TREATY RENEWALS HELD UP
Senate Again Fails to Ratify Ex
tension of Agreements.
T0LIS DISPUTE IS THE- TROUBLE
Member Opposed to Seclntt Ques
tion Referred to llngae Tribunal
Japanese Situation Into
the Debate.
WASHINGTON. June 17. The principle
of compulsory arbitration written Into
tho code that haB bound the United States
with twenty-four, great and lesser na
tions of the world for, the last five years
Is lfl serious danger, and unless there Is
a decided change in - sentiment in the
senate, the renewal of twenty-three of
the treaties which gave concrete evidence
of this nation's belief in. such a policy,
may be impossible. In executive session
tonight the senate again failed to ratify
renewals of the arbitration agreements
with Great Britain, Italy and Spain which
recently expired. These conventions pro
vldo that questions relating to the inter
pretation of treaties, excepting those
that cannot bo settled through diplomatic
channels or those of vital interest, na
tional honor or independence, shall be
ubmltted to The Hague.
Tolls IJlupnte the Cause.
A similar letter with France has been
renewed.
The main argument tonight arose over
the contention that If the treaty with
Great Britain Is ratified the Panama
canal tolls question would have to be
submitted to The Hague, but during the
discussion the Japanese question and the
general attitude of the nation toward
compulsory arbitration' was" brought up
and led to the expression o f views ut
terly at variance with entrance into such
binding agreements In the future.
A motion to re-rafer the three treaties
to the foreign relations committee, with
instructions that the one with' Great
Britain be modified so as to exempt'
specifically the Panama canal tolls ques
tion, was abandoned, but prolonged de
bate was predicted for future 16881009.
Some senators showed a disposition to
criticise the making of compulsory arbi
tration agreements even if only in cases
which do not affect vital interest, national
honor or independence.
One senator went so for a to declare:
"There are many people in .the. United
States and in the senate who ought to
lire In England."
Senator Works made a speech bringing
In the Japanese question. The California
senator defended the 'alien land law of
his state and announced his disbelief In
the soundness Nof interference! with the
acts of ft sovereign' state by the national
government. He was opposed to treaties
which would bind the states In matters
of this sort.
It was pointed out at- tire conclusion of
the session that If the arbitration agree
ments are not ratified the United States
then would be bound only by the second
Hague treaty, under which disputes ro
tating to tho interpretation of treaties
or arising in other ways are not compelled
to be but can be settled In this fashion If
the nations concorned a-e agreed. So
far as both the tolls and Japanese dis
putes are concerned the United States
could then submit them to Tho Hague or
not as it zees fit. ,

SAN FRANCISCO, June 7. Double

Mother's Advice
To Her Daughter
A Real lira Doll to Fondle Is Woman
Greatest Happiness.
One of the most important matters about
which women coacern themselves is their
Suture status as & grandmother. And she
Is wisdom Itself who knows of or learns
of that famous remedy, Mother's Friend.
This is an- external application for the
abdominal muscles and breasts. It cer
tainly has a wonderful Influence, allays alt
fear, banUhes all pain, is a most grateful
encouragement to the young, expectant
mother, and permits -her to go throurh tbe
period happy in mind, tree in body and
thus destined to anticipate woman's great
est happiness as nature intended she should.
The action of Mother's Friend makes the
muscles free, pliant and. responilT to ex
pansion. Thus all -strain and .tens', oa upon
tbe nerves and ligaments is avoided, and,
la place of a period, of .discomfort and con
sequent dread, it is a season of calm repoes
and joyful expectation.
There is no nausea, no morning sick
ness, no nervous twitching, none of laat
constant strain known to so many women,
hence Mother's Friend is really one of the
greatest blessings that could be devised.
This splendid and certain remedy can be
bad of any druggist at $1.00 a bottle, and
la sure to prove of inestimable value, not
cnly upon the mother, but upon the health
and future of the child. Write to Uradneld
Regulator Co., 132 Lamar Bide.," Atlanta,
O., far tteir book to expectant mother.

DISCUSSES PAPER SCHEDULE
Senate Subcommittee Considers Re
taliatory Duty Clause.
MATTER HANGS IN BALANCE
I.ennlnar Is Toward Plnclna; Counter

on Pulp and Print
Material.
WASHINGTON, . C, June 7 -For
several, hours today the senate finance
subcommittee, of which Senator Johnson
of Maine Is chairman, discussed the
paper schedule of the Underwood- tariff
bill, nnd It Is reported tonight that an
amendment to put a 'retaliatory duty
ngufnst Canada on print paper valued nt
not more than two and one-halt cent a
pound Is being seriously considered.
Because the majority ot the subcom
mittee was Inclined to this view, they
j summoned from New York John Norrls, 1
chairman ot tho paper committee of the
American Newspaper Publlshora' asso
ciation, who today reiterated opposition
to the Imposition of any retaliatory duty.
No decision was reached, but It was
learned from an authoritative source that
tin matter hangs In the balance with
the leaning toward putting In the coun
tervailing duty. In the Underwood blll
retaliatory duties are Imposed oil higher
grado papers valued at more than two
and one-hnlf cents a pound. The import
tax ts fixed at 11 per cent ad valorem,
and tho countervailing duty Is directed
ngalnst Canada because of restrictions on
pulp woods nnd pulp.
Tho proposal ot tho American amend
ment to tho tariff bill, which would put
an Increased graduated tax on Vabacco
and Its manufacture In accordance with
a plan submitted by Attorney General
MVReynolds, It was reported today, may
not bo accepted by tho flnanco com
mittee Thei feeling expressed Is that '
such legislation should not bo made a
pnrt ot the tariff bill and that It should
be given prolonged consideration. It
also was aa! d among the senators that
the plan hnia not yet had the approval
ot the admimtstratlon.
