Trouble Brewing at Gather.
iDq Where Dove Of Peace
Should Nest
Arbitration Treaties are Bone
Of Contention Between
Leaders
(By Associated Press.)


NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Declaring If
it was the purpose of the citizens of
the peace committee banquet here to-
night to support the arbitration
treaties, that he thought it not merely
wrong but essentially unworthy, and
however unconsciously a hypocrdtical
move against the interest Of peace
and against the honor ad interest of
United States civilization," Theodore
Roosevelt, in correspondence between
him and Millard J. Bloomer, execu-
tive secretary of the committee, made
public today, explained why he will
not attend the banquet tonight with
Taft as the guest of honor.
IF you intend ito support THESE
treaties, however, the principal let
ter reads. with the amendments in
troduced by Senators Root and Lodge,
then you are all right, because you are
supporting what is not very important
but still sincere effort will make
things a little better I cannot per-
init the use of my name at the peace
banquet, however, because I don't
huO" wlLnI V1C U0ANuCt 10
IT it is meant to overawe the SEN
ate and force that body against dts
conscience to support the amended
treaties, which the senate committee
on foreign relations has shown by un-
anawerabge argument to be hostile 10
the honor and interest Of the Amer
lean people, then am not in Gympa-
thy with you"
Among the subjects Roosevelt said
he believed not to arbdtral we're the
Monroe doctrine the state bond ques-
ton, the right of America to abrogate
the Russian treaty of 1882, and the
Question of allowing unlimited Asiatdc
immigration into the United States.
He declared II the purpose of the
banquet in arbitrating these questions
might be justified in wishing to pass
the unamended treaties, but In such
case "you will occupy very foolish
and unpatriotic position"
Bloomer answered that the form OF
invitation to the banquet had been
changed so as not to include the rati-
hication Of the proposed treaties, add
ing that the banquet in his opinion
should be a demonstration for a
broad, honest peace movement. Rooee-
velt's reply favored this with the
traditional policy Of the country's
good will and fair treatment to all
nations of mankind" Replying to an
other letter Of Boomers, Roosevelt
said: UNFORTUNATELY, 1t is not posi-
BILE for me to accept any invitation OF
any kind. Otherwise I would surely
accept this.'

Miners ! ENJOY.
A HOLIDAY

Wilton News: The Waahburn Lig
n1te coal mine closed down Saturday
night and gave the men lay off until
Tuesday morning in order that they
might all celebrate Christmas The
company gave to each family living
/ i'm Chaplin and Langhorn a Christmas
box, and the Chaplin Sunday school
gave an entertainment and treat
Thursday evening at the school house.
A crowded house greeted the children
and an excellent program was car
ried out. A big tree tastefully deco
rated and brilliantly Illuminated
pleased the children. A treat of
candy wound up the evenings pleas
ure.
Manager Ira Tour.otte of the Chaplin
hotel gave his boarders an old fash
ioned Christmas dinner which was ap'
preciated by the men to the fullest ex-
tent
The work at the mine has been
pushed to the limit during the past
three months and the employees were
CAD of a short breathing spell. The
output of coal has been a record
breaker thus far this season, never In
the history of this famous mine has
so many tons been mined. The large
amount of onders which poured in
necessitated the company increasing
the output.

ATKINSON RETURNS
FROM GRAND FORKS
ADDRESSED GOOD ROADS COM

Phopossd Meridian Road From the

Proposed Meridian Road From the
r. Gulf to Winnipeg.
II have just returned from Grand
Forks, where 1 talked to the good
roads committee Of The Commercial
club there ON the meridian road prop
ositdon," said State Engineer Atkin-
son today. The state engineer ds deep
~ interested in the meridian road
proposition and at the Grand Forks
meeting presented a scheme by which
the county commissioners may assist
in the construction Of the road by
converting the fund which was re-
turned from the automobile licenses
by the state department as provided
by law.
Il presented this idea to the good
roads committee of the Grand Forks
club and immediately its members
had me go over with them to the
county commissioners who we're then
in session, where I talked to them. At
once they fell in with my idea and
voted to convert this fund to that
purpose"
This fund referred to by the state
engineer is that PORTION of the state
automobile license fund which is COL
lected from each county and returned
to these said counties after clerk hire
and all expenses entalled in the COL
lection thereof.
Mr.. Atkinson evidently gave such a
convincing talk both before the Com
mercial club members OF Grand
Forks and the county commissioners
of Grand Forks county Ahat he in
fhenced them to vote On a PROPOSE
ton which may materially aid in the
construction of the great meridian
road which is to reach from Winnipeg
to the gulf, striking the tropical
waters at the city Of Galveston, Tex.
