spiracy case who pleaded guilty, was

local from 1908 to 1911. The Jurisdiction
Of the local covered parts of Ohio. Ken

amined several other witnesses, the pur-
pose being to corroborate the testimony

BIG MILITARY
SHAKE-UP ON
Orders for Transfer of Nearly l,20o
Officers Issued by the War
Department.

Orders for the transfer of nearly 1.aOO
officers Of the army have been prepared
at the War Department. and their is
suance to the service was started yester-
day. This inaugurztes the greatest shake
up ever known in the history OF the
United States military service, especially
as all changes OF posts OF the officers
concerned must have been accomplished
by December Is next.
The general shifting which Is causing
hundreds OF officers to pack their grips
Is due to legislation enacted at the last
session Of Congress. A drastic provision
was inserted in the army appropriation
bill requiring that all officers who had
not spent at least two years out of the
last six on duty with troops, must be
with their regiments not later than De-
cember Is. After careful scrutiny Of this
provision. 1t was found that the law in
Guided as detached service such duties
as military attaches, regfmental STAFF
officers, students at the service schools,
instructors at West Point, and the SER
vice schools, and officers attending for
eiEn military schools, officers on duty
with militia in the various States, and
serving at educational institutions. With
this Interpretation OF the law, SIS officers
were found who had to be transferred in
order that the SecSetary Of War might
comply with the law. To take their
places, 5S5 more had to be moved, making
a total OF LILO officers affected by the
upheaval. The estimated cost OF this
quick shift is from $4,000 to 100000 fer
travel expenses alone. In addition, 1t is
felt that the forced shifting will work
harm, especially at the schools, where
the plans for the years work have been
seriously interferred with.

DEMOCRATS DROP
ECONOMY PROGRAM
No Effort to Be Made to Reduce
Running Expenses at
Coming Session.

There will be no attempt at this ses-
sion to reduce running expenses in the
executive departments by means of broad
cuts and sweeping economies according
10 Representative Joseph T. johnson, of
South Carolina, Chairman of the subcom-
mittee Of tie Appropriations Committee
in charge of the Legislative, Executive
and Judicial Appropriation Bill. The bill
probably will carry about the same
amount as last session, between $34,OOO, 900
and 200. No general legislation is
anticipated and Mr. johnson said yes
terday he did not believe there would be
any material reductions or increases at
this session.
That the Democrats do not intend to
permit appropriation legislation to drag
through the entire session as II did last
session is indicated n Mr.. Johnsons an
nouncement that he expects to have the
bill ready for presentation to the House
as soon after the opening day as the full
committee can be brought together to ap-
prove IL.
The legislative bill for the fiscal year
ending next July was not passed until
late in August, after II had been twice
vetoed by the President because of gen.
eral legislation involving the Commerce
Court and the civil service.
The final disposition of the Commerce
Court probably will be left either to the
extra session, which is generally expect
ed, or to the first regular session of the
Sixty-third Congress. If the atcion is
taken at the extra session the court will
have to be abolished by a special meas
ure. otherwise 1t can be abolished by
failure to appropriate for it in the regu-
lar session.

NATIONS RATTRY
FISHERIES TREATY
Final Action Taken at State Depart
ment by Secretary Knox and
Ambassador Bryce.

Ratifcations of an agreement as to
procedure of the United States and
Great Britain under the Newfoundland
fisheries arbitration award. were ex-
changed at the State Department yes
terday by Secretary of State Knox and
British Ambassador James Bryce This
action marks the final step in the ad-
justment of the century-old contro-
versy between the two governments as
to the rights of their respective ma
tionaIities on the Newfoundland fish
ing banks.
The agreement, of which ratifica-
tions were exchanged yesterday. was
signed in Washington on July Z, 1912.
The, award OF The Hague Tribunal.
which the agreement supplemented.
was rendered on September I, 1910.
Both the award and the subsequent de-
tailed agreement brought substantial
gain to American fishermen. The
agreement was ratified by the Senate
last summer.
One Of the questions settled by the fish
cries arbitration was that neither Great
Britain nor its colonies were at liberty
to impose fisheries regulations upon
American fishermen exercising their
treaty rights in the territorial waters Of
Newfoundland and Canada unless such
regulations were reasonable within the
meaning OF the award, and that in case
Of dispute neither Great Britain nor the
United States could be the sold judge Of
the reasonableness Of such regulations,
but that the United States was entitled
in such cases to have the question Of
their reasonableness determined by an
impartial tribunal. The rules and method
of procedure embodied in the award. as
now adopted by the agreement just rati-
fed, secure this right to the United
States by requiring that the Canadian
and Newfoundland governments give
public notice of the adoption OF new fish
cries regulations affecting American fish
ermen in treaty waters at least six
months before the opening of the next
following fishing season. when such reg
ulations are intended to go into effect.

NEW ORLEANS Sept. 27.--That the

A reliable party wires from that state;

The market, however seems to pay less
attention to change in crop prospects
than to the unfavorable technical situa-
