Sir Edward Grey, parliamentary secre-

to William P. Byles, one of the Yorkshire
members, who questioned the government
on the subject Of the trouble between
Great Britain and Venezuela, said in the
house Of commons yesterday that the gov
eminent could not agree to submit to arbi-
tration the question of Great Britain's
right to territory long settled and governed
as part of a British colony. The govern
ment, however. was willing to submit to
arbitra ton the question which had arisen
regarding certain territory beyond the
Schombufgh line, and, he added, the gov
eminent of Venezuela had received a mott

property Owners Who VIII Give Land
for 1t COnditiOnally.
Messrs. Robert I. Fleming. Philip Young,
Robert Weaver and John w. Thompson,
who own property adjacent to the site Of
the proposed observatory circle around the
new naval observatory, north of George
town, called upon the Commissioners to-
day and presented plat of the proposed
circle, showing the location of land be-
longing to citizens which will be required
by the opening of the circle. The delega-
ton announced their willingness to convey
the title in fee simple of such land as
might be needed for the proposed thorough
fare, provided it be opened to the public
its entire length. As now planned the pro-
posed roadway will run through the
grounds of the Industrial Home School, the
property of the United States, and before
the land can be occupied and a public
highway opened the consent of Congress
is necessary. The delegation left with the
Commissioners the plat with the signatures
of most of the property holders referred to
attached, conveying the land for a public
highway, with the understanding that the
same will not be recorded until the consent
Of Congress has been obtained for the OPEN
ing of the roadway through the Industrial
Home School grounds.

ETHICS OF THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC..
The Norwegian System of State Con.
troll Discussed and Urged.

The Norwegian System of State Con.
troll Discussed and Urged.
The School of Ethics ran up against a
theme yesterday which infused life into
what is ordinarily very quiet gathering.
1t was 1.-THE Liquor Problem: Its Scientific
Treatment" and the lecturer was Prof. E.
R. L. Gould of Johns Hopkins, The scien-
tiic treatment proposed was the Norwegian
or Gutenberg system, adapted to our spe-
ciai conditions and customs. A distinction
was made between this system and the
South Carolina plan, which some have
thought to be identical. The latter, the
lecturer said. is SO involved in politics that
1t contains in itself grave danger Of imper-
manence. If 1t endures it will doubtless
result In strong political ring, based on
! the control of votes through use of the dis
pensaries. The Norwegian system is apart
from political feeling or action, and places
the control and sale of liquor in the hands
Of system which rules out self-interest.
Those who sell make no profit from 1t and
derive no advantage of any kind from 1t.
All profits are turned over to charitable
uses, under the control of the state The
Scandinavian method is to give the state
control and monopoly by local CONNER
cial agencies. In Norway the statistics
showed reduction of alcoholism by one
half since its introduction.
DR.. Champion, chemist of the Treasury
Department, in the conference which fol-
lowed the lecture, stated the attitude of the
United States government toward the alco-
hol traffic to be simply one which concerned
the revenue to be derived from taxing it.
Its relation toward producer and dealer,
he said. might be described to be that of a
silent partner, who demands all his profits,
but screens himself behind the men who
dare deal in the thing itself, and avoids all
responsibility for the way in which the
trade is conducted. He urged that govern
ment could and should see to 1t that IL
liquor was to be sold. it be pure. He had
little faith in state control

SxynllOWed a blackstone.

Little Minnie Frankel, a four-year-old
child was playing with jackstones on the
front stoop of her parents house, at No.
go 18th avenue, New York, on Wednesday.
Minnie placed one of the iron Jacks in
her mouth and tried to swallow it. 1t
lodged in her throat. DIR. Stimson of the
New York Hospital was called in and ex-
ercised his skill, but the blackstone slipped
down into the little girls stomach. For a
little while Minnie seemed to be better
but afterward the frghtful agony which
she suffered for six hours returned, and the
child died early yesterday morning from
exhaustion.
