SHARP PASSAGES ENSUE Maine Senator Scenls Reciprocity and Block Harried notification. Knox Say We Would Gain Power for Exclusion. SACRAMENTO, Cat.. 'Feb. Si. The Senate, at a pelal mMtlng tonight, aiopted a resolution by Senator Camlnsttl. arglnr Commt to refuse assent to tho proposed Japanese treaty. Tho resolution wu ordered telegraphed to r-raldent Toft. Thare u ao discussion and tho vol waa uaaalnioa. WASHINGTON. Fob. SI. An effort was mad to crowd through the Sen ate today the new treaty with Japan on commerce and navigation, 'but It met with resistance from an unexpected quarter. Ilala aald the treaty repre sented a voluntary surrender of a com mercial advantage which thla country would enjoy for another year over tha nation of Kurope with whom Japan la negotiating new commercial relation. Lodge, who reported tha treaty from tha Senate committee on foreign rela tion, which agreed to report It. after It provision had been explained by Secretary Knox, waa unable to aatlafy th objectors. Considerable feeling wa exhibited by Lodge In answering- the Maine Sen ator' criticism. It had been expected there might be some opposition from pacific Coast Senator because of the elimination from the new treaty of all reference to Immigration of laborer, a covered by the existing treaty of ISM. The Western Senators, however, offered no arguments against ratifica tion beyond demanding time In which to obtain an Intimate knowledge of Its provisions. An executive session of tha Senate waa convened shortly after 5 o'clock tonight to consider the new treaty. Ha.ie Is to Head Off Opposition. Several Senators were curious to know why there wa such baste to nave the treatr ratified. Although this reason wa not given, the general belief waa that the Administration de sired action before the Western states cad time to memorialise their repre sentatives to oppoae It. Lodge said the Administration de Sires prompt ratification as an addi tional proof of tha cordiality of this Oovernment toward Japan. The treaty might have slipped through cad It not been for Hate. Lodge had made a speech declaring there was no danger of objectionable immigration un der the treaty, because that question wold be taken rare of by laws and po lice regulations, and for the additional reason that Japan, through diploma Ua channel, had assured tha Government of fcer Intention to exercise the mose rigid control of passport. At thla point, however. Hale Interposed objection to the ratification. Hale Object to Reciprocity. No fault waa expressed by the Maine Senator w'th the Immigration feature, but ha charged It Involved reciprocity wli Japan as obj.-ctionable to orthodox protectionists as that contemplated In the reciprocity agreement with Car ad a. - life's comment amused great Inter est. On every side Senators who had been disposed to accept without question the report of the committee on foreign relation pressed him for an explanation, and Hale told hi colleague that they would do well to "take nothing for granted" since the Canadian agreement was brought In. Attention waa directed by Hale to the absence from the new treaty of the pro tocol of the treaty of VXH In respect to the Japan tariff to be applicable to the United States. Under that protocol the present statutory tariff with Japan would be continued until July 17. 1912. while. If the new treaty were approved, a new and higher tariff would go Into effect at once. Lodge Says Japan Lowes. Lodge said tha treaties which Japan has with ail countries other than the United States would expire within a very short time and that in negotiating new treaties that government had incor porated therein the "friendly nation" clause. He also said Japan was about to un dertake a new fiscal plan and to adopt a new general tariff law. but that it would be compelled to, postpone opera tion of these needed reforms for another year unless the United States showed Its friendship by permitting the abrogation of the treaty with thla country at the same time as the treaties with other countries expired. He said the effect of this refusal would be a great loss of revenue to Japan, but of comparatively small benefit to the United State.

