Gives His Endorsement to the
Aldrich Monetary Plan.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Appeals for
the immediate reform of the country's
banking and currency system and
scientific tariff legislation, based upon
entirely new reasons-the practical
experiences of the customs service
standout prominently in the annual
report of Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh. submitted to congress to-
| day This statement of the nation S
finances bristles with urgent sugges-
tons for corrective financial laws en-
acted in the light of the lamp of ex-
/ perience.''
The secretary of the treasury fore
sees, according to the estimate of ex-
perts, a surplus in the treasury at the
end of the fiscal year of 1913 of about
5000, 900, exclusive of expenditures
on the Panama canal Including the
estimated canal disbursements, how
ever, the treasury will face deficit
of approximately S1S,000,00O.
The total estimates of expenditures
for next year, exclusive of the Pana-
ma canal and the postal service, pay
BILE from postal revenue, are S637-
920.S03. The estimates of receipts
availa bic for the general fund are
$667 100000. The estimates for the
construction of the Panama canal
during the next year are $47, ,263, $50,
making grand total of estimated ex-
penditures of $6S5,184,563.
Financial Revision.
With all the preIiminaries for re-
vising the financial system accom-
plished. Mr.. MacVeagh declares there
is no reason to postpone action.
The tentative plan of the national
monetary commission, outlined by its
chairman. former Senator Aldrich, he
says Sa tiStieS in its essentials the larger
part of the expert opinion of the ma
ton and is supported by the business
men. The secretary pledges the ad-
ninistration to do its part in keeping
this financial issue wholly non-parti-
san, believing that the result should be
the product of both parties.
IN the contemplated re-orga nization
Of the financial structure, Mr. Mac
Veagh emphasizes the absolute need
of prohibiting all banks. national and
state, from holding stock in other
banks. as a safeguard against any pos
sible formation of much feared
money trust in the future. He urges
equality of national and state banks in
doing trust company and saving bank
business.
I'VE must provide. and without res
ervation,'' he declares, for a perfect
equality of privilege and opportunity
between national and state banks. State
banks must have every s-dvantage ma
must have every advantage state banks
have. And this equality can not be at
tanned unless national and state banks
are on the same footing as to trust COM
pany banking and as to savings bank
functions
To a congress which is expected to
remodel some of the tariff schedules, Mr.
MacVeagh urges from the standpoint
of experience the establishment of spec
ific duties, instead of ad vaIorem,
wherever tire nature of the article in
volved makes that possible

Darkness Prevents Engineer
From Seeing Signal Lights.
TWELVE KNOWN DEAD
Wife of Superintendent Among
the Victims.
Brakeman Failed to Go Back
With Signals.

Odessa. Mimi. Dec. 1s.-Twelve
persons were killed in a wreck on the
/ Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
railroad here TO-DAY and ten or more
were seriously injured when the sec
! ond section of train No. is, the Col
umbian from Seattle crashed into the
first section which had been stopped
on signal.
The accident occurred a short dis
tance from the signal tower here The
section had been stopped by the tower
man because OF a freight train in the
block ahead. The second section,
which closely followed the first was
what is known as a silk" train carry
ing merchandise
The railway officials attribute the
accident to the failure of the opera
tor to set the signals against the second
section. They also believe the brake
man of the first section failed to run
back to flag the second section:
Because of the darkness. the en-
gineer of the second section did not
see the rear lights of the train in front
in time to avert collision.
The rear car of the first section was
telescoped and the car next to IT was
badly shattered. The twelve dead were
occupants of the last car, as were most
of the injured. The wreck tore down
the telegraph wires and there was
some delay in getting word of the dis
aster to the headquarters of the road
The seriously injured were taken to
work was done by those on board the
train in assisting the wounded and
aiding those not injured to escape from
the wrecked cars.
Among the dead are Mrs. J. NJ.

HIS TREATY MESSAGE.
Text OF President Taft's CoInmuni-
cation to Congress.

Washington, Dec. 1s.-The presi-
dent in his message to the Russian
treaty said:
by instructions which I caused the
secretary of state to transmit to the
American ambassador at St. Peters
burg on the fifteenth day of Decem-
Der, 1911. there was given the imper-
ial Russian government under date Of
the seventeenth day of December,
1911, official notification on behalf of
this government of intention to ter
inmate the treaty of commerce and
navigation of December IS, 1892. be-
tween the United States and Russia on
the expiration of the year commenc-
ing on the first of January, 1912, the
notification contem plated by Article
II of the existing treaty having been
embodied n 1.-THE following note ad-
dressed by the ambassador to the
minister for foreign affairs.
g Under instructions from my gov
ernment and in pursuance of the con-
VersationS held by the secretary of
state with the Russian am bassador at
Washington, have now the honor to
give to the imperial Russian govern
ment on behalf of the United States
the official notification contemplate
by article IL of the treaty of 1882,
whereby the operation of the said
treaty vii Terminate in accordance
with its terms on January 1, 1913.
. Your excellency will recall that
puer parlers betw cen the two govern
ments in the last three years have fully
recognized the fact that this ancient
treaty, as is quite natural. is no longer
fully responsive in various respects to
the needs of the political and material
rela tions of the two countries, which
grow constantly more important. The
treaty also has given rise, from time to
time, to certain controversies equally
regretted by both governments.
8 In conveying the present formal
notification to your excellency, am
instructed to express the desire of my
government meanwhile, to renew the
friendship, commerce and navigation
on a basis more perfectly responsive to
the interests of both governments.
am directed by the president at the
same time to emphasize the great
value attached by the government of
the United States to the historic rela-
tions between the two countries and
the desire of my government to spare
no effort to make the outcome of the
proposed negotiations contribute still
further to the strength and cordiality
of these relations
. I avail myself of this occasion to
offer to your excellency the renewe'
assurance of my highest considera-
ton.
Il now communite this action to the
senate as a part of the treaty making
power of this government with view
to its ratification and approval.

under the rules of the senate it went

! Senator Hepburn spoke at length on
his motion and seemed to criticise
members who had publicly expressed
their opinion. Il did not vote in the
newspapers yesterday" he said I
don't think the senate should dispose
of a matter of such magnitude in an
off-hand manner.
1T looks too much like the steam
roller process to bring into the senate
/ a resolution and message and ask
/ immediate consideration. The Rus
sian government is a different govern
mem than it was when that treaty was
made
whether or not at a moments no
tice we should deal with the question
as we would with the payment of mile

much like sentiment instead of judg-

The senate will meet tomorrow at
noon instead of ? p. m. as usual to
take up the further consideration of
the matter. Under the rules of the
senate an objection by a single sena7
