AMERICA IN ROLE
OF PEACE MAKER
Delegates to The Hague to
Take Strong Stand on
All Issues.
WILL URGE ARBITRATION
Expected Also to Lead in Movement
for Scheme of Limitation Drago
Doctrine to Be an Important
Factor in the Deliberations.
WASHINGTON", June 9. Naturally,
having in a way fathered the second
Hague conference, the Washington
Government has shown the deepest in
terest In every detail of the programme
of Important subjects to be considered
by that conference. Of the first order
of Importance, according to the Amer
ican view. Is the proposal that im
provements be made in the provisions
of tire existing convention relative to
a peaceful settlement of International
disputes as regards the court of arbi
tration and the International Commis
sion of Inquiry.
Instructions to the American dele
gates on this point are known to be
explicit. They are to do everything
in their power to Influence the confer
ence to enlarge the powers of the, per
manent Hague tribunal in dealing
with arbitration cases; and above all,
the efforts to to be made to bring more
business before the tribunal, to induce
nations to have more frequent re
course to this tribunal for the settle
ment of their disputes.
'Little Use of Privilege.
The President and Secretary Root
are disappointed at the very small
Issue from the august tribunal. Since
its creation, it has passed upon just
four cases: First, was the Plus case,
involving the disposition of the fund
set apart by Mexico to satisfy the
Catholic Church in California for
church property taken over by the
state; second, there was the settlement
of the question growing out of the
blockade of the Venezula porta by the
allied powers; third, the Alaskan boun
dary question between America and
Great Britain; fourth, the decision of a
question that had arisen between Ja
pan and Great Britain as to the ex
emption from taxation of foreign
dwellers in Japan. All but the last
of these cases were of American origin.
In other words, although serious in
ternational disputes have arisen and
been adjusted, diplomatically or by
force of arms, since the creation of
The Hague tribunal, America and
Great Britain have been the only par
ties to resort to arbitration.
The American delegates also take an
advanced position In the discussion and
treatment of the second article in The
Hague programme, namely, the addi
tions to the laws and customs of war
on land. Details of these propositions
relate to the opening of hostilities, the
rights of neutrals on land, etCj
Treatment of Neutral Nations.
It Is understood that an attempt wjll
be made by the American delegates to
secure some general agreement as to
the issuance of a declaration of war
In ample time before the beginning of
actual hostilities to Insure reasonable
protection of the rights of neutral res
idents in the belligerent countries and
for neutral trade.
No country has taken a more advanced
position than America In the liberal treat
ment of neutrals on the high seas In time
of war.
Therefore, the American delegates will
give strong support to the third article
of the programme, which in substance
proposes to minimize the exercise of the
right of bombardment and the seizure of
private property at sea. On the latter
point it may be recalled that America was
first among the nations to propose that
private property on the seas should be
treated exactly as Is property on land In
time of war; that it should be exempt
from seizure, if not made up of contra
band of war, and if seized to meet naval
necessities, proper compensation should
be made to the owners. America also
takes a very liberal view of contraband
of war, and her delegates will seek to
limit the list by International agreement,
something never heretofore accomplished,
so as to avoid unjust seizures of private
property.
In the Spanish-American war America
was particularly indulgent in the treat
ment of Spanish ships that were caught
in foreign ports at the outbreak of the
war. and, It may be added. Spain recip
rocated .in the same spirit. The effort will
be made to give what was a mere cour
tesy at the time the force of International
law by some appropriate enactment at
The Hague Conference.
Echo of Genera Convention.
American military strategists rely heav
ily upon the submarine mine and floating
torpedo as a means of coast defense, but
the injuries sustained by neutral shipping
during the many months of the Russo
Japanese war has inclined he authori
ties to the belief that some means must
be found to restrict this mischief to a
minimum. Hence the Americans at The
Hague will Join In any promising effort
to lay down rules limiting the zones with
in which mines and torpedoes may be
planted.
Certainly the American delegates will
give hearty support to the fourth and
last artlclo of the permanent programme
suggested by Russia, namely, to make ad
ditions to the articles of the first confer
ence regarding the application to modern
warfare of the principles of the Geneva
Convention. This convention dates back
to 1SH, and the American delegates wHI
i do all In their power to make the new
rules conform to the developments of
modern warfare.
Though not offering the same promise
of satisfactory agreement to the four sub
jects on the regular programme above re
ferred to, of far greater Interest to the
public are two propositions, one relating
to the limitation of armaments and the
other concerning the famous Drago doc
trine, wh'lch may be discussed If the con
ference so wills.
The attitude of the American delegates
toward these subjects, on which there has
been much speculation. Is after all rea
sonably clear. A careful perusal of Sec
retary Root's public utterances disclose
' the attitude of the American delegates,
though, of course, not the details of their
Instructions.
Limitation of Armaments.
In substance their Instructions are to
the efTect that from the beginning Amer
ica has held that the limitation of arma
ments, being a legacy from the first con
ference, cannot be ignored, and should
be discussed at the second conference.
Realizing that from its Isolated position
the I nlted States is less affected by the
needs of great armaments than are the
closely crowded countries of Europe. Mr.
Root believes that the very fact of our
Isolation and comparative freedom from
danger on this score makes it possible for
America to advance the proposal with
more advantage than any other nation
and without any question of our disin
terestedness. .
No matter what scheme of limitation Is
urged. It cannot be said that America Is
In any danger of reaching that limitation
In many years to come. But regardless
of the action or non-action of Great
Britain and Spain the two powers that
have joined with America In supporting
the proposal to discuss this great ques
tionthe effort to have it considered by
the conference will be made.
Originating with America, the' famous
Drago doctrine, as it will be presented in
a modified form to the second Hague
conference, not as one of the articles
of the set programme, but as one for
optional discussion, must of course be
urged with all the ability of the trained
displomatists of the American delega
tion. It will be represented by them that
the agreement to collect debts due the
citizen of one nation by the government
of another has had most deplorable con
sequences; that it results in the subjuga
tion of weaker nations; that all principles
of justice are violated and that unscrupu
lous claimants find opportunities to col
lect enormous sums in excess of their
reasonable claims.
Collection of Debts by Force.

