-PAUNCEF0TE TREATY
CAN STILL Be ADVOCATED
So Declares HanniS Taylor,
the Distinguished Writer on
International Law
fRy Associated Press. J

WASHINGTON, July 24-Hannis
Taylor, former minister to Spain and a
writer on international law, published
an open letter here today contending
that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is void
able because OF the situation arising
out of Panama's ceding the canal zone
to the United States.
There is no room for hair-splitting
on that point" writes Mr.. Taylor.
within the canal zone the United
States is sovereign for all the purposes
of international law. Under that law II
is we'll settled that a treaty becomes
voidable, not void whenever a change
has taken place in the fundamental con-
ditions existing at the time it was
made" The writer quotes Hall, the
English authority on international law,
in support of that contention.
RUSSIA'S PRECEDENT
Mr.. Taylor refers to Russias repudia-
ton in 1870 of certain portions of the
treaty Of Paris, relating to the Black
sea and contends 1t set precedent upon
which the United States may act
In conclusion the writer contends in
part:
the well-delned principle of interna-
the well-defined princviple of i nterna-
tional law, as punctuated BIZ the Rus
sian precedent Of 1870, that after there
has been an essential change in the con-
ditions existing at the time the treaty
was made, it becomes voidable. In that
we can justly lift the question out of
the domain of international arbitration
where we could never obtain a fair hear
ing in the domain of diplomatic negotia-
ton with Gaeat Britain, where 3will
be sure to receive fair and friendly con-
sideration." sa

SENATE SLAVES DOWN
POSTAL APPROPRIATIONS
Good Roads Provision Is Cut
0ff-ParCeiS Post Charges
Revised
fRv Associated Prose-

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The post
Office appropriation bill, shorn of the
good roads provision proposed by the
house, and embracing a revised parcels
post system with charges based on
zones of distance was reported to the
senate today by the postoffice commit
tee.
The total appropriations proposed by
the bill are above those of the house
measure, which carried approximately
$3.50, 600, 900. One of the principal in
creases is in the pa yof railroads for
transporting mails, the senate commit
tee adding more than s2,5oO,OO0-
GOOD ROADS FEATURE.
In striking out the Shackelford good
roads feature of the house bill, which
provided for federal Improvement OF
highways, the senate committee recon-
mends an investigation by a special
commission of three house members and
three senators and provides for no high
way improvements until this commits
sion has reported.
The Barnhart amendment in the house
bill for the regular publication Of the
names Of the stockholders of newspa-
pers. and periodicals is changed to pro-
vide for publication once a year when
lists of the stockholders are required to
be filed with local postmasters.
PARCELS POST.
The parcels post section is radically
different from that incorporated in the
house bill. which provided a fiat rate of
postage for all distances. The senate
provision is that of the Bourne bill,
modified. Senator Bourne rec
commended that lird and fourth-class
mail matter he combined for the parcels
post service, but the bill makes the par
cells post apply only to fourth-class mat
ter.
The senate committee struck out of
the house bill the provision giving to
postal employees the right to combine in
labor unions and the right to petition
congress for redress of their grievances
1t also provided for the adjustment
of the present system of carrying Sec
ond class. mail by fast freight, under
what is known as the blue tag" system.
Under the senate bin all second-class

home with the family in ignorance OF

parently not more than is years of age,
sore at heart started 10 the depot with
the child IN her arms. As she turned

met Florida Simons. negro nurse,

her charge. The girl asked the negress
to hold the baby for a moment while
she went in a nearby store and rear
ranged her hair.
The woman, suspecting nothing, took
charge OF the tiny bit OF humanity, and
when after some time had elapsed and
the mother did not return, she turned
the child over 20 Patrolman Swinney,
and II was taken TO police headquarters
and given over to the charge Of Mrs.
Bohnefeid.
Later in the afternoon the babe was
taken 70 the Home for the Friendless,

ConStabIeS
Especial Dispatch to The JOurnal.l


CHARLESTON, s. c.. July 24.-Mayor
Grace characterizes as IAN unquali-
fed lie" the charge of Cover
nor Blease that his opposition to
the appointment of constables in Charles
ton was due to his desire to control the
personnel of the force and direct its OPP
erations.
Mayor Grace cites his previous let
ters on the matter and states that at
the conference at the German Artillery
hall, after Blease's election, the gov
ernor said that he would not appoint
constables in Charleston and when
pressed to deny further rumor of his
proposed appointment of Stothart to the
office, he admitted that he had Stothart's
name under consideration.
He turned to L. G. A. Roessler, one of
the party Of fifteen at the conference and
asked him If he would take the office
and Roessler said that he would not,
supporting Mayor Grace in his conten-
ton that Charleston should not be har-
assed with dispensary constables.
Mayor Grace is not yet through with
Governor Blease. In his weekly paper,
he is fighting hard for the election of
Judge Jones and if the forces of Sherin
Martin, whom Mayor Grace is also OPP
posing, support Judge Jones as loyalty.
Blease will get small vote in Charles

Mayor Grace has not authorized the
statement. but it comes from good
source, that he is endeavoring to get the
release on a certain confidential letter
which he desires to use and 1T is SAID
that it's publication will cause sensa-
ton in state politics and carry conster-
nation into the Blease camp. Mayor
Grace has this letter, dealing with the

mayor can not make it public unless he
