VETERANS FEAR TAFT
PRESIDENT TALKS PEACE TO
BLUE AND GRAY.
Announces Arbitration Treaties with
France and Great Britain Win be
Signed Within Ten DAYS.

Manassas, Va. President Taft
In addressing several thousand Union
and Confederate veterans made
vigorous plea for international
peace and was applauded and cheered
most heartily
The president declared that a gen.
eral arbitration treaty both with Great
Britain and with France probably
would be signed within the next ten
days. He added that he hoped within
the next few days to announce that
three other great powers would enter
into similar agreements with the
United States. He did not go SO far
as to indicate the nations that he had
in mind, but 1t was generally be-
lieved that he referred to Germany.
Italy and the Netherlands Japan Ill
timateiy may come into the far-reach-
ing peace pact. but the negotiations
with the empire as yet are said to be
merely tentative
President Taft reached Manassas
after tempestous trip II was so
strenuous that the presidential party
abandoned their motor cars here and
returned to the capital by train. Mr.
Taft laughingly likened his troubles
in getting to Bull Run to those that
some folks so years ago had in get

sentatives down with me from Wash

PACT BILL PASSED
TAFT RECIPROCITY MEASURE
CARRIED BY SENATE BY
VOTE OF IS TO 27.
WILL BECOME LAW JULY 26
Amendments That Encumbered Can
ada Pact Quickly Swept Aside
When Time Comes for Decisive Ac-
tion-~Party Lines Are Wiped Out.

Washington.-The Canadian reci-
procity bill was passed by the senate
by a vote of SO ayes and 81 nays. and
the business for which congress was
assembled in extraordinary session
was concluded.
President Taft did not receive the
measure for signature before leaving
for Beverly as the house had ad-
journed before the senate took the
final vote, and the engrossment of the
bill must take place while the branch
in which :. originated Is in session.
Every amendmen. was voted down
by larger majority than that by
which the original bill finally carried
lin all cases where a roll call was
had. On the final passage 81 Repub-
licans voted for the bill and "a against.
80 Democrats for 1t and 3 against
The only significant thing as to
votes on the various amendments was
the practically unanimous disposition
on the part Of friends Of the reciproc-
fly measure not to allow anything to
mar the agreement entered into be-
tween executive officials of the Cana
dian and United States govern
ments.
Most Of the votes on amendments
on which there were roll calls ran
about 16 to Ga The highest votes OBJ
tanned in favor of any amendments
were those on the Nelson cattle and
farm products proposition and the Nc
Cumber scheme to prevent elimination
of the duties on grain In bond. The
former was defeated 20 to So and the
latter Fl to "a
No big crowds filled the galleries
when the end came, but there were
many members of the house on the
floor as the finish approached. There
was no oratory-just series of roll
calls, which brought the main issue
to a vote.
Ottawa, Ont.-The favorable action
by the United States senate on the
reciprocity agreemnt puts the govern
ment In a somewhat stronger position,
but 1t is conceded that it will not
prove factor in breaking the pres
ent deadlock on the question in the
Canadian commons. The leaders of
the opposition profess to see no
change In the situation and assert
that they will continue the fllibuster
against a measure which, they claim
is the entering wedge looking to dis
solution of Canada's ties with the
mother country.
Under parliamentary rules the ma
jority cannot force closure on a ques-
ton of this kind. The opposition can
delay vote indefinitely by providing
speakers to continue debate.
A dissolution of parliament and an
appeal to the country in a general
election with reciprocity as the issue
is the only course left to the govern
ment and 1t is expected that Premier
Laurier will take advantage of the
first opportunity within a fortnight.
The new parliament would be able to
enact the agreement before the first
of the year.

ELEVEN FIRMS TO DIVIDE TRADE
Is SHOWN IN U. S.
INQUIRY.
CONTRACT DENIED BY TRUST
Counsel for Big Corporation Repudl-
ates Agreement Claiming II Was
r1ever Signed, But Committee Place
Il In the Records.

Washington.-A purported pooling
agreement entered into in November,
1900. between the Carnegie Steel COM
pany and ten other kindred concerns
for percentage apportionment OF
the steel output of the country-an
admittedly illegal document supposed
ly long since destroyed-stirred the
meeting of the house steel trust In
vestigating committee.
No sooner had the committee met
than Chairman stanley put into the
records a copy of the alleged agree
ment 1t first came to light through
Eugene Bonnewell, an attorney, and
f. B. Kaufman, job printer, both
of Wayne, Pa. who acquainted Chair
man Stanley of their information.
ANY steel company violating the
terms of the agreement, it is assert
ed, laid itself liable to heavy penalties
and fines of as much as $1,000 have
been imposed. Each firm was re-
CURED to make monthly sworn state
ments relating to shipments, rolling
production, ETC., and any member who
shipped more than his apportioned
amount was required to pay fine on
each pound of such excess, the money
collected being divided among the
members who did not ship up to their
allotted share.
Section of the agreement, reads:
'All sales between parties to these
agreements shald be at full prices,
as provided in agreement and all
shipments shall be reported by the
manufacturer, on which a pool tax will
be charged the same as outside par
ties, the purchaser also to report ship
ments of all such materials so bought,
for which they shall claim and receive
credit"
Richard Lindabury. counsel for the
United States Steel corporation, pro-
tested against the introduction OF copy
of the agreement because it was not
signed and because the date as
given was one year in advance of the
formation of the United States Steel
corporation Mr. Lindabury said that
there was no such agreement in the
files of the steel corporation and he
denied all knowledge of 1t, but the
copy of the agreement as read was
placed in the committees report.
