' lir 'Sat rim 'IK II CLASH ON TREATY PRESIDENT AND COLONEL ARE FAR APART ON ARBITRA- TION COMPACT. TAFT URGES ITS ADOPTION Roosevelt In Periodical Attacks Docu ment as Hypocritical and Deficient, Says It Is Constructed Too Loose- . ly to Be Understood. Hartford, Conn. President Toft In h address hero scored the majority of tho Bonato foreign relations com mittee for Its "narrow view" In regard to the senate's power to make treaties and defend tho peace pacts no wv pend ing before that body. Simultaneously there was" lnade puhj Ho'lnNow York an nrtlclo byCol. Thcodoro Jloosovolt in the Outlook characterising- theso conTcntlons as bMjt and ImprncMcal; protesting against tho binding of tho United States to arbitrate questions of nation al honor, doelaring that tho Ameri'can people "would not observe., such an agreement and that advocacy of It, therefore, Tvas bjocrlsy. He declares there are certain things In tho, proposed agreement, that tho United States never would attempt to recognize and that the documont Is eenstructed so loosely that It never could ba determined just what certain parts of It meant President Taft endeavored to show the benetfs that would accrue to the high contracting parties from com nl(o arbitration and tho' support jwhlch his movement was receiving from peace societies and commercial organizations. Perhaps the most significant part of his address waa as follows: '1 call your attention to the unfor tunate consequences, not only to our selves but to tho whole civilized world, not only for today, but for ages ito come, If tho final adoption of this reasoning by the senate committee Is to prevail. "Steadily throughout the world the burden of the creation of armlos and Ifloets has grown heavier and heavier, steadily tra competition has grown more fierce that Is crushing the life and the hopes of the people. "But steadily, too, and of Jnt" " more rapidly, has grown the hope that an escape from these burdens may be found, that In some measure at least the peaceful methods of settling disputes among individual men may obtain among nations, In aome meas ure..! say, let us.not be too extrava: ant"fn our dream's Jand our prophe cies, and yet who can say what the end of such a movement may be? "Now, wherever good men and worn on the world over-are looking and praying for tho dawn of this great day of peaco, their eyes turn first with Sopo and confidence to the great re public of the west, to the land whose ideals are of peace and justice, indus try" and freedom, to the land which moro than any other has used the peaceful method of arbitration for the settlement of its difficulties with other nations. "In this great movement we are the nopo of the world. Theso hopes by the proposed narrow construction of the senate's power to make a treaty we are now to strike down. To the men and women who are struggling and longing we say, 'Look not to us for leadership. Wo cannot even follow.' "For remember, if the senate cannot now bind us to abide the judgment of an arbitral court as to whother n -question is justiciable it can never hind us, and if the senate cannot bind us, tho nation cannot bind us, nnd this peace-loving people is forever incapa ble of taking a stop alonp. tho great path which all the world wishes tp tread, nnd along which all the woild thinkn America, beat fitted to load."

LAST FLIGHT OF An Altitude Record That Many Flyers Make. a E WETS" PROHIBITION CLAU8E KNOCKED OUT OF CONSTITUTION BY CLOSE MARGIN. RESULT OF BITTER FIGHT Governor May Call Special Session of Legislature to Enact Another Law for Regulation of the Liquor Business. Portland, Me. By a majority of about 1,400 Maine abandoned tho principle of stato prohibition and erased from the constitution the pro hibitory amendment adopted in 1884 About twenty-five small towns have not been reported and tho vote of these, together with errors Incident to the collection of returns by tele phone, left the exact result in some doubt One hundred and twenty thousand voters cast ballots on the question With the twenty-five towns missing the vote was 60,878 for repeal nnd 69,563 against n change in tho con stitution. As had been predicted, the cities were the chief strongholds of the re peal faction, but tho majority of 12,000 in the total city voto waa bare ly sufficient, according to tho latest available returns, to offset tho vote of the rural communities. Although the vote did not equal that of a year ago, when tho Democrats swept the Btato, which for years had been a Republican stronghold, the election was ono of the most Interest ing contests tho state has ever known. There was not a home in any sec tion of tno state which had not been flooded with literature sent out by both sides, while tho voters were waited upon by personal workers and harangued at public gatherings, to oant their ballots for or agulnst re peal, as the case might be. The re sult was that hundreds of voters who bad not visited tho polls for years, with tho possible exception of laat year, were recorded. Thore Is said to ' every possibil ity that Governor Plaisted may be prevailed upon to call a speolal nes slon of tho legislature to tako action on tho repeal of tho stntuto law, which. In effect, Is tho same as the constitutional amendment and tho enactment of another law for the regu lation of tho liquor business. A local option law such as prevails In Massa chusetts is what tho license advocates seek. JAMES B.

Sho had been murdered before toeing thrown Into the lake. Tno cause ot the crlmo still Is a mystery. Thoro was no visible evidence of violence so for as a Buporllclal exam ination disclosed beyond, perhaps, a slight laceration of ono ear. A dis coloration on the neck, howover, aa If from unnatural causes, may Indicate that the child was strangled. Tho lit tle body was entlroly nude and was discolored, having boon in tho water several days. Tho body waa found by Georgo Younger, a comont workor living at South Madison.

Tho child waa clad only in a night gar ment, but oven thiB was gone. Long brown hair, wot and bedraggled, streamed down from tho tlttlo hoad. The body was found about a mllo from tho stricken homo. It may havo been dropped from tho railroad brldgo across the bay. If not, then tho child was taken out In a boat and thrown overboard and drifted near tho shore DECREASE IN GRAIN SHOWN Government's Report Says Crop Yield Will Be 734,000,000 Bushels Short of Last Year.

LOVE OF TREES AN INSTINCT Inherited From Remote Ancestors, It Can Never .Eraaleated.r.rem the Mine erMsn; Baslng his remarks epon hts experl-t ences is India, Mr. B. P.

Ia tho earlier days of the woHd, tho forest was the" rreat atorhos from which man obtained the Becesat-; ties ot life. Wherever men. are left! alone In a bare, treeless region, thef instinct to plant trees and bushes im-T mediately asserts Itself. An Interest ing example Is shown at Quetta, tb capital of Balscblstafi. Not only there. but In all the cantonments throughout! Baluchistan, the planting of treesi forms ono ot tfee chief recreations of the British community. The same thing has ocouned at Himalayas, where tho1 charm of tree vistas has been added to tho unrivaled magnificence of the view which that place affords ot the might iest mountain range oa the earth. Youth's Companion. Plant Shrubs In Public Places. That the use ot shrubs has beea delayed until such a late period In. the development of our landscape architecture Is unfortunate In masyj cases. There are many places wuerr their use will change the entire apt pearance of the environment Nature! has continually hinted to man the ad visability ot using shrubs in connec-t tlon with the beautifying of bis sur- roundlngs. It has been said that aa-f turo abhors' a vacancy.ir-raan" does--" not improve such spaces nature will) rapidly do so. It may not always be filled with tho kind of plants we espe cially desire, but nevertheless there Is a natural beauty in all shrubs.
