by James Alva Hamilton and wife. but
who have fled the country, Wilfred
Jessup OF Richmond. counsel for Clem
ent B. George, of Centerville, the com

Hamilton We'll Known.
Hamilton, who is rather we'll known
in the western part of Wayne county,
purchased the farm from Mr.. George
in March Of last year and being una.
BILE to pay cash, issued a mortgage for
$l,s23-66. the unpaid balance in favor
OF George. Shortly afterwards, it 10
alleged. he forged deed to- the farm,
giving him clear title to the prop.
erty. and had It recorded In Fayette
county. It Is alleged the signature
and seal Of Notary Doney were forged
to the deed: That Doney had no con-
nection with the matter seems con-
elusive as. he denies that, he was ever
consulted in the matter; that his
name is not spelled Deny and that
the signature is. poor imitation OF
his own.
As soon as the deed was filed. 1t
is alleged. Hamilton not only borrowed
money from the Cambridge City bank
ing institution. by issuance of mort
gage on the farm. but also, went to
Fayette county officials and secured
a large loan from the state school
funds, which are in the custody of
the officials. also on the strength of
this alleged forged deed.

Will Be Fought.
PARTY LEADERS IN

Washington. Jan. 2s.-The reciproci
! ty treaty with Canada is doomed but
before congress has rejected 1t bat
tie will have been waged that threat
ems to split the Republican party wild
er open than any of its other differ
ences ever have done.
Legislative leaders here today are
in quanlary over the situation. Sen
ators and representatives are shifting
their views hourly as dispatches from
their constituents came rolling in up.
on them. The Democrats are the only
men in congress who know just how
they stand on the proposed agreement,
With few exceptions they seem to be
enthusiastically in favor OF it.
With the certainty Of the rejection
Of the treaty becoming hourly more
apparent. the question Of what course
President Taft will take in his pro-
posed fight to keep faith with Canada,
becomes OF increasing interest Wheth-
er the President may try to force an
extra session to deal with the mat
ter or whether he will wait over and
put it squarely up to the next congress
are questions that statesmen are anx-
iously waiting for the White House to
answer.
standpatters Age 1axed.
As he'fus sagnifieznce IL the treaty
is understood. standpat Republicans
are dared at the proposed inroad up
on the protectice principle while Re-
publicans from the Northwest who
have been crying for six months or
more for a downward revision of the
tariff. and relief from the high cost
OF living. are raising their hands In
horror and trying to explain that they
have, not meant tariff reductions OF
this character.
AS matter Of procedure, the SEN
ate will not consider the treaty until
the house has acted The subject
comes before the SENATE. not in the
shape OF a treaty npon which that body
alone may sit in judgment. but as a
legislative proposition requiring the
Joint action of the houses. II 10 q reve-
nue. question and action must ortgi-
nate in the house OF representatives.
Whether the agreement be disposed
Of or not in that body. it Is the practi-
cal unanimous opinion OF the leaders
Of the senate. among both Repub;f
cans and Democrats that 1t would be
waste Of time to attempt to consider
before March 4th.
Some public men believe II the
President could receive assurances
that the agreement would be put
through without amendment and fur
ther agitation Of the tariff qDektion
would not be precipitated the Presi-
dent might be willing to call congress-
in extraordinary session. The fact
that the Democrats would not be pre-
pared for a general revision of the
tariff early this spring might induce
them to give pledge to the execu-
tive Still. the expressions relative to
an extra session are vague
A dispassionate survey OF the qIEhole
situation may. be summed up: 10 re-
ciprocity with Canada. at ie1 until
another and totally different is OF

The program for the annual banquet
Of the Y. NJ. G. A. has practically been

thousand men.
The second speaker secured is Will

Their present building was dedicat.
ed several years ago and President
Taft attended the ceremony. as he
was at that time in the Philippines
The City Of Shanghai raised budget
Of $35,000 last year for association
work. which is an indication OF the
magnitude and standing of the associa.
tion In that city.
George Lockwood Aids.
Will Lockwood was secured through
the assistance OF his brother. the Hon
George B. Lockwood. Of Marion. who
was in tho Capital city yesterday. He
was himself requested 10 respond &C

The telephone was brought into ser
vice and the promise Of his presence
secured. AS his time is practically
all taken up during his stay in this
country. Richmond is exceedingly TOR
tunate in securing him It so happen
ed that he will be on his way TO New
York on that day and he therefore
arranged to stay over, attend the
banquet and leave for the East the
next morning. George. B. Lockwood
is also an active association worker

ference. and will probably join his
brother here at the banquet and &C
company him East He is also yer,
forceful and interesting speaker. and
will make talk at the banquet.
This talent. together with the Hon

tive and entertaining. and one OF the
