March 7.?Stripped of the clauae which it waa claimed would invade the constitutional treaty mak? ing power of the senate, and with many other limitations added, the general arbitration treaties between the I* .ted States. England and France, proposed by President Taft and Secretary Knox as forerunners of universal pence, were ratified >y the senate today by a vote of 76 to 3. The senators who voted against the ratification were Lorlmer, Mart, n and Reed. The latter two are Democrats. * President Taft tonight, before leav? ing for hie speaking trip to Toledo and Chicago, did not comment upon the Senat*'* ictlon. It Is known he had hoped to see the treaties passed unamended. He had declared pub? licly, however, that certain amend? ments would not be objectionable. Virtually, the treaties, by the sen? ate's action. %re "up In the air." In thetr modified form they must be re? ferred to England and France. By the terms of an amendment pro? posed by Senator Bacon of Georgia, the ?nate consented to the ratifica? tion of the treaties with the distinct provision that they do not authorise "the submlsalon to arbitration of any question which affects the admlaslon Of aliens Into the United States, or the admission of aliens to the educational sjstttutlons of the several States, or tjb* ?arrttorlal Integrity of the several State? oe ef the United state*, or con? cerning the question of the alleged In? debtedness ot moneyed obligation of any State of the United States, or any question which depends upon or In? volves the maintenance of the tradi? tional attitude of the United States concerning American questions, com? monly described in the Monroe doc hrrne. ?r oth?r purely governmental policy." As amended the treaties provided that all difficulties, with the exception of the subjects named In the Bacon amendment, which It has not been possible adjust by diplomacy, and which ars Justifiable In, their nature, shatl ha submitted to arbitration at The Hague tribunal. Senator Lodge and others who sought the senate's action today, de? clared that ths alteration of the much discussed clause three of article three would imperil the success of the treaties. No official expressions were made tonight at the State department. Dip? lomatists pointed out what they claimed was a parallel to the senate's action today, and In that case, the treaties undsr consideration never be? soms operative. Ambassador Eryce did not com? ment; neither did Jules Juaserand. the ambassador from France Senator Bacon snd his colleagues who forced the discussion declared that nothing had been lost in the cause of peace because 4 5 nations Were now parties to The Hague Con? vention.

The administration senators, though figuring on a close vote on the third clause, and closely following the roll call. w?re surprised and confused by the result.

The meeting was attended ex-offlco I by the American ambassador, who In a brief address, cautioned Americans against taking any partizan attitude toward the political affairs of the na? tion. This is the first formal action taken by Americans and was the outcome of a general feeling that ho* been grow? ing for many days "that residents should provide agalnat being taken unawares." Several plans have been advocated by various groups of clti sens, one of which contemplated con? centration at the abattoir of a large packing company, which .It was said, I offered excellent facilities of protec? tion.

Felder Hud ilken Received?John Gary BvailS und Attorney General Lyou Deny Bloase'l Implied Charge. Columl la. March 7.?The statement by Mr. Avery Patton, of Greenville, a I member of the Ansel windlng-up I commission, that threats had been I made against hid life and that of T. j B. Felder, the Atlanta attorney, while he was serving on the commission, was the sensational development at the hearing before the dispensary In? vestigation committee this afternoon. Mr. Patton stated that the letters making the threats were anonymous and bore the Newberry postmark. The statement by Mr. Patton that the authorship of the letters was credited to the then Senator Blease, was the striking part of the testimony. The alleged connection and the basis for the charge was not given. Ex-Governor John Gary Evans and Attorney General Lyon denied emphatically and characterized as "without color of truth" the charge conveyed in the message of Governor Blease, sertt to the Legislature In 1911. that an agreement had been reached at a conference in Atlanta between Attorney General Lyon, T. B. Felder, John Gary Evans and H. H. Evans, whereby the latter furnish? ed Information which was used In the "graft" prosecutions growing out of the old dispensary regime and In the settlement between the liquor houses and the dispensary wlnding up commission under Governor Ansel. The question, which was contained in a message sent to the Legislature In 1911 by Governor Blease demanding an investigation of the Ansel dispen? sary commission, was "What was the agreement had with Ex-Governor John Gary Evans and Ex-State Chair? man H. H. Evans for Information given by them at conference held in Atlanta between these gentlemen, At? torney General Lyon said no such conference was ever held and that the charge was a pure fabrication origi? nating in the brain of Governor Biease. The < tne? feature Of the meeting >f *he dispensary Investigating com? mittee this morning was the reply of Governor Ulc^sc to the niar^iial of. the committee when he was sent to ask the Govern jr to lay any Informa? tion he had before the commission. That all the communication he had for them was contained in his letter sent them some time ago, that he had nothing further for them and that he didn't v/ant to be bothered any more about the matter." In other words the Governor notifies the committee j that he will have nothing to do with it. j The legislative committee to probe Into all matters connected with the State dispensary met today promptly at noon In the State Library and be? gan work.
