FOR RECIPROCITY
WITH DOMINION
OF CANADA
President Urges Closer Rela-
tons in Special Message
LIMIT TO OUR RESOURCES
Time to Take a Broader View of Our
Future Economic
Status

Washington, Jan. 27.-Urging the
prompt passage of reciprocity
treaty between the United States and
Canada, President Taft yesterday
sent to Congress a special message,
accompanied by the agreement look
ing to such treaty reached by repre-
sentatiyes of the Canadian govern
ment and of the state department at
a recent conference in this city.
Liberality Of view in dealing with
the proposed treaty is recommended
by President Taft
we have reached stage in our
own development that calls for
statesmanlike and broad view of our
future economic status and its re-
quirements. We have drawn upon
our natural resources in such way
as 10 invite attention to their neces-
sary limit. We have so in
creased in population and in our con-
sumption of food products and the
other necessities of life, hitherto sup
/ piled argely from our own country,
that unless We materially increase
our production we can see before us
a change in our economic position
/ from that of a country selling TO the
world food and natural products of
I the farm and forest to inc consuming
and importing them.
AS to the effect the treaty would
| have upon the cost of living in the
/ United States the President says. Il
! do not wish to hold out the prospect
/ that the unrestricted interchange Of
food products will greatly and at once
reduce their cost to the people of this
/ country. Moreover, the present small
amount of Canadian surplus for ex-
port as compared with that Of our
own production and consumption,
would make the reduction gradual.
Excluding the element of transporta-
ton. the price of staple food products
especially Of cereals, Is much the
same the world over, and the increase
In the price has been the result OF a
worldwide cause. But a source Of
supply as near as Canada would GER
tainly help TO prevent speculative
fluctuations, would steady local price
movements and would postpone the
effect of a further world increase in
the price Of leading commodities en-
tering into the cost of living, II that
be inevitable.

tracks and fail to raise those OF the
Central Vermont as the bill provided
that the charter should hold good as
to all the work completed up to GER
tain time and failed to fix any penalty
for not completing the remainder OF
the changes asked for. Mr.. Stickney
admitted the bill might be open to
that construction and said he would
be willing to draw an amendment
which would cover that point II the
committee so desired,
Senator Gordon also passed Mr.
Stlckney for a reason why the Bos-
ton and Maine would not be satisfied
with trackage rights over two or more
tracks through the Brattleboro yards
allowing the title TO the tracks to re-
main In the Central Vermont. The
objection raised by Mr.. Stickney was
that In that event the trains OF the
Boston and Maine would have to be
operated over those tracks subject to
the train orders OF the Central Yer
mont
Considerable Importance was at
tached by the counsel OF the Boston
and Maine TO the fact that II was a
foreign corporation that was oppos
ing the passage OF the bill, but this
WAS in n measure offset by the state
ment OF the Centrars counsel that II
was as connection Of the Canadian
Pacific that the Boston and Maine
was so inslstent on having the right
10 take the land Of the Central Yer
mont at Brattlebiro.
The whole hearing was marked by
the repeated interruption OF counsel
and the exchange Of more or less
polnted remarks that showed that
both sides we're fighting In the las'
ditch. 81,
The decision OF the committee vii
not be reached until after the morn
ing session OF the Senate rs Senator
Archibald stated this evening that NJ
meeting OF the committee to vote OF
the report TO be made would be hel'
until that time. The chances at pre-
sent are In favor OF an adverse re
port on the bill.

CHIEF Of FIRE
DEPARTMENT
Elected at Annual Meeting Held
Last Evening
CHIEF HAYES RETIRED
No Strife Over EleetInos and Attsn.
dance Not So Large as in
Former Years
CHIEF HAYES RETIRED

With no contest on for the position
OF chief and assistant engineers, the
attendance at the annual meeting of
Ine bennington Fire Department on
thursday evening was not so large as
usual. The only business transacted
was the reading of the reports and
the election of officers.
Chief John j. Hayes, who has been
at the head of the department for the
past two years, was given a renomi-
nation but he stated that he was I'M
able to accept because of duties that
Won d henceforth take much more Of
his time than had been the case in
previous years. 1t was evident that
there was a strong sentiment among
the firemen present to honor him with
a reelection and it was necessary for
him to make his position even strong
er before the members permitted him
to take himself out Of the field.
The interesting feature of the eve
ming was the reading Of extracts from
his report by Chief Hayes and the
recommendations that he made. He
called vigorous attention to the con-
ditions existing in he village which
results In so many ire alarms for
burning chimneys and pointed out the
danger caused thereby to property
and the depressing effect that these
trivial and preventable alarms have
upon the spirit of the department. He
paid a deserved tribute to the enthu-
siastic and harmonious manner in
which the members OF the department
had performed the duties that came
to them while he had been in office
and closed by recommending the pro-
motion Of the assistants.
In the absence of Treasurer Frank
h. Howe, who is at Montpelier. H.
Harry Sharpe reported a small balance
on hand.
The election of officers resulted as

President-William p. Hogan.

