LODGE WILL LEAD
 PRESIDENTS FIGHT
THE CANADIAN AGREEMENT IN
 THE SENATE.
An Apparent Disposition to Interpose
 No Delay.

Washington, Feb. 15--President Taft may be compelled to designate a leader to take charge of the admin istration's interest in the fight over the reciprocity agreement in the sen ate. and if he does. the indications are that he will select Senator Lodge
 The finance committee, to which the Mccall bill was referred when it was brought over from the house to- day. is lukewarm toward the meas ure. Several of the members will vote for it, but it is not anticipated that they will exhibit any great en- thusiasm.
 There was speculation as to wheth- CT the bill would receive a majority vote in the committee. No member is inclined to delay procedure. in view of President Taft's great interest in the agreement To avoid seeming opposition to the presidents program, it was reported that there might be no vote in the committee at all. Some senators are trying to have the Me- Call bill reported without recom- mendation. giving to its opponents the right to prosecute their objections on the senate floor.
 By reason of the illness of Senator Hale. it is not likely that meeting of the committee will be held before Sunday. and perhaps not before Mon day.

CALIFORNIA COURTS
 HOW TO CORRECT THEM
Sacramento Legislature Not Agreed as
 to Methods.

Sacramento. Feb. 15.-A well inten- toned but naturally perverse child Is likely to be regarded and discussed by his immediate relatives in just about the manner the legislature is talking about the judiciary of California to- night.
 That something must be done is agreed everywhere. but there are at least two minds as to what form the correction shall take. not counting the proposition of the supreme court that its proceeding in granting rehearing to Abe Ruef be investigated.
 The committee on rules of each house, to whom this request was re- ferred, will meet tomorrow morning to discuss it. The senate committee, how ever, may await the receipt of Senator Cartwright's resolution. Introduced February 1. calling for such investiga- tion This resolution was reported from the judiciary committee late today with the recommendation that it be sent to the rules committee and this will not be done until the senate meets tomorrow.

 Sir Wilfred Laurier's reply was nOn- committal. He said the government had no information on the subject: that the Canadian government had an nOunced its policy and would not change it until it had more informa- tion.
 'I have not had my attention drawn to it until this moment, said the pre- mier. "I have only to say that the policy of the government it already set- tied.
 But" he added. smiling. If some ne- farious intention of the kind mentioned in this article should be put into action and the worst comes to the worst I shall call upon my honorable friend, as a gallant soldier. to dispose of it and guard our interests"

THE ANNEXATION STORY
Excitement in Canada and England Over the Report of Mir. Clark's remarks ill Course of Debate on Canadian Reciprocity.

Washington. Feb. 15.-The semi jocular remarks which Champ Clark made in the house yesterday in the debate on the Canadian reciprocity agreement, that he believed the Stars and Stripes would one day float over the entire western hemisphere, stirred up the most unexpected trouble to- day. President Taft took occasion to write to Representative Mccall in troducer of the reciprocity bill, dis claiming and deprecating the anneXa- ton talk, and to follow it up with personal remarks even more en- phatic to his visitors.
 The news that MT. Clarks allusions had created excitement in Canada and in England occasioned great sur prise and considerable amusement at the capitol The man most surprised of all was MT. Clark himself
 MT. Clarks entire speech on reel procity yesterday was delivered in a half humorous, half taunting vein The house was in a gale of laughter most Of the time. In return for the laughs he was creating at their ex- pense, some of the republicans tried to turn the tables on MT. Clark by chiding him with the fact that he might have President Taft as an opponent for the democratic nomi- nation. This humorous exchange re- flected the spirit of the debate dur ing the time Mir. Clark was on his feet and no one gave serious con- sideration to his remarks regarding the possible annexation of Canada.
 They regarded his statements in the nature of a compliment to the Canadian people, in that he would be glad to see the friendship that ex- ists at present between the Canadians and the people of the United States so ripen in the future that all might some day be under one flag
 There was a further touch of fa- seriousness to the debate when a re- publican asked NIT. Clark if he would like to be the first president of the magnificent union he was creating, and he replied amid burst of laugh ter that he certainly would.
 The excitement abroad was attrib uted at the capitol today in part to- the fact that several English and Ca nadian newspaper correspondents were in the press gallery following the debate when MT Clark spoke His remarks may have appealed to them as the most important feature of the story and have been cabled accord ingly.
 In ''skeletonizing" his remarks for cable purposes. the semi-humorous character of the debate probably was entirely lost sight of
 .F were inclined 10 take the view that opponents of the agreement had sim ply seized upon what was regarded here as an entirely personal and harmless statement to make capital against the ratification of the agree ment.

