Strict Enforcement of New
Merchant Marine Act
Will Abrogate Treaties
With at Least Ten Nations
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31 Examina
tion by the state department of com
mercial treaties to which the United
States i3 a signatory has revealed that
between 24 and 27 of such pacta may
have to be abrogated under the new
marchant marine act, it was said to
night by department officials.
Section 34 of the merchant marine
act requires the president within 90
days, or by September 3, to give formal
notice to foreign governments having
commercial treaties with the United
States that the American government
intends to revoke any claims of the
conventions which prevent the giving
of preferential treatment to Americans
or American ships. Officials expressed
the belief today that entire abrogation
of the treaties would result from the
notice of the president, as it is not
thought that other nations will con
sent to the amendment of treaties in
order -to enable the Vnited States to
discriminate against their own com
merce and shipping.
Although considerable doubt exists
as to the precise intent of congfcss as
expressed in the merchant marine act
no account of the radical consequences
which must result in the strict carry
ing out of section 34, there are ten
treaties which ae conpidered as speci
fically falling within the provisions of
the statute which probably will have
to be abrogated. AHnough the state
department has not made public the
list of affected treaties, the ten con
ventions which are expected to be ter
minated are known to include those
with Belgium, ratified March 8, 1875;
Bolivia. May 13, 1858; Costa Rica, July
10, 1851; Denmark, April C6, 1826;
Great Britain, July 3. iSla; Honduras,
July 4, 1864; Italy, February 26, 1871;
Netherlands. August 2H, 1852; Norway,
July 4. 1S27; Paraguay, February 4,
1S59 : Serbia, October 14, 1881; and
Spain, July 3, 1902. In the case of all
however, 12 months notice must be
given of the intention to abrogate
There are also about 12 or 15 other
treaties about which some question ex
ists as to whether their provisions con
travert the merchant marine act.

Houston Editor
Is Barred from
Galveston Zone
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
HOUSTON, Tex, Aug. 31. Gen.
J. F. Walters, in command at Gal
veston, which has been under mar
tial law as a result of strikes, today
formally expressed regret and con
demned the action of military po
lice in seeking to arrest outside the
military zone G. V. Sanders, a
Houston editor, last night.
Continuing, the statement says:
'I want to say, however, that
when the editor of the Press puts
his foot in-Galveston he will be im
mediately arrested. We have full
authority to rft so and have au
thority to go to the extent of ar
resting him In Houston if we should
see fit. Whether we will take that
step or merely suppress the circu
lation of his paper in Galveston, I
cannot say.
' appreciate free press, I know
the value of the freedom of the
press, but when newspapers de
scend to criminal libel and print
incendiary articles, their editors
should be held responsible, busi
ness men of Galveston tell me that
there is no use of arresting some
man who tries to start insurrection
by speeches on the streets if I per
mit the circulation of literature in
that citythat incites riot and mur
der. It must be stopped; it will be
stopped.''
A charge of false imprisonment
was filed in justice court here to
day by Leon Siler, city editor of the
Houston Press, against Lieuts. J.
A. Dempsey, R. E. Abbott and J. R.
Smith of the Texas national guard.
The complaint charges them with
illegally restraining G. V. Sanders,

FOB HEM LOSS
IN SUGAR MARKET
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
NEW YORK. Aug. 31. Whether the
price of sugar after its quick decline
of last week has reached bottom or is
due for further drops was the subject
of conjecture today among dealers,
some of whom are said to stand to
lose hearily if additional breaks
occur.
The coneemfc.13 of opinion among
traders was that many heavy losses
were not to be expected. All agreed
that profits would be materially cur
tailed and in nome cases would have
to be foregone completely to avoid
more serious consequences should les
sened demand force the market still
lower.
'Vhe bottom fell out of the market,"
one. large dealer said today shortly af
ter the demand for domestic consump
tion and export fialed to absorb huge
quantities of sugar which poured in
from nearly every country, including
China, Japan and Central European
points such as the Balkans and Czech
Slovakia. From a high of over 25 cents for re
fined sugar, the price gravitated rapid
lv to 17. with frequent offerings at
15 cents from speculators who feared
the end of the decline had not been
reached.
