A land suit involving eight and one
half inches of real estate In the heart
of the business district of Tulsa, and
valued at $1,000, is to be fought out
ia the supreme court of the United
States. This decision was reached
yesterday after a conference between
l.. E. Roberts, proprietor of a local
moving picture show. one of the llti-
gants to the suit. and Woodsen Nor
we'll, his attorney.
The land IN question lies on Main
street just north of the First National
Bank building. between the Kellman
and Kennedy buildings.
About eight years ago. the land was
part of garden patch belonging to
w. +. Moore. now deceased. Under
an agreement whereby the first brick
building ever bllt in Tulsa was con-
structed. Moore made an arrange
ment with Mr.. Kellman. who was
constructing the building, to allow the

Senate Expected 10 Ratify Taft's Ac-
tion Today-Will settle Before
New Year.

WASHINGTON. Dec. iS.-President
Taft turned over to the senate today
the task OF completing the abrogation
Of the treaty of 1882 with Russia, be-
cause of alleged determinations
against American citizens OF Jewish
faith.
Ignoring the house Of representa-
tives, the president sent a message to
the senate announcing that on Friday
last he had caused notice to be for
warded to st Petersburg that the
United States desired the treaty to
end Jenuary /. 1913. This nottfca-
tion was officially handed to the rep
resentatlve of the government.
Mr.. Taft asked the senate to ratify
and give effect to his action.
Committee Vote Unanimous.
The foreign affairs committee of
the senate voted unanimously to re-
port resolution of ratification,
coached IN diplomatic terms and Sem
ator Lodge offered II later In the
senate.
There was every reason to believe
that the resolution would be rushed
through inasmuch as the senate COM
mlttee, as an act of courtesy to. the
house, had decided that the lower
branch of congress should be asked to
concur IN the senote's action. Sem
ator Hepburn OF Idaho. however, took
the floor and after protesting vigor-
ously against hasty action. asserted

al objection threw the matter over
until tomorrow.
Although it Is rumored tonight that
politics did not enter into the fight,
the prediction was made freely that
all obstacles would be overcome and
the senate would put II through as
substitute for the house resolution
which proved objectionable to the
Russian government.
To be Abrogated Before Jan. 4.
Chairman Sulzer of the house COM
mlttee on foreign affairs, author of
the resolution, declared tonight that
he believed the matter would be ad-
justed satisfactorily and that the abro-
cation OF the treaty would be an &C.
complished fact before New York's
day
Senate leaders. both in the house
and senate. are determined to claim
credit for the abrogation of the
treaty. Senators Culbertson Of Texas
and Hitchcock of Nebraska, the lat
ter a member OF foreign relations
committee. served preliminary notice
to this effect in the senate today and
will be heard further tomorrow. Sem
ator Culbertson accused President
Taft of trying to strip the house OF
one of its resolutions and asserted
they were trying to "steal the demo-
cratic thunder"

Ways and Means Committee of House
Should Draft Bill-Senator Cur
It's Has Measure In Hand.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Secretary
Knox has written to Senator Curtis
of Kansas a letter giving information
compiled by the government, which
in the opinion of Mr.. Knox would JUS
tify legislation to provide a gradu-
ated means of meeting various dis
examinations by foreign countries
against American commerce.
The senator has framed a bill
which covers the situation as it arises.
"The problem" said Secretary Knox
rs to provide for the removal, so far
as practical, of such features in for
eign practices as may be found ad-
verse to our export trade develop
ment and of serious import to those
American enterprises directly at
fected.
Accomplished by Amendment.
'In the opinion Of the department,
this problem may be solved through
the medium of an amendment to Sec
| tion 2, Of the act of August 8, 1909,
whereby may be afforded sufficient
degree of elasticity in the imposition
of tariff rates suited to the offenses
intended for correction"
Secretary Knox cited some of the
more important instances 20 which
the attention OF the state department
has been called which properly may
not be decided as falling under the
classification of undue" discrimin-
atoms.
Points Out DETERMINATIONS.
sThere have been developed in re-
cent years, "he wrote, numerous in
stances of tariff and administrative
discrimination against products of
the United States. Many Of these, and
indeed the most important as they
then existed, were removed, or were
equallzed by the compensauons fol-
towing tn enactment of the tariff law
of August 5. 1909.
'Since the conclusion of these ne
gotiations other instances have de-
Veloped in the way of dscriminative
practices both with respect to cap
ital investments OF American citizens
in foreign countries and In regards
to the measures in the administration
of forelsA tariffs adverse to the COM
mercial interests of the United States.
