WOHONK LAKE, N. Y.. May M.-Th
jffrst announcement of the plan and scope
of the Carnegie endowment for Interna
tional peace, with the appointment of di
rectors of two of the divisions, was made

In his address as presiding- officer of the
Lake Mohonk conference on International
arbitration.
Dr. Butler also predicted "with au
thority" the establishment of the Interna
tional court of arbitral Justice before the
time of the third Hague conference. Dr.
Butler said:
"The trustees of the endowment have
. taken a broad and statesmanlike view of
Its alms and purposes. While they do not
overlook the value of the work of the
propaganda and Intend to aid In carrying
ll on, they believe that the time has come
when the resources of modern scientific
methods and of modern scholarship should
'be brought to bear1 on the problem of In
ternational relations.' Thev believe that
.. the leading- jurists and economists of the
world should be set at work In the service
of humanity to ascertain Just what has
been done and what are the legal and
economlo Incidents of war and Just what
are the legal and economic advantages to
follow on the organisation of the world
Into a single group of friendly and co-operative
nations bound together by the
tie of a Judicial system resting on the
moral consciousness of mankind, from
whose findings there can be ho successful
appeal. The plaus ef the trustee bave
been formulated with these, ends In view,
eono of Organisations.
"It has been determined by the trustees
of the Carnegie endowment to organise the
undertakings In three parts, or divisions
a division of International law, a division
of economics and history and a division of
Interoourta and education.
"The division of International law will bo
under the direction of Prof. James Brown
Scott. ' This division will aim constantly
to Inculcate the belief that intercourse
. between nations should ' be based on ' a
correct and definite Idea of International
. Justice. The endowment will associate with 1
Dr. Scott a eor.eulti.tlve board, composed
of some of the most distinguished Interna
tional lawyers In the world. i
"The second division will be the division
of economics and history. It will be under
the direction of Prof. John Bates Clark of
Columbia university. ,Thls division will
aim at the education of public opinion and
at' the formulation of .conclusions that
may serve for the guldanoe of govern
mental policy. ,
"It will he the business of this division
to study the economic causes and effects
of war,' the effect on the publte opinion
of nations and on international good wt II.
of retaliatory, discriminatory and preferen
tial tariffs and the economic aspects o'
the present huge expenditures for military
purposes and the relation between mill
tary expenditures and International well
being and the world-wide program for
social improvement and reform which is
held In watting through lack of means fo
Its execution. (
Third Division Sapelciaentary.
"The division of Intercourse and educa
tion, the director for which has not yet
been announced, will supplement the work
of the two divisions by carrying forward
vigorously and In co-operation with exist
ing agencies the educational work of
propaganda, the International hospitality
and of promoting International friendship.
Among the tasks of this division will be
to diffuse Information and to educate pub
f llo oolnion rcnrdlnv th. -a,i.
and effects of war and the means for its

Cunard Liner Hits
Daunt Rock in a
Fog Wednesday
Steamer Ivernia Reaches Queenstown
with Twenty-live Feet of
Water in Forehold.
QUEENSTOWN. May 24. -The Cunard
line steamer Ivernia, which left Boston
May U for Queenstown and Liverpool,
struck Daunt Rock at noon today during
a fog as It was approaching this port
after an eventless voyage.
The rtrst thnt was known of the acci
dent was when the liner passed Roche's
Point, at the head of Cork Harbor. The
fore part of the Ivernia was sunk In the
water, its stem was high In the air and
It had a dangerous looking lint to star
board. The vessel Is now resting at anchor close
to tho eastern bank of Klnloch channel
in the Inner harbor, with twenty-five feet
of water In Its fore compartment. Pre
vious reports that It bad been beached
were erroneous.
The great hole In the fore part of the
liner and the narrow margin of free board
above the water sufficiently indicated
what a narrow escape the steamer had
from destruction.
The captain brought his damaged vessel
safely Into the Inner harbor, where it was
anchored. The passengers, who numbered
758, were quickly landed.
The liner was within a mile of a tender,
which was waiting to take off the Irish
contingent of passengers, when Daunt Rock
suddenly loomed up In a dens fog, and
before the vessel's way could be stopped
the ship Btruck.
The passengers were at luncheon and
quickly rushed on deck. The ahlp only
hung on the rocks for a short time and
then slid off into deep water, with a large
aperture in its starboard bows, through
which the water poured and threatened to
flood the liner.
Captain Potter and his officers, ' however,
were' prompt to close the bulkhead and the
Inrush of water was confined to the for
ward hold. There was no sign of panic on
board.
An examination of the damaged steamer
shows that water is penetrating holds Nos.
2 and 3, as well as No. 1.
BOSTON, May 24. The steamer Ivernia,
Captain Thomas Potter, which sailed from
Boston for Queenstown and Liverpool on
May 16, carried J75 passengers and a large
cargo of freight.