Todav one refinery yled to con
tinued pressure, cutting to 1 per cent
for fine granulated, or one cent under
other refineries and about eight cents
below highest nrioes of the summer.
The best bid for Cuban raw suear
was S cents cost and freight. The
early summer high for the came com
modity was 25 cents.
A general unsettling of the trade
with a return to profit scales of two
years ago would be the most noticeable
consequences, it was predicted.

TENNESSEE DOTE
ON RATIFICATION
IS RESCINDED BY
SITE ASSEMBLY
Tennessee House Votes to
Expunge All Record of
Ratification From Official
Journal
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
NASHVILLE. Term., Aug. 31 The
Tennessee house of representatives,
with a quorum present for the first
time since Aug. 20, expunged from its
journal today all record of ratifica
tion of the federal suffrage amendment
and voted, 47 to 24, with 20 not voting,
to non-concur in the action of the sen
ate in ratifying the amendment.
Governor Roberts, upon being noti
fied of the house's action, declined to
make any statement other than to say
that the situation could only be dealt
with in a legal manner and was in the
hands of Attorney General Thompson.
The latter, in a letter read on the
house floor during discussion of the
matter of reconsidering the vote, ex
pressed the opinion that reconsidera
tion of the resolution of ratification
was impossible since the house already
had adopted it and Governor Roberts
had certified to Secretary of State
Colby this action by both house and
senate.
State officials and members of the
legislature expressed the belief tonight
that legality or illegality of the ratifi
cation would be decided upon the rec
ord certified to Washington by Gov
ernor Roberts and not on the action
taken today.
Shortly after the house convened it
became evident that the anti-ratifica-tionists,
a majority of whom have been
in Alabama on a filibuster fo- more
than a week, were in the majority,
through failure of tveral of the suf
frage members to arrive in time. With
clock-like program the antis proceeded
to put througii their pian of attempting
to undo what was done Aug. 21, when
ratification was accomplished.
The itrst step was the motion to ex
punge from the journal of that day all
reference to the proceedings on the
suffrage ratification. After this was
carried, 47 to 37, with six not voting,
motion was made and carried that a
certiifed copy of the resolution, the
original of which is in the hands of the
senate, be spread upon the journal.
Representative Riduick, floor leader
of the ratificationists, made the point
of order that the resolution was out
of the hands of the house and now a
part of tho- federal constitution through
proclamation of Secretary Colby. He
was overruled by Speaker Walker.
The house by a viva voce vote then
adopted a motion to reconsider its
previous action upon the resolution.
Motion then was made and carried to
non-concur in the action of the senae
in ratifying the ratification resolu
tion. Anti-ratificationists would not state
tonight whether they expect to make
an effort to have the . senate, which
voted to ratify, 25 to 4, reverse its
action.
Washington Not Concerned
WASHINGTON ,Aug. 31. State de
partment officials in the absence of
Secretary Colby tonight hesitated to
express an opinion as to the effect on
suffrage ratification of the action of
the Tennessee house in reconsidering
its vote on the ratification resolution
and then voting not to concur in the
senate's ratification.
L The situation, it was said, however,
was one with which the state depart
ment was not at present concerned.
The action of Secretary Colby in pro
claiming the suffrage amendment a
part of the constitution was based on
a certification by the governor of Ten
nessee as required by law. According
ly, it was said, unless the governor
should rescind his ratification or un
less the certification should be de
clared invalid by the courts, the state
department had no interest in the mat
ters. Suffrage leaders in Washington did
not regard the Tennessee situation as
serious, declaring that the best legal
advisers had informed them that once
ratification was voted by a state legis
lature the vote could not be reversed
except in case congress presented to
the states a resolution to repeal the
amendment.
Many, anti-suffragists claimed that
the legal tangle in which Tennessee's
ratification has become involved would
undoubtedly be made more complex by
the action. 1

Big 5 Packers
Would Dispose
of Stockyards
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. Ulti
mate ownership of the great stock
yards by livestock dealers and
producers is proposed by the "big
five" meat packing companies in a
plan for disposition of their yard
holdings filed today in th Dis
trict of Columbia supreme court.
