which began here to-day, and will con-

Hon. John Calvin of Cincinnati, the
grand exalted ruler, responded He
thanked the mayor and local Elks for
their hearty welcome and then went on
to say:
THE order of Elks has been more
misunderstood, more censured and more
abused by those who do not know it
than has any other organization in ex-
istence. On the other hand, it has been
more praised, more commended and
| more loved by those who do know it
'than any other organization. Many
people have thought that it was merely
a convivial organization, with no seri-
| Gus objects OF! purposes. This is a great
mistake. The groundwork and founda-
| ton of the order is the great golden
rule of life, DO unto others as you
| would that they should do unto you"

Strangely enough, it remained for
Kennedy to be convicted by jury of
farmers here in Hartville over more
than 20 miles from any railroad, after
the authorities in such a railroad cen
ter as Kansas City had signally failed
to convict him of any of the numerous
charges of train robbery which they
had brought against him.
Six men were actually engaged in

torious old James gang; Joe Sheppard
son of member of the old gang;
Louis Nigh, young farmer of this
county, and Elmer Byram, also a
farmer, are the others accused of COM
plicity in the hold-up. Their trials will
follow that of Kennedy. Elmer Byram,
having made a full confession and
having aided the state in convicting
Fegeley and Kennedy, will probably
not be severely punished.
Kennedy. who has been looked upon
as the leader in this robbery and In
numerous robberies in the vicinity OF
Kansas City, was the culprit whom the
railroad and express officials were most
anxious to convict, particularly as they
had been unable to convict him in
Kansas City, where he was tried once
and escaped through a hung jury,
where he was tried a second time and
acquitted and where several other in
dictments for train robbery were dis
missed recently after the acquittal of
young James of similar charges. A
charge of murder. however is pending
against Kennedy in Kansas City, as he

Washington, June 2o-Private advices
received here from a high authority are
to the effect that the conference at The
Hague probably will be redeemed nomi-
nally from failure through an agreement
on an arbitration project that will satisfy
the apparently general demand on that
point but which at the same time, by
carefully framed safeguards, will SO mar
row the field of matters that may or must
go before the arbitration tribunal as to
make it arbitration IN name only. The
attitude Of Germany Is said to be only a
little in advance of that of some of the
others in opposition to the plans sub
mitted and the disaffection Is more gem
eral than 1t appears on the surface AS
foc the other projects that were especial
ly desired by the Americans, such as pro-
lection of Individual property from seiz-
ure at sea, they have all been rredeem-
ably lost, according to this report.

by the local police believe they know
who the guilty persons are. When the
Alameda arrived at Honolulu one of the
passengers to leave the vessel was an
ex-convict from Australia. He spent
money lavishly, but nothing of the rob
berry being known at that time, little
attention was paid to him. A few days
later the steamer Gaelic stopped at
Honolulu on her way to China and Ja-
on her. He paid several debts with
new English sovereigns, and when the
robbery story reached Honolulu detec-
tives began to search for the accom-
plices OF the convict.
