BRYAN TREATIES FAVORED Alan Who Stirred Capital by Resig- nation Makes No Criticism or J'ormer Chief In Opening Lake Mohonk Meeting. MOltOXK LAKE. N. T.. May 27. John Bassett Moo, presiding at the opening: session of the 20th annual Lake Mohonk Conference on Interna tional Arbitration here today, declared, that existing arbitration treaties were backward stops. As far back as 1794 he found the Cnited States and Great Britain admitting: to arbitration in a sweeping- manner certain points which would, be subject to exception or re striction under the treaty with Great Britain today. "As we are somewhat prone to boast of leading: the van in the cause of peace, it may be worth our while to consider," he said, "whether we should not occupy a position more advanced than that which we now hold if we were to go back to the practices we adopted 120 years ago." Pending Treaties Show Advance. Mr. Moore, whose resignation last March from the high oiTice of coun cilor of the State Department stirred Washington, made no attack on the policies of his former chief. He spoke faborably of the pending "Bryan peace treaties." "In all." he said. "15 treaties based on the 'peace plan' have been signed. It is understood that none of the agreements thus described has been submitted to the Senate, so that their fate cannot as yet be foretold; but it may be re marked that, with the exception of a small number of all-inclusive treaties of arbitration, they represent an ad vance beyond previous arrangements in that they propose to submit to investi gation all questions in dispute, of every nature whatsoever, which diplomacy may fail to adjust. They do not bind the parties to arbitration, but expressly reserve to them independence of action after the report of the commission shall have been submitted." Offer of Mediation Momentous. He referred to the "A. B C mediation" now groin gon, saying: "Prior to The Hague convention the tender of good offices or mediation without solicitation or consultation was usually regarded as savoring of un justifiable interference. By that con vention it was declared that 'powers, strangers to the dispute, have the right to offer good offices or mediation, even during the course of hostilities," and that the exercise Kt this right could never be regarded by the parties to the conflict as 'an unfriendly act.' This application paved the way for the ten der of good offices or mediation made by the diplomatic representatives of Argentina, Brazil or Chile, at Washing ton after hostilities were begun at eVra Cruz. The offer was accepted. No matter what may be its present result, it is a remarkable event in the history of international relations in the West ern Hemisphere." ; John A. Stewart, of New York, chair man of the executive committee of the American Peace Centenary Committee, reported progress in arrangements for the celebration of the hundredth annl- . versary of the signing of the treaty of Ghent. ;MANN CRIES "WHITEWASH" Democrats so ".Mighty" They're ; "Above law," He Says. '; WASHINGTON, May 23. Declaring rthat the Democratic party now pro poses to administer to itself a dose of whitewash. Representative Mann, mi nority leader, satirized ' the report of the committee on elections with regard to campaign contributions. Mr. Mann charged that Representa tive Doremus, of Michigan, chairman of the Democratic Congressional com mittee, had violated the code by issu ing a circular September 15 last as sessing each Senator and Representa tive J100 for campaign purposes. The committee's report held that Mr. Mann misinterpreted the law, and, moreover, that the letter of the law must yield to reason and the intent of Congress. Mr. Mann said: "It is palpable that a Sreat Democratic majority can pass any kind of resolution It wants and exempt itself from violation of the law. It is a travesty upon legislative pro cedure. It will not redound to their credit in the country. "Is a member of Congress above the letter of the law? That is what I asked in my original resolution, to the end that it may be ascertained whether the members of this House, constitut ing in part the lawmaking branch of the Government, are above the law. "The distinguished committee, or the Democratic members of it, find that members of Congress are above the law. They admit that the letter of the law includes members of Congress, but we are so great, we are so mighty, we are so important that the law does not touch us in the opinion of this committed." ACTOR SUESjJIG MANAGERS Court of Aivpeals Affirms Judgment in "Madame Sherry" Case. Al.B.VNY. May 19. Because he would not danco with and kiss an actress he ronsidered improperly clothed. Ignacio Martinelii was discharged by Al H. VN'oods, George W. Lederer. and Henry II. Krazee, associated in the production of "Madame Sherry" at the New Am sterdam Theater. He brought an action to recover damages for breach of con tract of employment and obtained a judgment of $6500 at the Queens Trial Term, which was affirmed by the Ap pellate Division, second Department, and by the Court of Appeals. Martinellt's salary was J250 a week for a run in New York City. He began playing at the New Amsterdam Theater on August 30. 1910, and was dis charged on September 17, when he refused to do a special dancing act in which he was to take a woman larger than himself in his arms, spin her around, throw her on his hip, and make her do somersaults. He declared he was physically unable to do it. and objected to her-scant cos tume and the kissing part. He also al leged it was no part of the work he wax engaged to do. as it was an acro batic dance. The managers asserted that the agreement was to hire him from week to week, with the right to terminate the engagement on two weeks' notice, and that he was dis charged because lie unreasonably re fused to perform the work expected of htm.

