AVIATOR BROOKINS TO
 RESCUE OF MIRED BULL. Hereford Yanked From the Mud By Means of Automobile Power.

The Wright Brothers aviation
 grounds outside of Dayton, O., adjoin a farm which is more than locally
 famous for its fine breed of Here ford bulls. One of these splendid specimens had strayed into the road and had become mired in ooZe be- side the roadway. His frantic efforts to free himself had only resulted in his sinking deeper and deeper, un- til his shoulders had gone into the mud.
 The farmers had discovered the anil
 malls predicament and had vainly tried to pull him out with block and
 tackle. They were about to give up
 and shoot the bull when Walter
 Brookins. one. of the most famous
 members of the Wright aviation team,
 drove by in his speedwel1 roadster.
 He stopped, sized up the situation.
 thrilled thousands at aviation meets turned in another direction, soon had a chain around the bulls force-Quar- ters. He attached the other end to his car and in a few minutes the bull had been yanked from the mud and
 stood on the solid roadway.
 Hardlys had the chain been un- hooked from BrookinS car than the bull, awakening to the fact that the Speedwen is bright red and that he was overlooking a splendid oppor- tunity, lowered his head and charged.
 Brookins saw him coming, however, and dashed away from the road be-
 fore the bull could give a demonstra- tion of bovine 1ngratitude.

POLI'S.

There is realism with a vengeance at the finale of the second act of '"The City, Clyde Fitch's play being produc- ed at Polls this week by the Poli Players. John Junior enacts the role of George Frederick Hammock, a con- firmed drug fiend and prior to the finale of the act he learns that he has married his own sister. The horror of 1t all crazes him, leaves him bereft of reason and he pitifully begs that the truth be kept from the girl. When he finds that she is to be told a real spark of manhood in him asserts it. self and he shoots the girl Then he desperately tries to turn the revolver upon himself and die with her. He is prevented from doing this after one of the most sensational scenes in American drama. MT. Junior has scored a hit that will survive long after the stock season is over. His makeup, his interpretation of the role, his manerisms and his terrible frenzy all contribute to wonderful acting and the physical effort is such that he has to be carried to his dressing, room after each performance. This young actor made great impression on his first appearance here some weeks ago and although he has been cast in light comedy roles his undertaking the pres ent week has shown the stuff that is in him, and it would please Poli pa irons to see him cast in roles equally important the rest of the season. 'The City, may be daring almost brutal in theme but ofttimes the truth about things seems brutal and so it is in this instance. MT. Ince, MT. Kirke, Miss Hollinger, Miss Martin Scho- field and the other principals have prominent roles and contribute largely to the success of the performance. Be- tween the acts illustrated songs and motion pictures enliven the waits and coupons are being distributed for a handsome brass bedstead now on ex
 hibition at George B. Clark and Go. For next week the company has in active rehearsal that great play of western life "The Virginian" which will serve to introduce several mem- hers of the original cnnnanY

The Reciprocity Treaty.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Though the
president today conferred with several
persons upon the Canadian reciprocity
situation. he has not taken any step
to expedite its passage through Con.
gress and does not, it is said, contem-
plate any activities in this direction.
The president considers that in pre-
senting the treaty to tho country he
has done all that properly lies within
his province and that the treaty must
now lie Judged by the people. The re-
sponsibility for the adoption of it. he
considers, lies with the representatives
OF the people in Congress. II the ma
jorty of the people do not agree with
his expressed views in urging free trade
with the Dominion, he is contented to
abide by their verdict. Though watch
ing every development OF opinion
closely, the pre- ident believes it still
too early to obtain any we'll founded
judgment of the general reception Of
the treaty.
kilograms are now flooding the
White House which, according to the
sources of information, are unani.
nous in their support Of the treaty.
Those are mostly from chambers OF
commerce. In contradiction to these
kilograms many of the members OF
Congress who haya called in the past
few days have voiced unfayorable
opinion Of the treaty. They seem
about equally divided upon The ques-
ton. What action may be taken by
the president in the event that Con-
gress refuses to pass or conclusively
dea! with the treaty ut this session cam
not now be learned. The attitude of
the presidsnt on this point seems to be
that sufficient for the day is the evil
thereof" Certainly the treaty cues
ton has been source Of far more
worry to the men OF the Capitol than
it appears to he at the present time ut
the White House where the admins
trative frame of mind is said to be "ex-
trenely complacent. +"

increase for 1912 to continue the two
dreadnaughts year programme Is
carried by the naval appropriation bill,
reported TO the House this afternoon
by Representative Foss, chairman OF
The House naval affairs committee.
Because OF the extra expense, due TO
the new dreadnaughts, Florida, being
built III \ navy yard and the great in
crease in the estimated cost Of the bat
tlcsllip authorized in last years naval
act, to be built in 4 navy yard, the
committee inserted n provision repeal
ing the provision in the act OF last year,
which authorized Que battleship to be
built in 4 navy yard.
The committee recommends the re.
peal Of the provision Of last years naval
act, whereby the contracts for the con
! strurtion OF vessels therein authorized
shall contain 4 provision requiring thai
said vessels shall be built under the
eight hour law"
On the ground of economy ant
greater efficiency, the committee ha:
provided for the consolidation of all the

rcau of yards and docks-a branch oil

engineering corps.
The naval appropriation bill carries
$l25 42l ,43S. n to run the naval es.
adjustment for the next fiscal year.
The bill shows n decrease Of nearly
six million dollars in comparison to

The bill also makes provision for two
batllCships, two GOLFERS, S torpedo boat
destroyers and 4 submarines, appro-
priating S34, 720.S1G to build the yes
scIs The bill provides All additional
allowance OF $400, C00 to complete the
drcadnought Florida, now under con-
struction in the New York navy yard.
The committee in its report on the
bill recommends that the provision in
the law that battleships must be built
under the hour labor law be repealed.
1t declares that no bids have been re-
ceved for building ships authrized last
year because they cannot be proitably
huilt under the appropriation, il the s
hour Limitation is observed. The bill car
riesa provision repeating last years law
that at least one battleship is to be
built in government navy yard. 1t

preparation for the collier was 81 ,000,-
600 and the committee declares it can
not be built in Il government yard for

SATURDAY EVENING. Jan.

In addressing the newly-formed
Inter. Chrrcl, Federation OF New Jcr-
sey at Trenton yesterday Governor
Woodrow Wilson declared that the
organization was evidence that the
churches were cooperating to empha-
size the things in which they agree
and not those in which they differ.
He said it was part OF the larger
subject Of the age in which men were
living, by which men in different
parties besides the church were coming
together in planning for bettermcnt Of
conditions and for the common good.
The foundation OF the federation, he
pointed out, was the development OF
the true spirit of democracy. 1t was
n spirit. motive which is deeper
down than the mere plan OF political
party; a spirit which says the life OF
one man is just as valuable as the life
of another aud therefore was opposed TO
special privileges. He declared that
the spirit of democracy was like the
spirit of Christianity. You can't
think OF Christianity" he said, as
being a matter OF special privilege &c
any person or set OF persons. 1t Is
for all. It is the administration OF
the government, and is every mans
matter.
