CHINA ASKS THE -WORLD FOR HELP Western Nations Appealed to to Help Stamp Out the -, Terrible Plague, ( Atnrlcn News Service) ,Pekln, Jan. 28.-Tbe great powers otthe western world must rally to the aid of China if . the bubonic scourge which is ravaging Manchuria,' the northern ' provinces of .'. this empire and theatening to sweep , northward into Russia and Siberia is to be wiped out. -Represent stives ot the nations of I Europe and North America have . so , Informed their governments, it was learned today. The blot of death wbjch Is spreading . through the ever widening . zone of desolation has already taken a toll extending Into thousands and . the blighting scenes have stamped madness upon , the minds ot countless oth ers. Thousands of soldiers.! are being poured upon the frontiers of the stricken district. For-the first time China. Japan and Russia have joined hands in a friendly campaign. These three mighty empires of the east have temporarily set sside their bickerings over territory to link their interests in a great fight upon the scourge. However, the far east practically admits Its defeat at the outset. The powers of the west must lend their aid. Many Doctors Die. The lives of scores of physicians have been sacrificed In the . fight against the spread f the pestilence. Hundreds ot soldiers have been sacrificed in the plague zone. Orders have been given to prevent residents . of certain sections of Manchuria and China from, fleeing but despite thia order, refugees are finding their way Into . Yladlrostock and Shanghai. ' Traffic upon the Chinese- Eastern railway is practically dead.- .The gov-, eminent has Issued orders - that no trains, except those running through imperial concessions, are allowed to croaa the frontier. However, trains are allowed to enter Manchuria from China and this morning a heavily loaded freight train of tea cars, bearing medical supplies, physicians and troops departed tor the north. v Advice from Kuang-Cbang-Tsu. Mukden. Harbin. Feng-Hun and other towns in Manchuria state that the ;Uue has made steady headway detplte the futile efforts of the Ciiinese and Japanese to head It off. ' The Russians principal work is done on the northern frontier. Scores ot young medical students in schools la Eastern China have volunteered their services to serve In the plague zone. - The most, of them have been seat only into Chinese provinces although' the next supply train into Manchuria will carry a detachment of students. .- ;s , ... .

Y, M, C, A, BANQUET SPEAKERS SECURED One of Them is W. W. Lockwood, Y. M. C. A; Sec y at -Shahghai; China: .7 " " The program for the annual banquet of the Y, M. C. A. has practically been completed- E. M. Haas, the chairman of, the committee was at Indianapolis yesterday to' secure additional - speakers and was quite successful. He se-' cured two and possibly three .very capable and interesting men. One will be Chas. F. Coffin, the general counsel, of the State Life Insurance company, who is one of the most entertaining speakers in the state. He will be remembered by those who attended the annual Commercial Club banquet two years ago, and also the Sunday school banquet four years ago. He . is teacher of the largest - Bible class In the .state numbering nearly a thousand men. ' . .The second speaker seceured is Will TV. Lockwood, General secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in Shanghai, China. jHe has been in' that Chinese city for seven years and is spending" a vacation season in his native country. He .has a highly Interesting story to tell, of association work among these people. Their present building was' dedicated several years ago and President Taft attended tho ceremony, as he was at that time In the Philippines. The City of Shanghai raised a budget of $33,000 last year for. association work, which Is an indication of the magnitude and standing of the association In that city.' '" George Lockwood Aids. Will Lockwood was secured through the assistance of bis brother, the Hon. George B. Lockwood. of, Marion, who was in the Capital city yesterday. He was himself requested to respond to a toast at the banquet, but he suggested his brother who happened , to-be at his former home tj Greencastle. The telephone was .brought : into -.service and he promise of his presence secured. As his time is practically all taken up during his stay, in this country, Richmond is exceedingly fortunate in securing him. It so happened that he will be 00 his way to New York on that day and he therefore arranged .to stay over, . attend the banquet and leave for the East the next morning. George, B.- Lockwood Is also an active association worker, having served on the state committee and being a member of the board at Marion. He has also been' in the publie eye for some years in a political way. bavins served as private secretary to Vice President Fairbanks, and also' came within one vote of -being the Republican candidate for congress in his district. He is at present-editor of the Marlon Chronicle and the Muncle Press. His advice has always been sought in Republican state councils. . He has a call from President Taft to come to Washington for a conference. f and will probably join hia brother , here &t the banquet and accompany him East. He is also a very forceful and interesting speaker, . and will make a talk at the banquet. This talent." together with the Hon. W. D.

CAUADIAII TARIFF

FIGHT MAY SPLIT REPUBLICAII PARTY Reciprocity Treaty Is Doom ed in-United-States Con gress, but a Big Battle Will Be Fought. PARTY LEADERS IN A. QUANDARY TODAY Democrats, With a Few Ex ceptions, Appear 'to Be Heartily in Favor of Treaty as Prepared. - , (American News Service) Washington. Jan. 28. The reciproci ty treaty with Canada is doomed but before congress has rejected it a bat tle will have been waged that threat ens to split the Republican party wider open: than any of Its other differences ever havo done. ' Legislative leaders here today are in a quanlary over the situation. Senatprs and representatives are shifting their views' hourly as dispatches from their constituents came rolling in up on them. The Democrats are the only men In congress who know Just how they stand on the proposed agreement. With few "exceptions they seem to be enthusiastically in favor of. it. . With the certainty of the rejection of the treaty becoming hourly -more apparent, the question of what course President Taft will take . in his proposed, fight to keep faith w-ith Canada, becomes of increasing interest Whether the. President may 'try to force an extra session to deal with the matter' or whether he will wait over and put it squarely up to the next congress are questions that statesmen are anxiously waiting for the White House to answer. ').? .;,Ov if ..'"' J. 8tanPtte!!A5ft.?,!e,, 1 ''-VAs"th;fan eignifteaiicc 0 the treaty is understood, standpat Republicans are dazed at the proposed inroad upon the protectice principle while Republicans from the . Northwest ; who have been crying for six months or more for a downward revision . .of the tariff. 'and a relief from the high cost of living; are , raising their hands -.in horror and trying ' to explain that they h ave not meant : tariff reductions . ot this . character. . J , - :', As a matter of proceedure, the senate will . not consider the treaty until the house has acted. ' The ' subject comes "be fore the senate; not in - the shape of a. treaty upon which that'body alone may sit-in. Judgment, but as a legislative proposition requiring the joint action of the houses. It is a revenuequestion and' action must originate in the house, of representatives. Whether the agreement be disposed of or not in that body, it is the practical unanimous opinion of; the leaders of the senate, among both' Repu bitcans, and Democrats that it would be a waste of time to attempt to consider before March 4th. " . ' I. . ' Some public men believe -if the President could .. receive - assurances that -the agreement would " be put through without amendment ' and -further agitation of the tariff qaestion would not be precipitated the1 President might be willing to call congress In extraordinary session. The tact that the Democrats would not be prepared for a general revision of the tariff . early this, spring might Induce them to give ' a pledge to tSer execu tive.' Still, the expressions relative to an extra session are vague. . A dispassionate survey of the whole situation may.be summed upiy 10 reciprocity with Canada, at" lew l until another -and totally different agreement' is made.

That Doney had no connectionwith the "matter , seems concluslv.e as, he denies ,that-he was ever J consuxtea in tne matter; tnat bis name is not. spelled ."Dbny" and that the signature is a poor imitation of his own.

Otto H.