Sale of the packer interests in
the stockyards was necessitated
by a recent court decree compelling
the packing companies to divest
themselves of all ownership of
yards, terminal railways and mar
ket newspapers.
An option of sale cf the packer
stockyards interests to A. F. Prince
and company, Boston capitalists,
was made a part of the record
filed here. The Boston company is
obligated, under its option, to take
over the entire interest of the "big
five" in 15 important market
places. Ths company proposes for
mation of a holding company
which will offer its securities to
persons who produce and sell live
stock and will provide these per
sons with representation in the
management of the properties.
The packer interest comprises
approximately 152,000 shares of
stock in the 15 yards. Their value
is estimated at from $30,000,000 to
$40,000,000. .
Government officials, however,
have not finally agreed to the plan
and have until Sept. 28 to file ob
jections. Counsel for the packers
were granted permission -by the
court to change or amend their
proposal at any time prior to Sept.
21. The plan will be argued finally
before Oct. 7.
POLITIWiSllE
' BUSY SESSDI ST
OHIO STATE Fl
COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 31 Governor
J. M. Cox and Ir. Aaron S. Watkins,
two of Ohio's presidential candidates,
and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Governor
Cox's running mate, divfded time in
addressing n crowd at the Ohio state
fair hee today.
Governor Cox, Voicing the Demo
cratic party's stand on the league of
nations, declared for the league and
criticised the plan put forth by Sen
ator Harding, Ohio's thi'rd presidential
candidate, in his recent speech.
Mr. Watkins, pronibition presidential
candidate, criticised ooth the plans
sponsored by his two opponents and
also criticised both the Republican and
Democratic parties for not taking a
stand on proh Hnou. which he declared
to be the parse nte. -- r istKt-e. -
Mr. Roosevelt spoke very briefly of
agricultural progress made by the
west. He left tonight for New York.
Earlier in tho day Governor Cox had
issued a statement replying to testi
mony offered :y Will H. Hays, chair
man of the Republican national com
mittee, before the senate sub-committee
investigating campaign expendi
tures in which the governor declared
as "absolutely untrue and false-' Hays'
alleged assertion that it was the policy
of the Republican committee to hold
campaign contributions o $1,000 each.
Governor Cox based his assertion on
what purported to be an official docu
ment issued by the Republican com
mittee, and which, he 6tated, showed
that subscriptions was to be sought in
excess of $5,000.
In his discussion of the league of na
tions in his state fair speech, Governor
Cox made reference to approval of the
plan recently announced by Senator
Harding, by Viscount Grey, former
'foreign secretary of Kngland.
"Well," the governor said, "we are
not going to permit Viscount Grey or
any other English statesman to write
our agreement. We are not for an
English league. We are for a world
league of nations."
Previously Governor Cox had .spoken
of the suffering and misery in Russia,
Germany, Austria and other European
nations, asserting that things would
start toward normal as soon as a. defi
nite indemnity had been fixed for Ger
many to pay. England and France, he
asserted, were divided on the amount
of indemnity and it would require the
voice of America to decide the contro
versy. "1 may surprise you," Governor Cox
said, "when I say that the people all
over Germany are hoping and praying
that the voice of America will be
asserted in the international affairs of
the world and that America will cast
the deciding vote and determine what
that indemnity ought to be."
Dr. Watkins declared the league of
nations should not have been made a
part of the peace treaty, but, he assert
ed, the time is at hand for a real, not
nominal nor pretended league of na
tions."
lie declared there will be a league of
nations and that the United .States
will be a party to it, adding: "It only
remains a question of what kind of
league and what shall be our attitude
towards it, but the league when it
takes its final form, will be made in
time of peace and will not be used
as a club to be waved over the heads
of legislatures to compel action on a
treaty designed to end present condi
tions and bring peace for the time
being."

HARDING FOR CONSERVATION
G. 0. P. GOVERNORS MEET LEADER
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
MARION, Aug. 31 The Roosevelt
policy ol conservation to develop the
west and insure an adequate food sup.
ply was alvocated by Senator Harding
today in a speech to a delegation of
Republican governors.
