The Senate is To Complete Task Today IGNORES HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES TAKES THE WIND OUT OF AND BE- DISPUTE AS TO CREDIT FOR RESULT. WASHINGTON, Dec. Taft turned over to the senate today the of completing the of the treaty of 1832 with Rub- because of alleged discriminations against American citizens of Jewish faith. Ignoring the house of the president sent a mes- sage to the senate announcing that on Friday last he had caused notice to be forwarded to St. Petersburg that the United States desired the treaty to end January, 1913. This no- was officially handed to the representative of the Russian gov- yesterday. Mr. Taft asked the senate to ratify and give effect to his action. The foreign affairs com- of the senate voted to report a resolution of couched in diplomatic terms, and Senator Lodge, offered it later In I, the Host the Noble f VOLUME GREENVILLE, V. C, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1911. NUMBER SON OF PITT COUNTY DE IN ALASKA ACCIDENTALLY SHOOTS HIMSELF Intelligence Reaches Parents This From far-off Alaska conies the the senate. There was every reason of the of one of Green. to believe that the resolution would former , be pushed through, inasmuch as s senate committee, as an act of Comp to the house, had decided that the lower branch of congress should be asked to concur in the senate's action. Senator of Idaho, how- ever, took the floor and after protest- vigorously against hastily action, asserted his right under the rules and by formal objection threw further consideration of the matter over tomorrow. Although It was evident tonight that politics would enter into the fight tomorrow, the prediction was made freely that all obstacles would be overcome and that before the senate shot himself and died of the self-inflicted wound. His broth- Leon Sutton, of this county, was communicated with at once and have been made to have the body shipped to Greenville as early as possible. As far as could be learned Ernest Sutton Is survived by his father, A J. Sutton and broth- Leon. Ernest Sutton was years old and had been in the army for quite a number of years. After serving two terms in Fort Monroe, from where he was transferred to Fort Go. From he was ordered to adjourned the committee resolution I would be put through as a Philippines. Whilst in the for the house resolution which he the proved objectionable to the Russian government Chairman of the house on foreign affairs, author of the resolution, declared to- night that he believed the matter would be adjusted satisfactorily and that the abrogation of the treaty would be an accomplished fact be- fore congress recessed Thursday for the holidays. Democratic leaders both in the sen- ate and the house are determined to claim credit for the abrogation of the treaty. Senators Culberson, of Texas, and Hitchcock, of Nebraska, the latter member of the foreign relations committee, served preliminary notice to this effect In the senate today and will be heard further tomorrow. Sen- Culberson accused President Taft of trying to strip the house of one of Its prerogatives, and asserted that the president was trying to the Democratic In his message to the senate dent Taft transmitted a copy of the letter which American Ambassador Guild, at Petersburg, had trans- to the Russian foreign office. In it was expressed the view of the United States that the old treaty no longer met the political principles or commercial needs of the two nations and should be terminated. The can with marked suggested further that it would be most agreeable to this country If s new treaty, along more modern lines could be negotiated to replace the ancient and outlived document Despite this overture to the government, state department officials tonight practically admitted that there was little hope for a new treaty that avoid the very things that were leading to the denunciation of the old one. The United States, it was pointed out, would be treading upon danger- ground in trying to arrange with Russia for a reciprocal agreement looking to wider latitude in the rights of citizens of the two countries. Under the favored clauses of the treaties the United States has with other powers, any one of these could claim the right of entry for its citizens Into the United States and there would be no such thing as restriction of then in the navy and Anally in the On his return from the he was ordered to Fort Alaska, where he had been two years.
