SPECIAL SESSION ENDS
Proposed Agreement to Pay Colombia
100000 Withdrawn.

Proposed Agreement to Pay Colombia
100000 Withdrawn.
The special senate session, which
began March 5, adjourned sine die.
The treaty with Colombia to pay
s25,O00,000 for the partition of Pana
ma was withdrawn on motion of Sen
ator Stone, Democrat, Missouri, chair
man of the foreign relations commit
tee.
Withdrawal of the treaty was taken
to foreshadow diplomatic negotiations
with Colombia for a new treaty, which
would not meet such strong objections
An effort to frame a more acceptable
measures is expected before the con
gress, which convenes in special ses
sion, April IS, has been adjourned.
The withdrawal was unexpected, in
view Of the announcement that Presi
dent Wilson wanted it ratified now be
cause of the situation in Central Amer
lea. 1t was taken after consultation
with Democrats of the committee, and
with the understanding that further
attempts would be made to draft a
convention acceptable to enough Re
publican senators to assure ratifica
tioE.
The attitude Of the administration
in the withdrawal was not openly dis
closed, but it was apparent such &C
tion would not have been taken with
out previous understanding.

WILSON TRIES TO
AVERT STRIKE
Sends MediatOrS to Confer
With Both Sides,
ADDS HIS PERSONAL PLEA
The President Appeals for Settlement
On Grounds of National Emergency.
Conference Arranged.

Conference Arranged.
President Wilson and his cabinet &c
cided on a plan of action by which
it is hoped the threatened nationwide
railroad strike will be averted.
The action is to have SecretaIe OF
the Interior Lane, Secretary Of Labor
Wilson, and Daniel Willard and Sam
uel Gompers, members Of the advisory
commission of the council of national
defence, confer at once with represen
tatives of both sides. Mr.. Willard is
president of the Baltimore and OhiC
railroad. Mr.. Gompers is presideni
Of the American Federation Of Labor
In addition to this step the presi
dent sent personal appeal to repre-
sentatives OF, the two sides in the con
troversy, urging that they do every
thing possible to cooperate with the
mediation committee.
The presidents appeal follows:
81 deem it my duty and right to ap
peal to you in this time of national
peril to open again the questions at
issue between the railroads and the.r
operatives with a view to accommoda
ton or settlement.
with my approval committee OF
the ccancil of national defence is about
10 seek a conference with you with
that end In view.
"a general interruption Of the rail
way traffic of the country at this time
would entail a danger to the nation
against which have the right to en-
ter my solemn and earnest protest.
"It is now the duty Of every patr!o
tic man to bring matters of this sort
to immediate accommodation. The
safety of the country against manifest
perils affecting it's own peace and the
peace Of the whole world makes ac'
commodation absolutely imperative
and seems to me to render any other
choice or action inconceivable."
The mediators, speaking for the
president, will ask the brotherhoods
and the railroads to postpone the
strike, if they cannot avert 1t, On the
ground of national emergency.
Secretary of War Baker announced
after the cabinet meeting that the
council of aational defence, with the
approval of the president, had decided
upon this step. Arrangements for con-
ferences with the representatives OF
the two sides will be made at once.
The railroad officials and brother
hood representatives will be urged to
reach a settlement on the ground OF
patriotism, because of the intnerna
tional situation facing the country.
Some of the presidents advisors
hold that he has full constitutional au
thority to take the railroads and draft
officials and men to operate them, on
the ground of a national emergency
Several pointed cut that while he fa
vored the contentious of the men in
the controversy last fall, that was
purely a matter between the men and
the roads.

- CANNING - DRYING

All fruits can be canned success
fully for future use for jelly making,
pie filling, salad purposes, etc., with
out the use of sugar by simply add
ing hot water instead of hot syrups.
1t has been found practicable also
with certain vegetables to substitute
sugar for salt in the canning process,
and then add other seasoning to taste
when serving.
In canning fruit without sugar, can

stem, seed and clean fruit by placing
in strainer and pouring cold water
over it. Pack the product carefully
in hot glass jars or tin cans until full.
Use tablespoon, wooden ladle or table
knife for packing purposes. Pour
boiling hot water over the product
in the hot jar. Place rubbers and
caps in position, not tight. If using
tin cans, seal completely.
Place product in the sterilizer, vat
or Gamer, and sterilize for the length
OF time given below according to the
