Treaty Was Unexpectedly Withdrawn
on Motion of Chairman Stone—Sub
stlute Pact Will Is Submitted at
Extra Session.
Washington.—The sgecisl Senate
session which began March 6 adjourn
ed sine die after Democratic leaders
had secured confirmation of most of
the 1,400 nominations which failed at
the last session, and had despaired of
attaining ratification of the $26,000,000
Colombian treaty.
The treaty was snezpectedly with
drawn on motion of Chairman Stone
of the Foreign Relations Committee.
Its provisions for payment of Indem
nity to Colombia for the partition of
Panama and its ezpreasion of regret
for the ill-feeling srlsing out of that
Incident had encountered stubborn
Republican opposition which convinc
ed the Democrats there was ng chance
of ratification. It is ezpected a sub
stitute pact will be submitted during
the eztra seslon of Congress beginning
April 16.
The session Just closed was the
"first of its kind in many years which
was not called upon to confirm a
cabinet nomination. Preeidsnt Wilson
decided that all of the members of his
official family could be retained with
out the formality of renominatlon.
Among the hundreds of nomina
tions confirmed, only one met with
pronounced opposition. It was that
of Dr. Cary T. Grayson, president's
naval aide and physician, to be a rear
admiral. No action was taken on ths
nominations for ths tariff oommisston
made this week.
The outstanding achievement of the
session was the senate's quick re
sponse to President Wilson's plea for
a change In rule to limit debate and
prevent In the future, such filibusters
as that which killed the armed neu
trality bill.
PRESIDENT WILS MAKES
APPEAL TO PREVENT STRIKE.
"Country's Safety Makes Settlement
Ifperative."—President's Appeal to
Prevent Railroad Strike.
Washington.—-President Wilson late
Friday Bent a personal appeal to the
representatives of the two sides In
the railroad controversy urging that
they do everything postble to co-oper
ate with the mediation committee.
The President's appeal follows:
"I deem It my duty and right to ap
peal to you In this time of nattonal
peril to open again the questions at
Issue between the railroads and their
operatives with a vlsw to accommo
dation or settlement.
"With my approval, a committee of
the Council of National Defense Is
about to seek a oonference with you
with that end In view.
"A general Interruption of the rail
way traffic of the country at this time
would entail a danger to the nation
against which I have the right to enter
my most solemn and earnest protest.
"It Is now the duty of every patrio
tic man to bring matters of this sort
to Immediate accommodation. The
safety of the country against manifest
perils affecting Its own peace and the
peace of the whole world makes ac
commodation absolutely Imperative
and seems to me to render any other
choice or action Inconceivable."
The President's message was sent to
Ellsha Lee, chairman of the confer
ence commltee of railroad managers;
L. E. Sheppard, acting head of the
oonductors; W. O. Lee, head of the
trainmen; W. S. Stone, grand chief
of the engineers, and W. 8. Carter,

Chief Justice Delivers Opinion.
Washington.—ln an epochal decision
holding congress to be clothed with
any and all power necessary to keep
open the channels of Interstate com
merce, the supreme court dividing Ore
to four, sustained the Adamson law
as constitutional and enforceabls In
every feature.
The Immediate effect of the decision
will b« to flz a permanent eight-hour
basic day In computing wage scales on
Interstate railroads, for which a na
tionwide strike twice has been threat
ened and to give, effective from Janu
ary 1 this year, increases in wages to
trainmen of about 26 per cent, at a
cost to the railroads estimated at from
140,000,000 to (60,000,000 a year.
The court, thrpugfc Chief Justice
White, declared both carriers . and
their employes, engaged in a 'busi
ness charged with a public interest,
subjsct to the right of congress to
compulsorlly arbitrate a dispute af
fecting the operating of that business.
"Whatever would be the right of an
employe engaged in private business
to demand such wages as he desires,
to leave the employment If he does
not get them and by concert of action |
to agree with others to leave on the
sams condition," said the opinion, "such
rights are necessarily subject to lim
itation when an employment is accept
ed in a business charged with a pub
lic Interest and to which the power i
to regulate'commerce by congress ap
plied and the resulting right to flz in
case of disagreement and dispute a
standard of wages as we have seen ,
necessarily obtained."
In delivering the opinion, the chief
Justice departed at this point from
his written text to emphasize the posi
tion of men operating trains in a time
of national emergency by comparing
them to soldiers facing an enemy.

