nernl Treaty of Arbi
tration. .M'.W TORK. April 17. The first conven
tion of the National Arbitration and Peace
corforenre ended tonight, after A three
days' session, with two large bnnquets. cne
at the Hotel Astof and the other at the
.Waldorf Astoria. Tho event of greatest
Interest was the decoration of Andrew
Carnegie with the cross of th Legion of
Honor by the French government, repre
sented by Baron D. Estourne'lcs de Con
stant, in appreciation of his wo.V for peace
and his gift of the palace at The Hague.
Mr. Carnegie, who is president of the
congress, tonight gave out a statement as
to the results of the congress. Although
not so designated by Mr. Carnegie, the
statement constitutes a reply to some of
the suggestions contained In the' letter
which President Roosevelt addressed to the
congress on the opening day.
Reply to Roosevelt.
Mr. Carnegie quotes these statements as
objections," and answers them as follows:
Our peace conference hoe brought tnree
objections clearly before us.
1. Nations cannot submit all questions to
arbitration. j
Answer Six of them have recently done
so, Denmark and The Netherlands, Chile
and Argentina, Norway and Sweden.
ft. Justice Is higher than peace.
Answer The urst principle of natural
Justice forbids men to be Judges when they
are parties to the lasue. All law rests
upon this throughout the civilised world.
Were a Judge known to sit upon a case n
which he was secretly Interested he would
be dlahiinored and expelled from his high
otflce If any Individual refused to submit
his dispute witn a neighbor to dlslnteiested
parlies and insisted upon being his owu
judge he would violate the first principles
of justice. If he resorted to force in de
fense of his right to Judge he would bjdts
honored as a breaker of the law. Thus,
peace with Justice Is secured through arbi
tration, never by one of the parties sitting
as Judge In his own cause.
Nations being only aggregates of Indi
viduals, they will nut reach Justice In their
judgments until the same rule holds good,
vlt., that they, like Individuals, shall not
ait as Judges In their own cause. W hat
Is unjust far Individuals 1 unjust for na
tions. ' . ' ....
a. It la neither peace nor Justice, but
righteousness, that shall exalt the nation.
Answer Righteousness Is simply doing
want Is right. What la. Just la always
right, what Is unjust fs always wrong; It
. bing .4eArst principle of Justice that
m.r ahull not be ludaes In their own cause
or refuse to submit to Judge or arbitrator
In 'unjust, hence not right, for the essence
of rlghleousmwe Is Justice. Therefore, -men.
who place Justice or Jtrtntettu,.nV,? b0m
peace practically proclaim that they will
commit Injustice and discard righteousness
by constituting themselves sole Judges of
their own cause in violation of law. Justice
"cnvllfied man has reached the conclusion
that he meets the claims of Justice and of
right only by upholding the present reign
of law. What is right for each individual
must be right for the nation. The demand
that Interested parties shall ait In Judg
ment Is the wickedness that degrades a
nation.

war has not taken and tbsn we can obtain
some estimate of the value of those Uvea
that have gone."

be guarded sacredly because created by
Qod as somethiug worthy and lasting.
The attainment of peace aa aeen from the
viewpoint of the clergy waa presented by

