Senate Leaders Plan
Filibuster if Mr Taft
Calls Extra Sesion
Opponents of Reciprocity Will Con
tinually Postpone Consideration
of Agreement.
W'AHIIINuiOX, Feb. 2.1.-The chaotic con
ditions existing last night In the United
States aenat edd materially to the prob
ability of an extra session to congress. In
fact, Indications betfan to multiply today
that the senate leaders, having become
convinced an extra session Is unvoldable,
have decided to throw Into that session a
great deal more than the Canadian reci
procity agreement, which really will be
the cause for the convening of the new
congress.
This It was charged by the advocate of
reciprocity will be done to becloud the Issue
and to delay the ratification of the agree
ment by much the same tactics that have
characterised the present session. 1 'rider
tha gulBe of fighting over other matters.
It Is charged, consideration of the reci
procity agreement will be continually post
poned. President Taft Is said to be doing alt he
can to bring the republican leaders In line,
but Is met with opposition In both wlnffs
of the party, the regular and tha In
surgents. The prediction was freoly made about the
capltol that several appropriation bills
would fall of passage. If thl should prove
to be the case. It would mean that the
supply measures pending In the senate or
In conference would he thrown out In their
entirety and the making of the new meas
ures would be left In the hands of the new
democratic house.
There appears no disposition to question
President Taft's sincerity In his determina
tion to call the Sixty-second congress In
an extraordinary session. The data tenta
tively agreed upon Is March 15.
If an extra session la called It is expected
to be anything but brief. Even If all the
appropriation bills should be disposed" of.
the democrats of the house are determined
to revise at least two or three schedules of
the Payne-Aldrlch act befqre they adjourn.

HALE BLOCKS JAPAN TREATY
Opposition Cornea from Maine Senator
Instead of from Western Men.
WILL NOT CAUSE ANY CHANGES
Japan Will Continue to Cn-Operate
wltfc I Kited State, to Preveat
lafles of tootle Laborers
to Amerlea.
WASHINGTON, eb. St.-An effort wss
made to crowd throiiirh the senate Wednes
day the new treity with Japan on commerce
and navigation, but It met with re'istanoe
from an unexpected qimrJ.r. Senator Hnle
said the treaty represented a voluntary
surrender of a commercial advsntsco which
th! country would enjoy for another yenr
over the nations of Europe with whom
Japan Is negotiating new Commercial rela
tions. Penalor Irfidge. who reported the trenty
from the senate committee on foreign rela
tions, which agreed to report If after Its
Provisions had been explained by Secretary
of State Knox, was unable to satisfy the
ohjectors.
Considerable feeling was exhibited by
Mr. I-odKp In answering the Mtine senator
criticisms. It had been expected there
mlKht be some opposition from Pnelflc
Coast senators because of the elimination
from the new treaty of all reference to
the Immigration of laborers as covered by
the existing treaty of lm. The western
senator, however, offered no arguments
against ratification beyond . demanding
time In which to obtain an understanding
Of Its provisions.
K.xecotlve Seaalon Held.
An executive session of the senate was
convened shortly after 5 o'clock tonight
to consider the new treaty. Several ;ena
tora were curious to know why then was
such haste to have the treaty ratified.
Although this reason was not given ' the
genrral belief was the committee d.-slred
action before the western states had tin
to memorialise their representatives to op
pose it.
Senator Lodge' said th administration
desired prompt ratification as an addi
tional proof of the cordiality of thl gov
ernment toward Japan.
The treaty might have slipped through
had it not been for Mr. Hale. Mr. todge
had made a speech declaring ther was no
danger of objectionable Immigration under
the treaty, because tbat question would
be taken care of by laws and police regu
lations and for the additional reason that
Japan, through diplomatic channels, had
assured this government of its intention
to exercise the most rigid control of pass
ports. At this point Mr. Hal interposed
objections to ratification.
No objection was expressed by th Maine
senator to th immigration feature, but he
charged it Involved reciprocity with Japan,
as objectionable to othodox protectionists
a that contemplated In th reciprocity
agreement with Canada.
Senators Interested Anew.
, Mr. Hale's comment aroused grest in
terest. On every side senators who had
been disposed to accept without question
tha report of the committee on foreign
relations pressed him for an explanation.
Mr. Hal told his colleagues that" they
would do well "to take .nothing for
granted" sine th Canadian, agreement
was- brought In.' Attention was directed
by Mr. Hal to the absence from the' n en
treaty of. the - protocol .'of .th treaty ', of
ISM In respect to the Japanese 'tariff to
be applicable to th United States. Under
that protocol the present statutory tariff
with Japan would be continued until July
17, 1012, while if tho hew treaty was ap

