TO PROTECT CANAL.
Senator Davis Offers an Amendment
to HaX-pauncefate I1reaty

Senator Davis Offers an Amendment
to Hay-Pauncefote Treaty.
Washington, D. c., March 1O.-The
special meeting of the foreign rela-
tons committee which has been called
to consider the -Pauncefote treaty
is regarded here as significant, and it
is now believed that the matter is not
to be shelved, but will be pressed for
action during the present session.
Senator Davis Of Minnesota suggest
ed an important amendment which
would provide that the United States
receive full authority to protect the
canal in any way it may deem neces-
sary during time of war. Senator Nor
gan's report regarding the treaty
brought out the proposed amendment.
Senator Morgan contended, in support
Of the treaty, that the agreement
adopts all the essential principles en-
bodied in the Constantinople conven-
ton between Great Britain and other
powers for the naturalization of the
Suez canal.
Senator Davis replied that while this
statement was in a great measure
true, yet the treaty ignores article 10
of the Constantinople convention, I'M
der which Great Britain is authorized
to take all necessary steps to the de-
Tense of Egypt. In this regard Sen
ator Davis urged that the United
States should in. some way be given
the same authority for absolute con-
troll of it's Nicaragua possessions in
time of war.
The suggestion provoked a great deal
Of discussion, but no definite agree
ment as to the phraSeOlOgy of the
amendment was reached.

Modern science has brought to light
nothing more curiously interesting
than the fact that worry will kill
More remarkable still, it has been able
to determine. from recent discoveries,
just how worry does kill. 1t is be-
lieved: by many scientists who have
followed most carefully the growth of
the science Of brain diseases that
scores of the deaths set down to other
causes are due to Worry, and that
alone, says the Journal of Health. The
theory is simple one-so simple that
any one. can readily understand it.
Briefly put, it amounts to this: Worry
Injuries beyond repair certain cells of
the brain, and the brain being the
nutritive center of the body, the other
organs become; gradually injured, and
when some diseases Of these organs, or
a combination of them, arises, death
finally ensues.

Building Operations Carried on in
Chicago Under Difficulties.
Chicago, March 1O-Under heavy po-
lice guard over 300 non-union workmen
were to-day given work by contractors
engaged in erecting various downtown
buildings. This was the first serious
attempt on the part of the contractors
to resume the work interrupted by the
striking unions affiliated with the
building trades council.
Nearly all of the unfinished buildings
were heavily picketed by the unions,
but beyond one or two attempts to
persuade the non-union men not to go
to work no attempt was made to in
terfere.

to a REGISTER reporter plan for
paving which might prove worth in.
vestigstiDg. Around the mines al
Joplin are huge piles of the granite
from which the ore has been crushed
and these piles may be had for song
They are crushed rock Of the right
size for macadam and are Of course
much harder individual chunks than
the ordinary stone placed on the
streets. Now the only question il:
which is the cheaper way, to quarry
rock and crush it here and then haul
it onto the streets, or to ship those
piles of granite from the mines. Ii
would be a wise and proper thing for
the council to inquire as to the price
at which he dumps can be bought
and the rate which the railroads will
make for hauling it.
