LORDS OF AMERICA"
Russian Paper Refers to Powers of
 the Jewish Bankers.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 18-The Amer ;can ambassador, Curtis Guild, acting under instructions from the president of the United States, notified the Rus sian foreign minister, M. SaZonoff, to- day, that the treaty of 1882 between the United States and Russia would be abrogated on January l, 1913, in accordance with provision made by Article XII
 It is pointed out in official circles that Russia has no cause to be dis satisfied wi.h this turn of affairs, Pres 1dcLt Taft'S action, 1I view. Of the pre- viousfy contemplated procedure, being likely to increase his popularity here. The notification, it is added. was giv- on With full right and tactfully made rao mention of motives und deriving the abrogation of the treaty, which leaves full latitude for conducting new nego- tiations with the controversial elimi- mated.
 This feature of the situation has at tracted attention and seems to be fully appreciated. The Russian government finds not the slightest grounds to ob ject to the abrogation in such shape as it actually assumed in Ambassador Guilds note, which is dated December IT.
 In note dated December IS, the Russian foreign minister acknowledges receipt of the notification and says that Russia takes enotice thereof.
 The Novoe Vremya tomorrow will say:
 President Taft has jueiciously chos- en the best way out, to put an end to the scandalous Jewish agitation, which is dangerous to beth countries. At the same time, the incident bears wit ness that the Jewish bankers have be- come the real lords of America
 After dwelling on the sacrifice by the United States of the great and growing trade interests, which the No voc Vremya says will be felt when the tariff war schedule is applied and goods drive out American goods" the paper continues:
 Commerce will be sacrificed without gain to national honor. The menace Of a great nation should not be ut tered trif1ingly, as the house of repre- sentatives did, out of caprice Rus sia, has not yielded before a threat and the situation leaves the agitators shorn of their most valuable weapon. The supreme shot has been fired; other shot is left The fate of future negotiations will show the agitators that unless Miiukoff becomes prime minister of Russia the concessions which they demand cannot be obtain ed, especially with reference to Jews of Russian origin"

GLADYS soUTHWIck IS
 PUT UNDER RESTRAINT Letter WiIIimantic Girl Wrote Con- vinced Judge That She Is Bad.

Hartford, Dec 1S.-Gladys South wick, the IT year old Willimantic girl, whose story Wednesday night resulted in the arrest of William E. Baker, oth- erwise known as the "St Louis Kid" was not the sort of a girl the authori- ties thought her to be when after hearing the story there was talk of arraigning Baker under the white slave statute. When the case against Baker was called in the police court Thurs day morning, he was charged with breach of the peace As he had the white slave statute in mind, ProSecut- ing Attorney Edwin c. DicNenson ask ed to have the case continued to Sat urday. and he told Judge Clark that there was a likelihood that more serious charge would be made against Baker. When the case was called Sat urday, Baker was charged with hay ing improper relations with the girl. Judge Clark let Baker off with a sen tence of thirty days in jail.
 The girl had been held in custody, and, as there was a feeling that she was a victim of circumstances and that she had a desire to do right. Judge Clark had about made up his mind to who Hves in Holland. but the girl took advantage of the opportunity which she thought she had, and by it she con vinced the judge that she was not en- titled to liberty. She came to think that she was to be given into the GUS tody of her aunt, and while she was locked up she wrote a letter to a young man in Willimantic of what she ex- pected was to happen, and she invited him to call at the home of her aunt in Holland to see her. She gave the letter to another woman, who was locked up, to mall for her, but Miss Carrie A. Gauthier, the probation off, cer, got; hold of 1t and turned it over to Judge Clark. The contents of the letter convinced Judge Clark that the girl was subject for restraint and he committed her to the House of the Good Shepherd instead of turning her over to the custody of her aunt.
