ACTION Is URGED
IN BEHALF OF JEWS
Parsons Demands Russian
Treaty Be Abrogated.

Representative Parsons, of New York.
yesterday appeared before the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs to urge &C
ton on his resolution providing for the
abrogation of the treaty negotiated with
Russia in 1882 on the ground that that
government discriminates against Ameri-
can citizens of the Jewish faith. This
question was discussed at a White
House conference Wednesday, prominent
Hebrews making an argument favorable
to the course contemplated by the Par
sons resolution.
In concluding treaties of amity and
good will with foreign nations, Mr.. Par
sons pointed out to the House Commit
tee, the United States seeks to protect
citizens of all classes, regardless of
faith or race. American Jews, he ar
gued. were denied the right that was
given them by the treaty of 1882. ito
reside in Russia to attend to their own
affairs
Louis Marshall, of New York. who
also appeared in support of the Parsons
resolution, insisted that the treaty in
question should be vacated by the United
States on the ground that Russia has
disregarded its obligations by refusing
to honor passports issued by the State
Department to American Jews.

referred to him as "self-exaggerated,
self-opinionated, puffed-up. near-hero."
Peary's story, he insisted, was wholly
unbelievable and unsupported by scien-
tine proof. Cook was as much entitled
to belief, Mr.. Macon said, as Peary.
Mr.. Macon paid his compliments to The
Peary Club and the National Geographic
Society. Speaking of ''The North Pole, -
a book written by Peary, Mr.. Macon said
II was tale of unbelievable exaggera-
tion -
The material for it, he continued,

cry of the north pole before examining

the government with great regularity"
MIR. Macon said that, in his opinion,
neither Peary nor Cook reached the pole.
Mr.. Macon spoke for an hour and forty
minutes.
Mr.. Moore. in replying, paid a high trib-
ute to Capt. Peary, saying that the at
tainment of the pole had come at the end
of years of LABOR and hardships.
Representative Saunders, of Virginia,
spoke in support of the claims of Peary.
He stated It as his opinion that there
was nothing to uphold Mr.. Macon s

CARRIERS WILL GET
SUNDAY OFF SOON
Idea Meets with Favor of
Postal Officials.

Sunday of for the letter carriers Is
but a question OF days now. Post-ofice
officials favor the idea, and scores OF let
ters sent to Postmaster Merritt by busi-
ness men approve Of the proposal to
give the carriers Sunday to themselves.
Bishop Harding. of the Episcopal do
cese of Washington, said yesterday that
it was a movement to be commended by
every one in the city. and said he hoped
that the plan would be successfully car
ried out The Retail Merchants Associa-
ton. as a body. unanimously indorsed the
plan, as have several citizens associa-
tiOns and other -societies.
DR.. Charles P. Grandfield, First Assist
ant Postmaster General, at a hearing
before the House Committee on Post
Office and Post Roads, recently said that
he believed the delivery of mail should
be restricted to special delivery Sunday,
except in rare instances where the pat
ron expected important personal mail. In
such cases he should be required to show
the postmaster the necessity for getting
the mail.
II is nearly always necessary for some
of the clerks to remain on duty at the
poSt-office and handle the transit mail
The clerks on duty Sunday could get the
letter and save the trouble OF getting
the carriers.
In the course Of the hearing, Repre-
sentative Lloyd said: IF a man wants
his mail on Sunday, let him pay 10 cents
extra and have 1t delivered at his house
by special delivery"

to point out the property purchase items
wherein they assert the assessments on a
two-thirds valuation and the price the
Commissioners assert should be paid do
not agree. 1t is rumored, however, that
their allegations have to do with what
are known as the Carpenter, Pennsyl-
vania avenue, and the Klngle Ford VAL
ley tracts. In regard to the former. the
Senate added an amendment to the Dis
trict bill providing for the purchase of
1H acres as an addition to the park sys-
tenn of the District for $4,000.
The Klingle Ford Valley tract contains
thirty acres. The Senate proposes that
the District shall buy it for $500, 900, il pos
sible, and add it to Rock Creek Park.
Searching for Figures.
1t has been known for some time that
Representative Bennet was on still hunt
Tor figures to substantiate his charges
made formally in the House that the
taxes of the rich people Of the District
were being lessened by the failure of the
assessors to place a full two-thirds valu-
alton on their property, and that the
taxes of the poor were being held to and
above the limit by reason of a close
assessment.
If he has discovered something Of a
suspicious nature in the proposed pur-
chase of the park tracts he may be eX-
pected to spring it in the House as soon
as the District bill again is taken in
hand. According TO assertions made yes
terday by members of the band which
is ready to grapple with the measure, the
figures are at hand, and they assert that
they propose to offer them in the House.

POPULAR ELECTION
URGED BY BORAH
Makes Final Appealand Wins
Southern Sympathy.

