NEW TREATY TO END SCARES Pending Pact With Japan (tailed on to Insure Long Peace With the la- landers--Prospects of the Ship Subsidy Measure. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.--It la fully expected tb«t iu6 Democrats of the house when they meet in caucus in the middle of January will appoint a "tentative ways and means committee. It Is uu j derstood that ali the Democratic mem . bers elected to the new congress will j be present at the caucus, although i of course the new members can have J no voice in legislator until the pres out congress dies. They can, and will be„ taken into consideration, however, In caucus matters which have to do with the program of the party when It comes into full power in the rep­ resentative chamber. It Is altogether probable that the tentative committee will become the legal ways and means committee when jhe subsidiary bodies of the next house finally are appointed. It is to be the duty of this tentative com mittee to frame such tariff legisla­ tion as the Democratic nnrty flnaUy concludes it will take up for consid eration next December. It has been disclosed also fchat to the tentative body will be given the work of what is to be known as a committee on committees. In other words, because Champ Clark, the next speaker of the house, has agreed that the committee-appointing power shall pass from his hands, it will be trans­ mitted to the ways and meaDs com­ mittee, which will undertake the task of assigning members to committee positions and report the results of its work to a house cauc\ts of all the party members. Dc! scats Task for Cornrriittee. The chief legislative duty of the tentative ways and means committee will be the planning for tariff revi­ sion under Democratic auspices, but this work will not be much harder than that of naming the membership of the committees of the house. This latter labor not only will be hard, but it will require the exercise of caution and of rare diplomacy, for there is great Jealousy in the matter of com­ mittee appointments. The Republi­ cans found this to be the Case and it is hardly possible that the Democrats, being human like the 'enemy," will be any less susceptible to the prompt­ ings of personal ambitions and to the showing of keen disappointment at the failure of personal hopes to be rea­ lized. Rely on New Japan Treaty. Washington officials hope and be­ lieve that when the new treaty with Japan is signed, and ratified by the senate of the United States and by the emperor's council, the main trou­ bles ou£ of which it was feared war might spring will be removed from the field of friction. The Japanese officials and to some extent the Japanese people never have forgotten that it was the United States which gave to the empire the impetus to modern civilization. While the masses of the Japanese people were and still are angry because of discrim­ inations made in America against the Islanders because of their color, there have been some leaders of the people who have seen fit to remind them con stantly of what Am^ri^ci • 1 iui japlUi in the year 1854, when Commodore Perry at the mouth of the guns of his Bhips opened the Japanese ports to the trade of the world and let in not only trade, but civilization. It is thought probable that the new treaty with Japan will in certain dip­ lomatic ways touch on the question of Japanese exclusion and will so arrange matters that the western coast, and the rest of the country, too, for that matter, need no longer fear that labor is to sufTer because of the influx of the islanders. If this matter can be ar­ ranged by treaty so that further racial troubles^ can be avoided, the Washing­ ton feelfng is that Japan and Ameriea will remain friends for years to come and that the recent war scare will serve only to remind people of how easy It Is to conjure up trouble out of conditions of peace. Civil Service Pension Bill. Representative Goulden of New York has introduced a retirement pen­ sion bill for government employees under tho civil service. Thi$ Is only one of several Bills of the kind which have been Introduced, but it gains prominence from the fact that its sponsor V a Democrat and because if the present Republican houso does not pass the measure, it will fall to the lot of a Democratic house either to pass or reject the legislation. itsAiewB^seems to fear that if a civil psneiou list 18 once established there will be no end to it. In other words, the argument 1b that If the department clerks are pensioned the day will come when senators and representatives, cabinet officers, customs officials and all other government employees will be asking for money to care for them in their old age. The friends of the pension plan say it la intended that no one shall receive a pension unless he has served the government for 'o years and that this mawiiiiv F&ti« ^riifn Wiicii at liciyhi of 563 Feet--Chlcagoan Is Thrown From Ce^ft by vyind. LOB Angeles, Cal. -Arch Hoxseyr the aviator, was killed Saturday in an attempt to break his own world s al­ titude record of 11,474 feet Hoxsey was descending from a wiji do away with the danger of giving j flight made In the face of a gale pensions to appointive officials j which had caused most of the other aviators participating in the meet to abandon their efforts for the day. He had come down to RfiS feet of the earth in safety and then hip machine failed. The aeroplane seemed to have been, caught in a vortex of contrary air cur­ rents in a treacherous atmosphere and was whirled over and over as it came tumbling toward the earth. Hoxsey was dead when taken out of the wreckage of his machine. Ap­ parently his life had been crushed out by the weight of the motor, which was wrenched from its position in the are not under the civil service. Ship Subsidy Prospects. It seems to be virtually assured that the senate will pass a ship subsidy bill before this session ends, and It is within the limit of possibilities that the house will follow suit. Senators and representatives found out that the word "subsidy" had hurt the cause of their particular legislation, and so they avoid it whenever possible. The present senate bill, which is fathered by Senator (lallinger of New Hamp­ shire, is called innocuously, an "Ocean Mail Service Measure." The subsidy which will be granted to ship builders if this bill becomes a law is an indirect one, but none the less it is a subsidy. It provides a round sum in payment for mall carry­ ing service in steamships of different classes between the ports of th» United States and ports of South America, the Philippines, Japan, Aua tralasia and Panama The amount that is to be paid is said to be sufficient Induce Americans to build and to put steamships into the service, thereby strengthening the merchant marine and to a considerable measure restor­ ing the American flag to the seas. Ship subsidy in times past has had stormy sailing in house and senate, and while the measure is likely to make harbor In the upper hruse at the present session, it may be that the lower house will deny It passage, and if it does succeed in getting an af- fli iiiatlve Vote from the I epreeeuta- tives the majority will be exceedingly small. The holiday season 1n Washington is or.e of cheer in every home which has the heart to produce it. The White House always is joyful at the holiday time, and It has been especially so since families of children haVte been in­ stalled therein. At every army post and on every ship In the naval service there are dinners, entertainments and genera! rejoicing from or two before Christinas until t< or tWo after New Year enters. Tr-is connec­ tion in one paragraph of cheer at the White House and cheer In the armed service has brought out a White House army story. Christmas Trie of a "Snowbird." Early in November one year a man who had deserted from the army re­ ported at Fort Sheridan, Illinois, and gave himself up as a deserter. His rec­ ord was looked up. and it was found that he was what he admitted himself to be, a man who had forsaken t^e color's. llf> was put In the guard house to await trial. Every year in November ween the cold weatiier colnes on and the pinch of hunger and^lrost makes itself felt a good many des-rters surrender them­ selves, knowing that they will be housed>^jncl well fed while waiting trial, and tluft-of ^g.urse they may ha^re some chan/e of\scaping conviction. The soldiers ^sajl these des^rt- who surrender ^snowbirds." A flays before Christni^s the "snow- who had surrendet^ed at Fort an became sorry that he had himself up. and «o sat down in ard house and wrote an appeal- letter to Mrs. Benjamin Harrison. of the President of thp United States, and in it he toldJLow repent­ ant he was for desertflM^ and what an altogether dismal flWgpflt was to be J GREETED BY THOUSANDS behind the bars in the grod season of j good will to men. White Ffbusip tradition has it that this letter reached Mrs. Harrison on Christmas eve, when everything jvas joyous in the big mansion and that it made her cry she *ven't to her hus­ band, the president, and the result was that in a few days t.he door of the cage of the 'snowbird )at Fort Sher- imm \ >; c § ?: ^ i F- T\ H,'• AVegcfeble Preparation for As­ similating the Food and Heg tifa- 't&g theSfomStos aw Bowls of T H A K I N O F W H B Y B luiipf Jenkins (humorously)--Well, do % or yaffle wife rule In the household?

