TREATYVITHCANADA o Water ways Secretary Knox . and Ambassador Dryce F.xchange , Ratifications New Tribunal of Arbitration Be tween Two Countries Established. (By Leased Wire, to The Times) Washington, May S Secretary of State Knox and British Ambassador Bryce today exchanged ratifications of the international waterways treaty which relate to the use of waters on the 3,000 mile boundary between (he United States and Canada. The provisions of ; the treaty in effect! establishes a new tribunal of arbitration between tWs country' an Canada by watch questions of differ ences arising between . .them and Which concern only the two countries may be settled by their own repre sentatives without resort to outside intervention. The treaty Is to remain in force for five years and thereafter until terminated upon twelve months' writ ten notice, given by either govern ment,. - f Briefly the treaty accomplishes the following purposes: It confers on both countries mu tual right' of free navigation in all boundary waters on each side of the line.. -.:.- It gives the residents on either side of the boundary the same rem edies ,ln the courts of each country for injuries resulting from diversion or obstruction of waters on the othel- side of the boundary that they would have in the courts of their respective countries if they were residents on different sides of state or provin cial boundaries. ' It fixes a limit on the amount of water that may 'be diverted from Niagara river .above the falls on either side of the boundary, for power purposes.. ' : ; ; ' , . : ;..It also agrees .on an, equitable di vision of the waters of the St. Mary and Milk rivers, which are partly In Canada . and partly in the state of Montana. It confers on the international joint commission which is created to supervise all water boundary dis putes, jurisdiction to investigate and report on any question arising be tween' the United States and Canada along their common frontier on the request pf either country. The commission is also empowered to hear and determine any question whatever between the two countries by consent pf both. , ; ' Tae treaty was negotiated by the then secretary ; of state, Mr. Root, January 11, 1909, and was approved by the United States senate on March of that year.'- In giving such ap proval the senate made certain rules in regard to the waters of the rapids of the Salt Ste Marie, this declara tion subject to the acceptance of the Canadian government. The United States subsequently acquired title to the property at the Salt Ste Marie rapids, thus removing air differences on that ground. Meanwhile, how ever,( the opportunity afforded to thus reconsider the treaty had been taken advantage of by local interests on the Canadian side, and new objections had been raised as to certain other provisions of the treaty. This situa tion necessitated renewed negotia tions of a delicate character, which were successfully undertaken by Sec retary of State Knox. NEW POLITICAL UNION. J Between the A.

Before royalty, foremost offi cials, scientists and literary men of Norway the former president urgei a world-wide league of peace among the great powers but a league pledged to use the big stick 'if necessary to the preservation of -peace. , This address on international peace is the outcome of -Mr. Roosevelts having received, in 1906, the Nobel peace prize, $40,000, with which he endowed the Federation for the Pro motion, of industrial PicU 't In the National Theatre were crowded the most distinguished men of the nation.

When he was through with Itos address they were still there em phasizing their applause by waving thousands of Norwegian flags and Mut stars and stripes, Mr. Roosevelt's apparently contra dictory demand for a league of peace was as follows: "It would be a master stroke if those great powers honestly bent on peace would form a league of peace, not only 'to keep the peace among themselves, but to prevent, by force it necessary, its being broken by others." 'Fragments of Mr. Roosevelt's ad dress were translated and passed by word of mouth through the throng, which was extraordinarily enthus iastic and demonstrative for a gath ering of Scandinavians.

