A,drieb,s Queer Accidents.

United States Senator Aldrich OF
Rhode Island seems determined to
meet his fate under the tires of an
automobile or the wheels of a street
car. Early last fall Senator Aldr1ch
was run down by a street car, and
his hand severely hurt SO that in the
tumble under the street car some OF
the tendons of his right hand were
pretty badly strained and slight op-
Grafton seems to be necessary to re-
1ieve that strain. Senator Aldrich was
starting from his home at Warwick
Neck to catch train for New York
TO have the operation on his hand
performed. When about half way to
ibe railroad station his automobile
skidded across the road and chugged
into a ditch The machine was
wrecked, and the senator pretty bad
ly shaken up, but he continued on
his way to New York.

Not Germ Crazy.

The people of Washington are not as
crazy on the germ theory as some peo-
pie might suppose. Some time ago the
treasury department concluded that it
would have individual cups for the
employees to drink out Of Waxed pa
per cups were placed in long glass
tubes, and the tubes placed beside
every ice-water tank in the building.
1t was a penny-in-the-slot business,
and if you wanted drink of water
you put your penny in and the paper
cup dropped out. 1t may or may not
have been sanitary. OF course, 1t was
expected that it would be sanitary,
but after these paper cups had been
handled three or four times oxer to get
them into the glass tubes it must be
that there are more or less microbes
sticking on these paper cups. Any
how, the cups are all right there. and
none of the treasury clerks have lost
any pennies up to the present time.

TREATY WITH
JAPAN RESISTED
EFFORT TO CROWD QUESTION
THROUGH SENATE
FAILS.
HALE MAKES FIGHT
SAYS TREATY REPRESENTS VOL
UNTARY SURRENDER OF CON-
MERcIAL ADVANTAGE.

Washngton.-An effort was made
to crowd through the Senate Thursday
the new treaty with Japan on com
merce and navigation, but it met with
resistance from an unexpected quarter.
Senator Hale said the treaty repre-
sented a voluntary surrender of
commercial advantage which this coun-
try would enjoy for another year over
the nations of Europe with whom
Japan is negotiating new commercial
relations.
Senator Lodge. who reported the
treaty from the Senate committee on
foreign relations, which agreed to re-
port it after it's provisions had been eX-
planned by Secretary of State Knox,
was unable to satisfy the objectors.
Considerable feeling was exhibited
by Mr.. Lodge in answering the Maine
senator's criticisms. 1t had been eX-
pected there might be some opposition
from Pacific coast senators because of
the elimination from the new treaty OF
all reference to immigration of labor
ers as covered by the existing treaty
of 1894,
The Western senators offered no ar
guments against ratification beyond
demanding time in which to obtain an
understanding of its provisions.
An executive session of the Senate
was convened shortly after five o'clock
to consider the new treaty. Several
senators were curious to know why
there was such haste to have the
treaty ratified.
Senator Lodge said the administra-
ton desired prompt ratification as an
additional proof of the cordiality of
this government toward Japan.
The treaty might have slipped
through had it not been for Mr. Hale.
Mr.. Lodge had made a speech declar-
ing there was no danger of objection
able immigration under the treaty, be-
cause that question would be taken
care of by laws and police regulations,
and fer the additional reason that
Japan, through diplomatic channels,
had assured the government of her
intention to exercise the most rigid
control of passports.
AT this point Mr.. Hale interposed OBJ
lection to ratification.
No fault was expressed by the Maine
senator with the immigration feature,
but he charged it involved reciprocity
with Japan as Objectionable to ortho-
dox protectionists as that contem-
plated in the reciprocity agreement
with Canada.
The United States will secure the
perpetuation of the passport arrange
ment of 1907 through diplomatic
notes, and feels able, therefore, to dis
pense with that stipulation in the
treaty af 1894 regarding immigration
which expressed a potential right that
never was exercised. This stipulation,
it was pointed out, will not impair the
inherent and sovereign rights of the
United States to legislate on the sub
ject of immigration, should it so de-
sire.

Washington-Herbe Knox Smith,
commissioners of corporations, sweeps
aside the reasons advanced by Off
GERS of the United States Steel cor
poration for it's creation and holds
that it was called into being primarily
for the purpose OF restricting or pre-.
venting competition.
In his long g-heralded report on the
so-called steel trust, just made pub
lie, the Commissioner charges further
that the opportunity for reaping a
huge promoters profit was another
consideration that led 10 the launch
ing OF the giant corporation.
Commissioner Smith finds after an
investigation that has extended over
several years that the Steel corpora
ton when it was organized in 1901
was heavily overcapitalized."
The entire issue Of $59S, 600, 600 OF
the common stock, the commissioner
declares, had no physical property
back of it and from one-fifth to to
fifths of preferred stock was likewise
unprotected by tangible assets.
Even granting" says the commits
sioner, that there may have been a
considerable value in the intangible
considerations It is reasonably clear
that at least the entire issue Of com
mon stock, except in so far as what
may be termed merger value may be
considered, represented nothing but
water
The excess of capitalization over in
vestment at the end of last year, as
figured by Commissioner Smith was
1881 ,05l ,222, as compared with $780,
846,S17 Of water" in 1901.
The report is unsparing in its con-
demnation of the commission paid TO
the syndicate which underworld the

CASHIER TELLS OF
STEALING $4,000
Writes from Hiding Place to Bank
Confessing Crime-lnstitu-
ton Solvent.

Utica, n. "a letter mailed in this
city and received next day by officials
of the First National bank Of Earl
Vile, a village a few miles south of
Utica, informed them that the bank
had been robbed of $4,000. The let
ter was from Guy II. Clark, forty
years Old cashier of the bank who
was supposed to be visiting an invalid
daughter at Saranac Lake.
Word was sent to Saranac Lake
and it was learned there from Clarks
daughter that he had not been there
1t was not until late in the after
noon that the bank made public the
announcement that it's cashier had
gone wrong. Immediately after re-
Ceiving the letter the officials sent for
a bank examiner. A. l.. Fowler came
In response to the summCLr> and after
several hours work verified the state

the amount Of the shortage. The an

Higley, cashier of the Chenango Ma
tional Bank Of Norwich hurried to
Earlville with sufficient funds to meet
any emergency.
Clark was one Of the most respect
ed residents OF the town. His father
John A. Clark, who died two years
ago, was president of the Sidney
bank and the family has been promi-
nent i'm the Chenango valley for many
years.
Clarks letter contained a state
ment showing just how he stood with
the bank and just what funds were
missing His conscience was trou-
bling him and he said he wanted to
make what restitution he could He
was a heavy stakeholder in the bank
and the letter contained a formal
transfer OF all his holdings to the in
stitution. He also transferred his
real estate in Earlville and a consid-
erable amount Of personal property.
The officials said that no figures
could be given out until an appraisal
had been made, but they expressed
the belief that with Clark's stock in
the bank, together with all his other
transfers, the loss would be compare

The tone Of the letter has led his
former associates TO believe that
Clark has gone to some isOlatesl DlaCa