LOHIMER REPLIES TO HIS ACCUSERS Senate Hears Story of Intense Interest. EARLY STRUGGLES RECALLED Democrats Gave Votes Out of Friendship, Not Greed. NO CASH OR PROMISE GIVEN Vote May Be Reached Today and Victory for Lorlincr Is Likely, Though Opponents Will Try to Prevent Action. WASHINGTON. Feb. 22. "William Lorlmer, of Illinois. In person made his defense today against the charge that his election to the Senate of the United States was accomplished by the bribery and corruption of the Legislature of Illinois. HI defense was a general and emphatic denial. There was no vote today; Immedi ately upon the conclusion of Lorlmer's speech, the Senate went Into executive session on the Japanese treaty, and the answer to Lorlmer's speech, which Beverldge waa prepared to make, went over until tomorrow. Nobody knows when a vote will be reached. With almost every Senator fn his seat and In the presence of a great crowd of membera of the House on the Senate floorand of spectator In the densely packed galleries. Lorlmer made a speech of four hours, and even his bitterest opponent admitted It was able, well sustained and dramatic. Lorlmer Expects to Win. Lorlmer's speech was distinctly a "human Interest story." For example. In explaining the vote of Democrat In the Legislature which 'elected him to the Senate, ha told of his acquaintance with "Hlnky Dink" Knna In Chicago 40 years ago. It was a homely story of one newsboy helping another, but It was effectively told, and there were many touchea of human nature In the speech, which held the Interest of the great audience from beginning to end. What effect. If any, the speech will have upon the vote in the Senate, It 1 Impossible to say. The general Impres sion about the Capitol tonight Is that Lorlmer and his friends have safely pledged the votes with which to defeat the resolution which will declare hi eat vacant, and that. If the matter comes to a vote, the result will be a Lorlmer victory. Opponent May Prevent Vote. Beverldge la expected to make a long speech in answer to Lorlmer. How much time the Senate will be willing to give to this subject remains to be seen. It Is not Impossible that Lorlmer's opponents may be able to prevent th matter coming to a vote before ad journment. It was said today this was th plan which the antl-Lorlmer people would try to carry out.

COLONIST DAY. OREGON SYSTEM OPENTO QUESTION Roosevelt Not Ready to Express Opinion. PRACTICE MUST DECIDE POINT Unless It Gives Better Govem . ment, It's Failure. ARIZONA'S RIGHTS UPHELD If New State Chooses to Adopt Re call That's Her Affair, Says ex Presldcnt, Who Speaks Out for Direct Election. CHICAGO. Feb. 22. Theodore Roose velt, coming, as he said, to endeavor to translate to present-day needs the work and will of Washington and Lin coln," met with a reception here today such as was his when he was Presi dent. The ex-President did not deviate to any appreciable extent from his speeches of the immediate past. He gave again his definition of "new nationalism," pleaded for execution of duty in preference to demand of "rights" and worked himself Into hla typical earnestness when ad dressing 3000 boy scouts In the Board of Trade building. Deadlocks Argue for Direct Vote. 'In h's speech at the Auditorium Thea ter In the morning Colonel Roosevelt ad vocated the election of United States Sen ators by direct vote of the people. "At this moment,'' said the speaker, amid laughter, "we are trying the old system In New York and we, cannot elect any Senator at all. And Illinois last ex periment In electing a Senator under the old syetem was not, perhaps, wholly a happy one." The speaker declared that the Initia tive, referendum and recall might be wise or unwise. H did not attempt to de cide. Oregon System Open to Tcst. "If," he said, "in practice, the use of any of these new methods falls to give u better government, more honest, more Independent and yet more genuinely sympathetic public servants, then the system is a failure. "I saw it stated In the press the other day that certain good people In Washington were against the admis sion of Arizona as a state" because It had adopted In Its constitution the recall. In 1780 the State of Massa chusetts put Into its constitution pre- J clsely that provision for recall. Now, , understand me, I am not arguing for or against the recall. I am merely i saying that. If the people of Arizona or any other community wish to try It, or if they do not wish to try it, it Is their affair." While he was speaking at Hull House, a tall Greek In the uniform of an In structor of the scouts, by permission addressed In his own tongue a passion ate appeal to the ex-President to keep working for better citizenship, wh'ch was warmly cheered by the specta tors.