LACKED ENTHUSIASM.
Why DanviIIe Grand Jury Dispensed
 With Services of Prosecutor.

Danville. H., Feb. 15.-Nothing has developed to show why the grand jury yesterday decided to dispense with the advice and presence of States Attorney John H. Lewman during the remainder of their vote selling investigation, but it is ru- mored that he has not lent enthu- siastic support to the work of pro curing evidence. Judge Kimbrough said today that no suggestion had been made to him. either by the grand jury or Lewman, for the ap- pointment of a special prosecutor.
 George B Weisiger. a young law student. member of the jury, is now conducting the examination of the witnesses. and it is said that he will continue in that capacity.
 Several witnesses were examined today in the vote-selling inquiry. and others were summoned for tomorrow.

PAID \ HALF MILLION FOR TWENTY YEAR CONTRACT
The National League Designates an of-
 Official Baseball.

New York, Feb. 15.-For a bonus, said on good authority to be $500.000. the National League of Professional Base ball Clubs, in session here made a twenty year contract today with a leading sporting goods firm to use a baseball of its manufacture for the of ficial league ball
 In taking this action. the magnates rejected an offer of Cincinnati firm said to have been $325,0 in twenty annual installments of s16,250. of which half was to be in cash and half in base balls supplied.
 There are but two scheduled double headers-both in Boston. Each club plays at home on twenty-six Saturdays. The salary of President Thomas J. Lynch was increased from s9,000 to $1O,OOO.
 Heretofore it has been commonly supposed, even among the players. that the big leagues paid about 97 cents each for balls, which sell at retail at Is1.25 But the developments show they not only pay nothing. but receive all the balls they use free and very con- siderable cash besides The ball in question is made in Chicago and the contract begins with the season of 1912.
 The league schedule was adopted to- day without change and the schedule already prepared and sent out stands for the season.
 The club mileage for the season. ac- cording to the schedule. will be as fol- lows: Boston. 11.124; Brooklyn, 9,397; New York, lO,574; Philadelphia. s.S3s; Pittsburg, 1S,5s0; Cincinnati, 10.s62; Chicago, 1457s, and St. Louis. 11,Osl.

MEASURES ATTITUDES.
The Use of tho Paragraph on Aero
planes and Balloons.

What the compass is to the mariner
the barograph. is to the aviator. The
Paragraph is an instrument for meas
air as it increases or decreases causes
n delicate needle to traceia wayy line
upon a cylinder which revolves by
clockwork. This line Indicates not
only the exact height that is reached
by the aviator, but also 'the speed at
which he Is travelling.
The Paragraph is keptsin a weather
proof box with a glass front, which Is
attached to a bar Of the i~aeroplane or
10 u rope on the balloon. 1t Is official
ly sealed before the aviator embarks,
so there is no possibility of tampering
with it, and the seal is taken off in
the presence Of witnesses at the END
Of the flight. In this wayIi it is posi-
bic to establish absolutelyiand graph
ically the altitude which an aviator
attains in his aeroplane or balloon.
1t is necessary for the aviator to
watch the Paragraph constantly, as it
indicates a change in the elevation al
most to the foot. The sky pilot has to
keep his V on the indicator much as
the man at the wheel OF the seagoing
ship watches his compass. Should the
]acroplane or the balloon rise or fall
ten or twenty feet the aviator would
not be conscious of it unless he looked
at the wavcring needle tracing its
permanent record on a chart before
him. This tells him Immediately Of
any changes in the nature Of the air
currents and gives him timely warning
Of aerial dangers.
These instruments are so delicate
ana SO accurate, it is said, that a man
might hang one Of them about his
neck in its glass case or carry it in his
hand and climb n flight Of stairs, the
height OF his ascent being graphically
Indicated by the linked needle on the
machine.-Ncw York Press.
