tration Agreements in Forms
Submitted.

Washington.-The senate has adopted
the rather unusual but not unprece-
denied course of making public the
text of four treaties that have not yet
received action at its hands These
were the Anglo American and the
Franco-American general arbitration
treaties and the treaties providing for
the adjustment of the finances and Gus
toms of Honduras and Nicaragua.
Publicity was given to these impor-
tant conventions at the request of the
administration, which desires that the
subject matter shall receive the fullest
consideration by the press and the peo-
pie in order to enlighten the senate as
to the real sentiment of the country
Two senators of opposite parties, SEN
ator Borah of Idaho and Senator
Bacon of Georgia, voiced their dissent
to the conclusion of the arbitration
treaties in the forms submitted. Their
criticism was aimed at article three,
identical in the two treaties, which, in
their opinion, provides for compulsory
arbitration, and thus tends to deprive
the senate of its constitutional pre-
rogative.
The treaty advocates, however, felt
that there has been a misunderstanding
of the scope of the treaty by the two
senators named, and that clause in
article one of the treaty, which pro-
vides that there shall be no arbitra-
ton except under the terms of spe-
cial agreement, effectively guards the
rights of the senate, as such special
agreement shall receive the senate s
sanction in order to become operative.
In view of their Importance it is
estimated that motion may be made
to ratify the treaties in the open SEN
ate, an almost unprecedented procedure.

COUNT TOGO AT
WASHINGTON'S TOMB
Japanese Admiral Reverently Places
Roses in Nation s Mausoleum.

ngton.-Reverently and with a
brief invocation in Japanese, Admiral
Count Togo placed a wreath of roses
on the tomb of Washington at Mount
Vernon, Sunday. A group of dozen,
among whom were the Japanese ambas-
sador, Acting Secretary of the Navy
Winthrop, five American rear admirals,
and Chandler Hale, third assistant sec
rotary of state, watched the diminutive
oriental enter the mausoleum and stand
silently at salute. He spoke softly, but
audibly, for moment, and then set
down the wreath.

TESTIFIES BEFORE congress
Committee ON u. S. STEEL
INVESTIGATION.
Voluntary Testimony Unprecedented
SAYS Move Saved Panic-Colonel As
serts Blame for Approaching Absorb
ton May Be Laid to Him-Confer
ence Is Held.

New York.-Theodore Roosevelt
talked boldly before the house of rep
resentatives committee of inquiry into
the United States Steel corporation
here, and voluntarily told how his
action in consenting to the absorption
of the Tennessee Coal & Iron company
by the steel corporation in 1907 averted
disastrous panic.
The former president s action in sub
hitting to a congressional review of
his own administration was almost un-
precedented in the history of the
United States, and was thoroughly
Rooseveltian. He arrived unheralded
at the city hall, vigorously shook hands
with members of the committee, de-
clared himself delighted to see every
body, and got down to business.
First he placed upon himself respon-
sibility for approving the absorption to
avert financial distress in Wall street
and condemned any man who would be
so weak as not to act as he did in that
crisis. Not to have done SO, he said,
would have been criminal.
Appears at Crisis of Probe.
Probably nothing in the vigorous life
history of Theodore Roosevelt was more
dramatic than his public appearance
at the crisis of the investigation of the
transaction which has been recorded
in hundreds of pages of congressional
inquiry.
The chapter he contributed not only
dealt with his part in the events of
that threatening time, but he gave the
committee some interesting opinions
that loomed up in their import even
more than his recital of facts in the
Tennessee Coal & Iron transaction.
Says Situation Was Critical.
After declaring that his object IN APP
proving the sale of the Tennessee COM
pany was to restore confidence, the for
mer president, in response to inquiries
by Representative Littleton relating to
the case as presented to him by Judge
Gary and ii. G. Frick at the White
House conference in November, 1907,
said:
"The situation was so critical that
1T was liable to break at any moment
until the action was taken, and the in.
slant it was taken an enormous i'm
provement occurred, and, as said in the
poem of Mr. Emerson, with which you
are all so well acquainted:
- If the red slayer thinks he Stays
Or if the slain thinks he is slain, it
matters not'.'
Then Mr.. Roosevelt launched into
discussion with Chairman Stanley of
the general trust question, saying the
United States had something to learn
from Germany.

Washington, April 10-Although
President Taft might be unwilling to
disapprove the constitution Of Arizona
on account Of its provision for the re-
call of judges, he is seeking to find a
way by which that provision may be
stricken out by the people of Arizona
themselves The President looks with
disfavor on the proposition for the re-
call of judges He has. however. con-
suited freely with Attorney General
Wickersham and other members of his
cabinet and has concluded that IT
might be unNise for him to disapprove
the Arizona constitution on account OF
one clause.
To Chairman Flood of the House COM
mittee on territories and Rep. Houston
of Tennessee the President outlined a
scheme today to solve the problem.
Tie Presidents proposal was that the
constitution pending before Congress
be adopted and that later the people of
Arizona, under the constitutional pow
err. propose an amendment to the con-
stitution permitting the recall to APP
ply to all officers now mentioned, ex-
cept judges. AS the President under
stands it now the people of Arizona, no
matter how they felt upon the recall Of
the judiciary, did not care to vote
against the constitution as a whole an6
thus endanger their prospects of state
hood. If there is a sentiment against
the recall of Judges in Arizona sub
mission of the question to the voters
would reveal 1t.
Representative Flood offered coun-
ter proposal. He showed the President
a proposed amendment to the enabling
act providing for the admission OF
Arizona, which would obviate the ne
cessity of Executive approval OF Ari-
zona's constitution and make Congress
alone pass upon it. The President
would prefer, it was said tonight. to
allow the enabling act to stand and
might. however, accept Mr.. Floods
suggestion.
