MOIIONK LAKE, N. Y., May 20.-A short
service In mi'tnury of King E1 war J VII
preceded the regular ocsslon of the Ike
Muhonk conference. The business commit
tee presented a favorable report on a reso
lution by Dr. Lyman Abbott, providing- for
the appointment of a committee to recom
mend at next year's conference the best
method of giving the I'nlted States govern
ment the power to enforce Ha treaty obli
gations In the federal courts and generally
to furnish adequate protection to nun
naturalized resident.
Text of the Platform.
The conference adopted the resolutions
and also the platform, as follows:
"The sixteenth annual Lake Mohonk con
ference on arbitration congratulates the
people of the United States on the marked
progress which the last year has witnessed
) a the nge-long struggle for the substitu
tion of the reign of law for the, reign of
force In International affairs. It notes with
deep satisfaction the significant announce
ment of the secretary of state and the pro
poned legislation of the international court
of arbitral Justice, recommended to the
powers in his circular note of October 18,
3!K)9, has been received with so much favor
as to ensure the establishment of such a
court In tho near future.
. "The conferanco has further noted with
profound satisfaction President Taft's re
cent declaration In favor of the submission
to arbitration of matters of difference be
tween nations, without reservation of ques
tions deemed to affect the national honor,
and the conference expresses the earnest
hope that the president and snate will give
effect to this wise and far-seeing declara
tion toy entering upon the negotiation of
general treaties of arbitration of this char.
acter at the earliest practicable moment.
To Reduce Armament.
"The conference reaffirms Its declaration
of last year reepeotilng the portentous
growth of military and naval establish
ments and calls renewed attention to the
fact that the rapid development of the In
strumentalities of law and Justice for the
settlement of international differences fur
nishes to the statesmanship of the civilized
world the long-deoired opportunity of limit
ing by agreement the further increase of
armaments.
"The coming celebration of the 100th an
niversary of the agreement between Qreat
Britain and the United States, definitely
limiting their naval force to 400 tons and
four elghteen-pounders on the Qreat Lakes
and the St. Lawrence river, calls renewed
attention to tho continued menace to the
peace of the world, caused by prevailing
conditions elsewhere, and emphasizes the
fact so well expressed by former President
Roosevelt In his Chrlstlanla address that
with sincerity of purpose the great powers
of the world should find no insurmountable
difficulty in reaching an agreement which
would put an end to the present costly and
.growing extravagance of the expenditure in
naval armaments."
Itrjsn Gives Views.
William J. Bryan arrived here today and
presented his Ideas on peace methods to the
Lake Mohonk conference on International
arblt ration.
"Some favor large navies," said Mr.
Bryan, "in the belief that they will com
pel peace, others believe, and I share tha
belief, that peace can be promoted by dis
couraging the spirit that Inspires the build
IK"if big navies.
Our nation Is In a better position than
any other to test the power of example In
leading the nations into the paths of peace.
It docs not need to compete with the world
in battleships. It will become, an increasing
nfluenee for peace In proportion as It relies
Kin peaceful methods rather than on a show
of force.
"It ought to announce its willingness to
enter Into treaties with all nations stipu
lating that there should be no declaration
of war or commencement of humilities until
tha matter In dispute has been submitted
to an impartial tribunal for investigation
and report."

WASHINGTON. May 20.-That the United
States lias gone wild about the matter ot
armament and especially in the construe
tlon of battleships was asserted by Sena
tors Hale, Clay and Gallinger in th senate
today. These statements were made U)
connection with the consideration of the
naval appropriation bill. The bill carries
J133.OUO.ouo and Senator Hale predicted that
within five years the annual naval appro
priation would not be less than 175,OUO,-
0UU. Consideration of the bill was not con
eluded.
The opinion was expressed that the
promised reduction of expenditures would
not take place during the present session
of congress and Senators Hale and Gal
llnger, both members of the committee on
appropriations, united In the statement that
for the next fiscal year the expenditures
would exceed the revenues. Another feature
of the debate was the citation of ex-Presl
dent Hoosevelt as an advocate of reduced
armament.
It was all brought about by an amend
nient Introduced by Senator Burton pro
vlding for one battleship of the dread
nought type Instead of the two authorized
by the bill as passed by the house. Senator
Clay was the first to assert that the coun
try had gone wild In the matter of sea

If we do not stop we will bankrupt the

"That board has never been able to make

of the possession of a surplus revenue
places us In a fool's paradise."
He declared the United States had caught
Its infection from England, where the con
dillona are different.

TWO DAYS FOR ORATORY

' WASHINGTON, May 20.-The taking of
testimony In the Balllnger-Plnchot Investi
gation ended today and the committee ad
journed to meet again next Friday to hear
oral arguments by counsel.
Two days will be devoted to speech mak
ing. The so-called "prosecution" will open
and for five hours next Friday the com
mittee will listen to the addresses of Louis
D. Brandels counsel for L. R. Glavis and
Georga W. Pepper, counsel for Gifford Pln
ohot. The "defense" will sum up its case on
Saturday, May 23. John J. Vertrees, coun
sel for Secretary Ballinger will have five
hours In which to answer the attorneys for
the other side. Such time as the attorneys
for the prosecution shall have roaerved out
of the two and a half hours assigned to
each may be used in closing.
Both sides will be given until Monday,
June 13, In which to file briefs with the
committee to assist It in passing on the
great mass of evidence which has been pre
sented. Without having given previous notice, the
defense announced unexpectedly at the
opening of today's session that it had rested
Its case and the prosecution put on but one
witness In rebuttal.
Letter from Ballinger.
Secretary Ballinger sent a letter to the
committee today to the effect that a careful
search of hU files had failed to reveal any
correspondence with George W. Perkins of
the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., other than
that already made public.
Attorney Smythe, representing Mr. Pin
chot made a statement to the commlttoe
that he and Mr. Pepper desired to put In
the record certain affidavits to contradict
charges against the forest service made In
a report presented by Secretary Billlnger
regarding the Menominee Indian reserva
tion. Waste of the Indians' money In lumbering
operations was charged against tho forest
service. Attorney Vertrees said he had no
objection to the filing of these affidavits,
providing he could have the same privilege.
Objection to Argument.
Attorney Vertrees said he was opposed to
making any argument before the com
mittee. He said he could not see the neces
sity for it. If the evlder.ee had been pre
sented to an ordinary Jury he would want
to argue his case, he said, but the com
mittee was composed of legislators, oir
of them Judges and all of them lawyers,
who knew as much about the case as he
did. "And In the second place," he added
w;lth a smile, "I don't think there Is any
thing to argue."
The plan finally adopted was the sugges
tion of Mr. Brandels. He drslred to present
oral argument and to follow it with a brief
in duo course. Members of the committee
discussed the matter at length and Senator
Sutherland made a motion that each sldo
should bo given five hours for oral argu
ment and that the attorneys should be al
lowed fifteen dsys tlma thereafter within
which to file briefs. The motion carried
unanimously.

"There seems to be no doubt but what
the hookworm, which Is at present so

undoubtedly brought the germ to the soutii,
