a factory and manufactured the first white hominy made lu America. He
was one of the grand men of the early day in Ohio and . for more than
fifty-five years was an active leader In the Methodist church. The mother.
Phoebe Ann Hupp, waa a native of Ohio and u regarded In her com
munity as a splendid woman, one of power and character. The aunt. Mlas
Jennie Morris. Is well remembered In Urbana for her many womanly virtues.
At the beginning ot his Urbana caoer Albert Hupp entered the employ
of Cooper Cooper, wholesale dealer in saddlery ;oods and hardware.
While In the employ of this firm he attended night, school and perfected his
education, especially along mathematical and commercial lines. Iter he
entered the furnishing goods busineaa with a brother, the firm being known
as the Hupp Uroa. The lure of the wholesale business became too strung
however, and In 1S3 he left, Urbana to become the western representative
of the Krle Preserving company. Buffalo. N. Y.. and established head
quarters In Ka city. One day Hupp saw an advertisement of the govern
ment neking a solution of the problem of tatchlng mull at catcher ta

a catcher station and ground to pieces beneath the wheela of the train. The
two rights stirred the latent mechanical genius of the man, for be it

stricken out before It passed thn senate.
He said It was not within the province
of contre-s to declare that Russia had
violated the treaty, though it was proper
to say "In our opinion, from the United
Htates' standpoint the treaty has been
violated."
Speaker Champ Clark, when Informed

'The house has the rlsht to pass any

it 4 nnses Sensation.
News of Russia's protest spread through
the city and caused a decided sensation.
Little else was talked of at the capltol,
and there were numerous Informal con
ferences among the national legislators.
The senate was not in session.
The State department admitted that the
sitlnstlon was serious. Home of the offi
cials there have contended from the firat
that the abrogation of the treaty of .ls.'S
would leave the United States without
any sort of friendly Intercourse with. Rus
sia, and theroore In a worse position;
than- now to enforce the admission of
American citizens. Alt thought of being
able. to negotiate a new treaty with Rus
sia, if the Kulzec resolution should pats,
apparently has been dismissed.
Mann Favors Amendments.
"It was a wise provision In the consti
tution-put there by our fathers" said
Mr. Mann, "which did not confide to this
house Jurisdiction over foreign affairs.
The wisdom ut the fathers was never
more exemplified than on this day when
gentlemen rise In their seats with writ
ten speeches, from the chairman of the
committee down, declaring many things
whkrh If we had the real power might
quickly provoke war.
If we say wo are determined that
American citizens shall go Into Russia,
we can only enforce that demand by con
quering at the end of a war. We can
assert our honor, we can protect our In
tegrity and our reputation and liberty-
loving citizens proud of ojr honor, by
abrogating the treaty, but that ihas no
further effect in the world In adding to
the rights of otir citizens. '
"I hope at least that this resolution
will bo amended If the recitals are to re
main In It, by asserting our right when
we choose ' to exclude forel
our shores on account of race, and I hope
gentlemen are willing to concede that we
only declare that in our opinion from
our standpoint Huiwla. has violated the
treaty and therefore we abrogate it.

ine resolution never should have
passed the house In Its original form.1
said Representative McCall . of Massa
chusetts, republican member of the com-
mlttoe on. foreign affairs.
'There was no excuse for the flat state
ment contained In the resolution that
Russia had violated the treaty. A state
ment of that sort leaves little room for
argument or arbitration. No such asser
tion was necessary, inasmuch as the
United States has a perfect right under
the terms of the treaty Itself to abrogate
on one year's notice to the other
party."
Senator Cullom. chairman of the senate
committee of foreign relations, said he
did not believe a protest by Russia would
have any effect on the senafe's probable
action. . ' i ' i
