Russia Notified Yesterday.

WASHINGTON Dec. 1s.--President
Taft notified. the senate committee on
foreign relations at meeting that he
had notified Russia Of the abrogation
of the treaty OF 1882. The notification
was sent on December IS to the Amer
lean ambassador and was delivered
by him to the Russian government
on Dec. II.
The action Of the president was an
nounced by members of the senate
committee who said the notice was
served as recited in the United Press
dispatches this morning The exact
time of the notice to Russia was set
forth. The letter to the czar reiter-
ated the abrogation was due to mis-
understanding in the Interpretation,
of the old treaty.
AT the whitehouse it was announced
that the president would send mes
sage on the subject to the senate this
afternoon.
When the senate opened this after
noon message from the president
| was read setting forth his action in
notifying Russia that he would abro-
gate the treaty. Senator Lodge inn
mediately introduced substitute for
the Sulzer resolution, as approved by
the foreign relations committee. An
objection to immediate consideration
made by Senator Hepburn (rep.,
Idaho, action on the resolution was
postponed until tomorrow. The reso,

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Dec. 1s.-
There is possibility that. at the
conclusion Of the federal investiga-
tion of the dynamite conspiracy, the
state will continue the probe with
view to prosecuting persons who may
be implicated In the plot but who can
not be reached by federal law.
Frank P. Baker, prosecutor for Mar
ion county, says that he believes that
the evidence gathered by the govern
ment in the current inquiry will bs
available for use by the state attor-
neys when the federal grand jury Is
through with it. Several destructive
dynamite explosions occurred in IN
dianapolis during the time the con-
1 spirators were operating and it is not
unlikely that an investigation will be
set on foot by the state.
The federal grand jury resumed the
dynamite plot inquiry today at a. m.

WASHINGTON Dec. 1S.-Represen-

resolution amended
Il have no vanity of phraseology in
my resolution he said. while be-
lieve that the resolution as worded
simply states the truth am perfect
ly willing to have the wording altered
if that is found necessary. The main
point is the abrogation OF the treaty.
This matter has risen above all
political considerations in the house.

Gar Handed a Lemon
AS Taft's Christmas Gift
Not only Jews.


limited Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-That Roman
Catholics and protestants are as vital
ly concerned in the pending abroga-
ton of the Russian treaty OF 1882 as
are the Jews, was the statement made
today to the United Press by Oscar
Straus. former cabinet member, form
er ambassador to Turkey, and one of
the leaders in the movement to cancel
the pact.
1t must be understood" declared
Straus, that this movement is not
made wholly in defense of the Jewish
people, though they are citizens OF
America as well as other people.
Roman Catholic priests and protestant
clergymen and missionaries are bein--
disseminated against just as much as
are the Jewish people.
THE situation in nutshell Is
this:
In 1892 there was signed treaty
between the United States and Russia.
Russia agreed to give free access to
American people in all parts of Rus
sia. In extension for which the Unit
ed States guaranteed to give similar
access to Russians desiring to enter
the United States. There we're NO
exceptions noted in the treaty.
Russia. as well as other foreign
countries, demands that foreign citi
bens travelling through Russia, shall
bear passports from their home gov
ernments. To this there can be nc
objection.
'.Pn' i.o., forty years ago, Russia
"san discriminating against Catho
/ lie priests, protestant clergymen ane
missionaries, and Jews, in violation
iof the terms OF the treaty.
when an American appears at the
Russian frontier, prepared to entel
Russia, he must have his passpor'
viewed by the Russian consul. A mum
ber of question are asked the traveller
One OF them is: What is your pro
lfession?' Another is; What is YOU
jreligion?' If the traveller replies tha
he is priest, clergyman or mission
ary. he is barred. II he replies he Il
a Jew, likewise he is barred. This i
a violation of the treaty Of 1882

THE USES OF WIRELESS.

The rescue of the passengers and
crew OF the Pacific Mail liner Asia by
a vessel which was summoned to the
aid of the wrecked ship by wireless
telegraphy is simply another illustra
ton of the uses of this new science.
Up to date practically all the uses to
which wireless has been put is in the
rescuing of persons and property
threatened with destruction on seas
and the large lakes and in the detec-
ton and running down of criminals.
Probably the best known instance of
the latter kind was when Dr.. Crippen
was followed across the Atlantic by
wireless messages and was arrested
as soon as his boat reached the har-
Dor. OF course the carrying of news
has also been an important part of the
work of the wireless and matters of
great Importance have been transmit
ted to all parts of the world by the
Associated Press on the same day the
news broke where without the aid of
wireless it would have been days and
possibly weeks before it was received
at the regular telegraph offices. There
is another use to which wireless may
be put at some future date but which
We all hope it may never be pressed
into service and that is in case of
war. With the aid of wireless and
aeroplanes war would be made more
horrible than at any time in the his
tory of the world. Messages flashed
out of the air, carried without wires,
and bombs and other missels of de-
dropped from the skies upon
vessels powerless to protect them
selves or into camps of sleeping SOL
ders, bring to the Imagination a con-
dition which it is almost impossible to
realize. 1t is possible, however, that
just 'hese very aids to making war a
horrible thing may make for a quick.

