GIVES RUSS|A'S REASON
FOR OPPOSING SHUS7ER
Charged That He Had Begun
Preparations for Forming
National Army.

LONDON, January 16.-Maj. Bruce,
an American attached to the gen.
darmerie. was fired uuon yesterday while
proceeding from the barracks to his
residence. says a Teheran dispatch to
cealed in house. The bullets went
wide.
NEW YORK. January 1s.-According
to advices received by Col Patrick
Gallagher. former associate of Nor
gan Shuster. the real reason why Rus
sia forced the ousting of Mr. Shuster
from the office of treasurer general of
Persia was because he had already be-
gun to lay the foundations of a ma
tional army in that country.
Shuster's Alleged Attitude.
Col. Gallagher explains:
Before he had been a month in Per-
sia, Shuster felt the strong undercur-
rent OF patriotism that was moving
the people to resent the division of
their country into spheres of influence
on Great Britain and Russia. Far
from failing to recognize the existence
of these respective spheres of in
f1uence, the treasurer general deter
mined to give the Persians a perma-
nent weapon with which to resist ae
gression and establish their indepen-
dence.
Men Brought From Manila.
"Shuster's design was to work out the
rudiments Of a standing army under the
cloak of strengthening the customs gem
darmerie. After securing the approval of
the Persian cabinet, he went to Manila
for some of his old associates who hau
been in the philippine constabulary.

The right and duty of the business men
OF the country to an important part in
framing legislation was vigorously en-
phasized by President Frank d. I.aI.anne
of the National Board of Trad :. I'm his
address this afternoon at the opening
session Of the forty-second annual meet
ing Of that organization In the red room
of the New Willard Hotel. Never before
had this duty been SO apparent as at
present, he said. when the questions OF

canal and the proper regulation of great
corporations must be passsd upon. About
115 delegates from important commercial
bodies in all parts of the country are at

1T is well known among the business

for the purpose of promoting the eff

and harmony of action among them

WILL DISCUSS TREATIES
DURING OPEN SESSION
Senate Reaches Decision in
. Matter After Some Sharp
Debating.

After a discussion lasting for an hour
In executive session yesterday afternoon
the Senate decided, by vote of 50 to s.
In favor of discussing the arbitration
treaties between the United States and
Great Britain and France in open session.
The test between the factions that
wanted the discussion closed or open
came when Senator Rayner rose in the
Senate yesterday afternoon and started
to speak on the treaties. Senator Lodge
Of Massachusetts. who has favored de-
bate behind closed doors, raised a point
Of order that the subject under discussion
was executive business and that the doors
Of the chamber should be closed. He was
sustained by Senator Bacon, who was
presiding In the absence of Vice President
Sherman. and the galleries were soon
cleared and the doors locked
Discussion Is Spirited.
There was some sharp debate in the
executive session. Senators Lodge and
McCumber led the fight for discussion
behind closed doors, and Senators Will
liam Alden Smith OF Michigan and Ray
ner Of Maryland were steadfast in fight
ing for open discussion. Senator Root,
former Secretary of State, lined up in
favor Of the open discussion.
1t was pointed out by those who urg-
ed open discussion that the President
and Secretary of State had made many
public addresses on the treaties since
they had been before the Senate and
they urged that the senator's should be no
less free In discussing the treaties in
public.
Among those voting for debate in
executive session were Senators Lodge,
McCumber. Oliver and Townsend, re-
publicans, and Thornton democrat.

NEW INAUGURAL DAY
House Regarded as Certain to
Pass Henry Resolution.
REPORT TO BE FAVORABLE
Members of Judiciary Committee
Unanimous in Approval.
LAST THURSDAY IN APRIL
Change Also Proposed in Time for
Convening of Congress-Im-
mediate Action Urged

The resolution fathered by Representa-
tive Henry of Texas, chairman of the
house committee on rules, which proposes
to change the date of inaugurating future
Presidents and Vice Presidents of the
United States from the 4th of March to
the last Thursday in April, will be re-
ported to the House from the committee
on the judiciary in a few days. The COM
mittee considered the resolution today,
and while no formal vote was taken it
was unanimously agreed to report 1t.
Several democratic members announced
that they will attempt to amend the reso-
tuition In some particulars when it Is
called up in the House. 1t is anticipated
that the resolution will receive early con-
s!deration. and it is regarded as certain to
pass by large vote.
THE short session of Congress. which
would occur Immediately after the No
vember election. upon the adoption of the
amendment, is to be eliminated in this
constitutional change" said Mr.. Henry.
after the committee meeting. and its
term shall expire on the second Tuesday
In January Immediately following.
Time Of Elections.
Under this plan no election or repre-
sentatives will come between Congresses.
and no short session can be held, with its
possibility of impeding business.
THE plan fixes the last Thursday In
April as the limit of time In which the
House must elect a President, when that
duty devolves upon that body, and 1t
gives Congress constitutional power to
legislate as to the session in cases
where there is a vacancy on account OF
elect and Vice President-elect between
the counting of the electoral vote and
the inaue uratiOn. There is a complete
hiatus here at present, and should
these officials die or become totally
disabled between those dates there is
no authority for filling the vacancies
during the ensuing four years from
such disaster. Under this plan the
newly elected Congress will count the
electoral vote and would elect the
President, should the contingency arise.
Amendment Necessary.
'Tt is certain that q constitutional
amendment is necessary to bring about
all these changes, except that relating
to the annual converting of Congress"
Representative Henry was warmly con-
graduated at the close of today's meet
ing by members who have backed him
in his long fight to secure this legisla-
tion He is anxious to have the resolu-
tion passed by Congress in the near fu-
ture SO that the constitutional amend
ment involved may be submitted to the
states for their vote upon 1t.
