ARRANGE FOR SIGNING
ARBITRATION TREATIES
Absence of British and French
Ambassadors Will Not
Interfere.

The signing OF the general arbitration
treaties which the United States Is con-
with Great Britain and France.
and which President Taft at Manassas.
Va. Friday said would be signed within
ten days. will not be delayed by the alb
sence from Washington OF the British
and French ambassadors.
President Taft yesterday afternoon an
nounced that arrangements had been
made by which Ambassador Jusseraad
would sign the French treaty at Paris,
and Ambassador Bryce will sign the
treaty with Great Britain probably at his
summer home in Maine. Secretary Knox
will sign the treaties IN Washington. ex-
changes to follow the affixng OF the
various signatures. II the signing and
exchange of the treaties can be accom-
plished before the present session OF Con-
gress adjourns, both treties will be laid
dent Taft said.
Will Save Time.
Ambassador Jusserand is In Paris at
present comforting with the French foreign
office on the details OF teh treaty, and is
keeping in touch with the Washington
government by cable regarding changes
in the draft. Officials here believe he
will be able to conclude his work In a
day or so and announce his readiness to
sign the treaty. The new arrangements
as to signatures will save considerable
time in the consummation OF the arbitra-
ton agreements.
The British ambassador, James Bryce.
is at the summer embassy headquarters
at Seal Harbor. Me. He may decide I'm
the end to come to Washington to sign
the Anglo-American treaty at the same
time Secretary Knox places his signature
on the treaty.
Guess As to Other Nations.
President Taft was unwilling to an
nounce yesterday the other three coun-
tries he expected soon to enter into SINH
lar arbitration treaties with the United
States. He did say. however. that they
all were European nations. The impress
sion in Washington is that the three
countries are Germany, Holland and
Sweden.
Nothing is known at the White House
Of the possibility of an arbitration pact
between Great Britain and France. based
on the treaties those two countries are to
sign with the United States.

TREATIES DO NOT AFFECT
OLD CLAIMS, SAYS SOLON
John Sharp Williams Discusses State Debts and Arb
tratiOn-Senate's PrerogativeS Not Surrendered

L do not believe that the United States
could or would submit to arbitration the
question Of State debts
This positive statement was made last
night by Senator John Sharp Williams,
of Mississippi. when discussing the pond-
ing arbitration treaties with France and
Great Britain. 1t was not an offhand dec
laratiOn, but was made after a careful
study of the documents. Senator Williams,
when a member OF the House, served a
long time on the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee. and has always given due atten-
ton to international affairs. Asked for
a more definite statement on the subject
of the arbitration treaties as they relate
TO the old State claims, Senator Williams
said:
L do not believe the United States
could submit State debt to arbitration.
because it is not national question, and
therefore could not become an interna-
tiOnal one. The arbitration treaties as
proposed refer in the first place to 'ques-
tiOns hereafter arising. That, 1t seems
to me, would put a quietus on the ques-
ton. Secondly, it refers to international
matters, and then, in the third place, it
says that II either country shall suggest
that a proposed question is not justicia-
ble.' it shall be referred to the joint
high commission OF inquiry three of

WANT THE WEST TO
JOIN WITH SOUTH
Colored Republicans Against
Reduction Scheme.

