CuIberson Will Lead Fight

Senator t'ulberson of Texas will lead the fight Monday for the adoption of his resolution. which Is counterpart of the House document. The repub- lican leaders are trying to get to- eether on sub which they hope will be accepted. It was said. that the House in its anxiety for speedy ac- tion might accept n modified resolu- ton rather than get into wrangle with the Senate and have the matter go over until after the Christmas hol- idays The indications tonight were that a resolution agreed to by both houses would be in tho hands of Pres ident Taft not later than Wednesday next There is no thought that the President win veto the resolution in its final form.
 Chairman Sulzer in his. statement said:
 "Of course I do not know what the Russian ambassador said to the Sec retary of State, but am satisfied he did not toll him that Russia would now anl henceforth live up to her treaty obligations with the United States and recognize passports held by American citizens without dscrimina- tion on account of race and religion. You toll me that the Russian ambas- sador objects to the declaration in my resolution that Russia has violated the treaty. This is absolutely true and -------->--~s->---->->-

Another Thrill

The first stir over the announcements that Russia had become aroused oyer the proposed action of the American Con gress in cutting off all commercial and treaty relations with that country and that international complications might ensue, soon was followed by another thrill when six members of the Cabinet were summoned to the White House late in the afternoon. Officially it was stated that the Cabinet had been called in council to pass finally upon Presi- dent Tafts message on departmental af- fairs, to go before Congress next Thurs day. The meeting lasted for more than three hours.
 Throughout the dny an effort was made in official quarters to minimize the impor- tance of the Russian ambassadors ac- ton
 Russia has made no formal protest against the abrogation of the treaty or against the Sulzer resolution" declared Secretary of State Knox.
 The Russian ambassador declined to discuss the matter in any way The ambassador. however, eagerly sought in- formation as to the probable attitude of the Senate

News of } -eussian Action Creates Decided Sensation-Situation Is Serious Despite Reassur-
 ances-Senate Will
 Act Tomorrow

Washington, December l6.-A protest by Russia today against the abrogation of the treaty of 1882 with that country in the form proposed by the Sulver resolution overwhelmingly adopted in the House, was followed tonight by the declaration Of Senate leaders that in modified terms a resolution declaring the treaty at an end would be put through the Senate be- fore the adjournment of that body next Monday.
 Some senators went so far as to say that the Sulzer resolution, containing various recitals said to be objectionable 10 the St. Petersburg government, would be adopted without amendment, but the con census of opinion was that the Senate will strip the resolution of everything but a declaration of abrogation. The point upon which all seemed to agree was that the Senate would act Monday regardless of any protests that might be made, and regardless of the negotiations that have been in progress between Washington and the Russian capital
 Ambassador Would Leave
 It was reported tonight that if tbe sen ate should adopt the House resolution, which barely declares that Russia has violated her treaty pledges, the Russian ambassador, George Bankhmeteff would ask for his passports and quit the coun- try. At best, it was said the ambassador would quit Washington "unofficialy," leaving an under official in charge.
 It became known today that at White House conference last night Ambassador Bakhmeteff had expressed to President Taft the view of St. Petersburg that the language of the Sulzer resolution was ob- jectionable. The conference was followed today by a second between President Taft and Secretary Knox. This conference in turn was followed by one between MT. Knox and the Russian ambassador.
 News of the Russian action created a decided sensation. The Senate was not in session, but there were number of hurriedly called conferences at which the situation was fully discussed. Chairman sulzer of the House committee on for- eign relations Geclered there was noth- ing in his resolution which could be con- strued as an insult to "sensative Rus sia. and urged senators to adopt 1t with out modification

Chauffeur Who Recently At
tempted Suicide May Sue
cumb to Wounds.
SUFFERED BUT LITTLE
FOR SEVERAL WEEKS
Domestic Troubles Said to Be
Basis for Rash Act Of Des-
pondent Man.

George Harry Austin, the chauffeur
who attempted to take his own life
early on the morning Of July % by
shooting himself in the head twice
with a revolver, may yet die as re-
suit of the wounds inflicted. de is at
st. Mark S hospital and was uncon-
scious most of yesterday, although he
seemed to recognize his wife when she
called at the hospital in the afternoon.
AT the time OF the shooting Austin
was taken to the Emergency hospital,
where a wound on top of his head was
dressed by DR.. II. B. Sprague. The bull
let had merely grazed the skull there,
and after dressing the wound, as
Austin seemed little the worse for the
affair, he was taken home in the auto
patrol, wound at the base of his skull
not being discovered. This wound
bothered him later and DR.. l. w. Waite,
who was called, found that there was
bullet lodged in the back Of the
mans head. This has been removed,
but the victim is in a critical condl-
ton
When the affair occurred it was
thought that some one else had fired
the Shot, as it would be difficult for
any one to shoot himself where Austin
was shot. A few days later, however
he signed a statement that he had fired
the shots himself and that it was not
done accidentally as he had at first
claimed. Also one Of the women who
first reached him after the shooting
says that when she asked him why he
had done what he had he answered that
his wife had said one of them had to
leave in the morning and that he only
wished he had made a better job of the
shooting. The next morning when the
same woman asked him how he felt he
said, "Like one disgraced," "
Mrs. Austin is stenographer for the
Continental Oil company. After the
shooting she said that she would stay
with her husband until he was able to
take care of himself and then would
leave him because she was afraid Of
him. She left him about week ago,
but when he was taken to the hospital
she called on him and seems to be do
ing all that she can for him. People In
the same house with the L-ustins before
the trouble say that Austin had threat
ened his wife.

ment Of time in getting ont of the trip

themselves and that the City Of the
Saints will be properly represented,
Prior to the departure of the train,

secretary of the aerie, and Theodore
Schuerman, past worthy president:

cial picked up delegations from various
Illinois and Iowa aeries. Among the