The commission met informally and took no definite action, not even consid ering the bills before the Legislature now. The new building.

NAVARRO CAPTURES PAIR One Youth Taken as Insurrectu Known in Northwest. MYSTERY SHROUDS CASE General's Captives Are in Jail at Juarez, hut No One Seems to ' Know What 'Has Become of Second Man at Tin Juana. SAN DIEGO, Cal., Feb. 22. (Special.) Branded as a spy by Prefect of Po lice Jose Larroque, of Tla Juana, a Mexican town Just over the boundary, Harry C. Dell, an .'.merican, 28 years of age. Is a prisoner, in danger of being convicted without a hearing by a drum head court-martial, and shot. The fate of the other American and the Mexi can who professes to be a citizen of the United States, said to be held by the Tla Juana authorities as spies, has not been 1 arned. Larroque says they have been freed; what became of them no one here seems to know. Prefect Larroque refuses to state the nature of the charge against Dell, but it Is known that he is thought to be a secret agent for the rebels. Like wise, Larroque refuses to tell what will be done with the accused men. Navarro Holds Two Yankees. While the fate of Dell hung in the balance tonight, it was learned that when Navarro's column marched into Juarez from the old town of Guadalupe late tonight, the troops brought with them two closely guarded prisoners. These were Americans and one was Lawrence F- Converse of Glendora, Cal., a suburb of Los Angeles. He has worked in Spokane and Seattle. The other was Edward M. Blatt, thought to be an ex-solCier of the United States Army. They were captured by Navarro's out posts Tuesday while the outposts were scouting for insurrectos. Fears Felt for Dell. Friends of Dell have tears thai should the Insurgent army approach Tla Juana, he will quickly be disposed of. Reports that he was to be taken forthwith to Ensenada were quieted by Information that lie is still held in the Tia Juana prison, which is nothing more than a miserable hut. This is heavily guarded and today was further defended by the throwing up of earth works. It Is said that this was done for fear that American friends of Dell would attempt to storm the Jail and liberate him. Although arrested in a Tla Juana sa loon last Saturday night, Dell's Identity was not discovered until today. This was the result of the persistency of newspaper reporters, who following up rumors that three Americans were to be shot as spies, insisted of Prefect Larroque that they be given inter views with the accused. Two Discharged, Says Prefect. The Prefect acquiesced, giving the information that two had been dis charged. The third proved to be Dell. Dell's story Is that two weeks ago he came to San Diego from San Fran cisco, his home. He pqssessed consid erable money and selected a suite of rooms at the U. S. Grant Hotel. His particular vocation was automobile riding. He formed the acquaintance of sev eral chauffeurs engaged In taking . sightseeing parties to Tia Juana. Sat urday afternoon lie decided he would take a trip alone. The automobile he hired broke down. He then proceeded to Tla Juana on foot. Making tho rounds of the several saloons, he was followed by gendarmes, who suspected him as a rebel spy. He was arrested without a chance to communicate with friends in San Diego. From Saturday night until today be was kept In a filthy room without bedding or a place to sit down. Converse Is Mere Youth. Of the two Americans taken prison ers by Navarro, it is learned that Con verse, who is little more than a boy. Joined the insurrectos more than a month ago. He was an instructor in the Harvard Military Academy at Los Angeles and worked In Spokane and Seattle for some time prior to the out break In Mexico. His parents in Glen dora thought he was in the North un til the arrival of a letter recently post marked El Paso. . j No one was allowed to talk to them, as they were placed under heavy guard and they are now incommunicado in the Federal prison In Juarez. What their punishment will be none of the Federal officials will say. Converse was a member ir El Paso of a company of 60 Americans who have Joined the forces of Orozco at dif ferent times and were with Madero at the time of the arrest. It is thought that he was scouting for the rear guard of the lnsurrecto army at the time he was captured, as he was caught fully armed. Converse, according to a Federal ar (Conduded on Page 4.) G
