Great Britain, Italy and Spain which recently expired. These conventions provide that questions relating to the interpretation of treaties, excepting those that cannot be settled through diplomatic channels, or those of vital interest, national honor or independ- ence, shall be submitted to The Hague. similar treaty with France has al- ready been renewed.
 Great Britain and Japan Discussed.
 The main argument tonight arose over the contention that if the treaty with Great Britain is ratified the Panama canal tolls question would have to be submitted to The Hague. but during the discussion the Japan csc question and the general attitude of the nation toward compulsory arbi- tration was brought up and led to the expression of views utterly at variance with entrance into such binding agree ments in the future.
 General Principle Opposed.
 A motion to re-refer the three treaties to the foreign relations com mittee with instructions that the one with Great Britain be modified so as to exempt specifically the Panama canal tolls question was abandoned, but prolonged debate was predicted for future sessions and friends of the principle of arbitration were alarmed at the strength displayed by the oppo- sition. Some senators showed dis position to criticize the making of compulsory arbitration agreements, even if they bound only in cases which do not affect vital interest, national honor or independence.
 Senators Who Belong in England.
 One senator went so far as to de- clare: There are many people in the United States and in the senate who ought to live in England"
 Senators who did not speak, but who discussed arbitration with their col leagues during the debate. expressed decided opinions on the extent to which this nation has bound itself to argue matters out before a court. This attitude was condemned as one whic0 was becoming misunderstood through out the world and one which had ap- peared to the countrys disadvantage in the Mexican problem in the dispute with Great Britain and in the more re- cent controversy with Japan.

M'REYNOLDS PLAN
 IS NOT YET ENDORSED
His Tobacco Proposal Only a Sugges-
 ton, Declares President.

Washington. June 6.-In view OF the widespread idea that Attorney Me Reynolds proposal for a graduated ex- else tax on the output of tobacco was the expression of a new policy on the part of the Wilson administration to correct trust evils, White House off, cials tonight disclaimed that any gen. eral policy had been discussed or adopted.
 President Wilson and the attorney general during the day discussed the numerous reports that had gone forth as to the governments alleged inten- tion to strike a blow at the tobacco trust, and later White House officials declined to explain just what had taken place in the councils of the adminis- tration on the tobacco inquiry thus far.
 The proposal of the attorney general was described as a "suggestion' of fered on it's merits for discussion and bearing neither the approval nor dis approval of the administration when broached to the senate finance com mittee for consideration as an amend ment to the pending tariff bill.

tend a farewell dinner in honor of the new ambassador to Japan from the United States, George W. Guthrie. There was some discussion, however, after the long document had been read and President Wilson, as a result of his talk with Ambassador Chinda yes terday was able to illuminate the for nal arguments presented with side- lights disclosing internal political con- ditions in Japan, which are powerfully influencing the Japanese foreign of flee in the conduct of the negotia- tions.
 Familiar with Our Constitutional Law.
 Press despatches from Tokio outIin- ing the contents of the Japanese com munication were received with great interest here
 Officials who have examined into the subject have reached the conclusion that the Japanese foreign office has shown a remarkable knowledge of American constitutional law and that the legal lights of the state department will be taxed to the utmost to rebut the arguments presented.
 The assertion that the California law violates the spirit of the existing Japanese, however, is looked upon as a slight retreat from the original broad statement that the treaty had been directly violated.
 A New Line of Attack.
 Touching the point that the right of Japanese to own or lease houses carries with it the right of ownership of the lands, this. it is contended here, is true only as to houses occupied as residences or for commercial purposes and that such a claim could scarcely be extended to farm lands, which alone are covered by the California law.
 Officials say the suggestion that the alien land legislation is in violation of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution may furnish a new line of attack upon that much discussed amendment, though 1t hardly will be seriously entertained by any court.
 Equal Protection Only to Persons.
 They pointed out that the Califor- mia act provided due process of law for depriving aliens of property and suggested that the words equal pro lection of the laws" used in the amend . ment referred to persons and not to property.

