Boston, Feb. l1.-Seeking the in

paganda for better roads in New Eng
land. Mayor John +. Fitzgerald has
written Names Chief Executive in
criticism of the highways in the south
western part OF that State.
The letter. which was given out for
publication from the mayors office
Thursday night. refers particularly to
the road between Portsmouth. \. H.,
and Saco, Me, where the mayor says
hr recently found "wretched travelling"
while on an automobile trip.
Declaring that Such an entrance
into the State of Maine conveys an
uatavorable, and ! am sure, unjust i'm

AN EXTRA SESSION
Not improbable to Decide Reciprocity
Question in Senate.

Washington. Feb. 1.-The Canadian
reciprocity measure will be considered
by the Senate committee on finance at
a special session to be held Saturday.
II is not likely that the bill will be
disposed of in the committee in one
day, although all its members are
agreed that action shall not be de-
layed unnecessarily. Senator's Lodge
and Smoot members of the committee,
assured President Taft THURSDAY that
the bill would not be Smothered in the
committee, regardless of how much
opposition there might be to it.
From present indications the bill
will be returned to the Senate about
Wednesday, and certainly not later
than Thursday. 1t may be that no
report. either favorable or adverse,
Will be made upon it, chiefly because
the objections which members of the
committee hold to the measure lead
them to desire to amend it if it is
TO be given the force Of committee
the members of the committee feel
1t would be better to submit the
whole matter directly to the Senate
without recommendation. However,
all this may be changed when the
committee meets
reaching a vote end many of them
are inclined to the view that an extra
session cannot be avoided.

One of the most peculiar building

FOR ANNEXATION. A
Bennett of New York Introduces Reso'
luton to Start the Ball.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Rep. Bennet
Of New York, one of the Republicans
who voted against Canadian reciproc-
ity, Thursday introduced in the House
resolution requesting the President
to enter into negotiations with the
British government looking to the an
nexation of Canada by the United
States. The resolution was referred to
the committee on foreign affairs.
In speaking of his resolution Bennett
insisted that he was both serious and
sincere. He declared that to his mind
annexation was the logical result to
be looked forward to, following reel
procity. He insisted he would ask for
consideration of his resolution in the
committee on foreign affairs. of which
he is member.
The Bennet resolution is as follows:
Resolved by the House of epresen-
tatives the Senate concurring, that
the President of the United States be
requested to enter upon and to pros
ecute from time to time such negotia-
tions with the British government as
lie may deem expedient for the annex
alton o: the Dominion of Canada to the
United States of America"

most of both for their own uses.

perienced aviator was forced to dive into
the Hudson river with an aeroplane
Thursday while trying to fly from. a point
near the New Jersey Palisades to Central
Park in the center of Manhattan island.
He narrowly escaped with his life.
The motor of his biplane stopped when
Morok was nearly 1900 feet above the
river and about 100 yards from the Jer-
sey shore. He dared not try to glide
back to the Palisades lest he should dash
himself against the cliffs. or try to reach
the New York side with power gone.
Within sight of thousands who had gath

to the river.

PATCHWORK.
This Ancient Occupation Is As Popu

The idea that patchwork had its
origin in America is not founded on
fact. y thousand years before the
Christian era a queen of Egypt went
down the Nile to her last resting place
under wonderful canopy of skins
that were dyed and pieced together in
"a mosaic pattern. Years before this
work had reached perfection and ac-
quired definite place among the arts
Then. too. patchwork quilts were made

Sutherland provision and by Senators
Carter and Hepburn in support of it.
Mr. Hepburn was the last speaker.
While he was on the floor number OF
other senators engaged i'll active work
for an agreement upon definite time
for vote, and the announcement was
at last made that Mr.. Hepburn was the
only senator whose assent to this ar
rangement had not been obtained. IT
was hoped that he would consent. but he
declined, saying he would not agree to
vote on the main proposition until he
knew the fate of the Sutherland amend
ment. When. therefore. Mr.. Borah, the
other Idaho senator, in charge of the res
olution, asked for an agreement to vote
next Wednesday, Mr. Hepburn objected.
one objection, of course. prevented unan-
imous agreement and no course was left
to Mr.. Borah except to ask the Senate to
sit in a night session. It looked for a
time as if he would succeed In this. but
all hopes in that direction were soon dis
sipated
Mr.. Galinger moved an adjournment.
The friends of the measure rallied AMI
on roll call voted the motion down, Al
to %. but Il few minutes later Senator
Nelson. who had waited all day for an
opportunity TO speak. made a plea for a
nights rest before beginning. Thereupon
the Senate went into executive session
and adjourned soon afterwards.
During the day President Taft was ap-
pealed to to assist in getting night ses
sion on the resolution in tile interest OF
the dispatch of general business. but late
in the day word came from the Whit :
House that he mad not been able to do
anything in that direction. At the clos"
of the sitting the friends of the measure
were by no means as hopeful of getting
vote at any time during the session dT
they had boon.