Ssttlsmsnt Early Mondsy Morning
Nullifies Ordsr for Four Hundred

Nsw York.—An official of ths con
ference committee of railroad mana
gers announced at 11:46 o'clock Mon
day morning that the railroad strike
was off.
A few minutes after the announce
ment wa smade, the railroad mana
gers wsnt from the Grand Central Ter
minal tt> the conference hotel and
were Joined Immediately by the medi
ators. They refused to make any state
ment on the way to the meeting room.
It was presumed the announcement
would be made through Secretary
Lane- -
Ths mediators and managers were
believed to be awaiting the arrival of
the brotherhood chiefs, itrho had re
tired, before making the announce
ment that the strike had been averted.
The brotherhood men arrived at the
hotel at 1:20 o'clock and Immediate
ly went to the conference room.
The managers left the conference
room at 80' clock, but the brotherhood
chiefs remained In conference with the
mediators. It wss learned that Daniel
Wlllard, one of the mediators had In
formed the hotel management that he
would give up his rooms.
Statsmsnt by Lsns.
The managers, headed by Ellsha
Lee, returned to the conference room
at 2:30 and Secretary Lane sent for
the newspapermen. Secretary Lane
issued this statement:
"Regardless of ths decision of the
Supreme Court on the Adamson law
ths basic eight-hour dsy will go Into
effect."
"The details are being worked up
on by a Joint committee which will
have Its negotiations completed by
noon," Mr. Lane said.
The conference committee of rail
road managsrs early this morning
authorised President Wilson's media
tors to make whatever arrangements
were necessary with ths railroad
brotherhoods to call off ths threatened
strike.
The formal letter In which thi« au
thorization was made signed by Elliha
Lee, chairman of the managers' com
mittee, was as follows:
"In the national crisis precipitated
by events of which we heard this after
noon, the national conference commit
tee of railroads joins with you In the
conrlctlon that neither at home nor
abroad should there be tear or hope
that the efficient operation of the rail
roads of this country will be hamper
ed or Impaired.
"Therefore you are authorized to
assure the nation there will be no
strike, and as a basis for such assur
ance, we hereby authorize the com
mittee of the Council of National De
fense to grant the employes who are
about to strike whatever adjustment
your oommltee deems necessary to
guarantee uninterrupted and efTldent
operation of the railroads as an Indis
pensable arm of national defense."
The decision reached by the mana
gers at their midnight conference
means that the brotherhoods have
won an important victory, although
It does not bring them all their origi
nal demands. By the agreement, It
Is assumed they will be swarded pro
rata time for overtime on the basic
eight-hour day which they have been
assured.

Senator Stone a Disgrace.
Cor. of The Gleaner.
Washington, D. C., Mwch 12. —
It baa been many years since a
Senator has made bis name -a
synonym of national shame as
Senator Stone (Dem.) of Missouri
and LaFollette (Rep.) of Wiscon
sin, did in the closing days of
Congress. These two men are the
ones who prevented the law from
passing authorizing President Wil
son to arm merchant vessels which
carry onr goods to foreign coun
tries. Senator Stone evidently
felt more concerned about the
Prussians he represented in Mis
souri ind JjiFollette about those
he represented in Wisconsin than
ihey did about the true Ameri
cans. Not only is there an over
whelming demand for the removal
of the loathsome and disgusting
Stone from the Chairmanship of
the Foreign Relations Committee,
but Stone and LaFollette es
pecially and possibly Umnna of
N. D., and CumininKs of lowa
nhould be kicked out of the Senate
without ceremony. These men
have disgraced and dishonored
themselves to pnt it mildly Sena
tor Walsh of Montana, in refer
ring to the matter last week *aid,
"It is not inconceivable that the
obstructionists filibusters—may
be actuated by traitorous senti
ments. The revolution had its
Arnold. I trust that I offeud no
sensibilities iu referring to the
fact that in 18(il ten or mem
bers of this body (the Senate) were
expelled for treason."
Aotlqutted Senate H u lea.
Under the rules of the Senate a
vote on a measure cannot be taken
as long as a Senator desires to
speak on it. Under this provision
when 80 out of the 90 Senators
desired to pass the bill authoriz
ing President Wilson to arm mer
chant vessels, they were prevent
ed from doing so by William J.
stone of Missouri and Robert M.
LaFollette of Wisconsin and a few
others. These two Senators have
made their names so odious to the
American public that they' will
probably be hissed and rotten
eg. Ed whenever they show their
abominable and loathsome faces
to the pnblic again. They seem
to be representing the barbarism
and savagery of Berlin and every
thing else that the lawless Prus
sian Kaiser stands for r.jther than
represent the ; r Slates which sent
them here.
The Senate is now busy dis
cussing a measure which will shut
off debate whenever anyone at
tempts to talk a measure to death
as Senators StOne and
did hi the closing days of Con
gress. The United States Senate
ha- made itself ridiculous many
limes in the past by allowing a
handful of Senators to kill a meas
ure by talking it to death and
thereby preventing a vote, which
would overwhelmingly patis if a
vote were permitted. The furious
Htonn of indignation which has
swept over the country will un
doubtedly cause a change in the
Senate rules which will prevent a
repetition of the disgraceful con
duct in the Senate last week.

