SENATE To BEAT
TREATY FOR
WATERWAY
Administration Leaders See
st. Lawrence Plan Failure;
Liquor Tax, First Defeat
Nv International News Service


: After suffering the first legisla-
tive setback Of his Administration,
President Roosevelt today faced
certain defeat in the Senate on his
appeal for prompt ratification Of
the st. Lawrence waterway treaty.
Administration leaders planned
to open debate on the treaty this
afternoon. They conceded defeat.
Senator Robinson, the Demo-
cratic leader, said:
81 do not believe we have
enough votes to ratify the
treaty"
A private poll indicated the
treaty advocates might have
trouble in mastering a simple
majority, instead Of the two
thirds required by the ConStitu-
ton for ratification.
Liquor Tax Defeat
Opponents openly declared they
would have a clear majority on
the final ballot.
The Presidents first setback
came when the Senate voted, 40
to 80, to impose penalty taxes on
LIQUOR and wine imports from ma
tions that defaulted on their debt
payments to the United States.
This vote constituted a major
defeat for the Administration, al
though Democratic leaders hope to
reverse it within the next few
days. It served, too, as warning
to the President that the Senate
opposes debt revision.
Party Lines Break
Party lines in the Senate were
shattered in the st. Lawrence
Waterway contest. The opposition
was led by Senator Wagner CD
of New York, close friend Of the
President, who filed minority re
port against ratification from the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee.
Originally Senator Borah (RO
of Idaho led the fight for ratifica'
ton, but Republicans have cooled
against it and the leadership must
now come from the Presidents
own party. The debate was ex
pected to last several days. q.

Metzgar, General Superintendent of the Alaska Juneau. He confirmed, also, the terms of the tender by his own firm. He said he did not care to discuss anything in con- nection with the probable develop ment program at this time, adding when the deal was consummated it would be time to talk about plans for re-opening Perseverance. He did say, however, that it would mean enlargement of the Alaska Juneau's local payroll and general operations.
 P. R. Bradley, President of the Alaska Juneau, and J. D. *Gengler, heavy stockholder in the Alaska Mining and Power Company and also stockholder in the Alaska Ju- neau, are expected to come here shortly in connection with the pending deal, he added They plan to leave Seattle next Saturday morning for Juneau for an in- determinate stay.

year from date. It is further pro- vided that if in the meantime the price of gold declines to point be- low $2700 per ounce, this increase in pay shall cease to be effective.
 Any change of wage required by the adoption of Code for Gold Mining is to be based on the wage before the increase"
 The wage increase, it is unoffi- cially estimated, on the basis of last years expenditure, will add ap- proximately $130000 per year to the company's payroll expenses. These totaled in 1883 about $1,- 100000.
 Miners Ratify Agreement
 The conferences were inaugurated several days ago when representa- tives of the company employees were received by MT. Metzgar for a discussion of wages and other mat sers connected with the operations. They submitted program of wage increases, etc, which were studied few days by the company's of ficials.
 A counter offer was then sub mitted by MT Metzgar for the company. At meetings called for to- day and yesterday by the Alaska Mine Workers Union, a local or ganization formed several weeks ago by employees of the Alaska Juneau, the employees voted by a good majority to accept the com pany's offer.
 Hours Up to Code While there was some discussion of hours of labor, due to the fact that national code for the gold mining industry has been drawn and is now under consideration by the MIRA authorities in Washing ton, it was agreed by both the em- ployees and the company that it would be more satisfactory to leave that question up to the code mak- CTS and the MIRA. All MIRA codes heretofore adopted and approved have featured sections providing for maximum hours of labor as well as minimum labor.
 All of the conferences over the matter, it was declared by both sides. were marked by extreme cor diality and the utmost considera- -tion
 MT. Metzgar said at the time of announcing the agreement this aft ernoon he had not been officially informed of its acceptance. How ever, leaders of the miners organ ization informed representative of The Empire it had been ratified.

shares of it's own stock for one share of the Alaska Mining and Power Company. The offer, it was added, involved 53,802 shares of Alaska Juneau stock, which are worth on current quotations about s1 100000.
 The properties involved embrace the Perseverance mine, Thane with it's docks, warehouses, housing ac- commodations, shops and other equipment, the power plants at Annex Creek and Salmon Creek and power transmission lines. All of this property, except the power plants, has been lying idle since the Alaska Gastineau discontinued operations some 13 years ago.
 Sold at Auction
 Bonds of the original company falling in arrears and defaulting payment of interest payment, made the foundation for a receivershir action filed here two years ago. A receivership was granted and E Gastonguay appointed receiver.
 In August, 1892, at a public auc- tiori held at Thane, the entire holdings were purchased by G. E Cleveland, Assistant Cashier of B M. Behrends Bank, representing creditors who later organized the Alaska Mining and Power Con- p1ly under general mining and power company charter. Since then at various times there have been run1ors that the Perseverance mine was to be reopened and a new mill erected at Thane for resumed op- erations, none of which, however ever materialized.

BANKERS WEIGH.
SERVICE CHARGES
Provisions for New Code
Live Issue at Virginia
Convention.
pecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va, June O.
What and how extensive service
charges should be applied to bank
depositors under the N. r. A. bank
ing code were freely discussed at the
annual convention of the Virginia
Bankers Association held at the
Cavalier Hotel here. While the old
bankers code for fair practices was
suddenly strapped by Gen. johnson
it is understood here that another
code is to be announced soon SO that
the service charge is still a very
live issue
Many Virginia banks are already
carrying service charges and expect
to continue them. Old Dominion
bankers, however, say that great care
must be exercised in the amounts
charged In order to keep their Gus
toners satisfied The banks are ar1x-
ious to wipe out all Improbable busl-
ness, speakers here stating that 1t Is
the best method of dealing with
small but active accounts.
Points to Past Losses.
Carroll Pierce, president OF the
First National Bank of Alexandria,
said to the convention that many
of our banks have been very fearful
lest they should lose many Of their
depositors, but we believe the deposit
ors which the banks may lose have
been a loss to the banks in the past
rather than a profit"
E. B. Spencer. Roanoke. led the dis
cussion Of the establishing of State
clearing house association. w. S.
Irby, Lunenburg, chairman of the
Educational Committee, recommended
that every banker in Virginia speak
before some organization on bank
ing problems during the coming year
in order to keep bankers themselves
better informed.
DR.. Harold Stonier, educational
director of the American Institute of
Banking, urged that banking en-
ployes be given opportunity to widen
their knowledge of banking prin-
ciples and practices in order to deal
with the public more intelligently.
Given A. b. A. Post.
Samuel H. RUNNER, recurring preSl-
dent, was elected first vice president
for Virginia of the American Bankers
Association. r. l. Burke of Alexan-
dria, was elected vice president for
the A. B. A. Of the State bank divi-
sion. John E. Fowler of Rosslyn, was
made a member of the Nominating
Committee for the next A. B. A. an
nual convention, to be held in Wash
ington in October.
E. S. Shields of Farmville, suggested
reduction in interest rates on savings
accounts in Virginia banks, at the
same time opposing competition by
United States Postal Savings.
C. w. Beerbower of Roanoke, ex-
pressed the belief that all code differ
ence IN Virginia banks will soon be
adjusted. The three-day session was
to close late today with election of
officers. Carroll Pierce being slated for
president.