FEAR THE MAN HIGHER UP
Principle that Rales Ckleaco Polleo
Department Despite Civil
Bervlae Law.
CHICAGO. April 17. Fear of the man
"higher up" has always ruled the police
department of Chicago, the Civil Service
commission wae told today In the Investi
gation of charges that former Chief of Po
lice Collins had made a levy on the police
for democratic campaign purpose during
the recent mayoralty election.
Captain O'Brien of the detective bureau
testified today.
"A short time before the primaries," said
O'Brien, "Chief Collins called ma Into hla
office and said he was trying to raise
money to assist Mayor Dunne. He wanted
me to help him. He said those opposing
Mayor Dunne had plenty of money, while
the mayor himself had but little. I didn't
aay anything, but when I reached my office
I spoke to n,y lieutenants about It. I told
them I was not In favor of It, but that
I would leave the matter to them and they
could do as they pleased. A few daya
later U6 In envelopes was handed to me
and I gave It to the chief. There waa a
certain fear that exists among members of
tha department that makes a man hesitate
In matters of that kind, and they think
the beet way la to do aa the other officers
do contribute."
"Do you think that fear reaches down
to the lowest officers V
Tea"
"Do you think, then." asked Commis
sioner Wenter, "that fear stamps the
whole department aa a machine which
works according to the wlshea of the man
who has charge of it without regard to
the civil service law?"
Tea. I do." .
The hearing will be resumed tomorrow.
REAL PEACE CONFERENCE
Representatives of Nioarasua and Salvador
Open Becotiatimi at Amapala,
PRESIDENTS ARE NOT AT THE MEETING
Zelaya Said to be III aad Flgrwera
Busy, Bo Delegates Are
Beat to Disease Affairs.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-Representa-tives
of the governments of Nicaragua and
Salvador are now believed to be In con
ference at Amapala, Tlgre Island, Honduras,
or on board an American gunboat In
Fonsna bay, Honduras. The Navy depart
ment's report of the movements of vessels
gives the gunboat as having sailed yester
day from Corlnto, Nicaragua, and the
cruiser Chicago from AcaJutla, Salvador,
i from Amapala. The mission of the Amer
! lean vessels to Nlcaraguan and Salvadorean
1 ports was to convey representatives of the
; two governments to Amapala for a confer
! ence looking to a settlement of the diffi
1 culty between Nicaragua and Honduras and
Salvador. The vessels were due to arrive
early today. It was expected that the
conference would be between Presidents
Zelnya of Nicaragua and Fifruera of Sal
vador, personally, but at the last moment
it was stated that Zelaya expressed douht
as to ability to go to Amnpala. President
Flguera had not communicated any such
doubt to the T'nlted States, but It Is as
sumed that If Zelaya sends an amhassador
instead of attending personally, Flguera
would proceed In like manner.
Bonllln In Mexico
The giinboat Princeton Is reported to have
sailed from Saline Crux. Mexico, where It
landed President Bonllla of the defeated
Honduran government, for Acapuleo. Mex
ico. Senor Corea. the minister from Nic
aragua, conferred with Assistant Secretary
Bacon today concerning the conference at
Amapala. The representative of rresldnt
Zelaya. he said, la J. D. Gomex. the mln- !
later of foreign affairs, and he understands
that Minister of Foreign Affairs Garcia of '
Snlvsdor will represent that government.
The failure of the presidents of the two
countries to personally get together at
.' - rr..Ua was because of the Illness of '
, nt Zelaya, according to a dispatch
; d today by Senor Corea. It Is not j
I ' , . i ted by Senor Corea that the confer-i
ence will result In more than a temporary I
agreement, because the five states In Cen- I
tral America have decided that It Is neces
sary to hold another conference at which
all will be represented for the purpose of
agreeing upon a peace proposition on an
enduring basis. The ministers from the
various Central American states are ex
changing views with their government on
the subject or selecting Washington as the
place for holding the conference, and al
ready have assured them that such a se- '
lection would be warmly welcomed by

RUEF JURY BOX IS FULL
Panel la Now Subject - to Tea , Chal
lenges by Defease aad Five
. v j- . ' japs Stat. ' '"' , i '
SAN FRANCISCO, April 17. After pre
liminaries, examinations, adjournments and
other delays occupying In all twenty-two'
days, a trial Jury panel subject to the
exerets of fifteen peremptory challenges I
ten by the defense and five by the prosecu- j
tlon waa today completed In the Ruef
case.
When the trial was resumed this morn
ing thirty-five talesmen out of a drawn '
venire of fifty Issued to complete the panel, .
answered their names In court. Twenty- ;
six of the thirty-five escaped serving by ,
satisfying Judge Dunne that their excuses
were valid. . Out of the nine remaining, ;
four tentative Jurors were chosen In the '
course of the day, thus filling the box.
The time has now arrived for the per
emptory challenges of the jurors and much
speculation 1s Indulged as to whether the '
entire panel will be eet aside In the ex- I
erclse of this privilege or whether as many t
aa half of the twelve will survive the I
final scrutiny of Ruef's prosecutors and
defenders. It is thought likely that at ;
least another week will be required for the
permanent filling of the panel after the i
peremptory challenges have been exer
cised tomorrow. -
The grand Jury haa adjourned to meet next
Saturday. The line of Investigation now
taken-up bears on the slot machine graft of
two years ago. This Is nearlng an end and, It
la believed.' It may result In a number of
Indictments against several city officials.
Among the witnesses are a number of for
mer police commissioners, members of the
police board of 190S.
The daya of the so-called city commissary
department appear to be numbered. The
city attorney haa handed down an opinion
that the department Is Illegal and. in addi
tion, the evidence already secured by the
grand jury Is, It la said, sufficient to war
rant It In recommending Its abolition. This
means that the purchase of supplies for
hospital and other branches of the mu
nicipal service will revert to the old chan
nels and be removed from the control of
any political combination.