They pointed out that the attempt to formulate a plan dealing with provisional control of state gov ernments or in any way defining their relations with the Federal organization would involve the mediators to the point of tedium in the solution of local problems peculiar to each state. Mediators Reticent aa to Haerta. The Mexican envoys held that these problems can be best worked' out by their own people after the temporary central government has been estab lished. As to what disposal precisely has been made of the question of the elimi nation of General Huerta, other than the Intimation that his dignity will be upheld, the mediators remained reticent today. Emphasis was laid, upon the fact that, although the Carranza element had not been represented at the conference, the plans formulated by the mediators comprehended the ex pectation of bringing Carranza in ac cord and to the support of the scheme for a provisional government. Par ticularly by one of the mediators, the confident liope was expressed that as soon as Carranza and his followers became acquainted with the proposals they would, agree to cease their mili tary operations.

Opponents of Home Rule not "Bluffing," Writer Avers, Adding May Move Any Moment on Militants. NEW YORK. May 27. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the British novelist, ac companied by Lady Doyle, arrived at New York today on the White Star liner Olympic. When he was informed that no general uprising had fololwed the recent passage of the home rule bill, he said: "That is splendid. So far, so good But the question is, how long wil it last? I don't believe there will be spo radic uprisings or smal outbreaks, but if anything further does happen it will be senious. I tell you those men are not 'bluffing.' as you say. It will be so serious, as to amount practically to civil war or it will be nothing at alL The men of Ulster will never give in to the idea of an Irish Parliament." Sir Arthur said he would not be sur- I'.iot-u av . wnoiesaie lynching bee" soon in retaliation against tbe suf fragettes.

'TALK BLUE PIGS,' HE CRIES Senate Whip Speaks or Weakness of AVrlters, Who Slrow Little ' Discernment and Less Respect' for Rea tiers by Whiskers Jest. WASHINGTON, May 26. Senator James Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, known the world over as "Jim Ham," the Pink Whiskered Prodigy, has be come tired of being twitted about his hirsute adornment. Enfolded in his toga, the whip of the Senate has arisen to remark that he has lost all patience with undiscerning per sons who sum up his extremely useful and varied career in so-called funny comments upon his dress and his beard. He insists that his beard .is an inti mate personal matter, and in an inter view delivered himself of these re marks: '"I am glad to contribute to the pros perity of the country by having my superficial pecularities furnish material for the struggling efforts of the cud ding geniuses of journalism; but I have done my share, and it is time that our experimental literary citizens should turn their attention to the gentleman who, so the newspapers tell us, has dis covered a method of breeding blue pigs, or to the inventor of the noiseless ham mer. Slight Impatience Shown. "Pray forgive me if I show some slight signs of impatience, but the fact is that there are moments when it is borne in upon me with some force that jests about a gentleman's whiskers and waistcoats fall considerably short of biographical completeness, and do little credit to the discernment of certain writers, and show less respect for sen sible readers." I Clothes which would pass without comment along the Strand attract a good deal of attention in the capital of a nation of which it has been said that all its men dress as if they went to the same tailor. Washington was in excusably surprised about this time last Summer when Senator Lewis went to the Capitol in a cream-colored suit, white shoes, white socks, a white waist coat, a black silk eyeglass cord, a laven der tinted handkerchief, and white silk gloves. Capital I Forearmed. This year Washington has been fore warned, and hence the solon thinks it is time enough for good-natured jesters to turn elsewhere for subjects to ap pease a humor-starved community. A friend of the man who has been called the "Aurora Borealis of Illinois" yesterday pointed out that whiskered men have done much for the progress, culture, and entertainment of the world, and gave the following list; Plato, Soc rates. Theocritus. Demosthenes, Ruskin, Darwin . Browning. Tennyson. Lowell, Longfellow, Greeley. Marcus Aurelius. Brahms, Garibaldi. Lord Kelvin. Simon Newcomb. Dickens. -Tolstoi. Rodin. Al fred Russell Wallace. Sir Oliver Lodge. Lord Salisbury. George Bernard Shaw. Gounod. Saint-Saens. and "Joe" Can non. Thus it is declared that the Man Who Made Pink Whiskers a Political Asset is deserving of a rest from the joke-smiths.

The world's first vaccination was performed 118 years ago, when Dr. Edward Jenner, an KngHsh doctor, who had. devoted 30 years to studying' the subject, drew lymph from the hand of Sarah Newles. a milkmaid who had contracted cow- pox while milking cows. He applied it to the arm of an 8-year-old boy named James Phillips. It was the beginning of the conciuest of smallpox. At that time smallpox was causing one-tenth of all the deaths of the human race. Today vaccination has made small pox a negligible factor in the list of human Ills. It has practically driven it out of existence as. a scourge of nations. Backed by the authority of law in many countries, medical science has inoculated the civilized races and made a pock-marked face a rarity today.