AEROPLANE FLIES
FROM WATER LIKE
A WILD DUCK
Goes Up, Sails Around and
Ahghts in Safety
NEW STUNT BY CURTISs
Performs Novel Feat to Demonstrate
Availability Of Flying Machines
in Navy

San Diego, Cal, Jan. 27.-For the
first time in the history of aviation
an aeroplane rose from the surface of
the water yesterday, sailed about, and
returned to the starting point, where
it landed on the water as easily as a
gull.
This feat was achieved by Glenn II
Curtiss in his specially equipped aero
plane on San Diego Bay. The ma
chine covered a distance of about
two miles and the flight was made
after almost two weeks of expert
menting to devise special appliances
to float the machine and allow it to
attain sufficient speed on the surface
Of the water before lifting. Both the
army and navy were represented at
he experiments, the former by Lieut..
John c. Walker, Jr., and the latter
by Lieut.. T. G. Ellison.
When the aeroplane was brought
out and loated on the shallow water
between Coronado and North Island
it was equipped with hydroplanes and
new arrangement of the front CON
troll Curtiss climbed into the seat
anG started the powerful motor. The
aerOplane scudded up the bay at a
for y-mile clip for a quarter Of a mile,
then lifted out Of the water and rose
to a height of fifty feet After re-
naming in the air minute and 22
seconds, flying a half-mile, Curtiss
alighted and turned around as easily
as a motor boat.
Putting on full power he again
arose, this time to a height Of 100
feet, sailed out over the bay a mile
from the starting place, circled
around near the revenue cutter Bear
and the repair ship, and landed light
ly on the water in front of the han.
gar on shore.
Il have succeeded in solving the one
problem the Secretary OF the Navy
regarded as the most difficult and the
! one necessary to make the aeroplane
of value to the navy" said Curtlss as
he stepped ashore.

BLOW
BANK SAFE At
BERLIN, n. \.
Failed to Reach Strong Box
and Secured Nothing
WORK or PROFESSIONALS
Mechanism of Vault Damaged SO
That Inner Safe Is Temporarily
Sealed

Deputy Sheriff John Nash received
a telephone message this morning
from the president of the bank in
Berlin, n Y, stating that an attempt
had been made to rob the institution
during the night. The safe was
blown open but the burglars were un-
able to reach the inner apartment and
secured nothing for their pains.
The explosion ripped the outer
door off the safe and damaged the
strong box so that at the time the
president telephoned Mr. Nash the
officials themselves were unable TO
unlock the inside door
The thieves were undoubtedly pro
fessionals and suspicion points to a
husky stranger who had been staying
at the hotel during the past few days
The man is described as at least six
feet and two inches tall and heavily
built, did not register and while in
town never gave his full name
1t is evident that the cracksmen
came to Berlin on a handcar from
some point near Petersburg over the
Chatham division of the New York
Central railroad They robbed every
barn in the vicinity tor the purpose
of securing blankets and robes with
which they deadened the noise of the
explosion when they blew open the
safe
Although none of the people living
in the vicinity were aroused by the
explosion and the break was not dis
covered until the bank was opened
this. morning 1t is believed that the
thieves were frightened away after
they had Jared Off the outside door

scHENk JURY DIsAeREEs
One Man Insisted That Alleged Poi
soner Was Guilty

Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. 27.-After
struggling for more than "a hours the
jury in the case of Mrs. Laura Farms
worth Schenk, who is charged with
poisoning her husband, John o.
Schenk, could not reach a verdict and
was dismissed Mrs. Schenk again is
in Jail.
The final vote taken by the jury
stood eleven for acquittal and one for
conviction. On the first ballot, taken
within five minutes after the jury re-
tired at 1856 Wednesday evening,
eight voted for acquittal, three for
conviction and one juryman refused
to vote. The juror who held up hopes
of verdict was Isaac Heyman,
salesman for a local provision COM
pany. From the start he held that
the accused was guilty of the crime
with which she was charged.
While a new trial will be neces-
sary, II is generally conceded that the
task Of selecting a jury will be most
difficult, as virtually all the evil
dence In the possession of both sides
has been brought out and there are
few persons that have not formed an
opinion.
There was a rumor last night that
charges OF bribery and attempted
bribery had been made by members
Of the jury. but several OF the jurors
denied this emphatlcally.
The amount OF bail required to Sc
cure the liberty Of Mrs. Schenk pend.
ing second trial has not been deter
mined upon. but will be fixed at once.