The fact that an effort will be made at
the meeting of the Republican National
Committee to reduce the representation
of delegates from the Southern States
has aroused the opposition of Southern
colored Republicans.
In an interview yesterday, E. A. Clarke.
chairman of the Republican interstate
league. recalled the fact that ii was the
Western votes which in the last Repub-
lican national convention prevented the
passage Of the resolution to reduce South
ern representation.
THE South and West" he said, must
combine against the East, which is solid
for the reduction scheme. The only SAL
walton for the growing, enterprising, and
progressive West is for II to adhere to
the South, so that It will be possible for
the West with the aid of the South to
nominate candidates for President and
Vice President without combining with
the Eastern States, that are the pOliti-
cal, commercial. and industrial rivals OF
the West.
Mr. Clarke has prepared a statement
that the total vote in the next national
convention will be 1.O64. including New
Mexico. of 1,072 If Arizona and New Mex
icO both are admitted He shows that If
the Western States again throw their
delegates by Congressional districts it
will prevail
He says that the reason the Republican
party is so meagerly represented in the
South is because the colored man is
dfsfranchised.
The Republican party" he says. will
regret that when it was in absolute con-
troll of the legislative. judicial. and eX-
ecutive branches of the government il
did not pass a Federal election law. Had
that been done, the South would have
long ago justified her representation in
Republican conventions on the basis Of
the States other than the South by elect
ing Republicans to Congress, instead
of Democrats, who hold their seats by
the operation of unconstitutional election
laws, with the aCquiesence of the very
States that are now seeking to throw
the Southern delegates out OF the con-
ventions of the future. 1t is as just and
equitable for the Southern States to have
their representation in Republican ma
tional conventions. based upon the num-
Der OF Representatives and Senators. as
it is for the States of lesser population
to have an equal representation in the
United States Senate with the States OF
greater population

TAFT Is PRAISED
BY OHIO. LEADER
Offsets Chairman Browns
Roosevelt Declaration.

To offset the declaration of Chairman
Brown, of the Ohio Republican central
committee, that Ohio Republicans favor
Roosevelt Chairman Lewis LayIin, of
the Ohio State executive committee. who
came TO Washington yesterday. last night
gave out the following tribute to Presi-
dent Taft:
1T is the duty of a Republican organi-
zation to hold up the hands of an honest,
patriotic Republican administration.
Party organization should, therefore,
give to President Taft's administra tion
the loyal support it so conspicuously
merits-especiaIly now.
II deem it my duty, and personally
it is my pleasure, to proclaim and ap-
plaud the successful achievements of
President Tafts administration. This is
a duty the more imperative now that
the administration has succeeded in exc
cutting the promises and bringing to a
realization the hopes of the Republican
party as expressed in the party plat
form. ! would point as an example to
what the President is doing in justi-
flying the ambitions of the party as form
ulated twenty years ago. in establishing
and enforcing the antitrust law.
When his present administration goes
into history, the trust question will be
settled, and all business will be the better
for IT, just as railroad business is al
ready the better for the successful oper-
alton of a power within the government
to control the railroads, which has been
used with impartiality in the interests
of the entire public. Business interests
and the people generally can accept the
Presidents last message TO Congress on
the Sherman law as a safe guide. For
there he clearly outlined the manner in
which honest business men may conduct
honest business without limiting their
ability or capacity, without mischief, and
without infraction of the law.
LAS long as President Taft continues
to administer the affairs of government
as admirably as he has thus far, 1 be-
lieve It to be the duty of loyal Republf-
cans to encourage him with their sup
port.
William Howard Taft is an Ohio
President, of whom our State is justly
proud. The last Republican State con-
vention unanimously pledged Ohio to
him. Whenever his name has gone be-
fore the party and the people of Ohio,
they have approved him. believe when
his name is again presented to them
that on their sober, serious, consideration
their cordial approval will again be ac-
corded him"

MARYLAND REPUBLICANS
INDORsE TAFT'S POLICIES

William p. Jackson. OF Salisbury. Md.
who is the national committeeman from
that State. announced that the Republi-
can delegates from his State would go
into the national convention solidly for
Taft, and he expressed the belief that
the personal triumph of Gov. Colds
borough in that State would do much
toward eliminating the normal Demo
cratic plurality at election time.
The Taft policies said he. have
won the confidence of the Republicans of
Maryland, and they are unanimously in
favor of a continuance of the present
regime. rather than a change of horses
in the middle of the stream
THE La Toilette organization in Balti-
more I believe, has made but little head
way. Republicans and Independents are
influenced by the Presidents determined
enforcement OF the antitrust law. With
regard to the election, State issues as
we'll as national will play an important
part. The reputation Of State Senator
German is a blow that Democracy will
not recover from in a short time

