ENGLAND WANTS AMERICA
TO FIGHT GERMANY

as saying he believed the arbitration
treaty would probably lead England
and the United States to follow it with
an agreement to join each other in
case either had a quarrel with anoth-
er nation" Hitchcock said it was easy
to see that Grey referred to Germany
when he spoke, and that England
would desire the United States to join
her against Germany, if Germany re-
fused arbitration.
He said that even if the treaty did
not end in an alliance that it would in
evitably promote controversies, en-
courage claims, and cause diplomatic
arrangements through which Ameri-
can interests would likely suffer.

| Judge Nelson this morning finished
up his work in rating the birds at the
Panhandle Poultry show, and the
amateur in fowls can now tell by the
ribbons attached to the coops just
what it is constitutes a proper bird.
The sweepstakes of the show, for the
biggest and best display to r. H.
Steele of Charleston, who won on Barr
ed Plymouth Rocks. There were num-
erous other special prizes awarded.
Poultry fanciers declare that Judge
Nelson's work was excellent. The
birds were scored in strict fashion, and
the result gave almost universal sat
isfaction.
There was one complaint:
"They disqualified my pullet," de-
clAred George S. Childers, this morn
ing, because she didn't have some lit
tie du- jinger in her comb. Never the
less that. pullet was the best bird in
the show. Listen and you will agree.
That hens got more sense than lots
of folks. Why on Christmas eve she
laid two eggs, just as a present to
the folks at home. Yes sir. That hens
human. And here he disqualified her
just because she didn't have that ding
us in her comb"

statements made by Senator Hitchcock

arbitration treaties would permit an

The company will also shortly in
stall air compressors for riveting
machines, and will put in a threading
machine for use on from 1-8 inch to
21a inch steel.
These extensions and improvements
are in keeping with the policy of the
directorate of standardizing the parts
Of the Little Idaho" as soon as they,
are demonstrated as perfect for their
purpose. This makes such parts inter
changeable, and keeps the cost for the
upkeep of the machine at a minimum,
as well as giving the company great
er efficiency in it's manufacturing end,
and big advantage in the purchase Of
raw material.

Evans death with deep regret this
morning. Not only from his heroic
record as a national defender, but
from the fact that he had in 1903 Wis.

have many admirers in this city.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Rear Ad-

two hours.
Admiral Evans arose yesterday ap-
parently in better health and spirits
than he had enjoyed in some time.
For years a sufferer from old wounds
sustained in the Civil war and from re-
current attacks of rheumatic gout, the
aged fighter seemed to have shaken
off the burden OF his advancing days.
He displayed high spirit at break

noon.
While In his library at o'clock the
admiral was stricken. His family
sent instantly for DR.. S. S. Adams,
who on arrival found him in great
pain. After treatment Admiral Ev-
ans fell into a restless sleep and 1t
was thought the danger had passed.
Shortly after o'clock, however, he
awakened and raising himself with
difficulty, announced that he was
choking.
