JUT WAR MAY BE AVERTED lanquet by British Cabinet to reaee Congress Draws Forth Sugges tion of Methods of Preserving Peace- Among Nations. LONDON'. Aug. 1. The government last light tendered a banquet to the delegates o the Universal reaoe congress at the iotel Cecil. Lwis Harcourt. First Com niRsloner of Works, presided. The guests ncluded Herbert Henry Asquith. the Prime Minister. James Bryee. British Embassador to the l nited States; 11 iam T. Stead and other prominent por wns. Mr. Asquith. In proposing a toast to tne rternatiunal peace movement, welcomed :h delega-tes and assured them of the British government'a sympathy- He said 3e was consoled by the argument that :nlossal arniHments were the surest safe luards against war when he was as lured bv a areat authority that the an nual expenditure of civilized nations for irmamcnt was nearly JlX-j.oOO.OjO. National Security First. "We must ask ourselves." the Prime Minister declared, "whether we are bound to acquiesce in the futile fatalism which accepts the argument as a fact." He was not sanguine enouph to believe that the youngest among those present would live to witness the advent of uni versal disarmament. National security always must hold first place In the plans of any government of any country and, while communities, like Individuals, re mained, they were liable to be swept with gusts of passion and prudent states men must provide against the con tingencies of war. How to Prevent Wars. But admitting all that. Mr. Asquith continued, the plain fact remained that there was no enterprise more worthy the efforts of good men than to devise prac ticable means not only for minimizing the risks of international quarrels but for providing a rational substitute for the settlement of disputes by warfare. Among the various means of progress In this direction, he said, the first was the growth of International agreements. WTe second was the substitution of Interna tional litigation for the barbarous methods of slaughter. lastly Mr. Asquith asserted, there was the delicate subject of International re lations. The main thing was that the nations should get to know and under stand one another. Half of their quarrels arose through a want of such an under standing. II JUMPS FROM HIGH BRIDGE TO SAVE GIRli'S LIFE. Rescues Despondent Victim of Mar ried I-otharlo's Wiles From Death in Raging River. PAUSADA PARK. N. J.. Aug. 1. I will find and punish the man who made my Klrl try to kill herself. Then I will take my family and move away where nobody knows us," said old Her mann Kruger yesterday In his wrecked home at Pallsada Park. His I!-year-old daughter. Louise, lay delirious In her room, after her attempt at suicide. Up to a year ago. Kruger, a German fireworks-maker, his wife and three daughters were respected and liked in the village. Then Louise met a New York business man. who lived at Leo nla. the next station above Pallsada Park, on the Northern Railroad of New Jersey. She did not know the man was already married. A year ago ahe be came a mother. Bhe afterward left the child on the man's doorstep. Kru ger tried to shoot this man, who. with his wife, hastily moved away from the neighborhood. The Krugers have lived aloof from the rest of the town since that time. LAufse and one of her sisters went Into Haekensack on Thursday night to make some purchases. As they were about to board a trolley car for the return to Pallsada Park, some one. ac cording to "Louise's story, recognized ier and called out something referring to her misfortune. She sat talking to Tier aister until the open Summer car started across the low-railed draw bridge which crosses the Haekensack at Little Ferry on the Edgewater line. Then she sprang up on the cross seat, tore her skirt from her sister's hand and threw herself Into the stream. James Davis, conductor of the car, heard the sister cry out and saw the girl leap into the river. The rain was falling in torrents. The river was high and swollen. It was fully 20 feet below the bridge. Nevertheless, with out even stopping to pull the bellrope, Davis vaulted over the rail. The car went on several hundred feet before Its seven passengers could attract the attention of the motorman, John Larsen. Then It was backed to the bridge, and. while some of the men untied the guide rope from the trolley pole the olners climbed down to the river hank. They found Davis and the girl struggling 50 feet below the spot where they had struck the water. "I want to die! I want to die.'" Miss Kruger kept screaming. She had fought to die from the first moment he seized her. Davis said later. By the time he got her beside the high hank he was completely exhausted. He Insisted, however, on tying the trolley rope around the