The prosecution Was ..baffled today by adverse rulings in the trial of F. Augustus Heinze charged with violating the federal banking laws.- While United States District Attorney Wise and his .assist ant. ' Mr. Frankfurter, struggled' to bring out the details nf the transac tions involving Arthur P. Heinze anil Max M. Schultzc,- of the linn of (Ht Heinze & Company, Judge Hough over ruled them. The federal prosecutors have brought Heinze close to the cop per pool of 11107 and are now trying to forge the final links. Frederick Eckstein, private secretary to Arthur P. Heinze. was the witness first -called, and the tenor of the prose cutions iiuestions was "Do you know whether there was a Heinze copper pool in 1907?" Eckstein -displayed.' a rcmarkab! lack of memory, but finally declared that he-knew-nothing of any pool or agree ment, having considered all 'transac tions personal to Arthur T Heinze. Efforts of Mr, Wis..' to trip the wit. ness were blocked by the rulings of Judge Hopgh. t'uder cross-examination. Eckstein declared that the defendant had never seen the entries In the United Copper Company's books and had never had anything to do. .with the books. The court sustained Counsel Stanch- field's objection to a question as to whether, the, witness knew anything of the alleged copper syndicate. Did not Arthur P. Heinze, in con nection- with a syndicate in l nlteu Copper in 1M7 purchase -through Otto Heinze & Company 35,575 shares of United Copper common?" asked Mr. Wise, but then question ' was withr drawn after a squabble. Eckstein's memory proved poor con sistently. The prosecutor switched to tho examination of the United Copper books for May, 1908. by special Attor ney General Fernsler. He asked Eck stein if some of the pages were not torn out when Mr. Fernsler began the examination. Stanchlleld jumped to his feet to dhject. t , "As a matter of fact." he said, "did not Mr. Fritz Heinze offer you all ac cess to the books?" "No." said Mr. Wise; "he Said noth ing of the sort." . , ' , "He C'd." retorted Stanehfield. "You're' Off your trolley,' replied the prosecutor. The court rebuked Mr. Wise. Marriage license was issued to day to Mr. John Barber, of, West Durham and Miss Ada , George, of Morrisvllle. THE -hAD BILL Prospect For Getting the Bill Through Leuders Are (Jotting .Anxious and Say They .Must Puss Some Kind of ISill Itefore Adjourning Anything Will .Do, So It's II I'.ailioad Bill. (By. Leased Wire to The -Times) Washington, May .5 President Tafi's statement thai it is expected of the house and senate to pass the legis lation recommended by him in his messages, has caused the house lead ers to look around and see just how mutters stand. It was admitted to day by leading house regulars and in surgents that the eyes of the public are on them, that they will be held responsible for the failure of the rail road bill should that measure be tied up in conference and fail to reach the White house before adjournment. .-.Representative Mann, of lillionis who has charge of the bill in tae house, said today he fell confident tae bill would puss the house and hi! per I'ected in a way to meet the recom mendations of I In; .-' proKideni . .lust how long it will take to do Ibis Uep roHmilulive- Mann- would not ailenipt lo say, hot I he liiwise. lie added, would not be idle while the railroad bill Is being whipped into shape by the con ferees. When I lit; railroad bill Ls out of the way the le.ulers will put through the bill, admiti ing ' Arizona and New Mexico into the sisterhood of states. What will be done with the postal savings bank bill which has already passed the senate, will be determined shortly. " The insurgents call atten tion to the fact that they have not consumed one-fifth of the time in de bate, on the railroad bill and insist thai, the regulars are themselves res ponsible for the delay. In the senate it is the decision of the leaders that some sort of rail road bill must be passed and signed by the president before the present session of congress adjourns. They havi? reaehed t4ie-- point" where -they are not very particular what kind of a measure it is, just so it may bo labelled a railroad bill which will enable the , party to go before the country and say that it has in part al least fulfilled the pledge of its na tional platform. The plan of the sen ate lenders now is to eliminate ' the capitalization ' and stocks and bonds feature of the pending measure, the same as the traffic .agreement and the merger ; sections have been dropped, and include them in a new and separate bill which will be pre sented at the short session. Even it there is nothing left, of the original Elkins bill except the court of 'com merce, the. 'leaders are determined to enact that in order that it may not be said that congress failed to enact any of the 'president's legislative pro gram. : . Forty-i hree republicans' have bound themselves together to carry out this agreement, and they are looking to the president to wield the club over four more, or enough to give them a majority toput through this program. If-he is not able to bring them over It will be necessary to rely upon demo cratic votes. With the understanding' thai there shall be no further votes on any of the pending amendment's 'until after the president returns, Senator Aul-rit-h has gone to Rhode Island and will not he back until the first of next week.

Alter Secretary Ballinger had taken the stand, Mrs. W'ickersaam, wife of the attorney general, walked up to the press table and took a seat, informing the newspaper correspond ents she hoped they would keep quiet as she was very anxious to hear the testimony. Mrs. Wickersham wore a handsome- new striped flannel gown. She was informed that If she would occupy a seat in a less conspicuous position she would not be annoyed. Mr. Ballinger was questioned at length by; members of the committee in reference to' the recommendations which had been made for the various pmjei-ts m me oinerent states. .i . '..' .--.-.r-.-'.- - Senator Flin, of California, sought to show that the projects had largely been undertaken because of pressure brought to bear by senators and members of the house from the states where work was to he done rather lian the recommendations of the di rector and chief engineer of. the r- lamalion service. Senator Flint also brought out the fact that at the time the big projects were authorized Director Newell, whom Mr, Ballinger has criticised, was not in charge of the reclamation service, but that the ..projects were approved by the late Secretary Hitch- ock. . The senator also wanted to know what -recommendation had been made which had led the interior depart ment to establish irrigation works where nly private land would be af fected. He thought there had been too many projects approved. Secretary Ballinger said the secre tary of the interior was finally re sponsible for the reclamation service but that he had to rely upon the offi cials of the service. Attorney Vertrees continued the examination of Secretary Ballinger this afterrfoon by further inquiry con cerning the reclamation service and the withdrawal and restoration of lands.
