j Mr, Taf t Explains
About the Proposed
Worlds Tribunal
NEW TOriK, May S.-Th world court
slilrh the world court onifress, in -'Mon
here, would creste, w outlined to
lliay by William Howard Tuft, honorary
jreldcnt of tho congress. The aim of
ithle proposed permaiifint world tribunal,
llr. Taft explained, would be to settle
aifferencc, such as are settled today by
A domestic court on principles of law
Mid equity nd ss they arise between
jtistlons.
, Mr. Taft emphasized a distinction be.
pneen arbitrations and the sui(g.:ted
irorld court.
! "The general rule, in arbitrations is the
decision is a compromise-It Is not clear
put Judgment on questions of law and
Equity," the former president explained.
Tartles are not given their rights or
Subjected to their obligations as fully
ftnd aa completely as they ought to bo
,nd as they are in a domestic court, of
"There I not eny reason why with
respect to question of a lgal nature
Ui tribunal between nations should not.
pursue the ml- of law and equity with
th same degree of fidelity as do domcs
lo court.
"A rbll rations sre generally made up of
temporary arnltiators. The person aro
elected for the particular case and this
Feature lends support to the diplomatic
'rnethod of reach!" a compromlKO con
clusion" '
. Illustrating his idea of distinction be-
K' een arbitration and tho proponed world
bunal, Mr. Tuft pointed out thsjt the
juration of American exclusion of un
desirable immigrant might become a
ubjnrt of arbitration, but oould never
become ono of seftlumrnt by a court o
a mutter of legal -nature "because our
ogal right Justify the discrimination If
Vr choose to make It."
Klmllarly, .Mr, Taft said, political ques
tions, such as tho Monroe dm-trlnc, sr.
Dot to be settled as a matter of legal
right, for. In this case, "v. cniii'iit claim
It is a prluclplo "f International arbi
tration which we ere asserting. We ari
nerly esBertlng a policy which we deem
Jtrary for our welfare."
Mr. Taft declared that had a world
Court been In exlslence tn H the Issue
of Herbla's responsibility for the killing
pt the Austrian crown prince and his
ejrlfe "might have been settled by a hear
ing and decision" and the time taken In
the submission of the controversy and
he court's Judgment "would have gone
a long way to prevent the present war,"

Smyth Loses Wallet and Can't Pay
Barber, Who Starts to Hunt a Cop
This tale hss no moral.
It is merely the plain recounting of the
peculiarities and skeptical pmpensMIrs of
a local exponent of the tonsniial art who
thought an Omahan wa trying to evade
payment of the tariff on one ihave.
S. E. Smyth, assistant secretary of the
Omaha Aumloblle club, ha the expen
sive habit of getting shaved every morn
ing, lie goes to the same barber every
morning, too, to take his dally face
hoeing. Hut the morning in question found him
In a strange part of the elty (he waa
out scouting for new members) about the
time the bristles began to make them
selves felt en hi manly face.
Bo flmyth darted Into the nearest re
treat bearing th "sign of the barber
pole," flung himself into a chair, said
"shave," and was soon burled under a
steaming blanket of hot towels
After the operation was over, and he
had been properly talcumed by the ex
pectant rasor artist, who saw in hi cus
tomer a possible tip, Hmyth slid from the
bsrber ehslr, resched In his pocket and
Ten thousand little fishes and aa many
of ye gods!
On the one morning be had happened
into a atranre barber shop. Hmyth found
thst he had lost his pockethook. A bill
book containing several dollars waa gone;
in his pockets were Just three copper,
,By UIM.HM V. KIRK.
When I'a calm hoam last nit he had
a book under his arm, the name of th
book 1 irefu) Kack for Useful Peepul.
I know why you bought that book, d
Ma.
Wy, sed I'a.
On account of the last part of th title,
sed Ma. You wanted to be inclooded
among th wurld's useful peepul, so you
spent a cuppel f perfeikly good, useful
dollar for that book.
The book Is worth It. sed I'a. Ater
one has read ail this book enuff time
w remember everything in It. he may
call hlsself a well educated man. That
is what the agent told me, sed I'a. Thar
is a awful lot of good dope in thla book.
for instena, sed I'a, I newer knew until
I red it that Cleopatry was a southpaw.
A what? sed Ma.
A left-handed person, and Pa. Hh was
left-handed A that Is why Mark Antony
wasent onto her curves A it says In this
book that there I place In Mexico war
a horse can travel all day In a strata
line A find nothing to drink. I wuddent
want to be a Mexican horse, tril Pa.
I doant think that book 1 worth any
two dollars, tho, sed Ma. "What in the
world Is th sense of cramming yure hed
up with a lot of fack and flggers that
are of no use to you. I know how to
bound Uruguay A Parrygay, too, aed Ma,
but that knowledge baa never calm In
handy to me.
Htlli, s'd Ta, you will find a lot In
this book that Is worth knowing. It 1
nk to be a cul-tured person, sad Pa,
one thst can keep talking In a parlor
wen everybody else I toe bashful, It
says in this book that a Mexican em
peror In the old day was so strong that
he cud brake a man's skull by snapping
him on the hed with his fore-finger.
Well, sed Ma, now that you have yure
wonderful book, I m In hope that al
most every evening will find you In yure
easy chare, reeding it wunderful page
A getting brlter and brlur a the eevn-
Inga go by. i
I will be proud of my husband a yeer
from now, sed M. All of the peepul In
eur set will be saying what a well In
formed man you are. Maybe by the
end of a yeer you will be smart enuff
to cum hoam every nlte erly, Ma aed. .
' I forgot to tell you, sed Pa, that In
this book Is a lt of chapters about the
stunning gowns that was wore by the
eld time butles, ueh a Madam Pompy
dor A Missus Iu Harry.
Is that so? aed Ma. Well, that shud
be Interesting. I-et me see.
After a while, sed Pa. I want to read
It s while first. I want to read about
this romance between the yueen of
Sheehy & I'rlnce Reeier.
Well, sed Ma, If there Is eumthlng
In the book about gowns and romances,
I donnt auppos you psld too muoh for
It. We need a few extra books In our
library, Ma eed. I mlte have known,
dnerest, sed Ma. that you wuddent pick
o il a book that waeent worth reading.
Then Ma patted Pa' cheek A called him
her preshus.

