MARYLAND LAWMAkER
IN O'GORMAN'S PLACE
New York Senator Retires from Bank
ing Committee in Favor of
Blair Lee.
MANY OTHER ASSIGNMENTS

Senator James A. O'Gorman yesterday
voluntarily retired from membership on
the Senate Committee on Banking. and
Blair Lee. the new Senator from Mary
land. was given the vacant place. sena-
tor oGorman il well supplied with i'm
portant committee assignments. and this
is assigned as the reason for his relin-
gushing the place on the banking COM
mittee In favor of new Senator.
Senator O'Gorman is chairman OF the
Interoceanic Canals Committee, and a
member Of the Foreign Relations. Immi-
grafton. judiciary, Mapufactures, Naval
Affairs. and Rules Committees.
At the time the currency bill wa.
agreed to in the conference committee
OF the two houses II was current gossip
at the Capitol that the Senator from
New York was dissatisfied with the way
he had been treated In the conference
and was on the point of resigning from
the Banking Comittee. Senator Reed. of
Missouri. was said to be OF the same
mind.
Naturally. Senator O'Gorman's retire.
ment from the Banking Committee re-
vived these rumors, but among his Demo-
cratic colleagues the action OF the Sena-
tor from New York In quitting the Bank
ing Committee at this time was ascribed
to his desire to give way to his new
colleague from Maryland, in view OF the
very generous recognition that had been
given him in the way OF other committee
assignments.

favor any step, however. which may be
necessary TO subject the measures TO a
thorough test OF public opinion.
Bitter complaint was made against the
administration and the leaders in Con-
gress for the failure to give hearings
before the House Banking Committee on
the Federal reserve bill This error Of
omission was corrected In part when the
bill went to the Senate, but much Of the
delay on the measure in the upper House
was caused by criticisms that the inter-
ests affected had not had an opportunity
to offer testimony when the proposed
law was taken up In the first Instance.
The belief prevails here that some busi-
ness men are reluctant to appear volun-
tarily because of a fear that by SO doing
they will be charged with lobbying.
Another reason ascribed for the failure
Of business men to testify on their own
motion is that they are resigned to the
Presidents program. feeling that no
changes will be made.
This Is a mistaken view. While the
House committees doubtless will adhere
in the main TO the principles laid down
in the bills, there are many details that
may be modified IL good reasons can be
shown why changes should be made.

SMITH-LEVER BILL

consideration OF the Smitn-Lever Dill, pro
viding for Federal cooperation with the

work. The bill was not completed
Amendments were adopted increasing tht
total appropriation from s, o00, 900 TO S'se''
oc0. and fixing the annual increase al
$500. 900 instead of $500
Senator Cunmins led a night against
the bill yesterday afternoon on account
Of the basis of apportioning the fund be-
tween the States. He contended that the
South was being given a decided ad-
vantage over the North and West by
making the apportionment dependent On
the proportion of rural population in each
State. Mr.. Cummings suggested that a
wiser and more equitable basis for dis
tributing the fund would be the area of
improved farm lands or the value of farm
products.
Senator Jones offered an amendment
providing that there should be no dis
elimination against negro farmers in ap-
propriating for the college extension
work.

EIGHT ARBITRATION
TREATIES REPORTED
Senate Committee Responds Promptly
to Suggestion Made by Presi-
dent Wilson.
MAY CAUSE LENGTHY DEBATE

The Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions responded promptly yesterday TO
President Wilson's suggestion at the con-
ference Monday night at the White
House that the pending arbitration
treaties be reported to the Senate and
ratified as promptly as possible. BY
vote of IL to ., the committee reported
eight Of the treaties without argu-
ment The two votes in opposition were
cast by Senator O'Gorman, of New York,
and Senator William Alden Smith. CT
Michigan.
It is conceded that there will be con-
siderable debate in the executive sessions
on the treaties before they are ratified.
but there appears to be no doubt OF their
ratification ultimately. The treaties re-
ported were with Great Britain. Japan.
land, and Portugal
The treaties that have not yet come
before the committee, but are expected
to be sent in later are those with China,
Denmark. Mexico, Netherlands, Salvador,
ro-Hungary, Costa Rica. Haiti, Para
quay. Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Uru-
quay, Chile, and Brazil.
The treaty with France already has
been ratified. Senator O'Gorman's prin-
cipal objection to the arbitration treaty
with Great Britain was based on his
urwillingness to arbitrate the question
Of exempting United States coastwise
vessels from Panama Canal tolls. Sem
ator OGorman contended that under the
language of the arbitration treaty the
United States would be compelled to ac-
cede to arbitration Of the question of
tolls.
Several of the members of the commit
tee informed Mr.. O'Gorman that the
canal tolls question would not reach the
stage of arbitration. because the Senate
would pass legislation repeating the act
exempting coastwise vessels long before
the question could come to the point of
arbitration through the usual diplomatic
channels.

IMMIGRATION MEASURE
NCITES THE ORATORS
SABBATH Says Neither Gompers Nor
Secretary Wilson Could Have
Passed by Ii.

The Burnett immigration bill. which has
caused more contention and strife in
Congress than almost any other measure
for the last two years, started on its
way through the House yesterday with
every prospect OF a better reception than
a year ago, when IL was vetoed by Presi-
dent Taft. General debate called forth a
high grade of oratory on both sides of the
proposition to exclude illiterate for
eigners.
Representative Manahan, Of Minnesota,
made the charge that IL Samuel Gompers
and Frank Morrison studied the Burnett
immigration bill from viewpoint larger
than a labor union meeting room they
would be in favor of the bill instead of
against IL.
The proposed immigration law is really
a recodifcation Of existing laws and
regulations to which are added the
much disputed section providing for ex-
aminations into an immigrants literacy.
1t is aimed principally at the Southern
Italians. Congressman stand up for the
bill or oppose II in accordance with the
characters OF the populations Of their
districts The chief opponent in the
House to the bill is Representative Sa-
bath. of Illinois himself a Bohemian inn
migrant, who said that il the bill had
been a law in 1855 he could not have
landed in America.
He also said that Secretary Of Labor
Wilson could not have landed here under
the section requiring that the immigrant
must own SsS and that Samuel Comp
ers. president OF the American Fedora
iion of Labor. would have been excluded.
Representative Konop. Of Wisconsin.
declared that his father and mother
would have been excluded from the port
OF New York under the terms of the pro-
posed Law. Seven hours of general de-
bate in all will be allowed on the bill,
when 1t will be taken up under the free
for all five-minute discussion.
