Says Settlement of Niagara Case is
Blocked at Washington.
Recent press dispatches from Wash
ington implying that the passage of a
treaty settling the question of the diver
sion of Niagara's waters at the falls was
being held up by the refusal of the Do
minion government to come to terms, was
said in official circles in Ottawa, Ont, to
be entirely at variance with the facts.
The Canadian government, it is said,
always had been willing to abide by the
arrangements reached some years ago by
an international commission and incor-
porated in the Burton act by the United
States. That arrangement, regulating the
amount of water to be taken from the
Niagara on either side of the boundary,
expires in June next year. 1t was be-
lieved by the Dominion government that
the present treaty negotiations would re-
suit in an agreement to perpetuate the
present arrangement, but as the matter is
viewed in Ottawa. the United States SEN
ate is blocking the proposal. The Ca
madam government has recommended that
outside of questions affecting fisheries
and the diversion of Niagara's waters for
power purposes, all questions affecting
the two countries be referred either to
an international commission for arbitra-
ton or to The Hague for adjudication.
1t now appears that there is a DISPOSE
ton on the part of the United States
senate to insist upon settling these ques-
tons individually.

Man Escapes Jail by Promise to

Michael Briefer, a business man from
Decatur, ILL.,, has avoided a prison. term
for bigamy by making a novel agreement
with the judge who tried him. If Briefer
helps 70 support three children by his
first marriage and one by the second,
Judge Foster will consider the outraged
majesty of the law indicated and will
not impose any sentence. The agreement
was made in the Court of General Ses-
sions in New York in face of emphatic
protests by Briefer's first wife, whose
lawyer urged that such a course was not
only illegal, but offered encouragement to
bigamy. After the accused had furnished
bonds to carry out the agreement the
judge suspended sentence. He said: Il

most common sense method of assuring

Sect Is Carrying on Well-Directed
Campaign in New York.
Mormon missionaries are carrying on
an active propaganda in New York City
and are openly attempting to proselyte
members of other religious denomipa-
tons. Eight of these missionaries are
now in the greater city, half being on
Manhattan Island and half in Brook
Ign. Many of them are young men Of
engaging manners and impressive adj
dress and are making house to house
canvass in some quarters. Especially
is this so on the upper West Side. They
do not content themselves with trying
TO induce persons of little education to
take up the Mormon faith, but are GO
ing to the homes of influential citizens.
The fact that many of the Protestant
churches send canvassers from house
to house gives these missionaries
chance of being heard, and they do not
at first dwell upon the peculiar tenetS
of their faith. These jealous disciples
are well educated and able to converse
intelligentiy on wide range of topics.
After they have obtained permission to
leave one of the books they say they
will call later after there has been IN
opportunity of reading it, In addition
to these regular Mormon missionaries
there are many Mormons from Utah In
New York, who came here to educate
their children
As the result OF az this effort there
is a perceptible increase in the Mormon
membership in the metropolis. For
merly the church had mere handful
of worsbipers in Gotham, but now 1t
has membership of over 200

Though irregular. the weeks develop
ments have been in the direction of inn
prcvement. The approach of Easter has
stimulated retail trade in some lines and
sections, with sympathetic effect ON
some Jobbing business and a slight gain
in collections. The Southwest and North
west send the best reports, while southern
adviceS are little more satisfactory as a
whole. SO far the early crop and soil
conditions are better than a year ago and
the reports of insect damage are con-
spicuously fewer then in 1907. One eff
feet of these developments has been to
depress cereal and cotton prices TO the
lowest levels of the year. Lower prices
of cottons have brought in some buying
of specialties, but mems wear woolens
and winter wear hosiery show little gain.
The strength in sole leather continues and
hides are slightly higher. Fashion has
made the tan shoe situation a good one,

By the arrest of Frank Monato, at

ing the murder of Julius Rosenheimer at
Pelham Manor, y. Y. on June IS last
may be solved. Rosenheimer lived on a
handsome estate at Pelham Manor. With
his wife he was strolling among the
shrubbery of his grounds at dusk when
two unknown men jumped from behind a
clump of bushes and beat him to death.
Mrs. Rosenheimer tainted but her hus-
bands cries summoned assistance. The
murderers fed in haste after stealing
their victims watch bearing his initials.
No cause for the murderous attack was
ever made public. There we're several
Italian camps in the neighborhood and
many Italians were arrested, but soon
released reward of $1,000 was offer
ed for the arrest of the murderers, but
this was withdrawn because of indis-
criminate arrests. Private detectives
worked on the case for long while with
out success. Monato caused the arrest OF
his wife at Huntington. In revenge she
informed the police that her husband was
the murderer of Rosenheimer.

Say Manufacturers Would Use Coz
cession to Cut Wages.
Commenting on Mayor Reyburn's plan
in Philadelphia to give the unemployed
textile hands of the numerous Kensington
mills work for 81 day, ON city improve
ments. Frank McCusker, secretary of the
unemployed conference, said that such an
offer would be spurned by the men. Even
at $1.50 day, he declared, the PROPOSE
ton would not be considered Asked why
it was that men who said their families
were starving would turn down employ
ment at SO a week, even if it was laboring
work, he said: Because they are afraid
the manufacturers would take advantage
of them later. In 1893 the textile work
ers were in the same predicament they
are now. Things were so bad that soup
houses were established through Kensing
ton and the men were glad to get work
digging out what is now Centennial Lake,
at 81 day. Later, when business inr-
proved, they had to accept 10 per cent
reduction in wages to get their old jobs
back" A soup house in the Kensington
district is already supplying food to 115
families
