that the machinery of the last con
ference has proved dilatory and con
fusing. A number of questions still
await solution, as, for instance, the
right of delegates to take up the time
of tho conference; the right of a ma
jority over a minority in tho absence
of unanimity; tho power of a chair
man to confine the discussion within
certain limits. All this Bhould bo
settled before another meeting can
provo satisfactory.
The danger to tho effectiveness of
The Hague conference, which these
words disclose, should be carefully
avoided. Hero is another thing:
The fourth of the opinions expressed
by tho conference reads as rollowff.
"The conference expresses tho
opinion that the preparation of regu
lations relative to tho laws and cus
toms of naval war should figure in
the programme of tho next con
ference, and that in any case tho
powers may apply, as far as possible,
to war by sea the principles of tho
convention relative to tho laws and
customs of war on land."
The possibilities which Ho in this
important opinion servo to enforce
tho anxiety felt by those who are
awaiting an announcement by tho
government that these preliminary
matters are under discussion.
Official documents establish tho
fact that tho last Hague conference
contemplated the appointment of a
provisional committee to arrange the
work of the next meeting. Until this
is done the summoning of the con
ference, which Is due next year, is
father problematical. Washington

A BKAVE MAN'S DEATH
A story of a brave man's death is
told in the following dispatch printed
in the St. Louis Times: Macon, Ga.,
May 22. Death came to B. Sanders
Walker early today, ending a fight
against tho inevitable with few
equals for cold nerve.
Last Thursday the young banker
awoke with a headache and took a
bichloride of mercury tablet by mis
take for an asperln tablet. The mis
take was not noted until Walker de
veloped the familiar symptoms of
mercurial poisoning, and then it was
too late for physicians to stop the
deadly drug paralyzing his kidneys
and destroying his tissues.
For two days by sheer will power
he wound up his business affairs,
bade his friends good-by and then
took to bed to die. There were
times during his six-day battle with
death that the patient indomitably
refused to accept his doctors' diag
nosis and insisted he intended to
live. But the anguish of stoppage of
his digestive organs and the constant
suffering he was foiced to undergo
as physicians endeavored to Bweat
the poison out of his system and
flood his stomach with olive oil,
broke his determination.
The end came peacefully, the vic
tim lapsing into unconsciousness and
passing away as his wife hold his
hand.
Mrs. Walker, who indirectly
caused the young financier's death by
inadvertently placing the mercury
tablets in the asperln box, collapsed
in sheer exhaustion.
The physicians now fear her health
may be permanently impaired by the
terrific mental strain incident to her
constant vigil at the bedside.
A characteristic utterance made
just before he went into a state of
partial coma late yesterday illus
trates the remarkable composure
with which he has faced his death.
"If I am dying," he said, "then the
sensation is not as it is generally pic
tured. If this be dying, then none
need fear its terrors."
When the banker felt a nausea
several hours after swallowing the
tablet he called physicians and was
Informed that there was no hope for
him. Treatment was administered
and tho banker was told to prcparo
for death.
Instead of staying at homo, Mr.
Walker attired in full dress and with
his boautiful wife went to a ban
quet of the Georgia state convention
of bankers.
"Doctors havo told me that the
end is near," ho told the bankers,
smilingly. "I might as well mako
tho best of it."
Later the banker held a reception
at his home, tolling the scores of
gueBts ho wanted to meet death with
out "making a great fi ss about it."
Walker nover lost his nerve; ho
never feared the death that his phy
sicians wore cortain could not be
fought off. Ho kept track of tho
baseball scores; ho urged friends to
visit at his bedside, and until yester
day was confident of beating tho
Grim Destroyer.
Despito tho pain he suffered,
Walker frequently chided his physi
cians for their air of hopelessness,
joking with them over what he said
was tho "third degreo" troatment
when they wrapped his weakened
body in blankets and sought to force
the pores of his skin to carry off the
poison.
Walker was the son of a prominent
banker of Monroe, Ga. His brother
is solicitor general for the western
circuit court of the state The dead
banker made an independent fortune
in real estate, and was prominent in
banking circles. Ho was thirty-two
years old.
The publicity given tho case re
sulted in scores of suggestions from
physicians and nurses. It is very
rare for the victim of bichloride pois
oning to survive moro than 48 hours,
but there havo been a few instances
where, as in Walker's case, the drug
did not take Its full course for a
week.
' It was on advice of a nurse in Bal
timore that Walker's physicians un
dertook tho sweating process and the
feeding of olive oil. -The suggestion
that an attempt be made in his case
to transplant by the Carroll process
the kidney of another man, dead
from other than kidney disease, Into
Walker's body, came too late, as the
banker rapidly grew weaker and
weaker.
Macon authorities were forced to
detail a police guard at the banker's
home, so great was the city's interest
in his condition.
In tho household the banker had
one staunch partisan in his belief
that ho would defeat the insidious
poison. His wife, although she
would see no one, maintained with
equal confidence that he would re
cover. When the news of the banker's
death was given to the crowd wait
ing outside the house many men who
knew the banker Intimately wept.
Several citizens who had gathered
on the lawn knelt in prayer.
Bells early were tolled and prepa
rations made to drape business build
ings and hoist flags at half mast.

THE PROCESS
A revival was being held at a
email colored Baptist church in
southern Georgia. At one of the
meetings the evangelist, after an
earnest but fruitless exhortation, re
quested all of the congregation who
wanted their souls washed white as
snow to stand up. One old darkey
remained sitting.
"Don' yo want y' soul washed
w'ite as snow, Brudder Jones?"
"Mah soul done been washed w'ite
as snow, pahson."
"Whah wuz yo' soul washed w'ite

"Over yander to de Methodis'

"Lwd God, Brudder Jones, yo