THANKS TO SANITATION FOR
BOYS RETURN.
Few Deaths From Preventable Dis
eases—Modern Sanitation
Responsible
Everybody has a welcome home
for the boys from the border.
Vi hile some faces will be missing,
says the State Hoard of Health,
there is one big fact to be grateful
for and that is that almost all of
the boys are returning 011 account
of the saving grace of modern
sanitation. Tliew* figures pub
lished in the University News Let
ter illustrate to what extent mod
ern sanitation Ims been effective
in keeping down diseases and
preveuting deaths among the
border troops.
"111 8 months of 1898 there were
20,926 cases of typhoid with '2,198
deaths among a total of 147,7115
regular and volunteer troops; in
live and a half months of r.ilo
there were only 24 ea*esof typhoid
with 110 deaths among u total of
170,000 regular and volunteer
troops. Among the r ignlaTs nor
a single tnau that bad been vac
cinated against typhoid within the
past three years developed ihis
disease. Among the volunteers,
however, there wore 14 cas s
among men who had been or were
supposed to have been bo vacci
nated. In lUKi there wore 8 death
front dysentery as compared with
several hundred in 18II8."
While perhaps compulsory vac
cination was largely responsible
forTlie little typhoid fevor. says
the Board, there wore other sani
tary measures enforced that pre
vented diseases. Mosquito net
ting used at night keplolT malaria
and yellow fever; shower baths
and washlubs with plenty of soap
and water coupled with the strict
est kiud of orders kept off typhus
fever and skin diseases; the pre
vention of breeding places for
flies and the use of Altered wat r
together with the burniug or
burial of all excreta greatly re
duced from sickness typhoid and
dysentery.
And y-'t the reports are, says
the Hoard, that while sickness
wa* reduced to a minimum on this
side the line, 011 the other side
raged smallpox, typhus and yel
low fever, while typhoid, malaria
and other communicable diseases
everywhere existed.

builder must observe three funda
mental requirements:
1. The first requirement Is that the
culvert must be so placed Unit It will
drain across the road, and umler the'
road, of course, all the water that Is
delivered to it by the side ditch a|ong
the road. If tills he not done, the
earth along the road and about the
end of the culvert will be wet anil
soggy the most of the year and the
culvert opening will require almost
constant repairs. Repairing a high
way culvert Is relatively more ex
pensive than similar work In a town
because of the waste of time of the
workmen In to and from the
point at which the work must be done.
In placing the culvert care must also
be taken thut It will not be choked
by brush and leaves, and this duty
must be discharged by the road super
visor, and will be. If he Is worth his
salt.
2. The second and very Important
requirement lu the building of a cul
vert Is that Its ends must be protected
by some kind of a wall or facing car
ried down to a Arm foundation. If
this be done, It will be found that the
end of the culvert will not be under
cut by the water nnd will not be
broken, frost will not Injure It, the
surrounding or superincumbent earth
will not slide down Into the ditch in
front of the opening, and, with the
further necessary work of keeping the
feeding ditches clear, the culvert will
lie libit* to take care of all the water
ulongslde the road.
:i. The third requirement lif thnt the
culvert iimnt be made so strong that
li will not become broken and so tight
Unit It will riot leak. These ends can
bo reached by building the culvert of
masonry, concrete or of good piping.
The material to be used must be de
termined by the relative cost of the
several materials at the locality
where the culvert Is to be built end
by the distance from the top of tilt
culvert lo the burfaca of the road.
REDUCE EXPENSE OF HAULING
Improved Roads Put Farmer In Poel
tlon Where He Can Oo to Market
Every Day In Year.
Permanent road building costs
money, nnd it Is well lo look at the
cold-cash side of the proposition. True,
tiio beneficial effects upon the social
and educational standards of the com
munity lire not ulways susceptible of
exact calculation, but they are certain
to come; and since u permanent road
costs money, we must know there Is to
be a profit from somewhere to offset
the cost. Something for nothing has
never yet been found.
I'ruiitH from a permanent road come
to the fanner In the reduction of haul
ing" costs. It puts htm In a position
where he can get to market every day
in the year, and where he can haul two
loads at one trip instead of having to
make two trips to haul one load.
Paved Country Roade.
Many country roads are paved—with
good Intentions, but for the most part
ultli lumps of Rod, stone, ruts and
rubbish.
Qood Only In Pedigree.
_ Too many sires are good only In
pedigree. A good grade Is better than
a jssir purebred.
