The British Wow.

Further light on the British view OF the
free tolls question serves not only TO EN-
phasize the inadequacv Of the reply whicn
Secretary Knox has made to the note OF
Sir Edward Grey. but TO indicate the I'M
likelihood that any settlement can be
reached during this administration, Oh
which less than thrty-eiGht days remain
Mr.. Knox very conclusively demonstrates
that the rates as fixed by the President
proclamation are Just and equitaois
and that they are no higher because OF
the fact that American coastWise ships
are exempt from their payment, but the
contention of Great Britain is that she
was TO have for all time the partnership
of American shipping in maintaining the
tolls at a low figure, and that If American
coastwise shipping is to be exempted
that partnership will be destroyed. NOT
only will American ship owners have no
incentive to exert influence to prevent an
increase of rates. but might even find IN
the preferential treatment an incentive 10
bolster the rates. TO the end that such
preference might be the greater.

HOUSE INQUIRY Baked
Can Rep. Redfeld, Himself an
Investigator, Testify?
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. Jan. 25.-Among all the IN
vestigations undertaken by the Demo-
cratic House. that OF the District Com
mittee into local insurance conditions
faces the most complicated situations.
When the committee adjourned tonight
until Monday II left undecided the ques-
ton whether one of its members, Repre-
sentative Redfeld, of New York should
take the stand and undergo examination
concerning certain statements he is al
legged to have made tending to reflect
upon member of the Supreme Court Of
the District.
Representative Henry, chairman OF the
Rules Committee testified that Mr.. Red
field. in his presence had said that JUS
tlce Ashley VI. Gould received pay for
the use Of his name As an officer of two
insurance companies under investigation.
Judge Gould had previously denied that
charge, and demanded to know who was
responsible for the origin OF the report.
After Mr.. Henry testified. Representa-
tive Redheld, one Of -, the investigators.
asked to be sworn. Two of his colleagues.
Berger and Prouty, objected to the swear
ing of Mr.. Redheld. saying it was be-

The Amended Arbitration Treaty.

There appears 20 be grave doubt as to
the Willingness of Great Britain TO com
plete the ratification of the arbitration
treaty of August 3. 1911. The subject has
not been considered by the Foreign once
i'm connection with this controversy. AT
least so far as is known here. nut II 10
known that when the extent OF the SEN
ate amendments was first learned the
Foreign Office shared the views OF the
Department of State that the conventions
had been so mutiated as 10 render them
a step backward rather than forward. In
the progress of arbitration In doing Its
part toward ratifying those conventions.
IL will be recalled. the Senate greatly ex-
tended the exemptions made in the arbi-
tration treaty now In force and which
expires next June. The existing treaty
provides for the arbitration of all ques-
tons which do not affect the vital in
t,rests the independence or the honor 81
the two contracting states. and DO not
concern the interests OF third parties
Broad as is that exemption, however that
which the Senate made a part OF the
treaty OF August is far broader. for II
eXempts questions of territorial integrity
which would include all boundary ques-
tions. the Indebtedness OF any state. the
maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine and
finally. the attitude of thu United States
concerning . . other purely govern
mental policy" In view of this language
il obviously becomes difficult TO conceive
Of any controversy to the arbitration or
which either country would he bound by
the convention.

ITCHING MAN TO TOE SCRATCH
Will Have to Explain to Court Why He Initiated an
Upper Limb in Presence Of Fair Young
Librarians Of Richmond HILL

followed by a whispered consultation al
the end Of the aisle. Plaintive cries oil
"Oh, May. Oh. Louise Did you ever
hear of such a thing Helen? Isn't II
terrible. Phyllis?" caused Reed 10 glance
up. but he could see nothing to excite
his curiosity, and shortly afterwarj LEFT
for his home.
Yesterday a warrant was sworn out for
Bertram Reeds arrest, and he was
taken before Magistrate Leach, totally
ignorant as to why he was being thus
Inundated. Then one OF the young
women who work in the library got up
and blushngly told the magistrate what
she had seen in mirror commanding a
view Of the aisle at the very moment that
Reed was indulging in the anti-itch treat
ment. The three other young women cor
roborated her.
Then Ii was Reeds turn. He simply told
the magistrate that at the proper time
he would be able to show just cause for
his actions. and asked the court to ad-
journ his hearing until tomorrow. This
was done.

THE DAY IN WASHINGTON

structing the Notifications to plead that
inasmuch as projectiles had not been fired
into the others territory. no trespass had
occurred. and that ii was not the power
TO commit trespass. but only the actual
exercise of that power in committing the
act or trespass ITSELF which can be COM
plained Of II is pointed out again that
the United States and Great Britain have
entered into an agreement not to maintain
navy on the Great Lakes. and II Is
submitted that were Great Britain to
begin laying down Dreadnoughts in a
country would hardly entertain with en-
tire equanimity the reply to an Ameri-
cen protest that Great Britain was mere
~ building tine ships. but had as yet
failed to undertake TO maintain fleet
OH the lakes. There is nothing to indi-
cate what view will be taken by the
Foreign Once OF the suggestion that the
present problem be submitted to such a
high joint commission as was provided In
the treaty. which thus far remains un-
ratified. but it is regarded as quite likely
that il will be pointed out that. while
such commission might prove Of the ut
most value in a controversy involving
serious questions of facts, its utility In
this instance. where the facts are practi-
caly agreed upon. and only the interpre-
tation of the language Of treaty is at
stake. would be small.

Naval College Extension.

New York is soon 10 enjoy course NJ
lectures which will be part Of the Naval
War College extension, which was insu-
tuted in Washington a week ago and ear
lier at Annapolis. Efforts are on foot 10
secure an appropriate place for the deliv-
cry OF the lectures TO which the public, as
well as army and. navy officers. VIII be
welcomed. and there is some hope that
the auditorium of the New York Yacht
Club can be had II Is felt that these
lectures will afford an opportunity TO the
public TO become acquainted with the
problems Of national defence. that they
will serve to disabusc the public mind OF
many fallacies now prevalent regarding
the navy and its personnel and that they
will present an opportunity OF gaining
much valuable knowledge Of a general cd
ucational character AS has been told in
The Tribune, Senator Lodge has promised
to deliver a lecture on Panama and the
present controversy with Great Britain az
part Of the Washington course. and II
may he that the Senator from MassachI-
sets can be induced to repeat it in New
York. u. q. II.
