UNKNOWN LABRADOR
CROSSED BY AMERICAN

Labrador contains an area forty
thousand square miles that is
utterly UNEMPLOYED: even the heads
OF the inlets and bays are un-
charted. Mr.. Hasketh Prichartl
essayed to do what no white man
has ever done before-to cross this
desolate wilderness from the
Atlantic to the George river.
Those familiar with the conditions
said that the feat was impossible;
that he and his companions would
share the fate of Leonard Hubbard,
the American explorer. and perish
miserably of starvation amid the
interminable 'barrens'' of the
interior. But Mr.. Pricchard
persisted, and in the May Wide
World he gives a graphic account
OF the experiences of his party,
whose sUfferinRs erd adventures
constitute a unique chapter in the
annals exploration.

somewhat similar to his first offense
which was a charge OF rape. 1t will

when night caught them away from

spent the night and next day In a.

Wednesday of last week Mrs. Altak
Bervan of Sentinel Butte came to Bis

hospital for treatment but for some
reason instead of going to the hos
pital she registered at the 500 hotel,

Just as the police had finished
searching the clothes of Kell and had
locked him up Bervan and his wife
arrived at the police station seeking
the advice of the officers. Mrs. Ber-
van stated that she wanted to get a

that she was tired of living with her

he has kept close watch over her since

Washington. Dec. 1s.--In a letter to
the foreign relations COMMITTEES and
a message to the senate, President
TAFT today stated he had served notice
OF the abrogation OF the treaty Of
1892 with Russia last Friday.
The senate committee on foreign
relations decided to report to the sem
ate the house resolution in modified
form. This means the house viii be
included In the action of abrogation.
The president served notice through
the Russian ambassador, George
Bakhmetieff, at the White House. It
was this conference with the ambas-
sador which gave rise to the report
THAT q formal protest had been en-
tered BIZ Russia against the language
Of the Sulzer resolution.
III is now said the notification that
Russia would be- offended at the Sui
zer resolution came from the Amer
can ambassador at st. Petersburg
According to the state departments
view the denunciation of the treaty
OF trade and commerce with Russia
will not of necessity terminate the
diplomatic relations between the two
countries. 1t is pointed out that
friendly relations existed with Russia
many years prior to the conclusion OF
the treaty Of 1898, the first contract
between the two governments, defin-
ing their respective rights in the north
Pacific
The resolution Of abrogation to be
adopted by the senate will base the
action OF this country on the ground
that differences have arisen in the con-
struction of the treaty and that for
this reason. IL seems desirable the
treaty should be terminated. The SEN
ate went into session at 2 p. M. to con-
slider Taft's action.