When the nominating committee pre
sented its report, in which . the senator's

The news from Mexico City that the
Insurrectos were still destroying railroad
and telegraphic communication visibly
caused disquietude here.
The plan to run a locomotive a short
distance ahead of the Madero train to
scout for bombs has caused comment.
A spectacle of the latest liberator of
the country going to Mexico City under
and armed protection against bombs Is not
the pleasantest omen, said an lnsurrecto
chief.
"The reason for any opposition to Ma
dero lies in the Jealousy of certain revolu
tionary elements who resent the power as
sumed by Benor Madero and Dr. Gomes
In naming the cabinet and otherwise form
ing the personnel of the government which
is to succeed Dies." .
FIgueroa, the lnsurrecto chief, operating
near Cuernavaoa, although In full sym

arms until Madero Is safely arrived In
Mexico City, according to advices received
by Madero today.

the following telegram to him:
The country . needs the military services,
powerful and valiant, of such men as you.
and with that idea in mind permit me to
voice a general sentiment. I will be greatly
pieasea to see you remain in active service.

that all missionaries prove the orthodoxy
of their faith by answering the following
questions!
"Do you believe in the virgin birth of
Jesus Christ and the vicarious nature of
His death V
"Do you believe in His bodily resurrection
from the dead after three days, according
to the Scriptures?"
"Do you believe ln the total depravity of
natural man and the necessity of new
birth by the Holy Spirit?"

linked In history and bonnd together by
chains of mutual Interest, was the expres
sion used by a good many people of Grand
Island Wednesday afternoon, when the
Omaha Trade excursion spend and hour
and a half In the city, which is known
as the jobbing center of central Nebraska.
In some ways Grand Island aspires to
be the rival of Omaha, but there is noth
ing small about the city and the unselfish
way ln which the Omahana were received
shows the spirit of Grand Island.
. When the train arrived In the city the
band led one of the best parades ever
given by any trade excursion. They
marched down the main streets of the
city and countermarched to a position In
front of the First National bank. Here
surrounded by several hundred j?eo
pie and with every window for blocks
filled with people. Rev. Bamnel t),-Bartle,
representing the Grand Island Ad club,
stepped out Into the circle about the band
and a big round voice asked the boys and
girls to keep quiet for a few minutes. He
then presented the Commercial olub with
a large silver loving cup, on which la
Inscribed, "Here's Luck to the Omaha
Trade Excursion, May 24. 1911. Orand
Island Ad Club."
The crowd was quiet and Arthur C.
Smith, president of M. EX Smith & Co.,
accepted the gift as a swmbol of broth-,
erly esteem between the two cities.'
"We have always been admirers of each
other." said Mr. Smith, "maha and Orand
Island have always been friends and we
hope this little meeting will result ln
oloser friendship."
As the sun was beating down hot on
the crowd, Mr. Smith said he could talk
along for two hours as a result of the
visit to the central and western Nebraska
towns, but he believed It would be more
comfortable if he did not say all that he
thought about the people the Omahans
