JUSTICES PAY is TOO SMALL.
Harlan Quoted as Saying He Can't
Repay $1,0oo-StlI Owes Amount,
Borrowed When Married.

Washington.-Just Harlan Of the
United States Supreme court has not
been able to save enough out of his
salary to pay back $1,000 which he Dor.
rowed at the time Of his marriage.
This statement was made to the ap-
preparations committee of the house
during its hearing on the sundry civil
bill by Albert Rosenthal, a Philadel-
phia artist.
Mr.. Rosenthal has partially COM
pleted a collection of paintings Of
former members Of the Supreme
bench and has offered the collection

asked by member of the committee
if he had made any paintings at the
personal solicitation of the justices.
81 have not beer paid by any Of
them" said Mr.. Rosenthal. "They all
told me they were too poor to buy
them. Justice Harlan said: I would
like to have that portrait ! borrowed
$1,000 when I was married, and every
year since when fix up my accounts
for the year | find / still owe that
$1,000. They are all too poor to buy
them. Justice. McKenna wanted to

PACT UP TO SENATE
COMMITTEE REPORT McALL BILL
WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION.
No Amendments Adopted-Measure Is
Submitted In Exact Form as
Passed by House.

Washington.-The senate finance
committee ordered the Mccall bill to
carry out the Canadian reciprocity
agreement reported to the senate with
out recommendation. The vote
against a recommendation was I
to 9.
Seemingly authentic information has
1t that Senator Aldrich will arrive In
Washington Monday to help secure
sanction for reciprocity. The sena-
tors who stand opposed say that II
Mr.. Aldrich is coming he is coming
too late. The friends OF the measure
express hope that the Aldrich help
will avail to secure vote.
The action of the finance commit
tee in ordering the Mccall bill re-
ported without recommendation came
after two votes had been taken on
propositions to make recommends
tions on the bill and each had failed
by margin of one. There was only
one course open to the committee if
the pledge to President Taft not to
smother the bill was to be kept. That
was to return the bill to the senate
without advice, and this motion was
at once submitted by Acting Chair
man Burrows. 1t carried unan-
imously.
No amendments to the bill were
adopted, and it will come up on the
floor Of the senate, therefore, in the
exact form in which 1t was passed
by the house.

ROADS PLEA.
COMMERCE COMMISSION UNANI-
MoUsLY DECIDE AGAINST
INCREASE IN RATES.
ADVANCE is NOT NECESSARY
Decision Shows Carriers TO Be Pros
perous-Do Not Need Larger Rev
enue to Maintain Their Credit or
Insure Against Adversely.

Washington.-The interstate COM
merce commission In a decision hand
ed down Thursday rules against the
railroads in both the eastern and the
western rate cases.
The railroads are prohibited from
advancing first-class rates and they
are ordered to reduce second-class
rates.
The commission shows that at the
moment when the railroads were ar
guing their justification for a raise
they were eminently prosperous. The
decisions were by unanimous vote OF
the commission.
The report, written by Commission
er Franklin X. Lane, Is an elaborate,
optimistic review Of the American
railway situation.
Despite what the railroad reports
say of the considerable increase in
wages and the increase In the cost OF
fuel, the last six months of the year
1910, in which the new wage sched-
ules were In effect, the report shows
for the carriers the largest operating
income they have ever enjoyed.
The report opens with a considera-
ton of the effect railroad rate regula-
ton has had upon the revenues of the
carriers, in which 1t is shown that, by
reason of the law and Its enforcement,
the railroads have been protected
against each other. AS a result the
revenues of the carriers have in
creased under regulation and their
dividends and their surplus have also
increased as in no other period Of
their history In the past ten years
the railroads of the United States
haNN borrowed over four and one-half
billion dollars, or twice the amount
of the national debt at the close of the
Civil war.
THIS is evidence of the faith the
pubic has in these properties. The
rate of dividends and the total amount
has increased more rapidly than the
additional mileage built The west
ern roads have increased their sur
plus over 100 per cent. in ten years.
Comment is made upon the fact
that the railroads are now seeking to
increase rates which were voluntarily
made by them under competitive con-
ditions and which they admit could
not be increased under such condi-
tions. The carriers are seeking to
gain the benefits Of protective legis-
lation and at the same time asking
for a free hand and criticizing the
law for the restraints which it casts
upon them. 1t is found that the car
riers do not need larger revenue for
purposes of maintaining their credit
or insuring them against temporary
adversely.
The report closes with these words:
I'VE shall ask the carriers to with
draw the proposed tariffs and, If such
action is not TAKEN the commission
will further suspend these rates and
make an order directing the mainte-
nance of present rates for period Of
two years"

Uncle Joe's Check.

