WAY IS PAVED
BY The SENATE
FIERY SPEECHES DELIVERED IN
SENATE IN CONNECTION
WITH TREATY.

WASHINGTON, Dec 20.-The
senate was in session yesterday paw
ing the way toward ratification of
President Taft's action in abrogat-
ing the Russian treaty of 1882.
Many senator's were prepared with
speeches and it became evident
after two hours of the sitting that
vote might not be reached until
nightfall.
Senator Rayner inaugurated the
debate with a speech which sharply
criticised Russia He was inter
rupted many times Senator Lodge
followed in support of the resolu-
tion Of ratification which he report
ed the day before from the foreign
relations committee.
Many Senators interrupted Sena-
tor Raynor during his speech. Mr.
Hayburn of Idaho delyed into his
tory and asked some questions
which Mr. Rayner agreed to look
up. Mr.. Swanson of Virginia cited
the case of a Roanoke citizen whose
family was Disseminated against.
Mr. Rayner said he knew of nc
instance in which an American
Jew whether Russian born or not
had been given official permission to
visit Russia.
He said it was not a Russian
Consul's business what a mans re-
ligion was, and added amid laugh
ter, that he knew eff mo reason
why anyone should want to visit
Russia anyhow.
Answering Mr.. Culberson's re-
marks of Monday, Mr.. Lodge said
it was a question whether the house
had not been more discourteous to
he president than the president to
the house.
The house had taken action in
the face of the presidents an
nouncement that the question was
under consideration by the two
countries.
Senator Lodge urged against any
words that would inGame, yet urged
action that would make the United
States position impregnable and for
ever stop the discrimination against
oar citizens.

THE START FROM YUMA.

Promptly at 4:3O this morning Timers and Starters Moretti and Dun- Top were on the job, and just at 500 Harvey Herrick and his mechanic jumped for their car, and in just three minutes had the National ready and sped away amid the cheers of the big crowd assembled on Main street.
 The Soddard-Dayton was called out at 5:O5, and Stearns and his mechanic immediately began work on the ma chine, placing the new gear in posi- tion and getting the car ready.
 The Mercer was called out at 5:10 and got away at 5:17; the Franklin called at 5:15 and got away at 5:21,
Arizona sentinel and Yuma weekly examiner., 1911-11-09

ta Ana and was out of the race for several hours.
 The Maxwell turned over between Santa Ana and San Diego, but no one was hurt; later the car again turned over on the other side of Fl Centro and Driver Smith and his mechanic were both injured, the mechanic so severely that he could not come on and Smith was badly bruised up. He secured a pick up mechanic however, and came on through making a game finish in Yuma at 4:47 yesterday aft ernoon.
 The Lexington went wrong at Whit tier and was out several hours, not getting into Yuma until. this morning.
 The Case car went out of the race before reaching San Diego.
 Both the Buick cars had bad luck and the Stoddard-Dayton played in the worst luck of all limping into the Yuma control on the California side of the river, second, but with her gear stripped, her front axle bent and en- zine trouble
 But to go back and give the Yuma end of the story.

and so on down the line, each car be- ing few minutes late in getting away until 6:05 when the Cadillac was call ed and got away exactly within the minute.
 The National reached Dome at 6:02 and was ferried over the river, her time being taken on both sides by Timers O. c. Johnson and G. S. Hitchcock.
 The Mercer reached Dome at 6:O3, making better time than the National as Herrick was evidently Ioafing- or having trouble of some kind, although he reported none at Dome.
 The Flanders had trouble just out of Yuma, broke a gear wheel and came back to the Yuma garage. So did the Cole few minutes later
 Stearns got the Stoddard-Dayton fixed up and left Yuma promptly at zoo. He was called out at 5:05, so he lost an hour and fifty-five minutes of precious time. However, the re- pair job must have been a good one as he reached Dome at 7:51.
Arizona sentinel and Yuma weekly examiner., 1911-11-09

Having shook hands with MT. Bul lard and other friends, including Tim CTS Moretti and Dunlop, Herrick found time for minute or two with the Elk aminer man, and the reporter asked
 What shape is your car in?"
 Fine as a fiddle" responded Her rick. Don't worry about the National. Worry about some of the cars behinC, me-"
 Just ten minutes exactly after the National, the Stoddard-Dayton limp ed across the tape, and as Stearns clambered out of the machine, he shook hands with MT. Bullard and the timers and Harvey Herrick and game ly remarked that he was about all in.
 However. he stated that he was gO- ing to wire for new gear and supplies and if he could get them here on the 10:00 o'clock train last night he would start this morning.
 After the Stoddarw-Dayton and the National had been ferried across the river, and the National had pulled the Stoddard Dayton up the hill on this side Of the ferry landing, there was lull in the arrival of cars until 12:5t when the Mercer crossed the tape in good condition. The Franklin was the next in at 1:24 and the Buick, No. F at 1:53
 Both these cars were in good shape and the Midland followed in at 2:49. The Flanders at 3:5S and the Max we'll after having turned over twice, and with Smith carrying enough bruises to put a less game man out of business, arrived at 4:47.
 The No 16 Buick ccme in at 5:35; the E. M F., at 6:17 and the Cole at 9:17 last night.
 The other cars came in after mid night, and all hopelessly out of the race unless misfortune overlook the cars in front of them, but they were all eager and anxious to finish.