girl's body himself so as to spare any of the other men a wetting before he would permit him self to be dragged ashore. When Miss Kruger was carried back to the trolley cr.r ahe was still hysteri cal. She was taken to the end of the run at Edgewater Ferry. Then she was carried over to he Englewood Hos pital, and from there she was removed to her home, which is right alongside the Palisada Park Railway station. Yesterday she was still seriously III. She admitted to her family that she had determined from the time the car left Haekensack to drown herself, and thus escape continued disgrace. -Davis continued to work throughout the night wet to the skin. Kill All Unmuzzled Dogs. CHICAGO. Aug. 1. Armed with rapid fe Oho nolicamAiu undar tiiA Cheese Almost Causes Domestic Tragedy. Troubles of Grraii Merchant Be Bl Wkeu He Take Horn SO t'aaea of I.I m burger. ((JT CH GOTT. Ich so traurig bin." f "Vat der matter iss, mine liddle vlfe?" Sobs and threats to go back home to Germany, were the responses. This pathetic little domestic dialogue was overhead in a home out South Portland way the other day. The occasion was brought about through the agency of 30 cases of Lim burger cheese. That Limburger cheese should cause sorrow in a German fam ily seems Incredible, but In this case again Is verified the saw that truth is stranger than fiction, and that cheese can be stronger than affection. A certain down-town German con ceived the idea of Importing a ton and a half of Limburger cheese, clog tin market and wait developments. Other Importers when they heard of the un usually large receipt of the malodorous dainty from, the fatherland, feared to place orders' for additional supplies, so the far-lighted dealer waxed fai In profits on his consignment. All was disposed of except the 30 cases, and then the trouble began. The owner tried to get room In cold storage plants for his cheese, but was unable to find nny of the owners willing to house his high-scented curds. Then he rented a basement near by, but was ordered lt-:r one day to move. Finally, no other place being found, he had his cheese carted to his own home and stacked up on the back porch in a shady place. Two days after he came home to find his wife in tears and no ticed that neighbors passed his house on the other side of the road. He resorted then to a plan which he hoped would bring peace to the family hearthstone and rid the neighborhood of an olfactory irritant. He sent out to his home a couple of scavengers, armed with pick and shovel, with orders to dig deep holes in the backyard and bury the SO cases of cheese therein. When he came home in the evening his wife moaned on the front stoop and the cheese remained on the back porch unburied. "Did not some .mans come to put the cheese der ground in?" he demanded. "Oh, yah; der mans come, but ven a box was picked up dose mans dropped It and got seek. Ach. Gott. Ich tsu Deuchland go vonce alreddy." The captain of a German tramp steam er heard of the cheese and offered to buy the whole of It and speedily went to sea to escape quarantine. Neighbors con tinue to pass the house on the other side' of the road, asserting that the odor of the cheese remains even if the boxes have been taken away. COME BY WAY OF MEXICO Thousands of Chinese Smuggled In, Say 6 Government Agent. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 1. It was learned today that the present investiga tion of the Illegal entry of Chinese across the Mexican boundary originated from a report made to the department by Marcus Rrnun, an inspector. Braun reported that ;,000 Chinese had recently entered Mex ico and, although very few had returned to China, there were in Mexico less than 15.0U0. It was also learned that the Investiga tion now active In this city is with a view of ascertaining the source of funds used in bringing Chinese from China via Mexico. According to Braun's report to Washington a favorite mode of entry is across the border In the vicinity of San Diego. Chinese who are brought. 400 on a ship, to Salina Cruz and Mazatlan by the China Commercial Company, are, it Is said, transferred to the Pacific Coast steamer Curacao and taken to Ensanada by that boat. Another favorite route of entry Is by Juarez and El Paso. Braun In his report is credited with having said: The quartermaster of the Curacao told me that every trip the ship makes they have from 60 to 100 Chinese on board, bound for Ensanada, nd tliat It was openly admitted by their friends who bring them on board that they were go ing to the United States." The report of the commission on the San Francisco office has been forwarded to Washington. It is understood that it contains no sensational matter. Builds Big Auditorium. MILWAUKEE, Aug. 1.