The Republican nominee also sug
gested that many former soldiers might
be provided homes in the undeveloped
western country and declared tho
duties of reclamation and development
rested both on federal and state au
thorities and on public as well as pri
vate financing.
Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illi
nois, who was a leading candidate for
the Republican presidential nomination
at the Chicago convention, was spokes
man of the delegations of governors
and in a fipeech praised the "dignity
and self-restraint" with which the
senator had conducted his campaign.
He also voiced a hope that Republican
victory would insure a fuller measure
of co-opera rtott between the federal
and state governments, and in f espouse
Senator Harding pledged himself to
exert his influence to prevent "en
croachments on the several states cf
the union."
Drawing an analogy between pres
ent conditions and those following the
civil war, the candidate declared his
conviction that many former soldiers
would be glad to help open the unset
tled regions of the west as a reward
for their services to their country.
He asserted that peril to the nation
would result unless there were greater
development of argiculture in com.
parison to the growth of the city popu
lation. "It was against profligacy," he said,
"that Roosevelt raised his voice and
exercised the veto power. He started
the great reclamation movement.
Roosevelt performed a great service
to the nation and what he did for his
time we must carrv forward to the
future."
Senator Harding alo declared that
in its conservation policy the govern
ment must guard against private mon
opoly but said he had "no particular
preference" between the employment
of private capital and public funds to
attain the highest productivity of nat
ural resources. He asserted that the
country needed a resumption of Re
publican conservation program inaug
urated by Roosevelt, but "neglected
since 1913."
Eight Republican governors and sev
eral Republican gubernatorial nomin
ees were in the delegation which in
cluded besides Governor Lowden,
Governor Sproul, Pennsylvania; CSood
H'eh, Indiana, Beeekman, Rhode Island;
Stephens, California; Campbell, Ari
zona; McKelvie, Nebraska and Town
send, Delaware. After the nominees
address at the Harding front porch, the
entire party were guests at a G. A. II.
picnic at a Marion park and most of
the visitors made short speeches.

Special to The Republican)
MARION, Ohio, Aug. 31. The -idea
devt-loped in Arizona, and enthusiasti
cally adopted hy the republican na
tional committee, that there should be
a governor's day at Marion and thus
give senator Harding . fitting oppor
tunity to speak direct ly to trta West
on the subject of reclamation, and to
the furtherance of which Governor
Campion had given much attention,
was today brought to splendid fruit'a
tion in one of the most notable events
of the campaign. Some eighteen gov
ernors were in attendance and they,
with a large audience of applauding
citizens wrrr addressed by Senator
Harding in a carefully prepared and
exceptionally forceful speech which
throughout was an unqualified en
dorsetnent of the policy of national re
clamation. The senator paid an eloquent tribute
to Theodore Roosevelt for making re
clamation a policy of the republican
party. The speech throughout dis
played the senator's rrmnrkaWv inti-rri-fe
knowledge of the whole subject,
his wide vision of the future of the
West, his deep feeling of sympathy
for western aspirations and his deter
mination if elected president to carry
forward vigorously with the help of
congress the great work of reclamation
which Roosevelt set in motion and
which lias been halted during the
Wilson administration. He was es
pecially forceful in his argument
against that narrowness exhibited In
some sections which would oppose fur
ther reclamation of arid lands because
of the supposed completion of their
products with the productions of older
farming regions.
He pointed out that It is duty of the
government to furnish opportunities
for the soldiers of the great war to find
homes and to furnish opportunities for
the young men whose fathers, follow
ing the civil war found their great
chance to found homes in the prairie
states.
Roosevelt himself never made a more
forward looking progressive speech nor
a speech which sounded a higher note
of lofty patriotism and of that national
duty, it will be recalled by the older
residents of Arizona that when Presi
dent Roosevelt led his farty to adopt
the policy of reclamation, it was after
he had encountered the opposition of
Uncle Joe Cannon. A notable inci
dent following the close of Senator
Harding's address was a hearty band
shake from Uncle Joe, who is now
eighty-four years old, and who came
over from DanvUle, Illinois especially
to attend tho meeting. Taking Hard
ing's hand he said, "Weil Senator ! Am
With You."
