TWO-DAY FE'pE
 AT CHRISTMAS

The members of the Ladies' Tdftarod Hospital Auxiliary are planning great scheme for Christmas. It is nothino more nor less than a grand two-day fete, and as it is expected to result in a large addition to the funds of the hospital the fete will be known as "The Paystreak."
 This Paystreak will have many feat ures. There will be many booths, where a variety of wondrous wares may be purchased at wholly ridiculous prices; booths for the sale of ice cream: Japanese booth; and many other at fractions. which will be in charge of Iditarod's fairest and best.
 The hall will be gallantly decorated, and the ladies will add to the brilliant effect by appearing in fancy dress.
 The fete is scheduled to run for two nights. and there will be something moving all the tlme A talented com pany of local amateurs will entertain GlIV uCSlS " IL Il CIcNtI ShGlCU on DOLD nights, and it is whispered around that there will be some surprises in store in this connection.
 On the second evening there will be Christmas tree, upon which visitors are invited to place gifts, which will be distributed later in accordance with immemorial custom. It is quite p0ssi- ble that the fete will end in an infor- nal dance, although this is not certain.
 One thing we know: there is going to be a very good time; and that it is for so good a cause as the Iditarod Hospital can hardly fail to attract d large company, and insure it's social and financial success.
 Mrs. Davis, matron of the hospital, and Miss O'Connor and Miss Leigh are in charge of the preliminary arrange ments.

Why Bets Were Called
 of on Wrestling Match

Many inquiries have been made for particulars regarding the standing of bets on the Gotch Hachenschmidt match, the telegraphed reports of which simply said all bets were de- clared of. The sporting editor of the Tacoma Ledger makes the following explanation of the matter:
 "Prior to the beginning of the match Referee Smith declared all bets off. This affects every bet made upon the outcome of the match
 "The declaration that all bets are off is made by the referee for. the protec- tlOn of the bettOr. It is an indication that he believes there is new element in the match of which the patrons are ignorant and is for their protection. In this case it is believed that Hacken schmidt had given out information to the effect that he was not in form be- cause of his injured leg. Some Eastern critics have been so unkind as to insin- uate that Smith knew Hack was afraid and was going to quit at the first chance offered.
 "Regardless of the reasons which actuated the referee in making this announcement, all wagers are void and should be returned by the stakehold- CTS ''

Eight Iowa women school teachers two years ago went to Colorado and filed on two quarter sections of land in the Grover country. They have shown their neighbors that women can haul lumber, build houses and fences, plant and harvest crops without the help of hired men. The neighbors call the place "Petticoat HiIl," but the girls protest that this is not appropriate, be- cause they are disciples of Levi Strauss in matters of dress.

New York. Nov. 1S.-Jacob Sehif1
made the charge that the true reason
for the United States not insisting
on the recognition Of its treaty rights
with Russia regarding passports is
sued to Jews travelling In Russia was
that such a policy was thought to be
harmful to certain American business
interests. He seid that at one time he
had refused to use his influence to
help Russia obtain a financial footing
here and had later been told by an
agent of the Russian government, al
Mr.. Wilenken, that In spite of his op |
position a syndicate of American
manufacturers had been formed To
exploit the Russian field. These ar
engagements. according to MFR. Schifr.
had been made by Wilenken With
john Hays Hammond. and MIR. Schin
quoted the Russian agent as saying
that Mfr. Hammond had been selected
for the task ssbecause Of the influence
he had on President Taft"
Mr.. Schifr was one of q large mum
her OF prominent Jews who went to
the offices OF Senator O'Gorman, at
81 Wall street, for tie purpose Of lay
ing before Senators 0'Gorman and

makes 1t impossible for Americanized
Russian Jews, as veil as Protestant
and Catholic missionaries. to travel tn
Russia. The American Jewish com
mittea aud the presidents of various
c~ctsrern-t Institutions asT. united IN
asking the two Norfolk senators To
favor the abrogation Of the present
Russian treaty, which dates from
1889.
Mr.. SchiT told the senators that be
knew tina negotiations President Taft
had carried on In the matter had
been in good faith, but that his am
bassador in st. Petersburg, RockhiH,
considered the passport matter of
much less Importance than the bust