"t say, old man." explained Smyth,
'I've lost my pocketbook. Tou'll have
to trust me."
"What's that?" snapped the barber.
"Trust you? I don't know you."
"Well." replied the auto club official,
who by this time wa beginning to get
hot under the collar, "I guess my credit's
good fur 13 cent; I'm the assistant sec
retary of th Omaha Automobile club,"
"Huh!" wa the unenthuslastlo rejoin
der of the doubting barger, "we had a
fellow In her last week who waa presi
dent of an automobile company. He
couldn't ratae the price of a shave,
though, and found himself In a bad way
by th time he left."
"I tell you, young fellow, the best
thing you csn do 1 to cough up those
three Jlla or I'll call a cop."
After a heated argument, a council of
war was held between the ibarber and
flmyth, the latter finally telephoning to
the Auto club headquarter down-town
headquarter for succor.
On of the attendant rush . to . th
scene with 11 cent and th day wa
saved.
Hmyth made three new resolution
that he'd have a button sewed on his
wallet pocket; that he'd never patronize
a strange barber shop; that he'd buy a
safety raior rather than go through su'h
an ordeal again.
Danish Astronomer
Discovers Planet
CAMBRirtOK, Mass , May a. -The dis
covery of a planet by Dr. Wolf of Koe
nlgstuhl Is announced in a cablegram re
ceived at the Harvard college observa
tory from Copenhagen. Th object,
which had a comelary appearance, had
a dally motion of minus thirty-two sec
onds In right ascension and plus five
minute In declination and whs vbilhle
through a large telescope. Its position
a observed en April 17, .4124 Greenwich,
mean time, wa right ascension 12 hours
40 minutes, 14 second and declination
plus 2 degrees, 24 minutes.
Kalher Wllllnm IDgge, Crelghton uni
versity astronomer, Is acquainted with
Dr, Wolf. He believe the discovery I
not of much importance.
"Dr. Wolf make a specialty of dlscov
erlng small bodies," he said. "He doss
It by photography. It is not likely thst
this discovery la one of a planet, t
least not a large planet It Is hard to
tell the difference between a small planet
and a oomet or between a comet and en
asteroid without long observation and
study of the body in question. Between
a real planet and a real comet the mark
of difference la decided, but there Is
certain respect in which some comet are
very much like planets, for example, tn
not having toils and such bodies may
readily be mistaken for planet."

Iowa Scientists
Perfect New Fire
Proofing Liquid
IOWA CITf, la., May 1-tSpeolal.)-Announcement
waa made today by the
pharmacy department of the Iowa State
university of the discovery and perfec
tion of a liquid which, according to pro
fesaors, will revolutionise the method of
"flreprooflng" n they now are known
and practiced. Accenting to member of
the faculty, who have worked on and
observed the liquid, It renders Inflam
mable article a twiil ut ely noncomhustlhle
and also act aa a preservative aaalnst
decay.
The new compound. It was announced,
Is the higher development of a eubslanee
discovered several months ago by Ar
thur Arendt, a druggist of Hudger, 1
As first discovered th compound ren
dered wood, cloth and other materials
Impervious to flame, but was soluble.
This lessened Its value, since It oould be
washed out by rains.
The Inventor came to the university
and enlisted the assistant- of members
of the department C chemistry. More
than a week waa put In trying every pos
sible compound of the basin elements of
which Arendt originally had made use.
At length the exiierta began to notice
reactions, which they seld are new to
their knowledge of chemicals, and a com
pound waa formed which fulfilled all
