tSioagb In executive session for two lours, late today again failed to ratify treaty with Japan sent to that body a Tuesday by the President. But the measure appears to be in somewhat im-pfored posuon. Senator Hale, who was its most bitter yesterday, is said to have exhibited no opposition to it at the session Several far western senators, keaeTer. asked further time to study tie matter, and to ascertain the sentiments of their constituents after they kid time to understand the nature of me treaty. Secretary of State Knox had a long with Senator Hale and.

it Is said. tace5ed in convincing the Maine pen-itcr tfcat his objections to the treaty on the tan If side were not well founded. Tfce immiciation question is said to kive been the matter most discussed is the executive session today. That me practical effect of the treaty in that n-spect is not at all what the people cf the Pacitic coast have evidently as-naned it to be, and that their fears are groundless, was the essence of a te.egrurci sent today by President Taft Gov Johnson of California. Taft to Gov Johnson.

The President assured Gov Johnson that the treaty and the accompanying documents are exactly as they were explained to the governor by himself and tie secretary of state and that there no danger of any relaxation of the recent restrictions upon the immigration of Japanese laborers. He asks the governor to explain the truth of the matter to the California legislature, believing that the resolutions adopted by that body yesterday were occasioned by a misunderstanding of the effect of tne treaty. While the treaty is pending in the senate neither the state department nor senators feel free to discuss It, the tneory being that it is in a highly confidential attitude. Senators were more than ordinaniv reticent tonight about what happened the executive session. The state department also withheld official comment upon the situation, but nevertheless the position of the department, especiaiv relative to the tariff side of the question, was stated with sufficient authority.

Tariff Situation. Attention was drawn today to the fact that this naion's present tariff arrangement with Japan in the treaty of consists of the usual favored nation' provision ruch gives the United States the benefit of the unilateral tariff conventions made by Japan with Great Britain, France. Germany and Austria-Hungary. This country has no such conventional tariff with Jaran and consequently upon the articles which are not covered by the conventional tariffs of these other countries Japans statutory tariff is to imports from the Lnited States. As a result of this arrangement a considerable number of the principal imports from America, such as machinery, four and tobacco, which are not covered by th conventional tariffs of other countries have during the past 12 years been subject to a fluctuating and gradually increasing statutory tariff rate.

It was explained that Japan's chief the present revision of her treaties is to secure full tariff autonomy, unrestricted by any unilateral conventional rates, ail of which will be terminated. with the termination of the treaties of the other powers, on July 17 of this year. It is stated to be Japans intention that thereafter her tariff rates shall be decided, as regards all countries alike. her own national legislation, except in certain -pecial cases in which she tray arrange special new conventions on the subject. Special Arrangement Unlikely.

It declared on behalf of the state Apartment that the new treaty between the United States and Japan has been based upon a recognition of this MISS FAIRFIELD DEFENDS LEASE Beverly and Salem Woman Holds Public Meeting.

The position of. the state department Is that it is self-evident that any ar-rangemeirt looking toward effective favored nation' treatment has nothing to do with such reciprocal arrangements as that between the United States and Canada.

Special tariff arrangements of that kind between contiguous countries, it is contended, do not come within the scope of the ordinary interpretation of tne 'favored nation clause. Especially is this the interpretation always given by the United States, which holds that no other country can demand from this nation the advantages granted to another for a special consideration. Argument along this line by Sec Knox is what is said to have mollified the oiposition of Senator Hale. CALIFORNIA OPPOSED.

Feb 23 In the longest session of the common council this year considerable business was transacted tonight, most important of which was Vie appointment of a special committee to investigate the advisability of establishing a municipal electric lighting plant. The order to this effect was introduced by Councilman Whalen and was favored by him as well as Councilmen Dee-lian and Horrigan. Pres McLeod and Councilmen Whalen and Gray were ap-i pointed to the committee. The 2 members of the council arrayed themselves along party lines in the matter of window washing. The republicans wanted an amendment to the ordinances providing for no use of water in washing windows from Nov 15 to March 15.

and the use of water at other times only previous to 8 o' lock in tho morning, passed without reference, but the democrats opposed and succeeded in referring it, by a vote of 8 to 12, a two-thirds vote being necessary. Representatives of the painter union appeared before the council and declared the superintendent of streets and the highway committee were unfair to the building trades because teamsters were allowed to paint the Interior of the city stables. Councilman Snow exonerated tho superintendent and put the blame on himself and other members of the highway committee. The matter was referred to the highway committee. Councilman Nutter, acting as president in the absence of Pres McLeod, ruled that the aldermen acted contrary to the rules of the board In refusing concurrence in the matter of appointing conference committees to act with similar committees from the council on orders providing for legislation to place certain departments under commissions.

