Geneva Convention Committee Attains First
Result of Conference.
CAPTAIN MAHAN SUGGESTS SOME CHANGES
Persian Delegate Offers Proposal to
Change Red Cross Emblem to
White Flag with
Red Sun,

| THE HAGUE, June 2O.-The Geneva con-
Vention committee held plenary session
| today to consider the report of its sub
committee. Captain Mahan of the American
delegation again drew attention to the
| omission of an article defining the exact
status OF wounded and shipwrecked men
railing into the sea during a battle and
picked up by neutrals or by hospital ships.
He also proposed three additional articles,
which were referred to the drafting COM
mittee. The Persian delegates, General
Mira Rirza- Khan. who is Persian minister
to Russia, moved to change the red cross
emblem to white flag with a red SUM-
The plenary conference met to adopt these
additional articles and appointed a COM
mittee to draw up general act embodying
the report of the Geneva convention Sec
conference.
The American delegation considered that
some additions were necessary to cover some
omissions in the text These additions will
be left for the powers to consider, but
whether they are adopted or not they do
not affect the ten articles passed today.
The Americans also made a formal demand
for the exemption of private property at
sea from capture in time of war. This ques-
tion was not included in the circular of
Count Muravieff and may possibly be ruled
out of order. IT, however, a discussion
should be allowed the exemption would prob
ably be supported by majority, mainly
composed of the smaller powers.

BERESF0RD DEFENDS SLOAN
Not Altogether Blnmeless. but Had
Great Provocntion for
His Act.

LONDON, June 20.-The Evening News
today publishes an interview with Lord
Beresford, who is quoted as giving an ac-
count of the incident at Ascot, in corrobora-
tion of the statements of Tod Sloan, the
American jockey, regarding the insults of
the waiter and the latter's intentional up
setting OF the table. Lord Beresford added
"At this Sloan and his companion went
for the waiter, the latter hitting the waiter
in the face with his fist, while Sloan hit
him with champagne bottle, which, how
ever, was not broken. or course we in
England regard an attack with bottle as
despicabe and as bad as drawing a knife,
but in Sloan's case there was, first, great
provocaton. The waiter undoubtedly be-
gan the quarrel. Secondly, the waiter
was great, hulking chap, weighing 224
pounds, while Sloan is little man, inca
pable of fighting him on equal terms. Sloan
was sober. Before you judge him too
harshly think of what he has gone through
He was first made popular hero and lat
terly strong tide of opposition has set in
against him, presumably because people
have lost money.
Certainly the Jockey club will not sus-
pend his license The case Is not within
its jurisdiction. When he was previously
unfairly treated it did not interfere because
we believe in letting him fight his own bat
ties and there is no doubt he has had
battle to fight. We have had anonymous
letters saying Sloan is dead man If he does
not leave England Immediately. The pub
lie ought to be informed of the great provo
cation under which Sloan acted"
The anti-Sloan demonstration which was
expected to take place at the Gatwick meet
ing today did not materialize. There was
some cheering when his mount won the
selling handicap.

the number being the Cochran and Ballard
estate, the entries of record in which are
particularly voluminous. In the Ballard
estate up to date there have been entered
no less than eighty-seven pages of record

Chicago Board of Health Takes Ac-

Pure Water and MIX.

CHICAGO, June 20-The question of the
Chicago water supply occupied most OF the
time of the special executive meeting OF the
State Board of Health held here today.
DR.. ]. A. Eagan, secretary OF the board,
submitted a plan for establishing a number
of stations on the Des PLANES. Illinois and
Mississippi rivers, from which samples of
water shall be taken and analyzed at reg
ular intervals. The tests will be continued
after the drainage canal has been opened
to ascertain what difference will be made
by turning the sewage OF Chicago into the
| Illinois river.
The infection OF dairy herds OF the state
with tuberculosis was thoroughly discussed.
Under the opinion rendered by the attorney
| general OF the state the members OF the
board are prohibited from making tests for
| tuberculosis unless they have reason to be-
leve 1t exists. A resolution was adopted
asking the legislature to give the Board of
Live Stock Commissioners authority to make
tests in the dairy herds OF the state and
that an appropriation commensurate with
the duties thus added to the members OF
the commission be made. The total sum OF
100000 is asked for this work
| 1t was decided to urge the state legisla-
ture to appropriate a fund adequate to the
needs OF the Board OF Live Stock Commits
sioners, this sum to be probably $50, 900 the
| first year, 100000 the second and 500, 900 the
| third year. The board will also urge that
the commission be authorized to administer
the tuberculine cure to all the cattle in the
| state If necessary, and that the committee
| institute systematic examination of all
cattle in the state, those cattle not proving
| by the tuberculine test to be free from
tuberculosis to be condemned and the own

of prices fixed by the Live Stock commits

Motor Company's improvements

The motor company will begin some eX-
tensive improvements in a short time. 1t
has been decided to remodel the car barn
and workshops and have them placed on a
more extensive scale. The buildings will
be covered with corrugated iron, nus max
ing them perfectly fireproof. The manage
ment is also figuring on the placing of signs
on the cars. When this is done the public
will be greatly benefited thereby, as it Is
purposed to put on signs that can be read
as easily at night as in the daytime.
