himself opposed to treaties which might
involve arbitration Of such a dispute as
that now pending with Japan In regard
to the California allen land law. Other
Senators echoed this view. and the Sem
ate was amazed not only by the number
Of members who supported Chamberlain
and Works. but by the frankness Of their
remarks
Impatience was expressed with a policy
Of making with other governments
treaties which obligated the United
States to do something most distasteful
to itself.
1t was then predicted that the arbi-
tration treaty with Japan. II renewed by
Secretary Bryan. would never be ratified
by the Senate. Limited discussion Of the
Japanese issue in the Senate has shown
that that body Is much less sympathetic
with the Japenese contentious than are
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan.
The arbitration treaty, which IL Is pro-
posed to renew. covers exactly such is
gard to the California legislation. Japan
bases her protest largely on the charge
that the treaty rights of the japanese
have been violated. The arbitration
treaty provides that under 1t shall be
arbitrated just such disputes as this,
arising out of the Interpretation or &on-
struction of treaties. Therefore, after
the conclusion of the present discussions,
Japan will be entitled. under the arbi-
tration treaty, to demand that the United
STATE, sumbit the dispute over the Cali
f~rnia law to arbitration.

JAPAN WILLING
TO renew treaty
Bryan First Notifies Nippon
that United States Also
Favors Renewal.
SENATE SEEMS HOSTILE
Little Chance for Present Ratification
Of Any Agreements with For.
eisn Countries.

Secretary of State Bryan announced
yesterday that the government of Japan
had. through its ambassador here, signi-
ned Its Willingness TO renew the arbitra-
tion treaty between the two countries
which expires by Limitation on August a
next. Mr.. Bryan had previously made
known the willingness of the United
States to renew this treaty.
In view of the failure of the British,
spanish, and Italian arbitration treaties
IN the. Senate two weeks ago. owing to
OBJECTIONS on the part OF Senators un-
willing TO submit the Panama Canal tolls
controversy to arbitration, Mr.. Bryan.s
announcement is regarded as creating
a most interesting situation. 1t has been
the opinion in the Senate since the sue
cessful fight against the other arbitration
treaties that none OF the treaties now
being renewed by Mr.. Bryan would be
ratified.
Secretary Bryan said yesterday, how
ever, that he was confident the renewed
arbitration treaty with Japan will be
ratified by the Senate. He bases his con-
viction on the results of talks both he
and President Wilson have had with
Senators who opposed the ratification of
the renewed arbitration treaty with
Great Britain. II became known yester-
day that the object OF one OF President
Wilson's recent visits to the Senate was
to urge certain Senators to cease their
opposition TO the arbitration treaties
Among those he talked with was Senator
Chamberlain Of Oregon. who led the op-
position to the ratification of the British
treaty.
In the debate that attended the at
tempt on two successive days to push
the ratification OF the British arbitra ton
treaty the Japanese controversy was
brought in. Senator Works declared

no less an offense when committed by
combina tons OF labor and of agriculture

of funds above referred to amounts to
a form of absolution from penalty for
violating laws that are left repealed and
unamended on the statute books.

iron AND Steel
CUT BY SENATE
Underwood Metal Schedule
Further Reduced by the
Finance Committee.
FREE LIST IS INCREASED
Lead, Zinc, and Aluminium Come Up
Tomorow-Bill win Be Ready
Wednesday. w

Democratic members of the Senate
Committee on Finance disposed of iron
and steel in the tariff bill yesterday by
making sweeping reductions from the
rates in the Underwood bill. The free
list was increased by additions of iron
and steel products that will reduce the
revenues. il is estimated, by more than
$500 600.
Pig iron, ferro-manganese. steel ingots,
steel billets, slabs, and blooms will be
put on the free list. All of these were
dutiable under the Underwood bill.
The committee followed up this free
listing by making reductions averaging
10 per cent on structural iron and struc-
tural steel
An unsuccessful effort was made to fix
the duties on lead and zinc. These went
over until tomorrow. Most of yesterday
was devoted to the aluminium schedule.
The committee was divided.
Some of the Senators wanted to put
aluminium and its products on the free
list Others insisted that a revenue duty
should be retained. The final conclusion
was in favor of a duty. but it is likely
that specific rates will be substituted
for ad valorem, and that the duties in
the Underwood bill will be reduced on
an average of 10 per cent.

License Docs Not Change Internal
Revenue bureau Attitude.