In making his final appeal to the SEN
amendment to the Constitution providing
for popular election of Senators Senator
William e. Borah. of Idaho, made a re-
markable speech, in which he dwelt not
only with the constitutional phases of
the question, but discussed the negro
problem In way that pleased Southern
Democratic Senators.
So attractive was the statement of the
race problem as it was set forth by the
Senator from Idaho that Southern SEN
ators, who have been disturbed over the
proposed Sutherland and Depew amend
ments, which would retain Federal con-
troll over popular elections Of Senators,
that they laid aside their notes and COL
lections of law books and announced to
their colleagues that Senator Borah had
left nothing desirable to be said, and that
they were ready for a vote.
The opponents OF the resolution were
not in such a state Of preparedness to
take the sense of the Senate on the reso-
ton. Senators Carter, OF Montana; Mel
son. of Minnesota, and Sutherland, Of
Utah, let il be known that they desired
to make speeches, and II was finally
agreed that the consideration of the reso-
luton should be suspended and resumed
to-day; Immediately after the routine
morning business.
Some Of the Southern Senators admit
ted after the Senate adjourned that if
the vote had been taken before adjourn
ment yesterday, the chances of passing
the reSolution-even with the Sutherland
amendment added-would have been about
even. Senators who are opposed to the
resolution explained that they had asked
that the matter go over because several
Of their number were missing. and they
feared that it might not be possible to ar
range pairs for them.

MACON IN .DIATRIBE
AS HE SCORES PEARY
Bitter Debate in House Last Nieht-Editors Come
in for Toneue-lashing by Arkansan

A bitter debate was provoked in the
House of Representatives. last night when
Representative J. Hampton Moore, of
Pennsylvania. arose to reply to speech
made by Representative Robert B.
Macon, of Arkansas, in denunciation of
Commander Peary, of Arctic fame. Mr..
Macon characterized Commander Peary
as .an adventurer," fur trader and
declared he was unworthy of belief.
The Arkansas member also took occa-
sion to jump on ->ew York newspaper
editors who have criticised his course in
the Peary case. referring to them as
''pea-eyed, pin-headed, and putrid-
tongued infinitesimals.'
Representative Moore questioned Mr..
Macon as to his knowledge of polar ques-
tions. taking up the cudgels for Mr..
Peary, whom he commended as 'one of
the nations heroes" He denounced Mr..
Macon's speech as an offensive diaribe, -
and as an unjust and outrageous assault
upon an honorable man.
There were only few members pres
ent when Messrs Macon and Moore
clashed, but the occupants of the gall
leries, which were comfortably fiIled, fol-
lowed the discussion with keen relish.
Everybody sat up and took notice when
Mr.. Moore observed, In the course of
his remarks, tnat heroes like Hobson.
Dewey, and Peary have not the time to
stop and answer every dog that bites at
their heels" I
Representative Macon took as the text
Tor his address the pending bin which
proposes to place Peary on the retired
list as an admiral IN recognition of his
polar work The Arkansas statesman de-
ciared that Peary. to his mind. was ..an
unfaithfnl servant. an idle loafer.'. and
ought 70 be driven from the service in
stead OF being promoted as proposed He
charged that Peary had spent most OF his
time getting rich AZ fur trader, and

FOELKER Is TARGET
OF DAMAGING FIRE
Witness in Alleged Bribery
Case Gets a Grilling.

New York. Feb 16-Representative
Otto G. Foelker, OF Brooklyn, testifying
to-day as the chief witness for the pros
ecution in the case Of former Senator
Frank ]. Gardner, of Brooklyn, accused
of offering Foelker a bribe OF $1,000 to
withhold his vote on the Hart-Agnew
racing bills, because with his vote the
bills would pass, was subjected to a
merciless cross-examination
1t was brought out that although
Foelker claimed he himself took the re-
gents examination for a law students s
certificate, a letter asking for the GER
tificate in Foelkers name was written
by Max Sosinsky, who is now spending
nine months in the Blackwells Island
Penitentiary for impersonattng others on
such examinations. Foelker testified
that he was living at Sosinsky's home in
Manhattan while he was taking the ex-
animation
The witness also admitted that in 1906,
while he was in the assembly and after
he had been nominated for the senate, he
got check for $50 drawn by J. S. Hide
brand. who had the contract for sprinklins
streets of Manhattan, Bronx, and Brook
lyn boroughs, and whose business would
have been destroyed If a bill killed by
the assembly cities committee. of which
Foelker was a member, had passed.
Foelker insisted that he didn't get the
check from Hildebrand direct, but that
it was mailed to him by Robert A.
Sharkey, former naval officer of the port
of New York, an assembly district lead
er in Brooklyn. FoeIker didn't know
why the check was sent to him. he said
Sosinsky and Hildebrand were in the
court room and were pointed out by Rep
resentative Foelker, and they will be
called as witnesses for the defense
