~ALExANDRETTA AFFAIR.
latest Advfces Would Indicate That
the Early Reports Were
Practically Correct.

Constantinople, Dec. 12.-The United
States legations latest advices regard
ing the AleXandretta affair confirm the
reports of the violence of the police
and the attack on Consul Davis, who
had only used his ane in self-defense.
1t appears that Attarian, a naturalized
American, who had asked for the con-
sul's assistance to enable him to en-
bark for Egypt, was arrested by a sub
terfuge. After he had embarked on
the consular boat with Mr.. Davis, At
tartan was invited to land, to undergo
fumigation, whereupon the man was
suddenly seized by three policemen
and promptly locked up. Mr.. Davis,
in attempting to interpose, was as
saulted by the police and was obliged

OUR NE|GHBORS
/ THE CANADIANS
Former Finance Minister Foster
Talks of Dominion Outlook.
WILL BE GREAT WHEAT RAISER
Within Five Years, He Says, Cam
ada Will he Able to supply
England with All the
BreadstufYs She Needs.

New York, Dec. 12.-George s. Fos-
ter, former finance minister of Canada,
who has just returned from England,
where he has been making speeches in
favor of a preferential tariff and as
sisting in the campaign of former Co
lonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain,
declares that within five years the Do
minion will be able to supply England
with the wheat now sent from the Unit
ed States.
Last year." he says, eve raised Co.
100000 bushels of wheat, and more than
100. 900 900 bushels of grain. We now
have under cultivation 1900 900 acres
of wheat land. and still have 100, 000, 00O
acres, just as good, which will
DE grain-producing land within the
near future. No country in the world
will take the place Of Canada as a food
producer. This is due to the richness
of her soil and the climate.
I'VE Canadians think the United
States, in all it's relations with us, has
been a very insistent nation. Your
people are the best in the world, but
we do not look upon your government
as the broadcast minded in the world.
1--WE import from the United States a
large number of agricultural products,
but from us the United States imports
very little. In manufactured goods our
tariff runs about 20 per cent, while
that of the United States is about 4S
per cent. The disparity seems toe
great. II you won't let us in on a
fair tariff, we'll have to raise the tariff
against you.
I'VE think u country is just as
good as the United States. There was
a feeling of disappointment among us
concerning the Alaskan award, but that
is passing away. You see. the United
States stretches its carcass across oul
front door. We've got to step over you
people when we want to get out to sea
that is. if you will let u.s."

KRAFT WILL NOT
APPEAL HIS CASE
Will Return Voluntarily If Released
By Mexican Government.
TIRED OF LIFE IN PRISON
Case To BE Settled Under Comfy
Rules Instead of Treaties,
Leaving Him But Little
Hope of Escape.

Guadalajara, Mex, Dec. 12.-Kratz
Friday made the announcement that in
case the department Of foreign rela-
lions and chief executive approve the
finding of Judge Rojas favorable to
extradition he will not fight the case
further, as at first intended, as that
would mean at least two months more
in jail for him, and he is heartily sick
of confinement.
II the governments desire is to re-
lease him he says he will go back and
face the whole thing out. He says his
patience and ~forbearance are about
exhausted, and if pressed too hard he
declares he will make things warm
for persons in high political circles.
kratz declares his mind is unaltera-
bly, made up. Neither persuasions of
friends nor entreaties Of his family,
he says, can prevent his following out
his determination should he not be
liberated by order of the department
of foreign relations reversing the de-
cision of Judge Rojas.
Chief of Detectives Desmond was
just on the point of boarding a train
to return to the states last night when,
hearing of the new turn in the case,
he cancelled his Pullman reservation
and decided to remain here for further
instructions.
Castanos, Kratz' attorney, departed
Friday for Mexico City to use all his
power with the department and the
chief executive on behalf of his client.
On this appeal Kratz will base his final
hope.

that it is the purpose of the American

willing for Morgan and hill to own the