GOVERNOR vEToEs
Says Utilities Commission Has Power
 To Correct Conditions.
POLLUTION BILL

Hartford, Conn, June 6-Governer
 Baldwin today vetoed another bill
 adopted by the last general assembly
 that drawn up by Corporation Coun-
 sel Kleiner of New Haven. concern ing the pollution of water supplies. States Attorney Stiles Judson of Fair field county originally drew up bill, in behalf of oystermen, to prevent the pollution of streams and tidal waters, but as objection was raised, MT. Kle1- ner drew up an amended bill which gave the state board of health DOW CT to look into the matter. The bill was known as senate bill No. 343 and
 was adopted by the house in concur renee.
 In his veto memorandum, Governor Baldwin says:
 This bill gives the state board of health power, if it should find the public water supply of any munici- pality impure to notify the managers l of the supply, and if on hearing it finds that changes are necessary in the source of supply, or in the mode of purifying the water. to order such
 changes, subject to an appeal to the
 superior court.
 "The public utilities commission,
 under the public acts of 1911, which
 created it. has the power, on complaint of any defects in any portion of the
 plant or equipment of any public serv-
 ice company, including water com
 panies. or of the manner of operating the plant. by reason of which the
 public health is endangered to in
 vestigate, and if it finds conditions to
 be dangerous to public safety, make any order necessary to remedy it, sub-
 ject to an appeal to the superior court Tt is undesirable to have similar
 powers in such a matter belonging to two independent tribunals. It seems to me that the public utilities commis-
 sion, having general jurisdiction of
 all public service companies, is the
 enc better fitted to proceed in case of impurity in a, water supply and that the bill now before me, which was
 passed at the heel of the session on
 June 4th, does not merit my approval. T therefore withhold my signature. (Signed)

Republican Senators Declare His Recent Criticism of Lobby Amounts to "Undue Influence"
OPERATES AGAINST A CONSCIENTIOUS VOTE
Will Force Senators Vote Against Tariff Amendments That They Believe to be Just to Escape Stigma of Being Aligned With Lobbyists Executive Has More Influence on Bills Than all Other Persons at Washington.

make more searching the investiga- tiOns still to be carried on.
 Senator Weeks of Massachusetts, also a republican, following Senator opinion that executives had had more influence on bills than all the persons who have come to Washington put to- gether.
 '"The statement that the president put out in regard to an insidious lobby influenced the public mind," said Sen ator Weeks, "and that has it's effect upon the senators. The public be- heves lobbyist is a bad man. and ID senator likes to oppose a measure if the president says the lobbyists arS seeking to change it"
 Committees Time Extended.
 The committee members did not ask Senator Shively. who followed Sena- tor Weeks. whether the president had influenced his position on the tariff. Senator Shively, a democratic member of the finance committee, said he knew of no lobbying influences at work on the tariff bill.
 The senate agreed early in the af- ternoon to extend the time limit for the lobby investigation 20 days. or un- til June 2S. Members of the commit tee doubt whether it can be completed within that time The new element injected into 1t today probably will carry the questioning or senators over into next week. Features of the So called Hobbies on sugar, wool and metals and liquors, labor and other legislation must then be taken up as the second stage of the investigation.
 Wilson Using "Undue Influence"
 Senator ToWnsend's s statements in relation to President Wilson were not in the form of charges. He expressly said he did not charge the president with using improper methods, but he insisted that the charges that Hobbies existed and the activity of the presi- dent in support of free wool and free sugar amounted to an undue inf1u ence," even though he did not see the "big stick" of patronage.

Washington, June 6.--An unexpected turn was gwen the senate's lobby in vestigation late today when Senator Townsend of Michigan. republican, de- cIared on the stand that the influence yielded by President Wilson and by the democratic secret caucus, on th9 making of the tariff bill constituted the nearest approach to undue lnflu- eucc upon members of congress- that the investigating committee would De able to find. Senator Townsend crit icized the committee for not having asked members of the senate whether the president had sought to influence them. and declared that even though the president had not intended 1t hls recent denunciatfon of Hobbies" work ing in support of changes in the tariff would force certain senators to vote against amendments they knew to be just
 Resented by Democratic Senators.
 Who are those senators? ?'' demanded Senator Reed.
 T don't care to name anyone" re- turned Townsend.
 The two democratic members of the committee present, Senators Reed and Walsh indignantly resented any intl- mation that President Wilson had used patronage or threats to force anyone to support free sugar or free wool, or 10 support the bill as whole. Sena tor Townsend insisted the committee had not asked any senator thus far whether President Wilson had tried to influence him.