The request of Gov. Cole L. BIease of
South Carolina that President Wilson
prohibit the issuance of Federal LIQUOR
licenses in South Carolina has been re-
ferred by the President to Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo. Mr. McAdoo, in
turn, has sought the advice of the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue on this
subject
1t was indicated at the Treasury De-
partment yesterday that the Internal
Revenue Service will not change its pol
icy with regard to the issuance of
licenses in South Carolina as a result of
Gov Blease's letter to the President. It
was stated that the government cannot
issue a valid license for the sale of

officials, reached after a study of prevf-
Gus decisions by the Secretary of the

Considered 1t One Of His
Greatest Achievements.

Take Part in 0rsanization
Of Monopoly.

former Ambassador to France. and who
was a member of the firm of j. p. Nor
gan & Co., when the United States Steel
Corporation was formed. today took the
witness stand in the hearing of the gov
ernment suit to dissolve the corporation
under the Sherman antitrust act. and
corroborated the testimony previously
given by Judge E. II. Gary.
Under direct examination by Richard
v. Lindabury, chief counsel for the de-
fense. Mr.. Bacon described the conditions
leading up to the forming of the Steel
Corporation and gave a detailed account
of the attitude taken by ]. P. Morgan
1T that time. Mr.. Bacon said:s
Mr.. Morgan said that under no con-
sideration would he take part In any
thing that was or might be construed
as monopoly or an endesyor to re-
strain competition. 1t was furthest from
his mind to participate in anything of
such a nature. He did not believe the
United States Steel Corporation would
restrain competition in the slightest.
Thought Combine for Good.
Mr.. Morgan believed that II he could
take part in the organization Of the
Steel Corporation 1t would be the crown
ing and greatest achievement of his ca
reer. He believed the perfecting of such
corporation would be a tremendous
benefit to the industrial fabric of the
country
Mr.. Bacon told Of his connection with
the Steel Corporation since its creation,
saying that he resigned from the direc-
torate In 1895. but had since been re-
81
leaving the diplomatic service. In speak
ing Of the purposes of the corporation,
he said:
The first object of the corporation
was to reduce the cost of production
and make it possible to improve the con-
ditions of labor and the lot of the work
men, The second was to enable the con-
sumer to depend upon the stability OF
the prices

The following is Mr.. Douglas epis-
toIary version of the affair:
Wv. H. Wallace, manager Michigan
Sugar Company, Saginaw. Mich-n
Dear Sir: After Mr.. Wilson, address
in the Armory last night had the
opportunity of saying to him that the
people of Michigan interested in the
beet sugar industry stood ready to in
vest millions of dollars more in this
industry, but before doing so we want
his reinsurance toward this legitimate
industry His reply to this question.
which was in a forceful and en-
phatic manner. was: You need not
be one bit afraid of me, sir
Il do not believe that Mr.. Wilson viii
take any step that will annihilate or re-
tard 4 Iegimate industry. He impressed
me with his earnestness in this.
Il am giving you this thinking it may
be of some comfort to US who do not
know whether to invest our money fur
ther or lock it up. Very truly yours.
H. A. DOUGLAS"
The White House declined to comment
on the letter of A. J. Douglas, relative
to a conversation at Detroit between the
writer and Woodrow Wilson on the beet
sugar industry.
The stand was taken by White House
officials that the testimony is that of
an interested party, and. therefore, re-
ouired no defense on the part of the
President.
A witness called in the early period
OF Yesterdays session was John H. Car
roll. St Louis attorney. who is one
of the legal representatives of the Hill
railway system. Mr.. Carroll told the
committee that his only tariff activity
had consisted in filing a brief on behalf
of the Great Northern and C., B. & Q.
Railroad Company. dealing with creo-
sote oil. Mr.. Carroll denied that the
Hill lines maintained n lobby in Wash
ington. permanent or otherwise.
Anselm Void. printing clerk in the Of
fee of the secretary of the Senate, was
called to the stand to relate some of
the circumstances surrounding the print
ing of Sugar at a Glance as a Sem
ate document His testimony tended to
show that there had been irregularities
in the method of bring out this publica-
ton. but it consisted chiefly in the fact
that Senator Lodge had delegated to
Truman G. Palmer, leader of the beet
sugar representatives here, the work of
preparing the document for the press.
Mr. Void could throw no light on the
authorship Of the order upon which the
publication was made a public docu-
ment.