Mr. Keen will be 87 years old March 1

Both a re well preserved and active for'

ing how their oldest son, W. W. Keen,
who I a railroad man Jn Omaha, ran away
from home when only 14 year old to Join
the union army In the civil war.

Into effect at once.
Replying to this suggestion, Mr. Idg
said treaties Which Jspnn hss with all
countries other than the United Males will
expire within a very short time and that
In nesotlntlng the new treaty Ihe govern
ment hse Incorporated therein the "filendiy
nHtlon" "clause.
He alxo said Japan Is about to undertake
a new fiscal plnn to adopt a new general
tariff law. but that It would be compelled
to postpone Its operation of these needed
reforms for another year unless th United
Btates she-Wed Its friendship bv permitting
the abrogation of the treaty with this coun
try at th same time th treaties with other
countries expired.
He said the effect of this refusal would be
a great loss of revenues to Japan, but of
comparatively small benefit to the United
Btatwes.
Sharp I'smaaac Oeear.
Sharp passages are said to have occurred
between Messrs. Ixdge and Hale. After a
long dehsle It was realised thrt ratifica
tion today was Impossible and the senate
adjourned. Before the JIalc-Ijodge contro
versy Senator Chamberlain of Viregon said
he had heard It said that the Pacific: coast j
senators had withheld any objections they j
might have a new treaty with Japan In
consideration of votes for; Bun Francisco
as an exposition city In 1915. He denied that
there had been any such agreement so far
as he wss concerned.
A radically different view of the Japanese
treaty I held by those in the confidence
of'th State department, who regard the
position of Senator Hale as the result of a
misapprehension.
Three distinct benefits, they declare, will
accrue to the United S:ntes by givln Japan
th concessions desired In the way of n
ratification of the proposed treaty by July
17 and the omission of th-? Immigration
restriction from the trraty.
These advantages were enumerated a
follows:
1. The United States will necure th per
petuation of the passport arrangement of
1W7 through diplomatic notes nnd feels
able therefor to dispense with that atipu
lation in the treaty of IS'.hT regarding im
migration, which expressed a potential
r!ght that novrr was exerclsrd. This stipu
lation, It was pointed out today, will notj
Impair the Inherent and sovereign rights of
the United States to leglsln'e on the tub
Ject of immigration should It so desire.
2. The Industrial and srtlstlcaa well us
property rights, of Americans will be pro
tected. The diplomatic exchange In recent
years covering the rights of American
patents and copyrights are embodied now
In a treaty.
J. The United State will continue to
receive "favored nation" treatment In
whatever revision of the tariff Japan may
undertake In the future.
It was In connection with the views of
Senator Hale with regard to the t.irlff
particularly that supporters of the Slate
department took Issue. It waa pointed out
that while It Is clear that the protocol to
which Senator'IIale referred to as expiring
on July If, IS 12. would continue .for the
United States Its present tariff arrange
ment a yeur later, ,i at th same time th
United States had been assured' that th
statutory tariff Which Japan intended to
put Into effect contained much lower duties
than th present statutory tariff act and
that the United States'would not lose, but
would gain by conceding the year's time.
