f'O brought about, however, lively ses?
sions of the foreign Relations Com
ailtteo and the Senate Itself are ex?
pected. The committee moots at 11
A. M- Tho Senate will not convene
until 2 o'clock.
Desire Full Publicity.
President Taft's message, although
expected to be read In executive ses?
sion, probably will be made public at
once. This was the plan of several of
tho Senate leaders to-night. They
declnre that the country sbould be
tully Informed of tho gravity of the
eltuatlon and of tho danger of pre?
cipitate action.
Congress is scheduled to adjourn tor
tho Christinas holidays on Thursday
next. In view of this an effort will be
made to have the Senate finally dis?
pose of the matter to-morrow. This
undoubtedly would carry the session
well into the evening, for a stormy
liebste Is anticipated. it the Senate
pg-jses a formal resolution of abroga?
tion it undoubtedly will be referred
Immediately to the House, und little
i rouble is expected in obtaining an
agreement to it. The language of the
Sulzer resolution, which declared that
Russia has violated the treaty of li>A'
ln refusing to hone: passports in the
hands of American citizens <>l Jewish
faith, undoubtedly' wilt be vigorously
defended by many of these who voted
for it. but in the end the. House Is
expected to acquiesce in the Senate
view. In fact, sonic of the liousu
leader's declared lo-hlght that with
President Tatt threatening to take
matters entirely Into his own hands,
It vas essential that Congress should
meet his views and deal with the mat?
ter diplomatically.
Hupen for New Trent}',
Ml Tail is seid to entertain the
hope that if the tie uy of IS32 is
abrogated in n manner thiit will carry
no intense, a new treaty with Russia, j
marking a great step forward from
the old convention; win not be Im?
possible. If abrogated In the terms
ol the Sulzer resolution, It wus said,
.Mr. Taft takes the ground that the
United States- might Just as well
abandon hope of ever negotiating an
pther treaty with the Russian em-1
pire.
Representative sulzer to-day prophe?
zeit that the Senate would pass the
resolution by a vote as nearly unani
moua as that by which it passed the
lower branch. Mr. Sulzer was one of
the speakers at u mass-meeting ar
i ingcd under the auspices of tho
United Hebrew Societies of Washing?
ton td advocate the abrogation of the
treaty. His prediction was indorsed
by Senator Polndextcr, of Washington;
Representatives Murray, of Massachu?
setts; Kendall, of Iowa,'and Dyer, of
aissourl,
No Formal Protest Made.
St Petersburg, December IS.?The
Russian foreign ofllce declares that
M. Bakhmeteff. the Russian ambas?
sador at Washington, has made no
forthal protest against the abrogation
ot the Russo-Amerlcan treaty of lh'i'-.
Dispatches from Washington nn
riouncing that tentative efforts to reach
nn agreement on the passport ques?
tion are going on, were published here
yesterday morning and appeared again
In the newspapers of last evening and
this morning, unaccompanied by com?
ment of any nature. With respect to
these negotiations, the foreign ofllce
has nothing to say, considering that
tli' responsibility for the reports,
which are of a divergent nature, rests
oh those who send them.
The semi-official Rossla. prints a
signed article by the editor, who de
clares against restrictive laws and
in ftvor of the abolition of the pale.
"Pro-government Russians," he says,
"cannot confine themselves to attacks
upon Jews nor senselessly repeat the I
saying 'the Jews will ruin Russia." Tho
Jews have not ruined Polish or little
Russian cities and they won't ruin j
Russia, either.
"The solution of the question, '
which Is the most Important question I
now facing the government of Russia,)
cannot bo deferred eternally. We can- I
not leavo millions of people to ronst I
In their own Juice. The pale is a low I
economical state, dreadful In Its sani- I
tary conditions. If Russia has too i
many Jews she must assist In their
(?migration, but the possibility of oml-!
gration Is restricted by measures
adopted by the British and American
povernr.ients, and would be further
diminished by the abrogation of the
treaty of 1S32." j

