BELGIUM MAY ANNEX
THE CONGO FREE STATE
Made Desirable by Belief That
Katanga Is to Be Great
Gold Region
spEcIAL cABLE ro rHE cALL

LONDON, May 16.-That the outcome
Of the debate in the Belgian parliament
as to the future of the Congo Free
State will be annexation rather than
internationalization seems concIusively
demonstrated
Great prominence has been given to
the prediction of the British consul
that Katanga soon would be the center
OF a mining district more important
than the Rand. This is an argument
very attractive to annexationists; but
the feeling in Brussels is that if an
nexation is voted 1T must be on the ex-
press stipulation in the treaty that II
shall be Illegal for member of parlia-
ment TO be a director OF a Congo trad
ing company.
NJ Renl1in, minister Of justice, insists
that annexation by Belgium would
place the country among the colonizing
peoples and that the Belgians should
bear in mind the revolution wrought
by the Berlin act in the matter of
colonial organizations.

Taft on his return to Washington on
Monday next will make a full report to
the president Of his conferences with
the Panama officials During his visit
It was represented to Secretary Taft by
a certain element of the population of
the isthmus that the elections in that
country had been unfair and that no
proper expression of public opinion had
been permitted. Secretary Taft was
very muchaimpressed- by what had been
told him and in his conferences with
the authorities no doubt laid great
stress on the complaints. Todays re-
ports from Panama indicate that his
efforts have brought prompt response
from the officials of the republic and
the efficient carrying out of measures
for securing fair elections. it is believed
here, win render further suggestions
fom the United States unnecessary.

WASHINGTON. May 16-The pro-
posed effort of Captain R. E. Peary, the
arctic explorer, to reach the north pole
may not be made because of inability
to secure funds Captain Peary called
on the president today to report the
status of affairs to him. Captain Peary

northern dash next spring. He got his
vessel ready and equipped it with sup
plies and many of the things needed,
but the usual number of volunteers
have not come forward to put UP the
money necessary. OF the $4,000 that
Will be required the explorer has re-
ceived assurances of only $4,000.
'If I cannot get it in a short time, .
he said today the trip cannot be
made. If do get it. 1 will win and

RENO. New. May 1s.-Armed with a
butcher knife from the kitchen, pretty
1s year old Vesta Rosenthal last night
held burglar at bay in her bedroom
window, while her friend, Miss Sophia
Harris. called the police by telephone.
The parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Rosen-
thai, had gone to the theater, Vesta
Rosenthal had put her baby sister to

After about an hours slumber the
girls were awakened by the raising of
the window, and turning on the light
saw man about half way inside the
window SILL They at first covered up
their heads with the bed clothes from
fright, but suddenly thinking of her
baby sister in the room adjoining, Miss
Rosenthal sprang from the room and
screaming, ran to the kitchen and Sc
cured two butcher knives. The burg
lar left the window to be sure the
screams had not attracted any passers
by, then returned. and with threats to

NELSON FAILS
TO EXCUSE Ills
VOTE FOR OTIS
Labor Leaders Look Askance at
Delegate as Betrayer
of Unionists
Excuse Is UnavaiIing in Face of
Documentary Proof in
Resolutions
Ballot for Enemy of Organized
Workers Cuts Away His
Support

Johnny Nelson's friends in the
ranks of organized labor are far
from satisfied with his attempt to
explain his vote for Harrison Gray
Otis in the Sacramento convention
Good union labor men who have
hitherto believed in Nelson's sincerity
whenever he protested that the rights
of the workingmen were always up
permost in his mind-and "Budgy" has
spoken along those lines both in the
state senate and in local campaigns
are now asking what kind of a union
man he is and are curious to know
what sort of union card he car
ries
Nelson excused his vote by saying
that it was "a matter of republican
national politics." but the union labor
men do not at all approve of the po-
litical and geographical limitations
which Nelson places on his unionism.
IF that is the sort of union man
Nelson is said more than one labor
leader yesterday, "he is not our sort
and he will not be indebted to US for
any more favors."
AS to Nelson's other excuses, put in
the form of the query, When did
the labor council ever denounce Otis?"
the union labor men dispose of that
effectually by citing the resolutions in
denunciation of Otis passed by the
San Francisco labor council March %.
less than two months ago. These reso-
lutions read as follows:
Whereas. Harrison Gray Otis. editor and pro-
prietor Of the Los Angeles Times, Is aspiring
TO the honor Of representing the republican party
OF the state OF California in the coming repub-
rcan national convention and
Whereas, the said Harrison Gray Otis is an
avowed enemy of organized labor; therefore
be 1t
Resolved, that the San Francisco labor coun-
ell, representing 4957s members protests
Otis as a national committeeman to the repub-
Ican national convention Of 1905
ANDREW J. GALLAGHER, Secretary.
While the labor leaders are thus
calmly answering the Arguments of
Nelson. the organized workingmen
who call Johnny" by his first name
and who have always considered him
a good fellow and staunch union
man, are talking in more indignant
language. Some even go so far as
to say that Nelson is worse than
Otis.

was given out at once that bitter and
relentless battle was to be waged
against the McNabites.
The gage was thrown down at the
meeting Of the local club this evening.
Theodore Bell was to have addressed
the club. but word was received from
him that he had not been able to leave
