BRYAN IS FLAYED
UNDERWOOD IN SPEECH IN
HOUSE DECLARES NEBRASKA
MAN A FALSlFlER.
WET WITH WILD APPLAUSE
Charge Of Delaying Iron and Steel
Tariff Revision by Committee Is
Cause Of Vitroffc Attack by Demo-
cratic Leader.

Washington.-In one Of the most re-
markable scene in the house since
the beginning of the extra session
Representative Oscar w. Underwood
of Alabama, the Democratic leader OF
the house. fired a verbal %broadside at
William Jennings Bryan for the lat
ter's criticism Of his position on the
extension of the tariff revision pro-
gram. Mr.. U~nderwood's Democratic
colleagues wildly cheered him as he
made his vitrolic attack upon the
Nebraskan.
E~xcoriating the three times candi-
date of the Democratic party for pres
idential honors, Leader Underwood de-
nounced Mr., Bryan's statements as
false. defended his CUnderwood's) at
titude as to revision of the iron and
steel tariff schedules, and said Bryan
has placed upon every Democratic
member implications ~unfounded in
fact,
He called on his colleagues of the
ways and means committee for cor
roboration of his attitude.
Mr.. Underwood was ba cked up in a
similarly striking speech by Repre-
sentative Kitchin of North Carolina,
long a devoted friend of Bryan, Mr..
Kitchin expressed surprise that any
Democrat should so malign Mr.. Under
wood and the party. and through all
this arraignment not a voice was
raised In defense of Bryan.
1t all came about from a published
interview. which purported to be 'au-
thorized" by Mr.. Bryan. declaring it
vas time Democratic Leader Under
wood was "unmasked."
The action of Chairman Under
wood in opposing an immediate effort
to reduce the iron and steel schedule
reveals the real Underwood" said
the Bryan interview. Speaker Clark
int other tariff reformers tried to
secure the passage of a resolution
instructing the ways and means COM
mittee to take up other schedules. in
Guiding the iron and steel schedule,
but Underwood and Fitzgerald, the
Fitzgerald who saved Cannon in the
last congress-. succeeded in defeating
the resolution"
THE unmasking of Chairman I'm
derwood will serve a useful purpose"
added the interview, "if it arouses
the Democrats to an understanding Of
the mistake made in putting Mr.. I'm
derwood at the head of the commit
tee, if he solidifies his policy of de-
lay"
AS the clerk finished reading the
Bryan interview. Mr.. Underwood. in
calm and even tones, opened the
walls Of his wrath. He declared that
because of his investments Of the
iron and steel mills in his own state.
Alabama. he had urged the ways and
means committee at the beginning Of
the session to saw him embarrass-
ment by taking up the iron and steel
schedule at once This had not been
done by the committee, he said. be-
cause it had determined that the tex
tile schedules should be revised first
to satisfy public clamor.

sou;ro Some Winter Wheat.

Pierre.-On account Of late rains IN
the northern part of Stanley county, a
number of residents OF that section
are planting their fields to winter
wheat, putting it on the same ground
which was planted to other crops last
spring, but which did not make a
growth. They believe that winter
wheat is the better crop, and that the
ground is in shape now TO give it a
good start this fall. and assure them
an early start next spring.

WORM lSA
psvours Only pIowssd and Russlaa
ThjstIoS,


Aberdeen.-Farmers in Brown coun-
ty are watching with interest the be-
havior of a most unusual and peculiar
acting green worm which Is infestins
certain portions Of the county in great
numbers. The worm is a stranger to
South Dakota, &c far as old settlers
a recollect. 1t is about an inch long,
about as large around as a match, and
has one pair Of legs in front, another
pair at the rear, and six pairs in the
middle Of the body. 1t does not pro-
gress across the ground by means Of
doubling itself up and then extending
as is the habit of the ordinary worm,
but crawls quite swiftly, extended at
full length. The worm travels in COM
numbering thousands, n
group of the worms extending for a
distance of a quarter of a mile in
length. At first the farmers were in
clined to think the worm was the old
fashioned army worm, but later inves-
tigation proved it to be an entirely
new species so far as this portion OF
South Dakota is concerned.
The most peculiar thing about the
worm is that it confines it's feed solely
to the Russian thistle and to pigweed.
1t cleans up the pigweed pretty thor.
oughly, but when it tackles the this
tie it confines itself to the leaves OF
the plant, leaving the stem. The worm
has been observed by reputable farm
ers in the eastern and southern parts
of Brown county. So long as 1t de-
u only pigweed and Russian this
tie it will not be molested to any great
extent.