MUSIC FOR PRISON MEALS I
Fcdcrnl Convict* ul Atlnntn to Have
p.,polar entertainment Cnch Day.
Atlanta, Qa., December 17.?An order
has been given In the Federal prison
In ?outh Atlant'i for '.he prison orches?
tra to play at dinner each day. The
Innovation will begin on Christmas
Day, und It will be a surprise to the .
R00 prisoners. Their first knowledge of
the change In all probability will be
when the strains of popular airs are
heard.
The prison orchestra has been in '
training for several months, under thu
supervision of Jako Matthleascn, and
is now a really capable organization.
It has given several concertns and plays
at tho various entertainments given to
and by the prsloners. It will be a far
different Christmas dinner from those
of the past. The men will gather at'
small tables, with whito linen, and the.
chatter of conversation and the music
will make the outsider who may look
on wonder if this Is really prison life.
Warden Moyer has always believed
that music lias a softening and benefi?
cial effect on all men. and he is of tlie
opinion that the men will be greatly
I bettered and mat discipline win bo
Improved under the new system.

Sandford predicted war. famine and
pestilence. "War. war. war, from the
Atlantic to tlio Puclllc," he declared
to bo In sight.
"You Will not have many years be

But for adverse ' winds Sandtord
might yet be engaged in tho evan?
gelical voyage on which lie embarked
on the yacht Coronet with a huftdful
of tho faithful, seventeen months ago,
praying for the conversion of inhabi?
tants In far countries, lie was driven
Into port n month ago on a sinking
ship to face arrest on tho charge ot
failing to provide proper food for Ills
followers, and so causing the denth of
six of them by scurvy. When called
before tho bar of Justice, "Elijah II.,"
as he Is known among the Shllohltcs,
refused to employ counsel, and his
only defense was that he had but done
the bidding of his Lord and Master.
Released on ball nfter conviction.
Snndford returned to Shlloh to prepare
for n' term of Imprisonment If tho
court should decree, declaring that the
work which he has started will go on
as before.
The life story of the man who enter?
ed upon the work of evangelizing the
world single-handed, without money or
hope of reward, Is remarkable.
Sundford as a boy In Ins native town
' of Bowdoinhnm, wns not noticeable ov
different from other boys, except pos?
sibly that he was slightly moro reli?
giously Inclined. As a student at
Bates College ho secured a place on
the college baseball loam, and regu?
larly prayed for victory before each
contest. Sandford's work as catcher
and batsman attracted scouts from tile
big leagues, who made overtures to
him, which wero rejected. Some years
after graduation. Sandford was ordain?
ed as a Free Baptist clergyman and
married Miss Kinney, of Sing Sing,
N. V., who had been a missionary to
Japan. According to Stndford's own
story, one night In New York ho had
a rovclatlon In which he was directed
to give up his church and llvo a life
of faith, depending upon God for Ills
support. When he repeated tho vision
to his wife she agreed that It was tn
order that could not bo disobeyed.
Returning lo Maine, ho started his
work of world evangelization. The
movement gutned such strength that
headquarters of tho cult were estab?
lished hero at a cost of $100,000 for
the buildings. The students now num?
ber C00 at the "University of Truth"
on the "hill top," and sailing vesels
[ have been chartered tn which many

ROOSEVELT "BLOCKS TRAFFIC
Some One ShouU "There's Teddy," and .
* Great Crowd Outhern.
New York, December 17.?Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, emerging from the |
Labor Temple this aflerroon, where he !
had made an unscheduled speech, could
not lind his automobile, and while
',looking around for another caused a
; crowd to collect that blocked street
I trafltc.
I Somebody shouted "There's Teddy,
i and in a moment he was surrounded by
I? throng that grew larger as the col
' onel strode along Fourteenth Street,
looking for a taxienb. When two po
1 licemen forced their way Into the crowd
I to tlnd out what the trouble was, the
colonej good naiuredly explained, and
they held up a passing automobile. It
was a private machine, and tho lono
driver was for going on until the col?
onel took a hand In the conversation
himself. Menntime a trolley ear had
conic to a stop behind the automobile.
"Hoy, you!" tho motornmn shouted to
the ex-President, "run your blamed ma?
chine up against the curb If you want
to get In. Don't you know anything?
Get off tho trnck!"
With a grin for an answer, Mr.
Hoosevolt hopped Into tho tonncan, and
the mr.chlno bolted off amid tho cheers
ot tho crowd.
Coionel Roosevelt's speech at the La?
bor Templo was mainly of a religious
character. "I bcljevo In a living
church." said the colonel, "but not In a
religion that docs not translate ltsoir
Into nctlvltles for decency for tho
masses. The worst thing that can bo
cast on any church Is that as the pop?
ulation becomes dense tho church moves
out. The church should fight for the
masses. We nre a demoorncy, and our
national experiment can moan nothing
unless we keep It a democracy. Every,
reform, every social movement, must bo
for tho masses, or It has no place here."

