request that immediate steps be taken to
terminate the treaty with Japan. l would
observe that this treaty when brought into
existence some fifteen years ago did not
apply to Canada. and that some few years
ago, in response to the repeated express
sions of public opinion and with view to
affording to Canadian producers an oppor-
tuntty of taking their share of Japanese
trade, the Canadian government became a
party to this treaty and that 1t was unani-
mously> ratified by the Canadian parliament.
The treaty has proved of great advan-
tage. and our trade with Japan under it has
considerably increased. You base your ap-
peal for the denunciation of this treaty on
the allegation that a crisis has arisen in
British Columbia by reason of the unprece-
dented influx of Japanese. While it is true
that most regrettable Incidents have lately
occurred in Vancouver, there seems reason
to doubt that the cause was the influx of
Japanese, as / am in possession of tele-
graphic dispatch from the mayor or van
couyer which has been rendered public,
and which, while expressly adverse, says
that the disturbances were directed against
Asiatics generally rather than against Jap
anese. Under such circumstances any pre-
cipitate action might be regrettable, and
before committing themselves to such a
course the government thinks that they
should carefully inquire into the causes
which within the recent past have caused
a greater influx to our shores than pre-
yiously of oriental people"

ELECTRIFIED WATER KILLS.
Garage Employe Meets Death in

NEW YORK, September 24-Pierre Col
lun, an employe in Charles Reilly's auto
mobile garage at II Graham avenue, Will
liamsburg, had occasion yesterday after
noon to go into the basement of the estab-

steel shafting. The heavy rain had flooded
the cellar Collun waded into the water.
His screams We're heard on the floor

employe, rushed down the stairs to see
what the trouble was. They found Collun
Topping about in the water and shriekinS

to pull Collun out He had no more than
stepped in when he scrambled quickly back
on the stairs. The water was heavily
charged with electricity.
Proprietor Reilly got plank On this he
and Foley padded out to COllun. When
they took hold of Collun both Reilly and
Foley received severe shocks. They pad
died back to the stairs and fitted them
selves out with rubber gloves. In this way
they succeeded in getting Collun out OF the
water and up TO the first floor.
Collun was unconscious and died before
an ambulance arrived.
The insulation around an electric cable
that ran along the floor of the cellar had
worn away and in this way the water had
become charged.

CLAIM RECOGNITION
LOCAL WARTIME VOLUNTEERS
WILL APPEAL TO CONGRESS.

President Charles ]. Magill of the Assoca-
ton of Wartime Volunteers of the Quar-
termasters' Department of the Army an
nounCed today that he will soon call a
meeting of that organization for the purpose
of arranging for a presentation of its case
to Congress. The grievance of the volun-
teers in brief is that Notwithstanding they
were regularly accepted by the government
as troops and participated in one or more
battles, they are not officially regarded or
recognized soldiers, because through
some inadvertence they were not entered on
the war records as having been regularly
mustered out of the military service. This
is explained because at the time of their
service volunteer soldiers they were
clerks and other employees of the quarter
masters department in this city and VI
cinity.
The fact remains. however according to
President Magill that the men were regular
ly armed uniformed drilled and equipped
soldiers. and when Gen. Early of the
Confederate army made his advance on
Washington, it is said. 1t was well these
Quartermasters volunteers were ready to
man the forts and rife pits in the suburbs,
else the Confederates might have marched
right into the city before the arrival of the
9th and 10th corps.
Correction of Records.
The association will ask Congress to cor
rect the records of the War Department in
such manner as to recognize the soldier
services OF these men in order that they
may be allowed the full benefits such.
They say that number of men who were
home guards or militia and never got with
In hundreds of miles of the men in gray are
recognized as soldiers, while the quarter
masters volunteers, who were on the firing
line at the battle of Fort Stevens, and par
ticipated in active campaigning against
Mosby in the valley of Virginia, are denied
such recognition. They point to their list
OF casualties as an evidence of the strength
of their claim.
Included in the evidence to be submitted
to Congress in behalf of the members of
the organization is the special order calling
the men into service, September 2, 1852.
and a decision OF Attorney General Miller
volunteers were "honorably released from
service" and that the quartermasters'
battalion did serve as soldiers and were
honorably discharged"
Another bit of testimony that will be pre-
scented to Congress will be the wartime
commission of James II. Trimble, as cap
tain of Company b, LIST Regiment Quar-
terma ster Volunteers" to rank as such
from August l, 1864. and excerpts from the
reports of Gems. McCook. Rucker Paine
and Meigs all showing military service by
the men, especially at the battle of Fort
Stevens.

WORK OF THE COLORADO STAIR
COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION

Denver.-"The statement has been
made a great many times during the
past two or three months that the
present fall season would see more
homeseekers in Colorado than ever be-
fore In the history Of the state" said
James B. Young. secretary of the Colo
RADIO State Commercial Association.
THE statement is not overdrawn.
When l tell you that In our Offices at
one time there were sixteen men and
women. and that out Of this number
fourteen had just completed purchases
of land in the state and were going
home to complete arrangements for
moving to Colorado with their house
hold effects. their stock and their fam
lilies. you will readily see that this
talk Of a great movement from the
East toward Colorado Is not all talk.
Just out of curiosity, l have kept
track Of the number of homeseekers
who have called at the Offices of the
association during the past week The
number was 127. Out of this number
eighty-nine had or will within a very
short time become owners of property
in our state. These homeseekers are
coming from all parts of the country.
with probably more from Iowa than
from any one state. These men are

are men of means. But they have
heard of Colorado and of the wonder
full crops that can be raised on our
lands. They are tired of raising oats
that run twenty bushels to the acre.
when they have been shown that on
land in Colorado that costs no more
than land back East they can raise all
the way from sixty to hundred bush
els Of this same grain. They have
seen their land increase rapidly in
value and at the same time deteriorate
in its crop producing capacity. They
are anxious for a chance. and In Colo
RADIO they have found exactly what
they are looking for.
Inquiries from Foreign Lands.
"Just to show that the fame of Colo
RADIO is spreading beyond the seas and
that even the people Of far-off coun-
tries are beginning to know what a
great agricultural region this state Is
in addition to being the greatest min
ing state In the Union, we received in
