Howard, Cor. 16th St. - Jamwtown exposition might work much harm In the minds of the susceptible youth. "limitation enters into the vaxtnrss of character," iihe drclarwl, "and the Idrals held before the child determine to a great extent what the man Will be. It Is bp cause of the strength of his appeal to the imagination that the proponed naval and military display at Jamestown Is capnbln of accomplishing so great harm. If we really wish to develop the spirit of mercy, other than that of cruelty, to exalt reason more than violence, why not depict the enticing splendors of peace Insteud of tUu enticing splendors of war?" Wobi Talk. Miss Jane Addums, head of Hull house, Chicago, received a hearty welcome. She poke of "Mew Ideals of Peace" and dwelt upon the part that women may play In bringing about a Christian unity among nations. Mrs. Lucia Ames Mead of Boston spoke on "The History of the Peace Movement." Miss Ellen M. Henrodn, former pres.dent of the Qeneral Federation of Women's Clubs, Chicago, discussed "The Home and the Economic Waste of War." Mrs. Frederick Nathan, president of the Consumers' leugue of New York, took for a topto "Industry and Its Relations to Peaoe.'' Women constitute a very large percentage or the purchasing public. As the years go by (no doubt owing to the propaganda of the Consumers' league) an liicreailnsly large nutnher of Women show a desire to acquire their purchases with such " peace of conscience us Is amurcd them hy the treaty which problhlts night work for women. Instead of making Individual ef forts to discriminate In favor of goods from the tatnt of cruelty Involved In night work, their consciences are fiecd, once for all, by that treaty as to all goods from all the conntilii bound by It. Would that similar treat ! were enacted extend ing the exempt! rum night work to young boysl Thtt treaty Is the stepping stone which must mcearlly lead to fur ther Industrial gains, to be accomplished by the same enlightened methods, which make for International peace. The Industries of the different nations are their mainstay, and carry wealth to their centers, and are like the arteries In our bodies, tarrying blood to the heart, the constant action of which renews our vi tality. To these facts mankind la at last awakening. War is becoming too busi nesslike for a business generation. It costs too much. Costs not only to the conquered, but to the fonqueror. In destroying his enemies he destroys ut least in purt, the source or his own wealth. Hence the ne cessities of industry work eternally for pre on. Renllrlng that we have thus reached a point far beyond tribal Isolation and that we must In future recognise our Intel na tional commercial bonds, an International conference has ben arranged, to be held next July In Swltserland, to be attended by delegates from the various European Con sumers' leagues, for the exchange of ideas and statements relating to the different standards of production and distribution In dlffe ent countries. The aim la eventu ally to establish an International standard of the ethics of labor. The feeling of universal brotherhood has already been sided by this International movement, aided more than perhaps most of us realise. Women can Indeed be proud of the fact that largely through thalr ef forts this Consumers league movement has been organised and fostered. Letter from Julia Ward Howe. William A. Richer, dramatic critic of the t-ondon Tribune, was the last speaker at the women's meeting. He spoke of "The flag of Ptscs-a Plea for the United State f Europe." Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, who' was to have been one of the guests of honor, but who could not be present, sent a letter. In which she outlined - her efforts toward a pence movement, an object which she hid pursued for upward of thirty years. Congratulating the women of the flret peace congress on th happy change In peace sentiment, Mrs. Howe declared that "women's colleges and women's Influence have had everything to ' da with, the great advance which we see In the moral efficiency of our sex." In conclusion she said: "Let us press ever forward In the light of new knowl edge, of new-experiences. If we have rocked the cradle, it we have soothed the slumbers of mankind, let us be on hand at their great awakening to make steadfast the peuue of th world." . . Address by Minister Barrett. Joha Barrett, formerly minister to Co lombia, spoke at the meeting at the Hotel Astor thU afternoon, when ths commercial and industrial aspects of the peace move' ment wers considered. Mr. Barrett said: If "all ths Panttmerlcan conferences had accomplished notiilng else than the eslab llehment of the International Bureau of the 'Atin-rlcan Republics, they would have done enough to warrant their being called together. This Institution, which Is sup potted by the twenty-one Independent n&' tlons of the western hemisphere. Is beconv Ins a powerful international agency, not otily fur ths promotion of commerce and trade, but for the cementing ot closer ties of friendship and amocUtlun. There is nothing whatever antagonistic to the policies of European countries In the pulley and' plan of the International bureau.