HARVEY HERRIck, THE WINNER.

Harvey Herrick, driving the Nation al, the winner of the Santa Monica road race, loafed out of Yuma this morning and took 59 minutes to make it to Dome. Recently on a trial trip he made this run in 35 minutes.
 But this morning he was out first and was nursing his car with plenty of time to spare.
 After the news came from Dome that he was first there and safely across, the next news came from him that he was behind the Franklin four minutes at Agua Caliente. However this did not mean anything, as Harvey was the first at Dome and it may have taken them longer to ferry him across after he was checked in than it did the other cars, after the ferry was once started and in working order.
 Anyhow, he rolled into Phoenix at 2:52A, an easy winner all the way through. He is sure of first money in Ell Centro; first in Yuma and first in Phoenix, and it is pretty sure that the elapsed time will give him first in San Diego. In this case he will win $3900 or 70 per cent of the purse while the remaining 30 per cent will be divided 20 per cent and ten per cent to the second and third cars.
 Herrick won the race last year with Kissel, and this year with a National, which same stamps him as one of the most level headed and careful drivers in the auto racing game to-day.

The Examiners information is al- thentic and it is also understood that the Karr, Hester and Speese interests are independent in the building of this road and that they expect the hearty cooperation of the farmeers of the val ley and the people generally.
 Karr, Hester & Speese have been as. sured of this hearty cooperation, and that is the reason the work will begin at once, in laying out the route and making the necessary surveys.
 The gentlemen behind the building of this road are perhaps the largest owners of land in the valley. They are, and have been, for years, largely

the valley, and when the land gets the water, there will be a railroad, and the railroad will be in before the crops are ready to move out.
 Our information says that engineers will be on the job shortly to put the stakes up for the road.
 This is undoubtedly the biggest piece of good luck that has fallen in Yuma's way in many day. The railroad has been needed and wanted badly for many a long day, and railroad through the valley, means that it will eventually be extnnded through to the gulf and Yuma will become a seaport in much the same way that San Pedro

ferry and across to stretch the rope across the road leading down to the ferry and establish the Yuma control.
 Arriving on the other side the party found George Purdy Bullard, the father of the race; Mr. Bunton, of the Arizona Telephone & Telegraph company; the newspaper men and many interested spectators.
 Mgr Bunton, of the telephone con- pany, soon had an emergency wire rigged up and called Andrade, the Ma tional having been reported out of Fl Centro at S:19.
 When the first call was made, noth- ing could be seen of the cars at An drade.
 A few minutes later however, came the welcome news that the National had passed Andrade at 11:15 and was coming like the wind.
 A few minutes more and the crowd on the s. P. bridge set up a yell-the National was coming.
 Herrick raced the National up to the Fort Yuma store just outside of the Yuma control and knowing he had plenty of time, changed two tires, fill ed his radiator, gasoline tanks, oil tanks, etc., all ready to go out this morning, and just at 11:49 he raced his car up to the rope and grinned the Herrick grin as the crowd yelled "Oh, you Herrich

has made Los Angeles.
 It has always been known that when the government plans were carried out the valley would need a railroad badly, but it is now realized that the government and the valley will need a railroad even before the water is on the ground from the siphon.
 The government cannot economical ly nor conveniently handle the i'm incense quantities of supplies, gravel, sand, cement and all other materials necessary for the canal system, the head gates, and all of the work so planned, and so the road is needed before the farmers can use it.
Arizona sentinel and Yuma weekly examiner., 1911-11-09

Yuma is to have railroad through the valley before the water from the great Colorado siphon is turned On the land.
 This information comes to the EX- aminer first hand from the Karr, Kes- ter & Speese interests.
 MT. Karr is now making his plans to give the lower valley the railroad fla cilities which he has always promised them, when things were ready here.
 Everyone in the lower Yuma valley is about to realize their anticipations, and next fall at the latest will see the water from the siphon trickling over

interested here. They want to see the valley grow and prosper, because when it does come in to it's own, they grow and prosper with it.
 So every farmer and every business man in Yuma and the Yuma valley should immediately line up for this proposition and render every aid in their power.
 This road will not only be eventual ly built to the gulf, but in the course of the next two years will be hooked on to road leading from Yuma north
 The valley is yet in it's infancy. All things must have start, and this is certainly a start in the right direction.
