however. He turned to Woolfolk Henderson, the Kentucky shooter, who was refereeing and who was taken somewhat unawares by the sit uation, and said:
 Lost" Says Arie
 Well, I guess it's lost bird, Woo1folk."
 Anything the matter with your gum" asked Henderson.
 Not thing; it's lost bird" re- peated Arie, and after consultation with Stoney McLinn, the secretary manager of the association, the an nouncement was made that Arie had lost the match.
 It is hard to say why Arie failed to shoot at the target. Perhaps his mind was dwelling upon the number of pigeons he had shot earlier in the day. He might have said to him self:
 "Well, I've shot 479 targets already today If I break this, we'll be tied and there'll be no telling how much longer I'll have to keep on. It's a great life if you don't weaken" And the target sailing through the air on the call of pull may have found his mind still occupied with these re- flections, with the unfortunate result related Probably Art Killam, who kept his eyes on the ground and did not listen to the discussion which followed the happening, would have been glad to allow Arie to shoot an- other bird had the latter suggested it, but Arie did the sportsmanlike thing in not attempting to avoid the rules.
 A Weakness of Trapshooting
 But the incident disc1oses a weak ness of trapshooting that an un- sportsmanlike person in Aries po- Sition could probably have called for another target and have gotten away with it." Rules which can be circumvented are poor ones. They bind only the minded fol lowers of the sport and to the others open the way to an underhanded ad- vantage which may decide match. It is too difficult fora referee to de tide whether a bird leaves the trap promptly on the call of pulp and to ,nforce the rule with unfailing jus ice.
 The condition should not exist and | an be avoided. All that is necessary i S to provide an arrangement Gan lectric button pushed by the foot o release the trap would dol, which yill make the shooter himself re- ponsible for the promptness of his arget If this were done there would be no option open to him.
 We should long ago have passed he time when sorting" Of targets s possible.

LOS ANGELES NJ TRUST SAYS
 SCATTERGOOD
From Fridays Dally)

|
 There IS an erroneous impression
 of the purposes and aspirations of 1 Los Angeles, powerward, according
 to E. F. Scattergood, electrical en-
 gineer for the coast city in long
 and interesting address to the cham
 Der of commerce last night. The
 Angel City desires only a part of a project that is one-sixth of the pos
 sible projects on the Colorado river, and before it undertakes to provide itself with any power at all, will divide up with home consumers
 Arizonans
 There has been q propaganda against Los Angeles right in south
 ern California about this matter, the speaker said. Los Angeles has 20 Iper cent of the power locations of
 southern California on file; it had
 34 per cent of the population; on ac- count of the concentration of in
 dustries, raising the per capita power needs of the city, it really should obtain more than its popula- ton proportion Hence, Mir. Scatter good said, the plans of Los Angeles are not properly brande das monopo- listic.
 At some length, the engineer de- scribed the project at Bolder can yon, where Los Angeles hopes to develop power for its increasing needs He gave a still more inter esting insight into costs and other figures under questioning that arose after F. s. Viele had been persuaded to overcome his native modesty and express himself to a further degree. He had already done considerable self-expressing in connection with the good roads discussion.
 L. L. Bates wanted to know what provisions was. being made, if any, about irrigation. The well known expert had heard lot about power, but little on the sub ject of irrigation
 Mir. Scattergood obliged with a statement that the project would do these things: Eliminate flood dam age; control supply of irrigation wa ter to level the dry and wet seasons and cycles; provide Arizona with taxable investment of over $50000.- ' 900, and, in general, take care of power needs that are of somewhat vague but certainly prospective character at this time.
 Mir. Viele was impelled to ask some questions by the fact that the engineer had disclosed what appear ed to be very low kilowatt hour cost at the powerhouse switchboard. The question was asked by one of he many engineers who attended he meeting. Mir. Viele felt that 70 announce such low price might cad some of his sfriends and GUS omers present to feel that possibly he Arizona Power company was nore or less given to banditry., MT. Scattergood appreciated the delicate position of the local power provid- ,r and admitted that when trans mission lines at, large round per nile figure were added, it would be to figure the KW's so ow.
 Burnett Moody of the bureau of power and light of the city of Los Angeles spoke briefly upon phases ,f the proposed development.

Three GREAT STRIKES
LOOM ON new y0Rk'S
INDUSTRIAL HORIZON
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-New York's
industrial horizon assumed a more
pessimistic outlook today. Three
great strikes that would involve more
than 100000 men in the Metropolitan
area appeared against a background of
three important labor disputes already
in progress. Rumblings of wage dis
putes came from three quarters-the
anthracite coal miners. railroad main
tenance of way and shop craftsmen
and the building trades.
Of these, the threatened walkout IN
the building trades which alone would
affect nearly 100000 men here, was
pointed out as having serious possibil-
tiles. Drastic wage cuts. TO be drafted
tomorrow. will be fought to the utmost
union leaders declared yesterday. A
similar attempt last summer, though
on a much smaller scale was met with
immediate refusal by the men.
Railroad men stated their position
with regard to proposed cuts by
unanimously voting to demand imme-
diate increases of about II per cent.
After arguments of opposing coun-
sci yesterday. Supreme Court Justice
Wagner reserved decision on the mo-
tion to make permanent a temporary
injunction against the garment man
ufacturers to restrain them from
breaking existing contracts with the
unions. The garment strike, called in
protest against the institution Of piece
work by the operators, has been in
progress several weeks.
In the meantime, New York's milk
strike was still in progress. Police
officers were riding on delivery wag
ons to protect the drivers. More than
1000 employees of the Big Five packers
walked out yesterday in protest against
what they said was an effort on the
part of the employers to destroy the
principle of collective bargaining in
the industry.