The bureau Is not bound or expected to assist Kuropean Interests, but it Is too big and broad an Institution to show any ant Agonistic atti tude. There la plenty ot room In Latin America for the commerce of all tho world. The t'nited States has no desire to retard the growth of Kuropean trade lo Us slstur republics, but holds that there Is abun dance of opportunity for the I'nlted States and Europe alike; and. In turn, the United States government. In the hope of seeing South Annema reaching out for wider markets In the L'rrlted States, trusts that it will alho build up and extend Its trade In Europe as well as In the United Suites, and thereby bring about a greater prosper ity for nil concerned. The United States has never . fully aw prociated the vast importance and signal huccess of the visit to 8outh America of Its distinguished secretary of state, Mr. Ellhu Rout. It is beginning now, after nearly a year has passed, to realise thut no other secretary of state In the history of tho United States has accomplished so much for the promotion of International friendship as has Mr. Root In thin extra ordinary tour. Ha did more for the re moval of distrust of the policies of the United States throughout South America and for the upbuilding of mutual confi dence and good will than the work of a hundred veers of ordinary diplomatic pro cedure and Intercourse.

Five thousand young people responded to the invitation to a "young peoples' meet ing" at Carnegie hall this afternoon. Dr. James J.

Prof. Henry Turner Bailey, agent of the State Board of Education for the Promo tion of Industrial Drawing of Massaahus setts, spoke on "The Peace Movement and the Arts." Benorita Huldobro spoke on the topic, ''The Christ of the Andes." "Sooner shall these mountains crumble to dust than Argentines and Chilians break the peace which at the feet of Christ the Redeemer they have sworn to maintain!" Ihe inaiiKuratlon of the monument of ChrlBt the Redeemer, on ths Cordillera of tho Andesa monument of International peace (the first in history) between Chill and Argentina has a grand significance at one political and social. The colossal statue upon that pinnacle, 14.450 feet above the sea, surrounded by peaks of perpetual snow, dominating as It does the two countries of Argentina and Chill, whose people have been nurtured In the same cradle and whose history la one, long though they had been blinded by fool ish antagonisms. Now they can look up the mountain and realise the lesson of peace of that supreme law, "Love thy neiahbor as thyself. " The Divine Master Jesus, the Jew, the personification of con cord and love, points out to the two re- . which' will make oFhSmanlty In h. ie eratlons to come, one world-wide family, and the whole earth the home of peace! The statuo cost about SldO.OnO and was paid for by popular subscription, th work ins' classes contributing; liberally. "Only a bit of sentiment by an emotional rveorle, aays the skeptic; but It marks not a boast or a dream. It marks an actual achievement.

Address of D'Estoaraelles. In an address at the young people' meeting this afternoon, Baron D'R'tour n elles de Constant advised the young peo ple to lcam to speak foreign languages In order to prevent misunderstandings with the people of other countries which, arising from Ignorance, he said, lead to war and catastrophe. His own ability to speak English, he declared, had enabled him to understand the Amerlcsn family, about which nothing was known In Europe. Th baron told of his acquaintance with th family of Pres'dent Roosevelt and aald that from his visit to th Whit House he discovered that th president's children were Ilk th good children of any other country; not very serious, but playing trick upon th baron Ilk his own chtl- OMAHA.

