THE RUSSIAN TREATY WILL CEASE TODAY

And the Big Commerce Between that Country and the United States Is Regarded in Jeopardy Now. NO UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN NATIONS Injustice of Russia to Jews Provoked the Action Taken by the United States in the Spring. (National News Association) WASHINGTON. Dec. 31. Through the expiration of the Russian treaty of 1832 at midnight tonight, the commerce between that country and the United States estimated at about fifty million dollars annually, will be placed In a position Of uncertainty amounting to jeopardy. . No formal or informal understanding between the two governments (looking toward the continuance and jregulation of thi3 international trade, lias been made since the treaty abrogation by President Taft and it was 'learned this afternoon that the whole 'matter will be left for the action of the incoming Wilson administration. At the state department it was said 'that, undoubtedly the general arbitration laws governing trade and navigation will apply, but just how far they will tend to relieve the situation they do not pretend to predict. It was pointed out, however, that the two nations are on the best of terms and that the comity between nations would guarantee American citizens in Russia against theft and destruction, though it would form no insurance against discrimination. Retaliatory Policies. That any retaliatory policy that might be adopted would bear more heavily on American firms than Russian business organizations was readily admitted ' in diplomatic circles. The ratio of harm that such a policy would work upon international traders would be about two to one with United States on the heavy end. This is made evident by the export and import statistics between the two countries recently made public. These showed that the United States yearly sells about twice as much to Russia as she does to the United States. The dangers to American trade and American citizens that may follow in the wake of the treaty abrogation were outlined as follows: A local license or regulation denying Americans the right to do business hi any part of Russia. Exclusion of all Americau citizens, whether of the Jewish race or not, from Russian territory. Prohibitive tariffs in discrimination against American goods. The refusal of American consul rights over the estates of American citizens in Russia. Against all of these dangers the absence of a treaty between Russia and the United States would render the latter country powerless to retaliate. Even the maximum aid minimum tariff law of the United States would be of little avail should Russia set out upon a policy of discrimination. Reached a Year Ago. The decision of this government to terminate the agreement between Russia and the United States was reached a little more than a year ago .by President Taft after the house of representatives had passed a sweeping resolution formally terminating the treaty and directing the president to carry out its mandate. While the matter was pending in the senate, the president, by executive action ended the treaty, or at least, served notice on Russia, in accordance with the terms of the treaty, that this government would cease to abide by it on January 1, 1913. The reason, as is well known, was the refusal of the Russian government to recognize American passports when held by Ameri can Jews. i Efforts were repeatedly made through the state department to induce the Czar's authorities to live up to the terms of the treaty, and since the action taken by congress and the president a year ago, various attempts have been made through diplomatic channels to formulate a new agreement which, in more explicit and definite manner, would oblige Russia to recognize American passports. These J efforts have been fruitless, however, and now the Taft administration has abandoned its diplomatic negotiations to this end, which will leave the settlement of the matter or the trouble resulting from failure, to the Wilson administration. ' The abrogated treaty embraces 13 articles. The first relates to the mutual protection of citizens of one country while sojourning in the other, "on IKIoodli Sarsaparilla Eradicates scrofula and all other humors, cures all their effects, makes the blood rich and abundant, strengthens all ,the vital organs. Take it. j Get it today In usual liquid form or jcbocol&ted tablets called Sarsatabs.

condition of their submitting to the laws and ordinances there prevailing." It was Russia's failure to adhere to the American construction of this article which led to the termination of the treaty. Article II has to do with the exemption of vessels from tonnage and lighthouse dues. So long as Russia does not make exactions of this character upon American vessels, the United States is bound by its laws not to do so. At to Commerce. Article III provides that Russian goods imported into this country in Russian vessels shall pay no higher duties than when imported in Ameri-

can vessels and vice versa. Article IV is supplimental to the third arti cle. Article V deals with exports as does article III with imports. Article VI relates to the subject of maximum and minimum tariffs, but trouble in this respect is obviated by reason of the tariff agreement made with Russia under the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill Article MI reserves the coastwise trade of each nation to the vessels of that nation. Article VIII specified the relationship of consuls maintained by each country in the other and enables them to carry on the business of their offices for the governments they represent. Article IX enables consuls to have jurisdiction in the settlement of differences between masters and crews of the vessels of one country when in the waters of the other and provides for calling for local assistance in making arrests and preserving the peace. Article X provides for the administration of estates of deceased persons in one country by the consuls of that country. So far as Russian consuls in this country are concerned state laws will enable them to continue their duties in this respect, but there is uncertainty as to what extent Russia will permit American consuls to exercise the right which has heretofore prevailed. Article XI provides favored nation treatment for navigation and commerce. Article XII and XIII provide the means for the abrogation of the treaty and of which the United States took advantage when the time came to end the convention. Happy New Years to All ! But not to me.

