Roumania must support the central
powers, not only on account OF the
provisions Of the treaty, but also for
the sake of the countrys honor. The
late king regarded as sophistry the
objection that Roumania had not been
influenced in regard to the Austro-
Hungarian demarche in regard to Ser
bia and had not been consulted
about II.

But when the deciding session Of
the crown council was held the aged
king did not succeed as against the
government, whose prime minister,
Notwithstanding treaty obligations,
sympathzed with the entente pow
crs. A short time later the king
died owing to the emotions caused
by the realization that Roumania was
traitor to its allies.
"The Roumanian policy was now
guided by Premier Bratiano, who at
tempted to gain territory without
making sacrifices at the expense Of
party suffering defeat in the war.
The main point was to discover in

late. Nevertheless, during the first

Trade Pacts Not
~ Aimed at America

Washington, Sept. 29.-Baron Yo-
shira Sakatani. former Japanese min
lister of finance, who had charge OF
Japan's financial reconstruction after
the Russo-Japanese war, arrived here
early today for a two days visit to
officials and friends. He is enroute
to Japan from the recent economic
conferences at Paris, looking to a
commercial campaign after the war.
Baron Sakatani deprecated the
alarm expressed. by some American
newspapers over the Paris economic
conference, declaring the United
States was regarded by the allies in
most friendly way and that no move
would be made by them after the war
which would be injurious to Ameri-
can trade. Any action taken, he said,
would be entirely against the pro.
posed German middle Europe trade
alliance.

NEW RATES ON IRON
AND STEEL HELD UP
Proposed Increase in Freight
Tariffs Are Suspended Un-
til January 20.
AFFECTS EXPORT MOST

Washington, Sept. 2o.-Tariffs OF
railroads in the middle west and east
proposing increases Of 7 and 8 cents
per 100 pounds on iron and steel arti-
cles from Chicago, Pittsburgh and
other points to the Atlantic seaboard
and gulf ports for export were sus-
pended today by the Interstate Com
merce commission until January %
pending investigation.
The suspended tariffs would affect
a large volume of the shipments to
European belligerents.
The proposed increases have been
fought by shippers, who commended
they were without justification and
an attempt by carriers to take some
of the profits OF the iron and steel
business. One company estimated
that its loss under outstanding con-
tracts if the advances became effec-
tive would be 100000. The railroads
claimed that they had made a one
third reduction in the past in iron and
steel rates to enable manufacturers
to reach out for foreign business, and
that the roads are now proposing to
restore rates to where they stood
when exceptional conditions caused
reductions.
The Pennsylvania railroad claimed
as one of its reasons for the increase
that it has to enlarge its terminal ia
cilities at New York, Philadelphia
and Boston to handle export trade at
an outlay Of S25,000,00O, and that de-
livery to shipside is more expensive
than to domestic consignees.

MR.. HUGHES SPEAKS
AT BINGHAMTON
Republican Nominee Says No
One Can Tell Where Demo
Party Stands on Tariff.
PROTECTION REAL NEED

Binghamton, N. Y, Sept. o.
Charles E. Hughes motored over
muddy STREETS through the first rain
storm he has experienced since COM
mencing his campaign, August 5, to
address an audience in the opera
house here today.
The strenuous program laid before
him by the national chairman was
vetoed by the nominee himself, who
merely appeared on the rear platform
OF his car so that the crowds might
see him at stations between Saratoga
and Binghamton. 1t had been ar
ranged tc have him speak at these
stations, but at the last moment it
was decided to have other speakers
take his place so that he might con-
serve his voice.
Mr.. Hughes spoke OF the protec-
tive tariff. Il tell you, fellow citi-
zens," he said, I'VE are facing a crit
ical period. 1t is no time to be talk
ing of tariff for revenue only. We
need protection to our industries, and
there is no man in the country today
who can tell you where the demo-
cratic party stands with respect to
protection Of American interests.
1T takes all OF US, too, to make the
United States, and TO make our coun-
try prosperous, and we'll never do it
unless labor and capital work togeth-
er amicably."
The nominee renewed his attack on
the administration for the Adamson
bill. He declared that he would
like to see an eight-hour work day."
but that he stood squarely for inves-
tigation before legislation and would
mot yield an inch either to labor or
capital in that principle.

however. this failed The body was
dropped into the basement and the
head and neck lodged in pool OF
water. The rope which had been
drawn about the neck was preserved.
Mr.. Small, who had left his cottage
on business trip to Boston six
hours before the fire was discovered,
hurried back today to assist the po-
lice In their investigation. He said
his wife was alone in the cottage
when he departed.
Later on his own authority Sheriff
Chandler placed Small under arrest
and held him at local hotel pending
instructions from the county solicit

house made it almost certain that the
measure will go to the senate virtual

recommendation OF the president as
to the size Of the regular army.
The Hay bill carries virtually the
program mapped out by former Secre-

stitutes the liberalization of the ma
