Canada Annexation Resolu-
ton, Turned Down Today
Had "a Reason"

Washington, Feb 1.-THE house
foreign relations committee in execut.
i've session today turned down Repre-.
sentative Benefits resolution. direct.
ing the president to negotiate for the
annexation of Canada. Bennett was
the only committee member who sup.
ported it.
Bennett said after the meeting OF
the committee, This will not be the
end OF my efforts looking to the an.
nexation of Canada by the United
States l will make another effort
Canada ought to become part of the
United States" When Champ Clark
was informed of the vote on the Ben
nett resolution he smiled but refused
to discuss it.
That the opponents of the recipro
city agreement between the United
States and Canada are plotting to de
feat the measure by stirring up bit
ter opposition to the measure in Can
ada and England, based upon fears OF
annexation, was openly charged here
today by friends of the administration
They declared that the resolution pre-
sented yesterday by Representative
Bennett of New York. calling upon the
president to take steps relative to an
nexation negotiations. was the frs,
move in the matter to have the recip
rocity agreement fail of adoption in
the Canadian parliament.
Representative Bennett is one oi

ponents evidently concluding that the
agreement will pass the senate. are
determined to use every means to pre-
vent its passage in Canada.

Him and a Merry Fight
Looks Certain-Board Is
Supporting Mayor.

Council Is anticipated to give oppos-

board OF works are backing to the
best OF their ability. This project is
the removal of the freight tracks OF
the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and
Eastern Traction company from Glen

Mayor Zimmerman said the traction

Why the council Is fighting him on
this matter Is causing the mayor
some wonder. II was one of the planks
of the Republican municipal platform

The board and the mayor believe
the citizens of Richmond want the

sidering that the park is damaged to

ing the east end of Richmond are lead
ing the Aght against removing the
tracks. They claim that the property
abutting streets where the cars will

considerably damaged.
Just what will be the attitude OF
council at Its next meeting is being
given considerable attention by the
mayor and board One of the board
mentioned that "You cant always tel

RECORDER ROBBINS
is NOT CONFIDENT

County Recorder Will Robbins has
the measure which will increase the
commission of recorders from 80 to
so per cent on all fees taken in. The
bill is favored by all recorders in the
state but there is little likelihood of
its passage according to the latest ad-
vices which have been received by
Mr. Robbins from the legislature. Al
though he would like to see the bill
passed, as it would add about $400 a
year to his salary, he has not been act
i've for its passage.

TROOPS ARE MOVED.

ST. Petersburg, Feb. 17.-Without
waiting for. China's reply to it's ultima
tum, Russia began preparations for
actual warfare by transporting SOL
diers to the Iii district of Northern
China for military demonstration.
Among the soldiers sent are several
regiments of Cossacks from Southern
Russia.
Russia has the advantage over
China in the transportation of troops,
due to the strategic value of the two
sia, the trans-Siberian and the Chi
nese Eastern.
China would have to be more or
less dependent upon Japan if there
should be war
Not to Be Unfair.
Government officials declare they
wish to take no unfair advantage of
China and declare an analysis of the
six clauses of the treaty evidences
only desire on the part of Russia to
extend trade and protect her citizens.
For instance the first clause relates
to tariff; the second to Judiciature in
volving Russian citizens: the third
to free trade in Mongolia; the forth
to the contention of Russia that Rus
sian consulates should be established
at Kobo, Kamai and Guchen, because
of the growth of Russian trading
there; the fifth to the protection OF
these proposed new consuls and the
sixth to the right of Russians to ac-
auire real estate in Mongolia.

Gil Gormon Also Asks for
Auto Patrol and for Flash
Light System.
INCREASE IN CRIME
AS THE CITY GROWS
Districts Patroled Are Now
Entirely Too Large and the
Force Is Below Quota, 1t
Is Shown.

Increase in crime in Richmond dur
ing the last year has led Superinten-
dent Gormon of the police department
to recommend that several modern
police methods be adopted for the To-
cal department, in his annual report
to council, which will be read at the
meeting Monday night.
The "flash-lite" patrol system, an
auto patrol and another machine for
general work of the department are
desired by Chief Gormon, although
he admits the purchase of automo-
biIes might be financially impractical
this year.
The increase in crime in the city is
not proportional to the city's increase
in population, but. it is stated, Rich
of rough working element. During
the year the police have been called
on for numerous quick runs. The ad-
ditions suggested by Chief Gormon
would make the department much
more efficient, he is confident.

Called Upon.
CHINESE ARMY NOT
PREPARED FOR WAR
Russia Has Begun Active
Preparation for Hostilities
by Moving Troops to China
Frontier.
(American News Service)

Pekin. Feb. 17.-The Chinese gov
ernment looks to the United States to
prevent war with Russia. The ulti-
matum from the Cars government
charging violations of the treaty of
1881. was taken under consideration
by the imperial council today and a
reply formulated. This will not be
made public until it has been submit
tetd to the Russian government and
also transmitted to the other world
powers. 1t is understood, however,
that it will be conciliatory in its tone.
If the reply fails to appease Russia
then active steps will be taken to
have the United States mediate.
The government understands that
discreation in the present dispute is
the better part of valor. for China's S
army is in no wise prepared for war,
the troops being poorly equipped and
lacking in discipline.
Have Many Troubles.
Moreover. the empire has too many
troubles upon its hands at this time tC
prepare for war and it is believed
China will renew the treaty and guar
antee strict adherence to it in the flu
ture.
Men of wealth and power in China
are bringing pressure to bear to aver
an open rupture with Russia. They
point out the necessity of peace unit
Chinese domestic affairs are upon {
| stronger basis than at present.
China needs more railroads. more
ships, more business, these men de
clare. They urge that the era o
building which has struck the empire
be allowed to continue without inter
ference from warfare, which woult
plunge the nation deeply in debt ant
halt great projects which are nov
nearly ready for consummation.