The Theaters

THE MURRAY. The Murray this week has one of the most entertaining bills In its history. Interest centers in the appearance of Mrs. Gertrude and Miss Elizabeth ' Kolp and Mr. Peter Lichtenfels whose aggregate stage name is "Mar" and who are residents of this city, whose success has been pronounced Bince their vaudeville debut here last j Spring. So signal was their success that a Chicago manager has now put them out in a dancing sketch of their own, affer they had played over the big western circuits in an act which includes several people and of which they were the stellar attractions. The dancing number in which they , now appear is brilliant, vivacious and effective both in its terpsichorean permance, its mise en scene and its costuming. The sketch which is called "All for a Kiss," gives the three an opportunity to exploit their artistic talents, and its pantomime displays their theatric finesse showing the development in their stage acumen. The sketch has three sets, the first with a marine effect and in which Mr. Lichtenfels appears in middle costume, his entrance being greeted with great applause as was that of the two feminine principals. The second is an adaptation of the oriental setting and dance in which they were originally seen but which is put through with much greater dramatic eclat and in which Miss Elizabeth Kolp does a solo dance of alluring grace and charming sinuosity; and the third which has a rose garden setting and in which Mrs. Kolp ftppears in a waltzing number which met with overwhelming testimonials of appreciation from the audience. Mrs. Kolp, in this scene, gave an exhibition of waltzing that was good to see, after the mongrel and degenerate dances one becomes inured to from the vaudeville stage, and was greeted heartily. The three in their ensemble waltzing number which brought their appearance to a finale, gave a difficult and fascinating dancing number, followed by several curtain calls. Mrs. Kolp is not only to be congratulated for originating and arranging this charming dancing sketch although "sketch" is an inadequate nomenclature but highly commended for giving it artistic atmosphere and for presenting the legitimate phases of the terpsichorean art a beautiful and noble art which has been unspeakably debased by the uncou. Aside from the Kolp appearance the bill is, as stated, entertaining, its in troduction by one Hi Greenway who masquerades as a crayon artist but is an odd, whimsical fashion rather foreign to vaudeville, starting things off with vim and go. The Gotham City Trio has a rougtahouse act that takes with the audience ii-liink in 1V1. C : i. uuiaui r us good singing although the trio proved amusing enougn. me cnief comedian might be recommended, however, to ! confine his activities more strictly to the nether side of the footlights.

IN SOME RESPECTS AS GOODAS OTHERS President Kelly Says that He Does Not Hold Schools as Model.

Referring to an interview with Charles O. Williams, county superin-; tendent of public instruction, printed in the Palladium yesterday, Robert L. j Kelly, president of Earlham college, today stated that while he has no dis- i position to undervalue the excellent work done in many of the school of this county that he does not hold Wayne county schools up as a model. He says in some respects Wayne county schools measure up well with the best work done elsewhere in the state, in others it is on the average and in some below the average. His statement follows: Editor Palladium: My dear sir: I have read with interest what was printed in the Palladium yesterday concerning the schools of Wayne County. I have no disposition to undervalue the excellent1 work done in many of the schools of this county, but I must say that you were in error in quoting me as having said that the system of schools in this county constitutes a model which should be followed by the school pec?le of the other counties of the state. No such statement as this was ever made by me at a meeting of the State Board of Education or at any other place or time. Some of the work in certain schools in Wayne county measures up well with the best work done elsewhere in Indiana, some of it is of average grade and some distinctly below the average. I did say to a county superintendent or two that the township high schools of Wayne County have an excellent system of permanent records, although I did not say that this is the only county in the state in which such a system is used. I make this correction chiefly because I think it is unfortunate for the promoters of any system of education to get the idea that their work has reached such a state of perfection that no further improvements are possible. I have inspected all of the high schools in this county as well as in many other counties in Indiana. At each school I have made suggestions for improvement, either to teachers privately or to the school authorities. I feel that unless an inspector is able to do this he should resign his position in favor of someone with greater professional insight and courage. Very sincerely yours, Robert L. Kelly. J. H.