LOCAL CnURCHES WILL
AID in GOOD CAUSE
SUNDAY, APRIL 80 SET ASIDE AS
TUBERCULOSIS DAY ALL
OVER COUNTRY.
Movement to Disseminate Gospel Of
Good Health is Widespread-Spe-
ciai Services in Bismarck Churches.

April 80 has been set aside this
year as tuberculosis day, and will be
observed in 100000 churches in the
country in manner similar to that
OF tuberculosis Sunday in 1910, when
over 10000 sermons were preached
on the prevention of consumption.
The National Association for the
study and prevention of tuberculosis
hopes to enlist all Of the $4,000, 900
church members in the country in
this movement.
In one respect tuberculosis day
will differ from tuberculosis Sunday
in 1910. Instead Of requesting the
churches to give the tuberculosis
cause a special Sunday service, the
plan is, to ask this year that meet
ings at which the subject OF tubercul-
Osis and its prevention can be dis
cussed, be held on Sunday, April 80,
or on any other day near that date,
either in the week preceding or the
week following. What is desired is
that the subject of tuberculosis be
discussed in all of the 100000 church
es of the United States at as nearly
the same time as possible. This does
not demand that a stated service be
given over to this work, although
that might be desirable, but that any
minister, or other authority whom he
may invite, may present the problem
to his congregation before or after
his regular service or on any day
within the week preceding or follow
ing April 30.
The national association is plan
ming to gather statistics from thou
sands of ministers, showing how SER
ious problem tuberculosis is to ev.
cry church. These figures will indi-
cate among other things the number
of deaths last year from tuberculosis
in church congregations, and the eX-
tent to which clergymen are called
upon to minister to sufferers from
this disease. 1t is planned also to is
sue millions of circulars and pamph-
lets on the prevention of tuberculosis,
both from the national office and from
the headquarters of the $50 anti-tu-
berculosis associations who will CO.
operate in this movement.
The North Dakota Anti.Tuberculo-
sis association has sent circular to
ministers of all denominations in the
state asking them to lend helping
hand against the greatest foe of the
race. A great many responses have
already been received expressing
sympathy with the movement and
promising cooperation.
In the capital, city there will be
several of the pastors give special
attention to this topic Sunday. Dr.
A. Lincoln Shute of the McCabe
Methodist church will set aside Sun
day evening for special services on
this subject. Rev. C. w. Harris of
the First Presbyterian church will
touch upon the topic during his SER
mons. Rev. Lehner of the Emanuel
Evangelical church will devote a SER
mon to it and there will be others of
the local pastors who will do their
share in disseminating the gospel of
good health to the members of their
congregations.

THE FIGHT BEGINS.

Mr., Underwood says the House ma
iority has no purpose to shut off de-
bate on the farmers free list bill.
Naturally the bill will lead to vigor-
Gus discussion. 1t covers ground
broader than that covered by Cana
dian reciprocity, and tempts tariff
takers in many directions, according
to the Washington, D. c., STAR 1t has
taken the republicans somewhat by
surprise; and while they will be hur-
ried with the preparation of their
objections, the subject is OF such
moment to them they must do their
best in the time allotted.
The definite announcement is made
now that both the wool and the cot
ton schedules will be reported on by
the House at this session, and this
should mean a liberal allowance of
time for debate also as to them. They
too, go to the marrow Of the tariff
question, and are certain to bring out
in force not only those whose con-
stituents are directly interested in
those two schedules, but those who
think it may be the turn of their con-
stituents next in other revisions to
follow.
In other words. Congress is now
ready for the tariff event Canadian
reciprocity was a mere Warmer-up.
But the blankets are now off, the
judges in the stand, the bell has
sounded, and the public is expecting
race-a contest all the way around,
and not a fight for first place in

It is noteworthy that the business
world is in no violent agitation. What
causes the composure is open to spec
ulation. Some ascribe it to the poll
tical division that exists between the
two houses of Congress. They look
At most for a compromise in what
ever may be done. Others incline to
the opinion that nothing at all will be
done; that the House record when
complete will be unacceptable to the
senate, and, as result, adjournment

any kind having been enacted into

start will be made, with the presiden.

There is an assurance against ex-

neither party is unit as to tariff
policy. Canadian reciprocity merely
suggested the situation. We shall
now see it developed, if not to the
full, at least to that point where the
leaders of the two parties must hold
executive sessions about their respec-
tive difficulties. A party divided
against itself cannot stand. If the
