ABAINjN LEAD
Two Animals of die Todd Herd
Make Fine Showing Under
an Official Test
IN TRIAL OF SEVEN DAYS
MAKE BUTTER RECORD
Twenty-Five and a Half and
Twenty-Three and a Half Re
spectively of Batter Fat Is
Their Production
Two more Yakima Holstehi cows
have proven their merit and placed
themselves in the front rank of pro
ducing animals in this state. They are
fhe property of William Todd ft Sons
of this city and are at the Todd ranch
In the Ahtanum. The animals are
Cascade Johanna Cornucopia and Cas
cade Grace Johanna, which have just
undergone a seven-day test each under
the direction of Jtidsann A. Onltteau of
the State College of Washington at
Pullman and both measured well up,
beating, in fact, all previous records
for this valley made prior to the tests
of this fall.
What the Cows Did
Cascade Johanna Cornucopia, for
her test of seven days, showed a but
ter fat production of 25.50 pounds and
her best day's milking was a total of
95 H pounds, her average milk yield
being in excess of 90 pounds, or forty
quarts dally.
Cascade Grace Johanna yielded
28.50 pounds of butter fat in seven
days. Her milk yield was 72 pounds
dally, on an average, but her butter
fat percentage was higher than that
of the other cow. Last year this cow,
under teat for seven days, yielded
21.80 pounds of butter fat and she, is
a sturdy animal capable of a. long pe
riod of high production. At the close
of the test this year, the percentage of
"butter In *her milk, as was the case
last year, was higher than at any other
time during the test.
Mr. Todd, while well pleased, re
gards the outcome of his seven days'
test, feels that after he learns more
himself he will be able to show a still
better record for his animals. He
changed the feed of the two cows
somewhat during the test, which fact
reacted against the best results. Nat
urally he rs greatly pleased that un
der all the conditions the two cows
made a record, but once before equal
ed 1n this part of the state. With
reference to these butter fat tests it
should be said for the benefit of the
uninitiated that the custom is to reck
on eighty per cent of butter fat to a
pound of butter.
RECEIVERS FOR WABASH ROAD
Pioneer Railway Is Involved In the
Courts and Need* Help
ST. LOUIS. Dec. 18. —On applica
tion of Hie Westinghouse Airbrake
company Judge Adams in the federal
court today appointed Frederick J.
Delano, Edward B. Pryor and W. J.
Bixby receivers for the Wabash Rail

Receiver Is Friendly
NEW YORK, Dec. 18. —The ap
pointment of a receiver for the Wa
bash is in the sequence of the ap
pointment here about two weeks ago
of a committee to readjust the finances
of the road. The receivership is said
to be entirely friendly and to have
been the outcome of the committee's
deliberations as to the best possible
way of placing the Wabash on Its feet.
The committee announced tonight
It would expeditiously make Investi
gation of the condition of the road
and of its requirements financially and
physically with the object of carrying
out In co-operation with Kuhn, Loeb
& Co., such measures as may seem
best adapted to meet the wants and
develop the possibilities of the proper
ties.
The company's last annual report
showed a deficit of $403,000 under the
requirements necessary to pay the
company's charges, and since that
date, July 1 last, the monthly earnings
have shown a steady falling off.
George Gould and the Gould estate
are credited with the control of the
W&bash.

WANTS THE WEST TO HELP HIM
Secretary Fisher Polnls Out tlie Weed'
to Revise Land Laws
ST. PAITL, Dec. 18. —Addressing the
congress of western goverhors here to
day. Secretary of the Interior Fisher
asked the assistance of western gov
ernors in securing the needed legisla
tion through congress to correct the
many evils of the present land laws.
Fisher said the fundamental thing
needed is the authority to classify
public lands according to their real
value and then provide laws for the
effectual disposition of each class,
such as timber, mineral, grazing and
the like.
He said it was his purpose to get
the unappropriated public lands into
the hands of bonafide settlers as soon
as possible and yet maintain the pur
pose of tile laws. He said the present
restrictive legislation aims to discrim
inate between the actual settler and
the exploiter. He defended the leas
ing system.

HIGH COST OF
LIVING SOLVED
Ed Henderschott Solves High Cost
of Living and Lands
in Jail
CONFESSED TO THEFT
OF HAM, SUGAR, EGGS
Young Man Steals From Gus
Theophilos and John Mechtel
and Sells the Plunder to Jap
anese Restaurant, It Is Alleged
After much discussion and study,
extending over a -period of years, and
being participated in by millions, the
cost of high living has been solved,
and by a mere boy. He took peculiar
means to prosecute his labors looking
data for his argument, but like the
bedbug In the poem, "got there just
the same."
Ed Henders'hott. alias Henry Schotl,
but neither kith nor kin of ex-Mayor
Henry Schott, is the name of the
young man who has made himself fa
mous. For several weeks Gus Tho,
philos. of the Rnrt'holet grill, has been
missing eggs by the case and part nf
the case, likewise ham and sundry
other edibles. Sunday got away with
some more eggs and Hie police got
away with Henderschott. He had
been taking his plunder to the Grand
restaurant on Front street, and sell
ing it for about half price. Thus it
not only reduced the cost of the liv
ing of the young man, but also eased
up things at that restaurant. The pro
prietor of the restaurant. C.entlo Fu
gita, by name, and K. Kamtake, an
employe, and Henderschott himself,
were all arrested and taken to the po
lice headquarters Sunday night and
bound over to answer at 9 o'clock
Monday morning. The first two were
released on bail in the sum of $125
each, but the last named could not
give bail. Monday morning the hear
ing of the three men was postponed
until 9 o'clock Tuesday morning.
It is said in police circles that Hen
derschool has confessed to having tak
en stuff from the Barlholet grill, and
that he also took sugar by the sack
from Mec'htcl's bakery. Further, that
the oggs, ham, sugar, etc., were dis
posed of at the Grand restaurant at
about half wholesale price. The Jap
anese, realizing that he had a good
thing as long as he could get 'his sup
plies so cheap, is said to have told