EARTHQUAKE NEWS IS SLOW

Mack of Devastated Regloa
la Mexico.
CITT OF MEXICO, April 17.-Owlng to
the great difficulty in establishing com
munlcatlon with the districts situated In
the regions of the greatest devastation
wrought by the recent earthquake, details
are coming to this city very slowly. From
the latest reports It Is learned that shocks
occurred as late as noon today. In the
Hat of known dead, which now totals fifty,
and of the Injured, which approximate 300,
are many names of Mexicans prominent In
the official and social life of the region.
Bo far the names of no American haa ap
peared In the meag-re list of dead and In
jured as sent to "this city.
One of the most remarkable stories of
miraculous escapes from death In this
earthquake, or perhaps In any other one,
came from Santa Julia today, where Sale
rlano college for children Is located. When
the big shock, came Sunday over 100 chil
dren were asleep in the dormitories. Thirty
five, together with the teachers, succeeded
In leaving the building before the second
story and the roof fell in. By a seeming
miracle none of those left In the ruins
was seriously hurt and all were rescued.
In Tlxtla seven people were taken from
the ruins dead today and many injured
were removed.
At Tuxtla eight dead and forty injured
are reported.
In Ayutla nine are dead and about fifty in
jured. In Huamixtlan the cathedral fell and the
government offices and the official school
are In ruins.
At Techan and Tlapa nearly all the
houses fell In, but nobody was hurt.
In the City of Mexico the damage was
heavier than at first supposed. Numerous
buildings were badly shaken.

eral Denial,
600D FAITH OF COMPLAINT QUESTIONED
Evll-Mladed Persons Bald to Have
Caased "ext Friends" to Urine
Bait for Belflsa Inter-eats.
CONCORD, N. H., April 17.-A general de
nial of all the allegations of the complaints
in the suit for an accounting of the prop
erty of Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy
filed March 1 was the legal answer made
today by the defendants named In tha
oilKinal action
The specifications In the original bill are
that -Mrs. Eddy is and has for a long time
been incompetent to do business or to un
derstand transactions conducted In her
name; that the defendant, whose answer
was filed today, with other leaders of the
Christian Science church who were named
in the original bill, have possessed tnem
eelves of the person and property of Mrs.
Eddy and have carried en her business;
that on account of Mrs. Eddy's infirm. ty
these persons are bound to give account of
ail transactions undertaken In hr name
and that the defendants have wrongfully
converted property to their own use.
To these representations the defendants
filed specific and detailed denial, declaring
also that the suit was not brought by the
plaintiffs In good faith, but that "the ex
celled 'next friends' have been Induced to
lonn their names at the Instigation of cer
tain evil-minded pet sons who are furnl h
lng money for the prosecution of the mat
ter for their own evil purposes and to
further their own selfish Interests."
Other Defendants Answer.
.Besides the Boston defendants, Calvin A.
Fry Irving C. Tomllnson, Herman 8. 8.
Herlng and Lewis C. Strang of Concord,
the New Hampshire residents among the
defendants named In the original bill In
equity, also filed their answer today. Mr.
Frye eys he has been In the employ of
Mrs. Eddy for about twenty-five years, for
a considerable part of the time as private
secretary. During all that time her house
at Concord and all other houses In which
she has resided, together with all persons
employed or connected therewith, have al
ways been under the absolute control and
direction of Mrs. Eddy. Mrs. Eddy de
termines for herself whom she will see
and the length of time that will he given
for that purpose, according to Mr. Frye's
answer, and the defendant denies that he
ever, personally, or in conjunction with
Strang or others of the defendants, re
fused to allow any person or persons to
see Mrs. Eddy, or that he has prescribed
or limited the time to be allowed to per
sons desiring to confer with her, except In
accordance with the rules prescribed by
said Mary B. O. Eddy, for the conduct of
her household and buslnesa.
The defendant . denies also . that Mrs.
Eddy is and has .been for many late years
not legally responsible for acts done by
her and unfit to manage and control her
business and property, but. on the contrary,
he avers that she always haa directed and
managed er business affairs.
Ths. answer of Strang is practically the
same as that of Frye, while the answers
of Tomllnson and Herrn yary .pnly Insofar
as their relations ' with Mrs. Eddy ' differ
from those of Frye and Strang. '

