EXISTING TREATIES
BACKWARD STEPS
Former Adviser to State De
partment Says Practice in
... 1794 Was Better.
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.

established. 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.

Miss Opp's condition became serious
during the Winter, and her appear
ances with Mr. Faversham in his
Shakespearan revivals were frequently
interrupted. Upon the end of his tour,
which terminated here at the Lyric
Theater, Miss Opp went abroad for
treatment, but her condition grew
steadily worse and Mr. Faversham was
cabled for.
The actor had planned to give up
vaudeville for a short time, and was to
act in a motion-picture version of "The
Social Highwayman."
If Mrs. Faversham's condition per
mits, Mr. Faversham will go to Paris
to complete arrangements for his new

'HAM' LEWIS GOADED
'Pink-Whiskered Prodigy" of
Chicago Resents Twitting.
'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.

VACCINE USED 118 YEARS
Sfedical Science Has Made Pox
Marked Face a. Rarity.
NEW YORK, May 22. 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.