GREAT FIRE IN CHICAGO
CHICAGO. Dec. 18.—A Ore
broke out at 2:80 Ihis morning and
Is raging through the Board ot
Trade at l«i Salle and Van Buren,
and threatens the destruction also
of the Kaiserlve-f and New Victoria
hotels.
Flames have spread to the sixth
story of the Kaiserhof. The three
tipper stories of the six-story hos
telry are ablaze, but It Is- believed
the building can be saved.
All guests are thought to be safe.
A general alarm has brought all
the available apparatus to the
scene.
Henderschott to be very' careful not
to get caught. That Is hearsay, and
tl-.e facts will be brought out this
morning.
It was ti pretty nice way for, solving
The high living problem, so far as
Henderschott and the two Japanese
Were concerned, but Messrs. Mechtel
an 1 Tlieophiloß are of the opinion
that they were not assisted In any way,
but instead were- given tile sharp end
of the deal. Hoard and room rent
trouble Henderschott tto more, for he
is housed at the city jail, all expenses
paid.

TAFT HIES
THE INITIATIVE
President Abrogates Treaty With
Russia and Asks Senate to
Support His Action
DEMOCRATS ACCUSE TAFT
STEALING THEIR THUNDER
Controversy Over Jewish Pass
ports Has Lead to Some Diplo
matic Complications Which the
Administration Is Settling
WASHINGTON. Dec. is.—Presi
dent Taft turned over to the senate
today the task of completing tin- ab
rogation treaty of is:tu with Russia,
because- of the alleged discrimination
against American Jews. Ignoring the
house-, the president sent a message
announcing that on Friday last he
had caused a notice to st. Petersburg
that the I'nited States desired the
treaty to end January 1, 1913.
Taft asked the senate to ratify and
give effect to his action. The foreign
affairs committee of the senate- voted
unanimously to report the resolution
of ratification couched In diplomatic
terms, and Senator Lodge offered It
later in the senate.
There is every reason to believe the
resolution will be rushed through,, 111
us much as the senate committee as
an act of courtesy had decided that
the house should be asked to concur
In the senate's action. Senator Hey
burn. of Idaho, however, after pro
testing the hasty action asserted bis
right, under the rules, and by formal
Objection, to throw any further con
sideration of the matter over until
tomorrow.
Polities in the Fight
Although evident tonight that poli
tics will enter Into the light tomor
row, the prediction is made that till
obstacles will be overcome and Ihat
before the senate has adjourned the
committee resolution will lie put
through ns 1 substitute for the house
resolution which proved objectionable
to the Russian government, Chair
man Sulzer expressed a belief thai the
matter would be adjusted satisfac
torily that the abrogation of the
treaty be accomplished before con
gress recessed Thursday.
Democratic leaders of both houses
are determined to claim credit for
the abrogation. Culberson and Hitch*
cock, tho latter a member of the for
eign affairs committee, served prelim
inary notice- to this effect to the senate
today. Cttlberson accused Tuft of
trying to strip the house of one- of
Its prerogatives, and asserted the
president was trying to "steal demo
cratic thunder."
New Treaty May Follow
The Russian government has been
advised it will be most agreeable to
this country for a new treaty to be
negotiated to replace Ihe ancient and
outlived document. Despite this over
ture the state department officials to
night practically admitted little hope
for a new treaty thai would avoid tha
things that were hading to the re
nunciation of the old one.
State department officials do not be
lieve the heavy trade between the
I'nited States and Russia will be nec
essarily jeopardized by abrogation, al
though a tariff war Is possible and
Russian will have the right to ex
clude American Ships from hor ports.
America imports from Russian ap
proximate $14.11*10,000. Tin- balance
of Ihe Russian trade In favor of tbe
I'nited Stales however Is 121,000,000.
This I'letises Russia
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec IS,—
American Ambassador, Curtis Guild,
jr., acting tinder Instruction from the
president of the United Slate today
notified the Russian foreign minister.
M.s.i/.oncff, that the treaty of 18J2
between the United States and Russia
be abrogated January 1, 1913.
The notification It Is added. Wns
given with full right and tactful Ij
made no mention of the motives un
derlying th,- abrogation of the treaty,
which leaves full latitude- t,,r conduct
big new negotiations with the con
troversial factors eliminated. This
feature has attracted attention and
seems to be fully appreciated and
likely to Increase- Taffy popularity
hen-
The Nov,,.- Vremys tomorrow will
say: "President Taft Judiciously has
chosen the best wa> to put an end to
the scandalous Jewish agitation, which
is dangerous to both countries, at
the same time the incident bears Wit
ness that the .lawlsh bankers have he