as the Object.
WASHINGTON. April 17. The chief in
terest today In ' the conference of the
Daughters of the American Revolution Is
centered In the dedication of the memorial
portico at the Memorial Continental hall.
The regents of the thirteen original states
stood on the portico, which Is south
of tha building, looking toward the
Potomac. C. W. Necdham, president of the
George Washington university, delivered a
short .address and the chaplain-general,
Mrs. Teunts 8. Hamlin, offered prayer.
The congress will elect officers tomorrow
and Mrs. McLean's friends are making the
claim that sufficient votes have been
pledged to re-olect the president-general,
despite the fact that her candidacy has not
been Indorsed by the New York state dele
gation. There is also much activity In the
camp of the "Insurgents" who will present
candidates for all the officers In opposition
to the administration, or McLean slate.
Practically the entire afternoon session
was devoted to the announcement of con
tributions to the building fund by tha

BERLIN. April 17-Klng Edward's ap
proaching meeting with King Victor Em
manuel at Gneta la attracting much at
tention In theXJerman press, whleh com
ments on the event as being an effort to
Isolate Germany and win Italy away from
the triple alliance. An article In the Co
logne Oaiette In this sense Is being widely
dlscused. because It Is believed to have
been Inspired from Berlin. The writer say
public opinion In Germany sees In King
Edward's course tin attempt to disturb the
European equilibrium, which Is calculated
to awaken misgivings regarding bis din
armament proposal, and finally warns
Great Britain that "war with Germany
would be dangerous for any opponnt or
any coalition of opponents" This sharp
language is Interpreted by the Tagllehe
Rundschau as meaning that the German
government has grown weary of the "Eng
lish game of hide and eeek and the comedy
of peace and disarmament."
At the Foreign office, when attention wns
called to the Cologne Gaxette'a article, II
waa stated that it expressed only the ed
itorial opinion of the paper; that the Ger
man government was In no way responsible
for such views and that the governtuent
officials would have taken steps to prevent
their publication if they had been known
in advance. The Foreign office does not
see any reason for disquiet In connection
with the meeting of the kings of England
and Italy, since Italy knows that its in
dependence is better guarded by being a
member of the triple alliance than If it
la thrown wholly upon Anglo-French sup
port. Great Britain s predominant position
In the western part of the Mediterranean
Is fully recognised by Germany, which haa
no interests there.
Effect of Kings' Media.
PARIS, April 17. The forthcoming meet
ing of King fc-dward and King KUward Em
manuel at Gaeta la viewed with the utmost
satisfaction In governmental circles here,
where the royal conference is considered
as not only likely to strengthen the cordial
relations existing between Italy and Gieat
Britain, but as binding ciosur the tiej be
tween those two countries and France, and
as exerting a lood effect on tha European
Bltuatlon.
Politicians Gather,
ROME, April 17.-The marquis Of Ban
Glullano, the Italian ambassador to Great
Britain, - haa arrived at Naples ready to
proceed to Gaeta it summoned to taks part
in the coming conference between King
Edward and King Victor Emmanuel. This
fact, added to the presence of Foreign
Minister Tlttonl at Naples, strenUiens the
view that the meeting of Uie two kings
will have-considerable political Importance
and that they will confer on Important
International questions, mainly the pro
posed discussion of the t,uestlon of the
limitation of nrmaments at the approaching
peace conference at The Hague.

ritory. TANGIER, April 17. A menacing French
naval demonstration la taking plaoe oft
Mogador and the general situation Is
grave, owing to the resentment of the
Moore over the French occupation of
Oudja.
Native opinion le unantmoua that France
is seeking to pick a quarrel with Morocco
In order to make further annexatlona of
territory. In the meanwhile the country
Is swarming with "provocative agenta."
Information received here from Caaa
Blanca Is that the situation has much Im
proved owing to the presence In the harbor
of the French cruiser La Iande. The gov.
ernor has paid out a considerable sum of
money to neighboring tribesmen to In
duce them to keep quiet.
The success of the French naval visit to
this port Induced the commander of the La
Lande to send ths cruiser G loirs to Mogador
In an endeavor to bring about a similar ra
sult there.