Before the discovery of Resinol, thousands of persons w§re liVing lives aeroplane by the force of the Impact of torture and affliction who are now with the earth. Hoxsey's death came as a coinci­ dence to that of John B. Moisant, which occurred in New Orleans a few hour6 before. Shortly before be began his fatal ascent Hoxsey was in his aeroplane hapgar reading an account of the death of Moisant. Afjer Carefully noting the conditions under which Moisant had been flying, he said: "He mast have become w^ary from too much driving." All of ibe other members <rf .ittie Wright team protested wherf Hoxsey announced that he was going to reach a^i altitude of 12,000. After he as­ cended the wind increased in vio­ lence and created a "swiss cheese" atrijosphere, t^ie most treacherous ejteorological condition with which ators have to contend. » t," Despite ti|i« handicap, Hoxsey reached an altitude of over 7,000 feet in a struggle upward lasting two hours. The aviator's body was terribly mangled and broken; his left Jaw was fractured, and his goggles were shat­ tered and the fragments of glass driven into his eyes. All of the ribs on his right side had been crushed. A broken strut, one of the woodeu stanchions between the upper and lower planes, had been drfven through his body under the lowest rib. Pasadena, Cal.--The body of Arch Hoxsey was cremated here Tuesday. ' The funeral was held, under the aus- | j pices of the Wright brothers' manage- \ ^ ment.

New Orleans - John B Moisant, na­ tive of A'hicago and one of the world's most daring and successful 'aviators, was killed Saturday by b^ing thrown out of a Bleriol monoplane. The acpldent happened at a time when Moisant apparently had his ma­ chine under complete Control. One puff of wind tilted the planes, the fceal a^umed &n angle that made it impossible the aviator to keep his place, and head first, a hundred *|5eet, landing on his head and breaking hi^. npek. When he fell seven*! workmen were the first to -iheach bim, but ; he was deaji before they 'came. Th^, doctors wh0 examined the body said death mu|lst have occurred within ten sec­ onds after Moisant struck .the ground. There was not a mark on the body.

Rose In the Newark Star tells the Btory of a young min­ ister who had recently taken charge of a small parish in Vermont. He aspired" to greater things and a large field, and In the hope that his reputa­ tion would travel beyond the limits of the village to which he had been sent he threw into his sermons all the force and eloquence at his command. He was, however, totally unprepared for what was intended for a compli­ ment, but which was put to him in such a way that it left him in doubt as to the real impression he had made. One Sunday morning, after an espe­ cially brilliant effort, he was greeted by, an old lady, who was one of the most faithful attendants at all serv­ ices. Approaching the young minister, she said: "Ah, sir, we do enjoy your sermons so much, they are so in­ structive. Do you believe it, we never knew what sin was until you came to the parish." Young Age Pensions. Young age pensions! Why not? Ti­ tles, honors, riches, pensions and most other good things are, as a rule, post­ poned to a period of life when the ca­ pacity for enjoying them has been blunted. Australia was one of the first countries to adopt old-age pen* sions, and now a Labor member of the commonwealth parliament proposes a complementary scheme of young ag* pensions. He would start by pension* ing the fourth child at birth. The fact that three had previously been born 8 ho wed that the parents were doing their duty and deserving well of the state. The young age pension would "reward Industry and encourage th* birth rate."--London Chronicle. ' The Kind. "I think that chauffeur had great nerve to make love to his employer's daughter." "So he had--motor nerve." The Umlt. "Do you, have much trouble with your automobile?" "Trouble! Say, I couldn't have more if I was married to the blamed ma­ chine."--St: Louis Star.
