TREATY SCANDAL!
Demand Reprimand for Sen
ator Who Gave 1t Out.
"DishOnorable Act" Declares
Presidents Spokesman.

Washington, Aug. 10.-Investigation
of the means by which confidential
copy of the treaty under which the
United States would acquire the
Danish West Indies for SIS, 060,0 900 be-
came public, was demanded in the
senate today by Senator Stone, chair
man of the foreign relations commit
tee. An abstract of the treaty pub
lished this morning IS believed to have
been made from one of the twenty-five
numbered copies sent to the senate
Tuesday by the state department with
a letter transmitting a request of the
Danish government that the terms of
the convention be withheld until the
two governments agree to promulgate
them. The treaty probably will be
considered by the committee early next
week and the administration is con-
fident that it will be ratified before
the end of this session of congress.
Takes Senators to Task.
1T is hard for me to believe" said
Senator Stone, that any senator in
the United States. would give this
treaty to the public under the circum-
stances. Every senator has a right to
a copy and to go to the executive
clerk and get it. If any senator did.
If he exposed it to the public
he did a dishonorable act and ought
to be disciplined by the senate.
Senator Stone declared he thought

United States to the senate and prints

Borah Defends Publicity.
This dealing with treaties in execu-

Senator Borah. Executive sessions
have become a relic of antiquity and
should be dispensed with. There is
scarcely any treaty that should not
be considered in the open.''
The Idaho senator declared if the
American people had known all of
the circumstances the Nicaraguan
treaty, it never would have been
made.

1t is an established fact that one
half teaspoonful of Rheuma taken
once a day has driven the pain and
agony from thousands of racked, Grip
pied and despairing rheumatics during
the last five years.
Powerful and sure; quick acting, yet
harmless; Rheuma gives blessed relief
almost at once. The magic name has
reached every hamlet in the land and
there is hardly. a druggist anywhere
who cannot tell you of almost mar
yelous cures.
If you are tortured with rheuma-

of Rheuma from III. G. Kennedy or any
druggist for not more than 50 cents.
with the understanding that if 1t does
not completely drive rheumatic poisons
