MIS JO SEE i CiliM ANNIXID This Will Be Benefit of Reciprocity Says Nelson, of Minnesota in De bate. Washington, June 20—Statements in the senate by Senator Heyburn, of Idaho, that “whatever we have taken from England has been taken at the point of a bayonet,” produced the only tense moment of today’s short debate on the Canadian reciprocity bill. Senator Heyburn’s remark, which he later explained, extended only to government acquisitions, was challenged by Senator Bacon, of Geor gia, as a “grave matter,” in view of the pending arbitration negotia tions with England. “We have more to enjoy that we have received from England than from all the rest of the world put together,” said Senator Bacon. Senator Gallagher brought on the controversy by asking if this nation did not owe more to England in the way of reciprocity than it did to Canada, because of the free trade market that England has always giv en to this country and the rest of the Senatof Tfefcon, of Minnesota,* de clared that hfe only hope of benefit from the Canadian reciprocity agree ment was that it might lead to the annexation of Canada. He met Sena tor Gallagher’s argument that reci procity ought to be given to Mexico and all other nations if given to Can ada. by saying that this country could not hope to annex the rest of the world. “Canadian annexation at this time is an iridescent dream” said Senator Gallagher, who is a Canadian by birth.. “I am convinced,” added Senator Gallagher, “that when this bill passes there are many republicans on this side who will join democrats in kick ing out foundation stones of the pro tective tariff system. We will be for tunate if the whole structure of pro tection does not fall.” Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, renewed his arguments today that the reciprocity agreement as it stands is not reciprocal on wood pulp and paper, and that the Root amendment is necessary to correct it. “This amendment has been offered in no spirit of hostility to the bill,” said Senator Lodge, “and I am sup porting it in no spirit of hostility. I think it will make the agreement bet ter and stronger. I intend to vote for the reciprocity agreement, be cause I think in the long run it will draw the United States and Canada closer together.” Senator Cummins today introduced a number of amendments to the bill which were calculated to enlarge the list of articles that will be admitted free from Canada.

At a recent smoker of the Wash ington Yale club it came out how the wicked sophomores of Yale, at the time President Taft was a freshman, hazed him, says the Boston Advertis er. When the Yale men discovered Cad well C. Taylor of the class of 1877 in their midst they insisted on know ing how the class of ’77 had hazed the class of ’7B, of which W. H. Taft was a member, and they particularly wanted to know how Freshman Taft had been initiated into the myster ies of Yale. “Well, that is not hard to answer, said Mr. Taylor. I happened to be one of the ten or twelve that visited Taft on a mission conducted solely by sophomores. We found him in his room alone, and, of course, the visit of so large a body of men on hostile intent made its impression. But he was then, as now, good natur ed. “We were determined on nothing less than a concert, and told Taft we would try out his voice in song and when we insisted that it should be from no less a place than his study desk; and from there he sang to us much to our edification and delighL He sang well the songs we told him to sing. Ido not believe that he was molested after that. At all events, that is the way some twelve of us haz ed him.” Killing in Knoxville.

But for the fact that he has a behind his left ear a lost urchin pick ed up by, the Brooklyn police would still be id the hands of the Children's Society in that borough as an un claimed waif. Completely disguised by a clean face, the youngster was not recognized by his parents until they visited the society’s shelter a second time and looked him over care fully. The lost one, a 3-year-old was found wandering the streets of East New York Sunday afternoon. He was taken to the shelter in Schmermhorn street, where by a vigorous applica tion of soap and water his cherubic features were brought to light. It was then seen that instead of a bru nette he was really a blonde. The transformation was completed when he was dresed in clean clothes. Missing the child, the parents, who have nine others to keep track of, ap pealed to the police. They were sent to the shelter, where the boy was pro duced. He seemed too embarassed to speak, but he seemed to take an in terest in th evisitors. They gazed long and hard at him but gave no sign of recognition. “It ain’t Hennie,” decided the father, finally. It walks like him, but that ain’t Hennie’s face.” “No,” agreed the mother, “Hennie is dark complected—a broo-net.” So they went away disappointed. Yesterday they again visited the shelter, hoping that Hennie had been picked up in the meantime. But there was no news. There was only the same lost boy there. Once more the visitors had a lok at him. “There’s something like Hennie about him,” admitted the father. “The same eyes are here, but not the rest of the face.” At that moment the boy, who had failed to find his tongue, turned around. The mother saw something, and giving a shriek of joy, pounced upon him. “Oh, it’s him —our Hennie,” she said, pointing to a spot just abaft of the youngster’s left ear. The father looked and saw the fa miliar wart. The identification was complete. The Ringgold-Dalton Highway will be an accomplished fact in a few more months.