The council concurred with the aider-men in refusing salary increases to the clerk of the council and the superintendent of streets and in raising the salary of the superintendent of the water department. An order for a loan of 3100,000 to allow the water department to erect twin reservoirs at Avon was passed. Orders for the borrowing of 350.UU0 for additional school buildings and for the widening and macadamizing of Crescent st at an expense of 310.0UO, were referred to' the finance committee. Councilman Deehan introduced a resolve amending the rules of the board so as to provide for a citizens referendum committee, consisting of three councilmen and two aldermen, the resolve being laid on the table after a skirmish Ir. which the councilman wanted immediate action.

Railroad rates are not a serious item in the cost of articles. Your Vermont turkeys are brought all the way from Texas for a cent and a half a pound. You pay more for cartage than for freight, yet nobody bears any complaint about cartage. Club Needed, Says Manning. Samuel W.

Manning was introduced as the father of the movement which resulted in the Traffic club. He said a traffic club had been needed in New England for many years. There had been misunderstandings among the shippers and the railroad men and these could be avoided if the men knew more of each other. Gen Bancroft said he was In hearty sympathy with the objects of the club, for one of the greatest troubles in the world was that people viewed things from different points of view, when those with common sense, at least, would view them from the same point of view if given a chance. You can always satisfy a reasonable man.

The club should be a good thing for New England. Charles B. Strecker said: The shipper is essential to the railway and the railway is essential to the shipper and together they make commerce. It seems to me. therefore, a 1th the greater amount of cooperation between the two that il is possible to establish the larger the results achieved must be.

It is Just this that the Traffic club, as I understand it. seeks to accomplish; and through the free intercourse that will be brought about by this club between the representative of the shipper and the representative of the railway much of the friction that has retarded our progress in the past will be done away with. Mr Stewarts Views. Charles Stewart said he believed heartily In cooperation. The first grain ever shipped from Boston was through the cooperation of the Boston Albany railroad and the Cunard line.

The Cunard company la doing all it can for the port of Boston. It could do more if the New England cities outside of Boston would favor Boston rather than New York with their business. The railroads might also help in this matter. Charles H. Adam, treasurer of the Templeton street railway, told of soma of tne Joys and sorrows of owning a street railroad which ran through -the woods where there were few people.

R. H. W. Dwight of the Wells Fargo express said it was a good tiling for the shipper and the railroad man to get together once In awhile. D.

M. Bates said If the export rates from Boston were on a par with those of New York 80 percent of the New England business would go out of Boston. S. Robert Hart said he had always found the railroad man a reasonable fellow when you get next to him. He never had any trouble with any of them not even with Vice Free Byrnes of the New Haven.

P. D. Webber said the interests of the transportation carriers and the interests of the shipping public are reciprocal. Whst the shipping public wants Is a schedule of rates that wfij be lived up to. O.

v. Robie believed the club would accomplish a great good. He believed that no reasonable official was offended at complaints. Alt must and should cooperate. STATION IS DESTROYED.

To Promote Mutual Interests of Carriers and Shippers. Plans For Progress in New England Territory. The first meeting and dinner of the Traffic club of New England, held at the Exchange club last evening, was in every respect a greet success. For the first time in Boston the big industrial shippers of New England and the representatives of the railroads, express companies and steamship companies got together in anything like a social way and discussed matters of mutual interest.

There was a spirit of get together" about the meeting which bodes well for its future. There Is no doubt but much of the good feeling was due to the temper and heartiness of the remarks of the president of the club, Timothy fl Byrnes, vice president of the New York New Haven. He made considerable of a speech, but he did not make it all at one time. He made It as the spirit moved him. between times.

It was his privilege to introduce the various speakers, and in doing so the remarks of the "previous speakers gave Mr Byrnes a fresh text and a fresh start, so that If all he said were put together It would make something of a speech on the need of cooperation and better acquaintance between tne shippers and the traffic managers. The shippers all know now. if they didnt before, that when they have any grievances with the New York, New Haven Hartford, at least, such grievances will be righted much more quick-iv by going to see Mr Byrnes personally than to carry the grievance to a board of trade, an improvement association or some other organization. In fact, other traffic managers were of much the same opinion that the best way to get grievances settled is to go directly to the man in charge and state the grievance. Object of the Traffic Club.

D. ebber. Pres Byfnes opened tho after-dinner excUesby Proposing a toast to The traffic club may It live long and become both useful and prosperous." He said the object of the club was to produce a spirit of friendship and cooperation between the transportation agents and the shippers. It would mean harmony more of business for Boeton and a larger and betted understanding all around "The real difficulty with the railroad situation is that the public believe few men are getting more out of the business than they are entitled to. Now if you convince the people that they are vetting a square deal you will find that the people will fight In the interests Of the square deal.

Time Count, Not Money. "New England must reach out toward the northwest, get Into touch with the big Canadian lines and bring to Boston a greater volume of business than ever before. There la a great zone within wh.h sentiment can work in this matter. One great trouble with New England has been the slow movement of freight. In the past two months we have been able to cut almost In two the time required to move freight from northern to southern New England.

It used to cost 75 percent, now It costs 63 percent to move the gross business.
