CONVENTION LIMITING USE OF
NAVAL VESSELS ON GREAT
LAKES OBJECTIONABLE.
MOVE IN CONGRESS SEEMS LIKELY
CANADIAN GOVERNMENT CON
TEMPLATES CONSTRUCTION
OF ARMORED CRUISER.

Washington. Dec. 30-The state de-
partment has not been informed up TO
this moment that the Canadian gov
ernment contcmplates placing an
armed cruiser on the lakes in addition
to the few small and insignificant
naval vessels now maintained there,
Recently the Canadian government
laid down a couple OF revenue cutters
for lake service and although these
were. being of modern type, better
vessels than those heretofore EN-
ployed for this work. their construc
tien was rot regarded here as violat-
ing the treaty. Attention was called
to the matter. however. by some Of
the congressman from the Great Lakes
section and the state department made
q quiet but effective inquiry into the
character of the Canadian cutters. 1t
appears that United States naval
officer visited the place where the YES
sells were being built and examined
their construction. fact that gave
rise TO some feeling on the part of the
Canadians when they learned of the
visit
AS soon as congress reconvenes
after the recess there will without
doubt be a renewal of the attempt
which has been made annually for the
last ten years 10
Secure a Repeal or Modification
of that section of the Rush treaty be
tween the United States and Great
Britain that limits use of naval vessels
on the lakes. Representative William
Alden Smith of Michigan has taken
particularly advanced position in this
matter and his activity has. it is said,
excited a corresponding movement in
Canada He has heard from some
quarter that he believes to be reli
able a statement that the Canadian
government is about to enter formal
protest against the location of the pro,
posed United States naval training
station on the Great Lakes, according
to the plans of the Taylor board. to
which congress is expected TO give
effect during the present session An.
tcipating sucn protest Mr. Smith al
ready has prepared himself To renew
with forcA the attack upon the Rush
treaty. holding. as he does, that 1t has
had a paralyzing and disastrous effect
upon the important shipbullding In
dustries OF the Great Lakes as they
would otherwise be in position, not
only to supply themselves such naval
vessels as might be needed for train
ing purposes on the lakes but couie
enter Into competition with The deep
sea shipbuilders for larger naval con

PLANS OF LILY WHITES
COMMITTEE TO MEET IN BIR-
 MINGHAM TUESDAY.
1umord That N. L. Steele Will Not De Recognized as Secretary. Bold Burglars Steal an
 Iron Safe.

Birmingham, May 9-(Special. )-Lead- fnr Republicans in Birmingham, assert that the meeting of the State Republican Executive Committee called by Chairman W. I. wellman, to be held in Birming- ham on Tuesday next, will be attended by . majority of the members. It IS stated further that the principal business to be transacted will be the election of a secretary.
 There is doubt as to whether N. L.. Steele, who signs himself secretary" and during this week called the members of the committee to meet with him as such officer for a consultation is en- titled to that position now leading Republican states that MT. Steele acted as secretary of the last convention, the convention which created the committee. When the Executive Committee met at the Hillman Hotel after the convention Mir. Steele acted as secretary, no election, however, taking place.
 What the committee will do when it does meet is still matter of conjecture, but conservative Republicans say that the committee will decide that no further meetings be held until next year when the convention should be held for the purpose of electing delegates to the National Convention. There may be some discussion on the conference which took place in Montgomery last week. NO Endorsement of any candidate for the Presidential nomination will be made soon, beyond the indorsement given Presi- dent Roosevelt in the last convention.
 So far none of the lily white Republi- can members of the committee have openly expressed themselves as being op- posed to President Roosevelt, but there e no doubt desire for some other strong candidate to come out for the nomination and some good support would be found tn this section.