They pretended to offer him candy In boxes whech he found to be empty, put their guinea pigs In his lockets and had much fun. but altogether he said he found them good children, loving their parents snd each other. Some of them, he was pleased to note, could speak French. "If we were unable to hold conversation with each other, our lnnorat.ee would sep arate u-1iKe an ocean," suld the baron. "Instead we have been happy to know each other and I am going to return to Francs with a Very deep lmpresl;n of the Ameri can home and With an announced faith In the good will of humanity. Before my visit to the White House I had known the presi dent only as the chief tif a great state who had rendered to his country and to the world Invaluable services, but I now know the msn ss he really Is, surrounded by his devoted friends and his family, one of the most, worthy of respect and on of ths best men I have ever met." German Minister Pessimistic, PITTSBURG, April 16-Theodor Von Moller, minister of state of Germany, who Was at the dedication of the Carnegie In stitute, was the guest of honor last even ing at an Informal reception at the Ger many club of this city. Over 300 cf the club's members and their wives were pres ent. Minister von Moller, speaking In Ger man, said he declined the invitation to attend th peace conference at New York became there were a number of things he thought more profitable for him to do and because he did not think that any results can be accomplished by th gathering. "A great mnny such conferences I hav attended," said he, "and nothing has ever resulted, and I do not think this one will amount to any more than the others." Lord Orey Conies. OTTAWA, Canada, April 16.-Lord Grey, governor general of Canada, left last night for New York. 'He will speak at the Inter national Peace conference on Wednesday. CALL FOR PUBLICITY (Continued from First Page.) had indignantly denied that large sums of money had been contributed to the repub lican campaign fund. At this moment Sen ator Chandler interrupted Mr. Troup. "I think you are doing the president an In justice," he said. "I wish to appear as his defender In this respect." Mr. Chandler explained that. what th president had de nied was that contributions had been made on the strength of promises to do some thing." I "I accept the correction," resumed Mr. Troup, "but Mr. Cortclyou knew differently. He should not have deceived the president. He should have told him. What the presi dent claims he was In utter ignorance of the national committee knew about." Mr. Troup's resolution at first Included the republican national committee only, but at a suggestion that this would be a par tisan movement he changed It to take In the democratic committee. This charge was accepted by many members as being wisely reasonable. Mr. Troup wanted the resolution adopted Immediately, but eventually a compromlss was reached and the matter was referred to the executive committee with the under standing that It would make a report at some future meeting of the society. The meeting then adjourned. COLD WEATHER IN THE WEST Snow Reported In Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri, with Frees in Prospect.' KEARNEY, Neb., April (Special Tel egram.)

Tom Dennlson was subjected to a close cross-examination at yesterday afternoon's session of Judge Estelle's court when At- I torney Van Dusen for th Omaha Pally News, which Dennlson Is suing for $M,M0 I for alleged libel, questioned him as to his past life and as to his business ventures In Omaha. The last hour of the session was spent by the attorneys In the absence of the Jury In arguing the admissibility of re port of the Elmer Thomas speech which appeared In other newspapers. Attorneys Connell and Engan for Dennlson con tended the other articles could not be of fered. The argument had not closed when court adjourned. At the conclusion of his direct examina tion Dennlson said he had gone to th Dally New office to secure the publica tion of a statement regarding th article and had . talked to Joseph Polcar, the managing editor. "He told me at first that the article did not mention my name, but I told him every one could tell from reading It that it referred to me, and he said he knew It referred to me." Strong objections were made by the de fense to the admission of this testimony, but It was allowed by the court. Itennlson's Former Record, Mr. Van Dusen began his cross-examination by asking about the witness' former record. The witness said he had been In the gambling business In Salt Lake City, Leadvllle, Aspen and Ogden. His last con nection with, gambling In Omaha, he said, was In 1901 and 1902, when he was inter ested In what was known as the Cliff Cole house at 140S Douglas street. He said he was Interested with J. H. McDonald, Cliff Cole, William Nesselhouse and Sclp Dundy. "Is It not true," Mr. Van Dusen asked, "that McDonald did not hav a money Interest in the house, but held his Interest because he claimed to have Influence with the county attorney and a newspaper to protect the house?" "Yes, but we found out Ms pretentions were not good and that there were men hired to throw the house and we let him out." , The Witness said In reply to a question that he was . on unfriendly terms with Elmer Thomas and also Walter Molse. "What caused the hard feeling between yourself and Walter Molse?" he was asked. "He crossed me one election. He took my money and spent it the other way and we have not been friendly since." The cross-examination of the witness was not marked by the usual objections. His attorneys announced they would allow th attorney for the defense the widest lati tude. Th first serious objection came when Mr. Van Dusen sought to hav the witness read a report of the speech of Elmer Thomas from the World-Herald. The argument on th propriety of this evi dence was not finished when court ad journed. , On the Stand Over an Hoar. Dennlson was the principal Witness at the hearing of the case Tuesday morning. He was on the stand -over an Jitjur. and re lated his side of the controversy. He dwelt principally on the conditions existing at the time of the publication of ths Ob jectionable articles, which, he said, con tributed to th mental suffering he under went on account of it.
