The Senate is To Complete

WASHINGTON, Dec.
Taft turned over to the senate today
the of completing the
of the treaty of 1832 with Rub-
because of alleged discriminations
against American citizens of Jewish
faith. Ignoring the house of
the president sent a mes-
sage to the senate announcing that on
Friday last he had caused notice
to be forwarded to St. Petersburg
that the United States desired the
treaty to end January, 1913. This no-
was officially handed to the
representative of the Russian gov-
yesterday. Mr. Taft asked
the senate to ratify and give effect
to his action. The foreign affairs com-
of the senate voted
to report a resolution of

From far-off Alaska conies the

to believe that the resolution would former ,
be pushed through, inasmuch as s
senate committee, as an act of Comp
to the house, had decided that
the lower branch of congress should
be asked to concur in the senate's
action.
Senator of Idaho, how-
ever, took the floor and after protest-
vigorously against hastily action,
asserted his right under the rules and
by formal objection threw further
consideration of the matter over
tomorrow.
Although It was evident tonight
that politics would enter into the fight
tomorrow, the prediction was made
freely that all obstacles would be
overcome and that before the senate
shot himself and died of
the self-inflicted wound. His broth-
Leon Sutton, of this county, was
communicated with at once and
have been made to have
the body shipped to Greenville as
early as possible. As far as could
be learned Ernest Sutton Is survived
by his father, A J. Sutton and broth-
Leon.
Ernest Sutton was years old
and had been in the army for quite a
number of years. After serving two
terms in Fort Monroe, from where he

would be adjusted satisfactorily and
that the abrogation of the treaty
would be an accomplished fact be-
fore congress recessed Thursday for
the holidays.
Democratic leaders both in the sen-
ate and the house are determined to
claim credit for the abrogation of the
treaty. Senators Culberson, of Texas,
and Hitchcock, of Nebraska, the latter
member of the foreign relations
committee, served preliminary notice
to this effect In the senate today and
will be heard further tomorrow. Sen-
Culberson accused President Taft
of trying to strip the house of one
of Its prerogatives, and asserted that
the president was trying to the

In his message to the senate

letter which American Ambassador
Guild, at Petersburg, had trans-

In it was expressed the view of the
United States that the old treaty no

be most agreeable to this country If

lines could be negotiated to replace

Despite this overture to the
government, state department
officials tonight practically admitted
that there was little hope for
a new treaty that avoid
the very things that were leading to
the denunciation of the old one.
The United States, it was pointed
out, would be treading upon danger-
ground in trying to arrange with
Russia for a reciprocal agreement
looking to wider latitude in the
rights of citizens of the two
countries. Under the favored
clauses of the treaties the

He said that real love does

begins to reach out beyond self. In
young manhood or womanhood love
comes in from a different

him. The brightest type of man is
the man whose love reaches out In
the most directions and who gives
his ear to only the lightest and best
calls. He understands love In Its

WERE PUZZLED
WASHINGTON. N. C. Dec.
Post office officials have been
considerable trouble with the
mails here recently, and have b en
a loss to account for It. Whole boxes
of mail that been distributed
properly and found its way into a
certain box, would later be found in
another box in the extreme opposite
end of the building. It had reached
that point where all were
watching to see the wonderful trans-
position- Vigilance, however, re-
warded Two youths who had
been stopping in regularly on their
way to school, and who seemed very
much interested in the boxes when
no one was looking and very
when watched, were suspect-
ed. They entered Saturday about
o'clock and found the
quite busy, but not reckoning with-
out their host. A close watch was
set upon the youngsters, and they
were seen to commence the
pillage. As soon as detected, Deputy
J. A. Potter was called
over the phone and arrived In time
to catch them In the building, and
with the packages on them that they
had attracted.
Arresting them, he took them he-
fore United States Commissioner W. H.
Ruse, who admitted them to bail
under bonds of to the spring
term of the Federal court.