Both Sides Scoff at Rumor Plea
of Not Guilty Will Be
Changed.
Boston, December 17.?There is still
a lingering doubt in the minds of some
people who are In a position to be In?
formed us to tho correctness of the
now popular belief that tho Rev.
Clarence V. T. Richoaon will bo placed
on trlul January 16 for the alleged
murdor of Miss Avis Llnncll. Though
It is true this date has been tlxed upon
for the commencement of what prom?
ises to be as hard fought a murdor
trial as any held In Massachusetts
?dYing recent years, and Judge George
A. Sanderson assigned to preside. It Is
predicted in some quarters something
is going to turn up which will cause
a postponement. if the venire Is Is?
sued tor the Jurors, then there will bo
no question raised In the mind of any
one about Rlcheson coming to trlul on
the duto set, but this need not be
done until after the first of the year.
Both the government und the de?
fense in this case declare that any
cumpromluu Is out of the question;
that either Richesun is guilty or not
guilty of murder, und .tn.u the ruiVor
of a second degreo plea of guilty Is
wholly the product of somo one s im?
agination. Such a plea will not be
accepted by the government attorneys
or offered by the lawyorB for the
clergyman, so they assert.
It is well understood there will be
dllllculty In securing twelve unbiased
mon to hear the evidence in this cuse.
One has dllllculty to-day In locating a
person who does not have a positive
belief in cither the Innocence or guilt
of tho young clergyman. Almost a
precedent will be established for Mass?
achusetts by the speed with which
Rlcheson will face tho accusation.
When the Impaneling of tho Jury be?
gins on January 10 it will be approxi?
mately throe months to a day from
October 14, the dute upon which Avis
Llnncll died of cyanide poisoning.
Meantime it is said a capsule filled
with while powdur and a souvenir
postcard written by Mlas Llnncll are
to figure prominently among the ex?
hibits to be oilerod by the prosecution.
.Tho capsule was found in Mr. Riehe
son's desk at his room in the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Frank II. Carter, 147
Magazine Street, Cambridge. Mass.,
and the postcard, together with a
volume of other correspondence, was
among tho properly of the accused
preacher which the police seized when
they ransacked his lodgings. They
carried off books, manuscripts and
other personal effects suilleient to load
a van, which wltti Captains Armstrong
and McGarr as guard, waa driven to
tho courthouse In I'cmberton Square.
Tho confiscated property Is now hold
by tho prosecution as evidence and Is
stored In a room on the mcssanine
landing.
John R. Leo and Beverly R. Harri?
son, of counsol for Rlcheson, left for
their homes in Virginia yesterday to
spend Christmas with their families,
having, with tho assistance of William
A. Morse and Philip R. Dunbar, of

man in such shapo that thoy^ will be

Among the curious Christmas pres
ents of thtB year will bo one for a man
of national reputation, which has been
all year in the making.
Way last January the present was
decided upuu, and a friend of the prom?

paper and bound into three massive

1 At the head of each Horn is tiic name
! and date of paper clipped from, this
I Information having been put In with u
i book typewriter. The words thus in?
serted amount to 153,252.
In actual time, a very strict record
of which has been kept, tho work has
required sixty-four working days
; .hroughout the year, and baa kept In
. employment during that time thirty
Ipeople, as readers, clippers, sorters,
mounters and binders. Every news?

tho unique orders which get Into the

at the last moment. In the opinion of
the authorities, by the arresta to-day
of General Hlglnto Aguilur and Mollton
Hurtado, of tho F?deral army, and u
score of co-cuiiKplrutors.
Tho plan, learned of from corrOH
pondence. and documents found In the

plete In all details. Mad-.-ro was to
have been shot from a balcony of the
ftcforma Hotel, in Avcnlda do la Re?
forms., as he rode from Chapultepec
io-morrow morning. During the con?
fusion which this would create the
conspirators, who called themselves the
independent constitutional army, were
to swoop down on the National Palace,
kill or seize the palace guard and take