NATIONS For PEACE
ARBITRATION TREATIES ARE
SIGNED BY UNITED STATES,
FRANCE AND BRITAIN.
PRESIDENT TAFT IS VICTOR
compacts Result From Suggestion Of
United States Chief Executive
Made In Speech Made in Wash
inaton Last December.

Observation-Disclosures of the great
world powers have taken a long
stride toward the goal of universal
peace. Arbitration treaties binding
the United States and Great Britain
and France, respectively, were signed
at the White House in Washington In
the presence of a notable gathering
Of officials and at the ministry of for
eign affairs in Paris.
Secretary Of State Knox signed the
two treaties in behalf Of the United
States. James Bryce, the British am
bassador, affixed his signature in be
half of Great Britain. thus completing
the Anglo-American pact, with the ex.
ception of ratification by the senate
The French treaty was signed In
duplicate in Paris six hours earlier
by j. j. ~Jusserand. ambassador to the
United States.
AS soon as the copies of the two
treaties had been signed President
Taft affixed his signature to two
measures for transmittal to the senate
It was thought at first that an ex-
change on the Franco-American treaty
would be necessary before 1t could
be sent to the senate. Later on Off
cial notification from Paris OF he
signature there, President Taft de-
cided to rush the treaties at once to
the senate in the hope of securing &C
ton at this session.
The general features Of the new
treaties are:
All differences internationally justi-
ciable shall be submitted to The
Hague, unless by special agreement
some other tribunal is created or Sc
lected.
Differences that either country
thinks are not justicable shall be re-
ferred to a commission Of inquiry
composed of nationals of the two gov
ernments, empowered to make recon-
mendations for their settlement.
Should the commission decide that
the dispute should be arbitrated. such
decision will be binding.
Before arbitration is resorted to,
sven In cases where both countries
agree that the difference is suscep-
tible Of arbitration, the commission of
inquiry shall investigate the dispute
with a view Of recommending a settle
ment without arbitration.
The commission, at request of either
government, will delay it's findings one
year to give an opportunity for dipio-
matte settlement.
The convention grew directly out of
President Taft's speech in Washing
ton. December 18 last, before the
American Society for the Judicial Set
Element Of international disputes. in
which he said:
II now we a negotiate and put
through a positive agreement with
some great nation to abide the adj
of an international arbitral
in every issue which cannot be
settled by negotiation, no matter what
It involves, whether honor, territory,
or money, we shall have made a long
step forward by demonstrating that 1t
IL possible for two nations at least
establish. ~ between them. the
system Of due process Of law
exists between individuals under
q government"

northwestern portion Of the state for
an investigation with a double purpose;

bilities of that section Of the state, and
the other to look over the situation as
to the best method of assisting settlers
in that section who are really in need
of help to get through the winter.

Rural Mail u

Pierre.-That the government has
established a rural mail route out Of
Ottumwa to cover territory north and
west of that place, is evidence that not
all the settlers are getting out of that
part of the country, and that there are
enough left that are entitled to i'm
proved mail facilities for that section.

Suppress Gaming.

suppress AMIN
Pierre.-At former land registrations
at different places in this state the
gambling element has thrived at the
expense Of those who gathered to reg
lister. J. w. Witten, the government
representative in charge of the work,
is determined that this shall not be the
case in the registration for Mellette
and Bennett county lands, and has
called upon the state authorities to as
sist in the work. After a conference
on the part of Gev. Vessey and Attor-
ney General Johnson, they have decld-
ed to call upon the local authorities TO
use every means to prevent gambling
at registration POINTS, and have fur
Their notified such local authorities that
any complaints in regard to gambling
at thai time will mean the sending of
a special prosecutor from the attorney
generals department to take up the
matter of law enforcement. The local
authorities will be held responsible
for any failures to suppress gambling
which will require action on the para
of the state legal department. In
other words, all the power of the state
executive and legal department will be
turned loose on the situation where the
local authorities are either unable or
unwilling to cope with the situation.
