Union Leader Arrested.

Chicago, April 2O.-J. III. Smith, presi-
dent of an organization styled the Indus
trial Trades Union, at 151-153 Michigan
avenue, was arrested last night charged
with robbery and disorderly conduct, on
warrant issued by Justice Martin, on
complaint of Frank Gustavsen, a car
penter. Gustavsen says he was sum
summoned to the offices Of the union by
letter asking him to accept position
as foreman over number Of carpenters.
Gustavsen said that after conversing
with Smith few minutes, Smith drew a
revelver and told him to throw up his
hands Smith, he said, then went
through. his pockets and took SAG and
some valuable papers, and told him he
would shoot him unless he kept HIS
mouth shut. Two men, both of whom
wore stars, placed Gustavsen under ar
rest, he declares obeying Smiths COM
mand. The alleged officers. Gustavsen
says, then tok him into hallway where
they made him sign paper, the contents
of which he was unable to read. The al
legged officers, Gustavsen said gave him
dollar after he had signed the paper
and told him to leave. Gustavsen then
reported the matter to the Central police
station. Smith at the station said he
had never before seen Gusavsen. He will
have hearing this afternoon.

Canal Strip Treaty.

New York. April 20.-A special to the
Times from Washington says: A report
is In circulation that the president is
about to send to the senate treaties with
Costa Rica and Nicaragua by which the
latter countries propose to cede to the
United States a strip of territory five
miles in width on each side of the pro-
posed canal where it is constructed on
the border between Costa Rica and Mica
ragua, and a similar area when it is
wholly in Nicaragua.
In the absence of the president and the
secretary of state. and of admitted
knowledge in the state department, it is
difficult to verify the report. Neither the
representatives of Costa Rica nor of
Nicaragua will confirm the report, but it
is not denied that proposition has been
considered which, If adopted, would give
the United States government power to
protect a canal built under circum-
stances suggested in such concession
The United States would have the right
to police the canal. Nicaragua and Costa
Rica would be permitted to move troops
across the neutral strip, but neither
country would be permitted to place for-
tifications upon it or engage in military
opera tiOns on the grounds described as
neutral. But the United States would
be authorized to place troops on the ter
ritory ceded in sufficient numbers to pro-
tect the canal, together with barracks.
store houses and material necessary to
military operations.
The treaties will 1T is further reported,
guarantee the neutrality of the canal to
the shipping of the world.

Ex-Gov. d. r. Francis opened his re-

Ali Ferrouh Bey communicated with his

aware Of the gravity with which the
United States regards the existing state
of affairs. 1t is inconceivable that the
minister has not warned his sovereign of
the American attitude after officially
learning at the state department today
that the matter had not been magnified
by the press. that the patience of the
president and the people had been ex-
hausted, and then the prompt redemption
of the sultan's repeated promises might
have to be peremptorily demanded e
A special to the World from Washing
ton says: It is intimated tonight by di-
plomats familiar with the situation that
the sultan of Turkey does not care par
ticularly, whether an ultimatum Is issued
by the United States because of the ne
elect to pay the 100000 which the United
