FOR RECIPROCITY
Standpatter Writes To President
That He Favors Confirmation of
Agreement With Canada.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Senator
Aldrich, chairman of the finance com

President Taft that he favors the con-
firmation OF the Canadian reciprocity
agreement. Whether the letter makes

great surprise in the senatey especiah

have come out against the agreement

No announcement was made at the

message would be made public.

His letter, therefore, even IL made
public can have no effect other than
to ease the minds Of some stand-pat

for Charles M. Schwab.
BY OLSON GARDNER.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 2l.-
Two battleships, larger and more pow
erful thar any in our navy, are being
built In this country for Argentina.
The plans are drawings of the Uni
ted States navy department and the
results OF the labors OF Uncle Sans
naval experts are being used in build
ing these ships.
II was because fthe promise OF
open and free access to the secrets OF
our navy that the contract for the
ships came here. o..
The promise was made by our state
department, and the navy department
has been called upon to make the
promise good.
The chief beneficiary of the con.
tract is Charles NJ. Schwab's Bethle-
hem Steel Co., which has the furnish
ing OF the armor, armament, gun
mounts, etc. The hull OF one ship Is
being built by the Fore River Ship
building Co. of Massachusetts,, and the
other by the New York Shipbuilding
Co.
Secretary of State Knox used to be
attorney for Charles M. Schwab.
When Argentina decided TO build
her two dreadnaughts, bids were asked
for from the whole world. The bid
ding was finally narrowed down 10
the English, German and American
offers.
Then United States Minister Sner.
rill at Buenos Aires, intervened, and
by pledging the secrets OF the Ameri-
can navy, turned the scales in favor

Of America. Argentina has the bene-
fit Of years OF costly experiment and
research, and Of the plans, devices,
patented devices and naval secrets
that our navy has brought together
for the purpose Of making the Ameri-
can navy the best afioat.
Every effort has been made by your
correspSfident to see Mr.. Knox and
learn what explanation he would make
Of this transaction. He finally sent
note in reply to letter, saying that
he would make no appointment.
In order to make good the pledge
of our state department, the technical
men indthe service of the United
States E1dyy have been compelled 70
render every service asked byo the
South American government.
Once these ships are built there -
no guaranty that their guns may not
be turned against our own ships, for
they might be sold or by capture fall
into the hands or any other nation.
Germany or Japan might buy them 80
far as anything the United States
could do. !
Two ships were built for Russia by
the Cramps 10 or 12 years ago. Both
these ships are now in Japan's navy.

Charles Anderson, motorman on the

was struck down by an unknown col

track, one end of the road, about

unconscious. with blood oozing from
a wound In his head, when the con.
ductor, Abraham Derbyshire, returned
to the car after adjusting the trolley
for the return trip to the city. The
conductor saw the assailant leaving
the car as he was working with the
trolley. Anderson was taken to Hotel
Dieu, where he soon revived. 1t was
found that he sustained only a slight
wound behind the ear. He can
ascribe no reason for the attack, but

him for Conductor Derbyshire, whom
he may have planned to rob.