! whom would be Americans, and that un-
less that commission decides unanimously
or unless all but one of them decide that
question is justiciable. that it will not
be 50 under the treaty.
The joint high commission has no
power to do anything except upon the
request of either party to make an
impartial and conscientious investiga-
ton, and report concerning any cOntro-
versy between the parties, and even then
the language is that only If all. or all
but one of the commission agree and re-
port that such difference is within the
scope Of Article l, it shall be referred to
arbitration in accordance with the pro-
visions of this treaty
There is one other point; the objec-
tion is made to the treaty that the pre-
negatives of the Senate are surrendered
III you will read the treaty, you will see
that they are not. The objection is made
that the United States 'surrEnders its
sovereignty to, a certain extent. OF
course, 1t is true that whenever any gov
ernment makes a treaty II surrenders its
sovereignty to the extent of surrendering
the sovereign right vested in Congress
to make war concerning the question
settled by the treaty. or If IT. be treaty

AMONG THE POLITICIANS.

Senator Pomerene. Lieut.. Gov.
Nichols, and other managers of
Gov. Harmon's campaign assert
that their candidate has made
progress during the past month.
Gov. Harmon held conferences
yesterday with many Democrats.
woodrow Wilson's friends were .
also active yesterday, being led
by Harry E. Alexander, whose
newspaper in Trenton prints
pages every day about the growth
of the Wilson boom.
Ex-Chairman Harry S. New, of
Indiana. says that the Republi-
cans in his State propose to or
ganize a thorough campaign, and
he believes they can carry the
State.
Powell Clayton, of Arkansas. is
the dean of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, having served
since the days of Blaine in 1888.
Chairman Brown, of the Ohio
State Republican committee. and
who recently said that Ohio Re
publicans want Roosevelt, has
been summoned here to a confer
ence.
The Republican National Com
mittee is not likely to take any
action on the proposal to reduce
the representation from Southern
States. Defeat of the Presiden-
tial primary scheme is also pre-
diCted. Members of the commit
tee minimize the La Toilette
movement.

LONGEST IN SERVICE.
Powell Clayton Has Been Conn
mittee Member Since 1858.

Powell Clayton, Of Arkansas, who has
served as United States Senator and Am
bassador to Mexico. was given cordial
greeting by his fellow-memhers OF the
national committee. He is the veteran
member. having served without a break
since the Blaine campaign of 1884
No other member of the national or
ganizatiOn has served so long. and the
one ranking next is Senator Scott. Of
West Virginia, who came on in 1855. Gen.
Clayton seems quite as alert as in the
days of his activity for Blaine Harri-
son. and Mckinley and while he comes
from a State that does not promise cleo
tOral votes. he is much more confident
about victory next year than many
members from Republican States.
He talked things over with John G..
Capers, who represents South Carolina
and while Capers. like Clayton. cannot
promise electoral votes, he is ever active
preceding a national campaign in aiding
the selection of delegates throughout
the Southland. Capers served for time
as Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
and while now in private life indicates
no desire to separate himself from poll
tics especially when a national con-
Vention is near at hand.

ONE COUNTY CRIME FREE.
KeDtucLIy'S Smallest Subdivision
Has Unprecedented Record.

Maysville, KY, Dec. 10-Though Ken
lucky has been known for over a cen
tury as the proverbial home of crimes
there is one county out of 119 which
has made possibly the most unique rec
ord of any in the State. This county
is Robertson. Not a single prisoner is
in the county Jail and the doors of the
courthouse are festooned with cob
webse. The jailer has gone on an ex-
tended hunting trip.
For the first time in the history Of the
State, which has been known for over
n century as the Dark and Bloody Ground.
there is no grist for the mills of justice
to grind in this county, which is the
smallest in the State. Sam ThFockmor-
ton, the county attorney, has to HE him

London. Dec. 1O.-Gcrmany is in the
tlrocs Of a scare as the result Of the trial
of Max Shultz, at Leipzig, on the charge
of obtaining information about German
land and naval armamtnts for England.
Dispatches to-day from Berlin state that
the German press is aroused to a high
pitch over the trial and intimates that
great sums of English gold are being
used in Germany to secure secret in
formation.
A dispatch to the Daily Express states
that Germany is determined to establish
permanent garrison of l2,OO0 troops at
Rarelto and to create naval base at
Emden, on the North Sea.
