WOULD REPEAL HAY
PAUNCEFOTE TREATY
Senator MARITIME Says 1t Interferes with
Too Many American Rights
No Fear of Trade War.

Washington, Oct. l7.-Senator MARITIME
OF New Jersey yesterday urged the Sem
ate to recommend repeal of the Hay.
Pauncefote Panama treaty with Great
Britain on the ground that it inter
feres with too many American rights.
He said he had received many protests
that the tariff bills five per cent ship
ping rebate was violation of the terms
of the treaty. The senator added that
he preferred repeal of the treaty rath-
er than repeal OF the five per cent
rebate in the tariff law and predicted
that the United States would have the
best of the argument if foreign coun-
tries tried TO make commercial reprisals
because OF the five per cent rebate. IF
Germany should elect to try it on us,
he said, ''we would shut off her supplies
OF cotton, copper and phosphates. To
Great Britain we would give the same
medicine. Should South America throw
down the gauntlet we could shut off
their coffee and rubber for little while
and ruin would stare them in the face.
Japan needs our cotton, and besides this
we are her best market. No senator or
citizen wants commercial war or any
other kind of war, but other nations
grant important favors to their indus
tries"

Railroads Failure to Ad-
vance Them Expected to
Bring the Ruling
NEW YORK is
THE COMPLAINANT
Hard Blow at the Foreign
Trade Of New Eng
land Seaport

Washington, Oct. l7.-Failure of the
railroads operating out of Boston to con;
form to the conclusions of the inter
state commerce commission, acting as d
board of arbitration, in the import traf
fic case, probably will result, in the near
future, in definite order putting the
commissions conclusions into effect.
The Boston roads now are charging
lower rates on import traffic to points
west than lines out of New York.
1t has been held by the commission,
and sustained by the supreme court,
that disadvantages of geographical loca
ton cannot be equalized by the making
of lower freight rates from the more
distant point.
It is practically immaterial to the
commission whether the Boston rates
are raised to a parity with the New
York rates or the New York rates are
lowered to the existing Boston scale, ex-
cept that if the New York rates are
lowered, it would necessitate the read
ustment of the west bound import rates
out of Philadelphia and Baltimore.
David o. Ives, traffic manager OF the
Boston Chamber of Commerce. has been
in Washington for two days endeavorins
to obtain some concession that would b.
favorable 20 Bostol.
The likelihood is that, as the only
way out of the present situation, the
commission will issue an order in the
New York case making effective its con-
,lusions as to the whole import rate
question and that its conclusion will ar
feet almost the entire west bound traffic

Testimony Brought Out at
Hearing Before Public
Service Commission
PERIOD OF SERVICE
DURING LEGISLATURE
Since March l No Free Tel.
ephones in Governors Of
flee at the State House

| After being on the stand four days,
during which time he gave detailed
statement of the New England Tel. &
Tel. Co.. Vice President l., X. Hall con-
Guided his testimony last evening, and
| to-day, after short session, the Yer
mont public service commission, before
whom the hearing vas held, adjourned to
later date when the hearing will be
resumed.
One of the most important items in
| Vice President Halls concluding testi-
mony was that the New England COM
pany. its subsidiaries and the various
! independent lines throughout the state
have been furnishing the state of Yer
mont free telephone service at the State
House during Legislative session for Is
wears or more. there being IL telephones
and two booths for toll calls. This
testimony caused somewhat of a stir
at the hearing. He said the companies
bore a proportiosate share OF the ex-
pense. and that the service was asked
for by state officer
Following this admission, Attorney z.
A. Cook for the state caused to be in
serted in the records of the proceed
ings statute of Vermont which says
that all telephones rented for state use
shall be paid for by the state.
Later, Vice President Hall said that
since March ! the phones in the ex-
ecutve chamber and the office of secre-
tary of civil and military affairs had
been paid for. Mr.. Hall knew Of no
reason for the free service accorded the
state except custom and the desire of
state officials to secure saving to the
state.
Mr.. Halls later testimony was as fol-
lows
"The permanent telephone service con.
tracted for and paid for by the state
OF Vermont in this connection is az
follows: Attorney generals office, state
auditors office, secretary of states Of
flee. sergeant-at-a Office, state Ii
brarv. state treasurer's office, superin-
tendent of education's office. and the
board of library commissioners.
''None of the various stations that |
named this morning as having free serv-
ice during the session of the Legislature
had permanent service prior to that
time. nor did they have instruments
permanently installed.
'Since March /, lib, the telephone in
the executive chamber which had free
service from October, 1912. to March l.,
1913. has been retained, and since March
|. 1918, it has been contracted for and
is on permanent and paid basis. The
telephone in the office of the secretary
of civil and military affairs. which had
free service from October, 1912 to March
/, 1918, has, since that date, been con-
tracted for and paid for by the state
purchasing agent.

the junior class at Harvard, has dis
appeared from his room in Gray's hall

sudden departure.
He created sensation at the unlver-

CATHOLIC FUND FOR HUERTA?
Said to Have Secured Loan of $780,
900 in Paris,

Paris, Oct. l7.--Provisional President
Huerta of Mexico has obtained loan
of 100000 in Paris, chiefly, according
to circumstantial reports, through the
influence of the chiefs of the Catholic
party. The Most Rev. Jose Mora, arch
bishop of the state of Mexico, it is I'M
derstood, came to Europe recently part
ly on this account. The loan was, pre-
sumably, on short term bills to be re-
paid out of the proceeds of the unissued
portion of the loan arranged last spring.
