But in the United States II cannot be done
under government leadership, because the
people Go not conceive II TO be the gov
ernments function. Il soc ms 10 be rather
that the government Is largely taken up
with breaking up organizations, and that
reduces the industrial efficiency Of the
country"
Senator Root aroused enthusiasm b. his
closing remark that differences in the lam
guage or customs OF foreign people did
not involve inferiority, and that nowhere
on earth were there "a more noble and
admirable people among men than in Latin
America" He added that only when the
people OF the United States realized this
and entered into real friendship with these
countries would they reach z. basis where
American trade could be advanced
