Is Opened by President
Taft at Erie, Penn.
Senate Should Confirm Men,
beers Of joint Commission
Which Would Remove Present OBJ
jeciions to Such a Body.

Erie, Pa, Sept. 17.--President Taft
ended The first of his 46 days of
speech-making with an address to
big throng in the Auditorium here
Saturday night. Before reaching here
he spent nine hours in Syracuse, n.
y and had made three speeches there
The President said he had determined
that his average during this trip to
the far West would be Az speeches a
day, so he did not start ont at top
speed.
Mr.. Taft reserved his most import
ant utterance Of the day for the
speech here. when he outlined plan
by which he hopes 10 wipe ont objee-
lions in the United States Senate to
the recently negotiated treaties of ar
bitration with Great Britain and
France. These treaties have been
held up ana threatened with defeat
largely beause number of senators
have contended that the proposed joint
high commission which would deter
mine whether or not a question should
he sent to arbitration practically rob
bed the Senate of it's function al pass
ing upon the question.
The President suggested as a com
promise that the American members
of such a joint commission should be
confirmed by the Senate. He said he
saw no reason why they should not be,
if Congress or the Senate thought it
dangerous to trust the President only
to make appointments. Mr.. Taft indi-
Gated that he would go further than
this and be willing to wipe out the
joint high commission entirely, if need
be- and leave the decision as to wheth-
CT question was arbitrable or not to
the decision of the board of arbitra-
ton. Still further, he would be Will
ing to have this board pass not only
upon the merits of the question: but
also upon the jurisdiction.
Either we are in favor of arbitra
ton of issues which are likely to lead
to war or we are not" exclaimed the
President. IF we are in favor of war
as the only means of settling ques-
lions of importance between countries,
then let us recognize it as a principle,
and decline all arbitration: but il we
are really in favor of arbitration as a
means of avoiding War, then why
should we not be willing to submit to
impartial men the decision upon a
question rather than TO leave 1t to the
result Of a bloody battle in which,
with a fair cause, we may be beaten,
or with an unjust cause We may con-
qer?"

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Nav s.
Arguments designed to prove letters

claims began before the board which

of the Interior Fisher, to whom final
appeal may be made, sat with the
board.
Speaking for the claimants, Z. c.

ney heard, attempted to prove there
had been no thought Of combina-
ton among the entrymen prior to the
their rights to the claims had been
acknowledged by the government s
acceptance of the purchase price for
the lands. In defending the com
bination Hughes said it was under

SOCIALIST MAYOR Of
BUTTE IS A CRANK
Instead of Welcoming C. A. r.
Insults Them by Vitriolic At
tack on Abraham Lincoln

BUTTE, Mont. May 6.-Socialist
Mayor Lewis j. Duncan, invited by
the Spanish War Veterans to extend
| the welcome of the city to the G. A..
f. at smoker, instead launched
forth in a sensational vitriolic attack
upon Abraham Lincoln in a manner
| that caused the old soldiers to gasp in
astonishme ana every one upon the
platform with Mr.. Duncan to leave
without taking the trouble to offer an
imaginary key of the city to the Wis
ttors upon the occasion Of their state
encampment.
Mr.. Duncan began an argum emit for
socialism, which he urged all the old
soldiers to embrace. For patriotism
Mr.. Duncan told the veterans that So
cialists had them beat and had eff
fected more good. Continuing, Mr..
Duncan, in the course of an analysis
of the cause of the civil war, declared
that Abe Lincoln was the dupe of the
capitalistic class and that the men in
blue and in gray had faced each
other on bloody battlefeds because
the capitalists had sent them there.
The same, he declared, was true Of

who wore the uniform of their coun-
try believed, he said, they were fight
ing for the flag, when, as a matter of
fact, they were not.
A score of other utterances in SIM
liar vein was too much for the vet
Grams, and the meeting broke up in |
disorder, indignation being expressed
in remarks hurled at the socialist |
mayor.
Two years ago the local post Of the
G. A. r. withdrew it's invitation to
Mr.. Duncan to make a Memorial day |
address because the latter. then a |
Unitarian minister, had rendered the |
use of his church to Emma Goldman,
the anarchist, after the city officials
had refused her the Auditorium