Col. Henry Carson, sergeant-at-arms
Of the house of representatives, has
the original check given by Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon a few years ago to
a book agent, and about which an in
teresting story has been told.
An agent visited the speaker and In
terested him in an elaborate edition OF
something which Uncle Joe didn't
want, but bought. When the books
arrived Uncle Joe examined them and
decided at once that something had
been put over on him. When the agent
came for his money the speaker de-
termined to make him indorse terse
sentiment on books, SO he wrote out q
check for $73, the amount due, and on
the back Of 1t he inscribed:
PAY to the order of Mr.. Blank, in
full payment for an edition which was
not worth a d, and dear at that
price, but for the ease and grace with
which he put it over your Uncle Joe
it was we'll worth the money"-Hu-

RATIFY JAP TREATY
SENATE AFTER TWo-HoUR CON-
SHERATON VOTE TO CON-
FIRM NEW CONVENTION.
UCHIDA MAKES A STATEMENT
Japanese Ambassador Gives Written
Assurance That His Government
viii Maintain Present Regulations
Regarding Emigration Of Coolies.

Washington.--The new Japan treaty
was ratified Friday by the senate on
the understanding that Japan will not
impose coolies on the United States.
The objection to the convention has
consistently been that 1t did not throw
sufficient safeguards around the immi.
grafton of japanese to the United
States. Opposition was made to 1t
by the people of California, and by
their state legislature and by the peo-
pie of the Pacific states generally.
President Taft personally pushed
the ratification of the treaty by his
assurances to the governor of Cali
fornia that the question of immigra-
ton was effectively covered by the
Japanese declaration, which appears
above and which has been declared
the treaty's efficiency and suf-
flciency.
The treaty was taken up for the
third time in tbc senate and after two
hours discussion was ratified.
The western senators who had con-
tinuously opposed the treaty, reluct-
antly voted for it, 1t is understood,
while not surrendeTing any of their
opinions that - grave consequences
might ensue from this peculiar docu-
ment.
The sole basis for the belief that
immigration is safeguarded is the fol-
lowing personal statement for his gov
ernment Of Baron Uchida.
IN proceeding this day to the sig
nature of the treaty of commerce and
navigation between Japan and the
United States, the undersigned Japan
ese ambassador in Washington duly
authorized by his government, has
the honor to declare that the Imperial
Japanese government are fully pre-
pared to maintain with equal effec-
tiveness the limitation and control
which they have for the past three
years exercised in regulation Of the
emigration of iaborcrs to the United
States.
(Signed) "Y. UCHIDA."
This was deemed sufficient certain
ty by the president and the state de-
partment and the president was ac-
tive in his efforts to impress the Cali
fornia legislature with his view Of
the treaty's efficiency and sufficiency.
Although the text of the treaty has
been published the injunction Of Ge-
crecy has not been removed and so
far as the senate is considered it con-
tinues as a confidential document.

Against Treaty.

Washington.-The Democrats OF the
house are prepared to go TO work at
once on the revision OF several
schedules of the Payne-Aldrich tarih
act should an extra session be called
following the present session OF con-
gress.
An authoritative statement to this
effect was given out Tuesday by Rep
resentative Underwood OF Alabama,
who has been selected as chairman OF
the new committee on ways and
means. It was made to correct an
erroneous report which has gained cir
cluation in the last few days. Mr.. Un-
derWood said:
"The statement that IL an extra ses-
sion is called the Democrats in the
house will not begin the work of revis7
ing the tariff Is absolutely unfounded.
The DemocratN are pledged to revise
the tariff and If we go into an extra
session the house uhluestionably will
pass some tariff bills, revising some OF
the schedules of the Payne act down
ward, before it adiourns."
Farmers registered protests against
Canadian reciprocity at the hearing be-
before the senate committee on
finance. Former Governor N. ]. Bach