text of the note addressed yesterday
by Chile to Peru in regard to the dis
pute over the provinces of Tacna and
africa proposes that the plebiscite,
provided under the treaty of Ancon,
be advanced so as to do away with
the necessity for maintenance of eX-

''It is true" says the note, that
the 1912 proposal postpones celebra-
tion of the plebiscite until 1888. but
such postponement would be equiva-
lent to the maintenance in America
of a cause of possible international
conflicts obliging Peru and Chile and
perhaps other countries to support ex-
cessive military establishments by

GOODRICH ADVISES
WHEAT, CORN BOUGHT
FOR RUSSIAN RELIEF
PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-James P.
Goodrich, former governor of Indiana.
who is in Washington after a trip
Russia, met with members Of
the Indiana congressional delegation
last evening and urged their support
of a bill pending in congress making
an appropriation for the purchase of
100000 bushels of corn and 1,O00..
900 bushels of wheat for the relief Of
the starving Russian people.
He said that the reports of the Rus
sian famine had not been exagger-
ated; in fact, he though it would be
advisable to send 20,O00,000 bushels of
corn to Russia.
Mr. Goodrich assigned two import
ant reasons for American relief for
Russia. First, because the food sup
ply of Russia has been exhausted;
second, because It would insure the
eternal good will of Russian people
toward the United States which he
predicted would in the future become
a valuable asset to this country.
The former governor stated that
Russia was now rapidly drifting away
from its communistic form of govern
nent. He said that before normal
trade relations between the United
States and Russia could be resumed
the establishment of Russian courts
for the adjudicating of trade disputes
would be necessary, also recognition
on the part of the Russian government
of private property rights and indi-
vidual interests.
Goodrich appeared before the for
eign affairs committee of the senate
this afternoon to discuss the Russian
situation.

SENATE ELOOKS
FOR 3 MORE
AGREEMENTS
China; Naval Ratio and Pacific
Bases Subjects for Agree
ments Irreconcilables
Prefer Action on Whole.
next Step IS EASIER
BY MARK SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13- Your cor
respondent is familiar with the views
of the more important of the so-called
irreconcilable senators. 1t is not like
ly that there will be formidable oppo-
sition in the senate to the fourpower
treaty adopted on Saturday at the
arms conference.
At the same time, it is apparent
that the irreconcilables would like to
defer judgment, and would prefer not
to go on record until after the other
treaties come out of the conference.
They regard the conference as a unit
and would prefer, if circumstances
permitted, to pass judgment and take
action on its results as a whole
1t is probable now that as many as
three additional treaties will come out
of the conference in rapid succession.
One will deal with the naval ratio and
another will deal with China. A third
subject is naval bases in the Pacific.
Obviously, a naval ratio which is
satisfactory as long as naval bases re-
main where they now are would not
be satisfactory if new naval bases
were erected, for example, by the
United States close to Japan. This
subject may be treated in a separate
/ treaty, or it may be attached to the
naval ratio treaty. There are other
minor subjects which may form the
basis of treaties.
Two Reasons.
1t is apparent that there were two
reasons for bringing out the Pacific
islands treaty first. One was that it
got rid of the AngIo-Japanese alliance.
| This was the real purpose of the
| agreement. Under the terms of the
old compact between Japan and Great
Britain neither country could termi-
nate the alliance except upon a years
notice.
The present treaty terminates il
without the loss of that time and upon
a basis agreeable to both countries II
! was necessary to get the Anglo-Jap
! anese alliance out of the way before
| final action could be taken either or
! the naval ratio or on China A 5-5f
ratio would not really be a 5-5-3 ratio
as long as the alliance between japan
and Great Britain continued. 1t would
be a 5-8 ratio.
| Next Step Easy
! The other reason for introducing the
! present treaty first was an essentia
part of the tactics which have domin
| ated the whole conference. 1t was al
! experiment in getting the nations tC
/ march in step. This was the easies
field in which agreement could b,
reached, and one successful expert
ment in harmony makes the next on,
easier.
Moreover, there are certain prirci
pies involved in the Pacific islands
treaty which would have been NOR,
difficult to introduce in the later treat
les. The agreement upon these prin
) clples in the present treaty makes i
easier to press them in future treaties
No responsible person in Washing
: ton has any anticipation other than
| completely successful outcome for tn
conference. The most difficult prob
: lem is China, but even in that fell
