Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator
of Sherlock Holmes" and 'Briga-
der Gerard" and The White Com
pany'' and "Sir Nigel" and other
famous characters in fiction. has already
entered two stories in our Sunday Maya
zine ten-thousand-dollar prize COMPETE
ton, and will probably enter yet another.
The competition opened last week, with
Herman Scheffauers great story. The
Passion Of the Peak" and tomorrow the
second candidate for honors will be
Doyle's story. THE Contest
1t seems odd that story with such
title should itself be entered in a con-
test for prizes. but Sir Arthur did not
know it's destination when he wrote 1t.
THE Contest is the tale OF an exploit

the Grecian town OF Olympia to seek
honors as a singer. In the free compe-
tition" that followed goatherd lead the

TO CONSIDER ABR0GAT|0N
OF TREATY WITH RUSSIA

Declaring that the treaty Of 1872 be
tween the United States and Russia has
been violated by Russia because Hebrews
vino are citizens of this country are de-
MED the privileges extended to other
american travellers in Russia. Represen-
fative Herbert Parsons of New York yes
:erday introduced resolution in the
House calling Upon President Taft to
declare the treaty void.
The resolution introduced by Mr.. Par
IONS insists that the fundamental prin-
.ciple of the American government is that
the rights of its citizens shall not be i'm
paired al home OF abroad because OF re-
licious beliefs. The violation of the treaty
OF 1S22. it is said, lies in the fact that
American Hebrews are subjected to the
same restrictions that are placed on Rus
sian Hebrews. The President is asked to
notify Russia of the abrogation of the
treaty within one year.
The resolution introduced by Represen-
tative Parsons follows A recommendation
made by the Union of American Hebrew
{ Congregations in New Iork that the treaty
nc ahrogated. This recommendation was
submitted To President Taft soon after
its adoption last month. Before Presi-
dent Taft left here Thursday he had de-
Cided to invite number of the leading
Hebrews in this country to a luncheon
and conference at the White House next
Wednesday at ESQ o'clock for the pur-
pose Of considering what steps should be
taken in the matter.
Might Cause Massacre.
There is a feeling that should the
treaty OF friendship between this coun-
try and Russia be broken, as has been
proposed. it might go hard with the He
hrn IN,
might be massacre. the Russians TAX
ing the stand that the treaty with this
country had been abrogated on account
of the Hebrews.
II Is on this account largely that
President Taft has asked the leading
Hebrews of the country to meet him in
conference. At that conference will be
Secretary Knox and Secretary Nagel
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor Should the treaty be abrogated
it is believed there would be a great
exodus of Hebrews from Russia to this
country.
Those Invited to Confer.
Those Hebrews who have been invited
to the conference are: J. Walter Fret
berg. president of the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations: Bernhard Belt
man, honorary president of the union:
Simon Wolf. chairman of the board of
delegates on civil rights: Adolph Kraus
of Chicago. president of the Independent
Order of B'nai Birth; Judge Philip Stein
Of Chicago and Jacob Furth of ST. Louis,
members of the advisory committee OF
B'nai Birth: Judge Mayer Sulzberger of
Philadelphia. president OF the American
Jewish committee: Louis Marshall OF
New York and Jacob II. Schiff of New
York.
There is a clause in the present treaty
with Russia 10 the effect that citizens of
the United States are to be treated in
Russia are Russian citizens of the
ia me class and religion. The Russians
Ii is said. take advantage of this clause
to treat Hebrews who are American cit
liens as they treat their own Hebrews.
Protest against this has been made
time and again by this country.

FRANK WORK NINETY-TWO.
Veteran Sportsman Hale and Hearty,
But Seldom Goes Out.

NEW YORK. February l1.-F'rank
Work. the veteran sportsman. who for
nearly seventy years has been known
throughout the country as an owner and
camraigner of fast horses. is celebrating
his ninety-second birthday at his homo

every fine day visited his stable. Friends
who called on him today found him still
hale and hearty. though he seldom goes
out any more.
Mr.. Work came here from Chillicothe.

active horseman he owned many or the

Examiner Makes Suggestion.

One way in which the scarcity Of man
teachers may be overcome. according to
member Of the board OF examiners,
would be to place in the board Of educa-
ton power to offer positions to good men
at better salary than Is now offered. AT
present a salary scale regulates the
amount OF money a teacher snail receive,
based not on his ability to teach, but
on the number OF years he has taught.
To avoid disturbing the school system
by the resignation Of teachers at any time
1t may be suggested TO the board OF edu-
cation in the near future that teachers
be put under contract to serve full year,
or at the very least to give months
notice. At present notice OF only ten
DAYS Is REQUIRED, which. 1t is claimed, Is
entirely too short a time In which to get
suitable teachers to All vacancies.

fellow went away rejoicing anI de Ia

Reflects Feeling of Hostility.
Such incidents and constant threa S
upon the lives of ministers are only in
dications of the present general hostility
to what is considered the ags .ession OF
foreign Frs upon the integrity OF China.
The members OF the government appear
TO be seriously hamDered, though. in the
opinion of the diplomatists here, strong
policy would dissioate or crush all absurd
hostility.
1t is the declared policy of the govern
ment to proceed with the. building of
railways. believing them TO be essential
to the very object which the people de-
sire-the strengthening of China And
the government is aware, from frequent
experience, that sufficient money to con-
struct any given line is only obtaina bic

difficulty and at higher rates of interest

Lack Confidence in Government.
The explanation is that the Chinese of
the wea thy class have no confidence in
Chinese administration. while foreigners
are in a position at all times to press for
the interest and repaymen,s on loans.
The legations are of the opinion that
at the proper time the government will
be pleased to receive little pressure
from them with regard to the Hukuan
and other leans now in allegiance as this
pressure can be made by the government