LIGHT RAIL BETTER
President Delano, of Wabash,
Makes This Statement.
HEAVY RAILS TOO STIFF
Problem Is Serious One Suggests
Manufacturers and Railroad Men
Get Together to Devise Remedy '
for Defects in Construction.
CHICAGO. June . (Special.) "It is a
fact today that the engineers of most
roads are afraid to recommend heavy
raUs, because they feel that there Is
actually more risk In the use of heavy
rails, say rails weighing 100 pounds, than
there is In the use of lighter rails."
This statement Is made by F. A. Delano,
president of the Wabash road, in a dis
cussion upon the steel rail question,,
written for the Western Society of En
gineers. To the average general man
ager this statement that light rails stand
the strain better than heavy' ones is
sufficiently startling to demand an un
technical explanation. This Mr. Delano
consented yesterday to give.
'lighter Rail More Pliable.'
"The lighter rail," he explained, "is
more pliable than the heavier rail. It
will therefore conform more nearly to
the Inequalities of the track as a train
passes. The heavy rails, being very stiff,
refuses to so nearly conform to the in
equalities, and U therefore frequently
required,, to become a bridge between the
ties, which are long distances apart."
Mr- Delano declares the problem of
steel rails is so grave that the manufac
turers and railroads must get together
and work out a solution. Mr. Delano has
a partial solution which he presents for
consideration. The segregation of im
purities, he states, causes hard or brittle
spots In the rail, and these impurities
are entirely concealed within the rail
where no' inspector can discover them.
Suggests a Remedy.
"A method of rolling which would
divide the Ingot," suggests Mr. Delano,
"or possibly quarter it, and bring this
inside portion of the ingot to the sur
face, it seems to me, would be a step
In the right direction. A rail must be
hard. enough and tough enough to with
stand the rolling and abraiding effect of
the wheels and flanges. It must also
act as a continuous girder to carry great
loads moving at high speeds over the
girder while supported upon the unyield
ing foundation."
MISSOURI TRAIN IS DITCHED
Engine and Three Cars Topple Over;
Two Men Slightly Injured.
PUEBLO, Colo., June 9. Missouri Pa
cific passenger train No. 2, eastbound,

landed on their sides. Two other cars
were derailed, but were not turned
over. Pueblo officials of the road be
lieve that the wreck was due to faulty
equipment. The wrecking crew is
building around the track and traffic
will not long be delayed.

Elder Roberts Makes Sensational
Address In Mormon Tabernacle.
SALT LAKE CITY, June 9. A sen
sational feature of the controversy
which has been waged by the minis
ters of the evangelical churches and
the Mormon priesthood was the ad
dress delivered in the tabernacle today
by Elder Brlgham H. Roberts, once
excluded from Congress because of his
polygamous practices. He" spoke in re
ply to an open letter published by the
Ministerial Association. Elder Roberts
frankly declared that the church had
surrendered not one lota of its belief
in the principle of polygamy, but
countenanced no polygamous marriages
while they were forbidden by law. Of
himself he said:
'I stand exactly where I did ten
years ago, namely, that though the
church proclaimed against the contin
uation of this relationship, though the
state proclaimed against it, neither the
church nor the state may absolve the
moral obligations I am under, or re
lease me from that moral duty."
Mr. Roberts characterized the min
isters as belonging to a third sex, nei
ther male nor female, and said they
were better qualified for pink teas
than statesmanship. All of the high
officiate of the church, including Presi
dent Smith, were present, and tacitly

WYNERIC FIGHTS FLAMES
ARRIVES IN PORT AFTER EX.
CITIXG VOYAGE.
Captain Had Adventurous Time in
Guayaquil With Bloodthirsty
Revolutionists.
VICTORIA, B. C, June 9. The steamer
Wynerlo, Captain Dent, arrived today
after an exciting voyage of 22 days from
Guayaquil, during a considerable part of
which the crew was engaged in fighting
fires raging In the steamer's bunkers.
Several explosions took place following
the ignition of gas, some of the shocks
shaking the steamer badly. Captain
Dent and some of the crew, were over
come by gas while fighting the fire and
rendered unconscious for a time. They
were brought 'to the deck and revived.
The fire In the bunkers was discovered
soon after leaving Guayaquil, having
evidently been smouldering Tor some
time, and at one time threatened the ves
sel's safety. Had it not been for the
breaking of the bunker door giving a
vent it was feared the steamer would be
blown up In one of the more violent ex
plosions in the bunkers.
Captain Dent also had some exciting
experiences while his vessel was at
Guayaquil, being attacked while In a cafe
by revolutionists. In company with an
American, who is in business at the
Southern port, he was dining at a cafe,
when a number of revolutionists swept
the dishes from the table and attacked
the two foreigners with sticks. Captain
Dent and his companion drew their revol
vers and took a stand against the wall of
the cafe, a number of foreigners ulti
mately coming to their assistance. The
police, who were summoned, joined issue
with the revolutionists, demanding that
the foreigners accompany them to police
headquarters. The other foreigners as
sisted them to beat back all their assail
ants, who eventually retired, leaving the
foreigners in possession of the wrecked
cafe.
On arrival here the Wyneric'a captain