Li4 hh CADETS SENT BUCK Hazers Will Be Punished Under Rules at West Point. SECRETARY WRIGHT ACTS Agrees With President That Case Is Not One for Dismissal and Modifies Order Made by Commandant. OYSTER BAY, N.' Y., Aug. 1. Presi dent Roosevelt and Secretary of War Wright have decided that the eight ca dets who were recently dismissed from the United States Military Academy at West Point for hazing shall be reinstated and that their punishment shall be ad ministered according to the disciplinary methods of the academy. Secretary Wright, as he was leaving Oyster Bay, said that while the report of the superintendent of the military acad emy regarding the dismissal of the guilty cadets had been passed upon and ap proved by the President, he. as Secretary of War. had not promulgated the order. The matter, therefore, was left over until today and Secretary Wright said that he had taken this course at the request of the President. The eight young men are w tlliam T. Rosaell. an appointee at large, who stood sixth in the first class; Henry G. Weaver, of Illinois, also a member of that class, and George W. Chase. Jr.. of New York. William Nalle, Jr.. of Virginia; Byroir Q. Jones, of New York: William W. Prude, Jr . of Alabama; Isaac Spalding, of Okla homa, and James Gillespie, of Pennsyl vania, all members of the fourth class. They are under suspension on charces made by a board of investigation ap pointed by Colonel Hugh L. Scott, super intendent of the academy. This board found that hazing in a mild form waa being practiced upon the new cadets, but that there was no brutality on the part of the hazers. Colonel Scott sus pended the eight cadets and ordered them to their homes to await the action of the Secretary of War and the President. Instead of obeying the order of the superintendent and going to their homes, the eight proceeded In a body to Wash ington to appeal to the Secretary of War. Mr. Wright had Just returned and knew nothing about the charges. He received thera In his office in the War Department and listened attentively to what they had to say. Cadet Rossell was spokes man of the party, and his frankness in describing all that occurred won the ad miration of the Secretary of War. In the meantime the charges had been for warded to President Roosevelt with the explanation of Colonel Scott that the guilty cadets had been dismissed. Secretary Wright said today that he discussed the matter thoroughly with the President and that both he and Mr. Roosevelt were of the opinion that the punishment was too severe. He said that the cadets acted In a manly way in tell ing him all about the offenses with which they were charged. Rossell declared him self responsible for the basing, the Sec retary said.

The 400 of Rome are greatly excited at present by a peculiarly piquant scanaal in high life. Ellen Camponati. a beautiful young mar chioness, belonging to a rich and aris tocratic family of Mantua, came to Rome a year ago and was betrothed to a young Count, whom she 'was to marry this month. Toward the end of May. how ever, a change came over her fiance and about two weeks later he broke off the engagement on a trivial pretext. The Marchioness, who possesses a very deter mined character, made up her mind to learn the cause of the change and dis covered that the affections of her fiance had been captured by Marie Campl. a pretty danseuse of the Eden Music Hall. Determined to beat her rival at her own game the Marchioness straight away took dancing lessons and after a week or two, by the aid of her own ability and a large payment to the manager of the Eden, she secured an engagement there. Wishing to avoid a scandal, she concealed her own name and obtained the permis sion to wear a mask while performing. Nevertheless her identity soon became known. Within a week her name, her beautiful figure, artistic costumes and coquettish ways brought her hosts of admirers who, to the unbounded Joy of the manager, filled the theater night after night. Chief among them was her faithless lover, but the fair lady remained obdu rate and now contents herself with the satisfaction of thoroughly mortifying her ex-admirer, who worships her nightly from a box and declares he is ready to shoot himself for his folly In preferring her rival.
