BILL REFERRED TO COMMITTEES
ON PROMISE OF AN IMMEDI-
ATE REPORT ON NATTER.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 15.-The
Jewish passport question has awak-
ened only slight public interest here.
The prospect of the abrogation of the
treaty of 1892 does not seem to dis
turb anyone. Good returns with the
United States are duly appreciated,
and probably as they affect the Far
East, but it is pointed out that Rus
sla and Germany waged a terrific war
In the 9O's during which they re-
mnined on good terms politically.

The abrogation of the treaty would
affect Russian trade to the extent
Of about eight million annually,
whereas American trade to four tima<
that amount would be affected. Abb
rogatlon of the treaty would strike n
more vital blow If by reason OF this
Russian subjects were shut out of
America. From the standpoint Of the
Russian government the cessation of
Jewish emigration would be very dis
agreeable. but the government does
not believe that the matter would be
pressed so far.

ITEMS.

Washington, Nov. 6.-The cost of
protective measures taken by the

der last spring became known for the

y. Aleshire, quartermaster-g general of
the army.
From March 6. when the orders
for the mobilization. were issued to
the end of the fiscal year. June 30,
1911, the total expense was $L73O,-
526.72. This is almost the grand to-
tai, for by June 80. a large part of
the expense had been cut down.
For the single item of transporting
troops and baggage and supplies to
the Mexican border. by rail and wa
ter, from all parts of the country,
$S94.436.72 was expended. Approx
mately 10000 men were concerned in
this movement The total for trans
portation up to June 30, when the
return movement had already begun,
was s1,2S7 .9OS.SS.
other items were: Regular sup
plies, $294,527; incidental expenses,
$47, ,966; barracks and quarters, $29,-

ment of troops to Galveston, san Di-
ego and San Antonio, were executed
promptly with the exception of the sol
diers coming from Fort Smelling, Mimi,
and from ID. A. Russell, Wyoming. He
ascribes the delay at these points to
congested traffic in the vicinity of the
first and the isolated position of the
second.

THoRNLESS BLACKBERRY.

Another of Natures Secrets.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. -lhc
thornless blackberry bush has arrived
Luther Burbank, after ten years OF
experimenting. has been able to pro-
duce a blackberry bush that is desti-
tute of thorns. Yesterday afternoon

at Santa Rosa, he said:
Now | will show you something
about which nothing has been said as
yet. II is the thornless blackberry. II
has not been distributed yet, and pos
sibly will not be for some time. You
see, have to be careful about stating
anything until IL is a reality"

face of the branches being as smooth
as SILK. The fruit is said TO be of ex-
quisite taste and quality.

After Her Attempt at Suicide the
Guards Do Not Let Her Out
of Their Sight
FORMALLY ARRESTED TODAY
II is Expected Woman Will Recover
Body Of Frank Brinkamp, Son
To Be Exhumed.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-Mrs. Vermilya was
this morning formally placed under
arrest in connection with the death
of Policeman Bissonnette. Coroner
Hoffman is so convinced that Con-
ductor Smith, whose body has been
taken up, also died of poison, that he is
prepared to exhume the body OF Frank
Brinkamp, a son of Mrs Vermilya by
her first husband.
Mrs. Vermilya, who also is under
investigation i'm connection with the
successive deaths of seven other per-
sons. is pronounced to be probably re-
covering, following her attempt to end
her own life by poison Saturday even
ing.
Energetic methods to counteract the
effects of arsenic which Mrs. Vermlya
contrived to mingle with her food In
the presence of her guards probably
will be successful, according to her
physicians. Since the attempt at sui
eide. Mrs. Vermilya has not been out
OF sight of one or more guards and
every object that she touches Is first
examined, either by a detective or a
trained nurse.
"The woman apparently will recov-
er." DIR. Van Arsdale said, unless she
has access to other supplies of arsenic
or other poison. She is resourceful and
cunning enough to evade her watchers
and drug herself again. That she
should keep deadly drug among her
kitchen supplies, where 1t would be
least suspected, is a measure of her
capacity to deceive. Nothing would
induce me to eat anything in that
house. Arsenic. being a mineral salt,
however, is so persistent and so diff
flcult to eliminate from the system that
the woman may yet succumb TO the
amount she has taken"
Guards Afraid to Eat in House.
A guard of detectives and uniform
ed policemen, with a police matron
and several trained nurses, are watch
ing over Mrs. Vermilya night and day.
and she is nevor out of the scrutiny of
at least one pair of eyes. The woman's
bed and bed clothes, her sleeping gar
ments, her hair and everything else
about her that could conceal poison
have been examined. The police are
aroused and they are determined that
the woman shall stand trial on the
charge of numbering their comrade.
Since learning that they had been
seasoning their food with pepper from
tin can that stood beside similar
can filed with enough poison to cause
the deaths of hundred men. the po-
lice guards and matron have eschewed
any food prepared on the Vermilya
premises.
During one of her lucid moments
that broke the delirium following the
taking of the poison. Mrs. Vermilya
today denied to the police that she had
attempted to end her life. The poison
in the tin box was an insect powder
she said. She declared the nurses had
given her the wrong shaker. Mrs. Yer
milya's statement was mado some time
after the toxicologIsts for the police
had agreed that the poison was an
arsenical preparation.

Oscar Straus Believes Opportunity
Was Lost In Turkey.


New York, Nov. Oscar Straus,
former ambassador to Turkey and a
staunch adherent to the cause Of uni

States had lost an opportunity in the

that under all circumstances IL is
ready to testify by its acts to the ad-
vancement of international good will
among the nations.
Il regret to see that a great oppor-
tupity has been lost" said Mr. Straus.
"Our president has been going
through the country arguing for ar
bitration treaties. According to my
way of thinking the cause Of interna-
tional peace would have been immeas-
urably more advanced had our govern
ment taken this opportunity to offer its
good Offices to bring that dispute be-
fore the international tribunal at The
Hague before war really broke out"

national issues have figured most con-
