Assured of Non-Intervention.

In his recent message to Congress
President Taft conveyed the assurance
to the .Panamans that there was no dis
position on the part of the United States
to intervene in their affairs so long as
they lived up to the constitutional guar
antees. These involve free election
and a fair count, and, as in the past,

either faction from adopting violent

TAKES HOLD OF CAMPAIGN
STEP REGARDED AS NECESSARY

NEW YORK. December 90 1t was re-
ported here today that President Taft
soon would ask Otto r. Barnard of this
city to accept an important position in
connection with the campaign leading up
to the republican national convention. In
the event that Mr. Taft is nominated at
Chicago next June it was said MIR. Ban
nard if he takes part in the preliminary
campaign might continue as one of the
principal advisers to the President until
the votes are cast in November.
Yields to Persuasion.
President Taft has been urged for some
time by republican leaders to take a
deeper interest in the preconvention CAM
paign. and at last. il is said, he has con-
sented that Taft headquarters be open
ed in Washington at an early date.
Whether or not Mr.. Barnard will take
charge Of these headquarters may de-
pend upon the conference TO be held in
Washington the early part of next week.
in which the President. Mr.. Barnard and
Secretary Charles d. Hiiles will par
ticipate
The pressure of political business at the
White House has been increasing steadily
tional committee in Washington. Decem-
Der l., and it is said that the opening of
a headquarters have become necessary
to divert the flow of visitors from all
sections of the country.
Hil1es a Possibility.
There still exists the belief in political
circles here that Mr.. Hilles will be called
upon to direct the campaign for Mr..
Taft in the event of the Iatters renomi-
nation. but there has been mo definite de-
c.sion to that effect.
Mr.. Barnard will accompany Mr.. Taft
back to Washington on Saturday night
following the peace dinner in this city
and will spend New Year day at the
White House 1t is said that the propo-
sition to Mr.. Barnard to join the Taft
forces then will be made. Mr.. Barnard

TURKEYS TO Be HIGH
FOR MONDAYS DINNER
New Year Prices to Exceed
Those at Christmas by
3 or 4 Cents.

People who anticipate having turkey fol
dinner New Year day may expect to pa
more for the fowl than the prices that
prevailed last week. Twenty-Five cents q
pound was the highest price asked last
week, but tomorrow some dealers will ask
IS cents pound for choice stock and none
will likely be sold at less than % cents.
1t is possible that some large receipts
of fowls may increase the supply by to-
morrow morning, but dealers are certain
that the prices quoted will rule the mar
ket. Quite number of extra large tur
keys We're on hand this morning and deal
ers were willing to let them go at % cents
"a pound. there being but little demand for
them.
Many turkeys weighing from twenty
five to thirty-five pounds. but none ai
large as the turkey sent President Taft
for his Christmas dinner, were on the
benches in the markets, people in the
country having held them back until after
Christmas.

High Market Unexpected.

1t is thought by dealers that not many
marketable turkeys were retained by
poultry raisers after Christmas. y high
market was not anticipated by them and
they deemed it best to get rid of their
stock. They also realized that the high
price of feed would not Justify them in
keeping their stock any longer
Young chickens were quoted today at
from IS to 22 cents Capons were in de-
msnd at - cents a pound, the choicest of
them bringing - cents. Geese are IS
cents; ducks, Nd cents, and keats, IL cents
ID pound.
Wild game is in greater demand at this
time than at any other season. Game is
fairly plentiful and dealers say prices
are not high.

Government Is Informed
of Conditions in China

Official reports to the State Department
from Picking confirm the press reports as
To the conference held yesterday by the
imperial clan. the princes, Yuan Shih mai
and the other high metropolitan officials
AT Peking. An edict issued the 18th in
slant authorizes national convention to
determine the hIture form of government
Tor China. Off1cial reports indicate that
Mongolia will declare its Independence in
The near future
Cnder the institutes of the reigning
dynasty the tribes composing the Mon
Solia dependency are divided into two
great clasSes-ttAe inner and the outer
MongoIs These tribes had submitted

CHINA in 1914. the year that marked
the termination OF. the Ming tChinesei
dynasty and the establishment of the

rated as an integral part of 1T. All of
Mongolia is placed. under the control
Of the Mongolia surerintendencE' whose
headquarters is at Picking.
This department besides being specially
charged with the control of the tribes OF
Mongolia, regulates the multifarious and
complicated relations between the princes
and various ranks of mobiles and super
vises the Mongolian-l 3uddhisaic hierarchy
and all of its ramifoations. Its organl-
zation is similar to that of the ten other
ministries or boards ;lc Picking.
Virtually Independent of China.
The Mongol princes who are the actual
rulers of Mongolia ave virtually indie
pendent of the Peking government, their
official connection with the Manchu court
being characterized chiefly by the pay
ment of an annual pa trimony. Should
Mongolia declare it's independence at this
time the discontinuance OF this bounty
would doubtless be seriously felt by the
Peking government.
In 1871 Russia occupied the district of
Iii. in Chinese Turkestan, because of the
inability of the Chinese government to
protect Russian subjects on account OF
the Mohammedan rebellion
