Policeman Sam Brown saved his own
life as well as prevented the mur ter of
Rosa Mathews last night by the prompt

IL 80 o'clock last night, in which ristols

prominently into play, ana which bcrely
escaped ending in tragedy.
Rosa Mathews and Abraham Curry live
together in q little shanty on Fifteenth
street, near street northeast. Last
night Curry came home under the influ-
epce of liquor and in quarrelsome humor.

to have largely figured in the case.
Finally Curry declared that he would

BY this time Policeman sam Bro vn, who

Brief Story About the Man Who
Won the Great Six-Day Race.
Chicago fairly outdid the balance of
the world in the great six-day bicycle
race that came to an end at Madisobn
Square Garden, New York, last night
That city had two representatives in the
race, Charles Miller and Fred Sehinneer
Miller, who finished first in the remark

years rs q formidable rider. After his
Louisville victoIy he plugged along, 90
| ing nothing unusual on the track, but in
numerous road contests in which he par
ticipated he showed good form.
A year ago he took part i'll the well
| remembered twenty-four-huu race Oh tile
famous wooden quarter-mile track in the
Coliseum. Chicago. When he entered he
was not looked upon as anything ike a
! probable or possible winner. When the
start was made Dutch went off Mt a
rate of speed that was terrific, and as
tonished ali VITO saw him. When the fifty
mile pest was reached Miller, finding .lim-
self well up to the American record, Kept
on for the O0-Inile marx. lie broke that
record, and encoura Sed by this achievement

frfr roF, Ff,I1f
He did not win the event He finisll,i
fourth, with Louis Gimm first but he
pcrforraed the astonishing feat of riding
the last quarter nile in % 20 seconds.
After the Chicago event Tom Eek looked
upon Miller as what he really was and is,
! phoromenaI rider, and ne took him
| into his string OF racers. Miller went
with Eek into the South. riding for un-
paced records. but ne did not create much
Of an impression by his efforts.
Returning to Chicago Miller took part
In the six-day race at Tattersall's. That
event was won hy red Schinneer. The
rivalry between Miller and Schinneer in
that race was very hot. Mlller's friends
then claimed and still claim that he would
have beaten Sehinneer if il had moi been
| for foul work in his training room. Since
that occurrence the feeling between Miller
and SohiEneer has not been the most COR
dial. and the Dutehman's victory at Madi-
| son Square Garden Will no doubt give
| film the keenest satisfaction.
Fred schinneer, however, need feel little
remorse over the defeat. To be beaten
in such race az the Madison Square

and this accords with my conception of ouI
duty now. We have cherished the policy
of noninterference with the affairs of for
eign governments, wisely inaugurated by
Washington, keeping ourselves free from
entanglementS either as allies or foes, con-
tent to leave undisturbed with them the
settlement of their own domestic concerns.
Ii will be our aim TO pursue firm and
dignihed foreign policy. which shall be just,
impartial. ever watchful of our national
honor and always insisting upon the en-
forcement OF the lawful rights of Ameri-
can citizens everywhere. We want no wars
of conquest We must avoid the temptation
of territorial aggression. A war should
never be entered upon until every agency
of peace has failed; peace is preferable
to war in almost every contingency. Ar
bitration is the true method of settlement
OF international as well as local or indi-
vidual differences. 1t was recognized as
the best means OF adjustment OF diner
ences between employers and employees by
the Forty-ninth congress, IN 1886, ana It's
applica ton was extended to our diplomatic
relations by the unanimous concurrence OF
the senate and house of the Fifty-ftrst
congress in 1880 The latter resolution was
accepted as the basis of negotiations with
us by the British house of commons in
1898, and upon our INVITATION a treaty OF
Great Britain was signed at w ashington and
transmitted to the senate for its ratification
in January last Since this treaty Is clear
iv the result OF our own Initiative; since
Ii has been recognized as the leading FEAT
ure of our foreign policy throuS bout our
entire national history-the adjustment OF
difficulties by judicial methods rather than
force of arms-and since 1t presents to the
world the glorious example of reason and
peace, not passion and war, controlling the
relations between two of the greatest ma
tions of the world, example certain

urge the early action of the senate thereon,
not merely a matter OF policy, but as a
duty to mankind: The importance and
moral influence of the ratification of such
a treaty can hardly be overestimated in