The senator was of course warmly
congratulated by every governor pres
ent and their comment was that it
was the profound speech of a reat
ytaie.-man. Governor Lowden of Illi
nois, who made the presentation speech
on behalf cf tho visiting governors, had
made a strovg point of the fact that in
iceeiit years tho country had had much
experience with the government's oper
ations, but experienced little cooper-,

Republican A. P. Leased Wire
CHICAGO, Aug. 31. Republican fi
nances were again under scrutiny of
the senate committee investigating
campaign expenditures today. Will
il. Hays, Fred Upham and other party
leaders found occasion for further de
nial of Governor James M. Cox's
charges that a $15,000,000 fund was
being raised and also offered the com
mittee leads directed toward the Jf m
ocratic coffers. . , . ..: - . . , ..
Mr. Upham, a tt'',ig'jrer- r " th ." '
publican national or.unltti pihi.
tioned at great !er4;lh Ly, . " i -Pomerene
and Reed, Democrats,- who
elicited from him information that tho
congressional and senatorial campaign
committees of the party had budgets
totalling $700,000, in addition to tha
more than $3,000,000 budget appearing
in Chairman Hays' testimony yester
day. At Senator Reed's request, Mr.
Upham read a table of state eiuota
which the witness said he made up 14
months befo.-e Senator Harding was
nominated. This table totalled $4,491, 50
but Mr. Upham explained that he had
no hope or desire to collect more than
$3,000,000 of this amount.
Upham Remains Firm
Senator Reed delved deeply Into th
amounts assigned counties, cities, and
other Jocal sub-divisions of tha party
organization but did not shake Mr.
Upham's declaration that he had na
knowledge of the city quota list which)
Governor Cox read in a recent epeecb,
at Pittsburg. The questioning by th
Missouri senator finally led to the point
where Mr. Upham said he did not know
much of the various state o,uotas was
assigned to particular localities. He
said h knewf of only t'ro city financial
directors of the party, one each in Chi
cago and New York, but he "hoped
there were a lot more."
"I never saw a quota for any city Iti
the United States," said Mr. Upham.
"I assigned only the states rjuotas and
how these were sub-divided by t.h
state organizations was onne of my
affair."
"No, but you are responsible for thftn
in law, tact and conscience no long na
tt'ese sub-divisions were made by
agents of jour committee and ho lon
as then" agents did notnln? criminal in
carrying out your syr.fem," rejoined
Senator Reed.
Upham Would Stop City Quotas
Senator Reed then argued that then
was no way to limit the amounts that
might be collected in any one Ft.tto
and Mr. Upham retorted that he would
"stop ;hem before they got to $3,000,
000." Mr. Upham agreed with Senator
Pomerene that it was both possible
and probable that large sums would be
ralfed in industrial centers by either
party of which the national officers of
the party would have no knowledge.
The witness said no one knew what
amounts would be expended by county
organizations and then, reverting to tho
list of 61 cities which Governor Cox
used, he said he had never heard a
statement that only four copies of thi.l
list were made.
Mr. Upham turned over a complete
file of the treasurer's Official Bulle
tins to which Governor Cox also re
ferred. Senator Reed pointed out dis
crepancies between some items in tho
Bulletin and the list of state receipt.-?
(riven the committee by Mr. Upham.
The latter opinioned that the language
of the Bulletin, which he said vva.s de
signed to encourage the field workers,
might be taken as a manifestation cf
good salesmanship, over enthusiasm,
or "just plain buif." i
Wanted Popular Subscription
Under questioning by Chairmaa
Kenyon. Republican, of Iowa, Mr. Up
born said that the list of more than
30.000 contributors which he turned
over to the committee represented th
"double purpose to popularize the
campaign fund and at the name tim
get raanv stockholders, knowing that
stockholders would vote the ticket." Ha
said there had been no contributions
from large interests and when the 1904
situation was recalled by Senator
Kenyon,' he remembered that Ms m.
Ryan and Belmont of New York were
supposed to have given about $500,000
each to the Democratic campaign fund
of that year.
"IJo you think that the numerous
farmers and small business men in
little towns who have contributed to
this year's fund as little as a dollar or
