VAIN SEARCH FOR
HILLARY STARR
Still No Trace Of the
Missing Man.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, May 15.-The mys-
terry surrounding the sudden disappear
ance of Hillary S. Starr, the young
superintendent of the Oak Knoll ranch,
near Pasadena, three weeks ago re-
mains unsolved While the family of
Starr has not blocked the investigation
it is well known that its reticence and
eXasperating apathy have prevented
much information coming to the sur
face that could have been utilized by
the friends who volunteered aid and
took PERSONAL interest in the search
for the absent man. From Detective
A Gard, who has been employed upon
the case, it was learned to-day that
Starr some years ago. while residing
in Colorado suddenly left home and
WIS absent for an extended period. but
he did not surround his disappearance
then with sensational features. He re-
turned voluntarily but refused to give
an explanation for his absence or to tell
where he had secreted himself
The Starr family, since the shock of
the husbands leaving has passed, is
labOring under the impression that the
missing man will return. This is
heightened by the information from all
recruitino stations that no one answer
ing STAIRS description has applied for
enlistment in the army, and by the fact
that while offers of reward have sent
scores of men in quest of the missing
man no clew has been found that would
lead to the belief that he had been dealt
with foully.

Ireland gave the following statement to
the Journal correspondent to-day in an
swer to a request for his views on the
coming peace conferences:
"All civilized nations favor the under

international differences should be set
tied upon an intellectual basis, whenever

free to say that there is no other work
so well calculated to bring happiness to
all nations as that with which they are

SIGNIFICANCE OF
AMERICAN PARTICIPATION

ROME, May 15.-EX-Prime Minister
Crispi has contributed a noteworthy
article on the peace conference to the
Nuovia Antologia. He says he consid-
ers the invitation to the United States
to participate in the conference fact
of the first Importance especially as
South American States are not invited.
The appearance of North America in
the councils of Europe is a precedent
which will be followed by the interview
ton of the United States in all Euro
pean questions.
The chief interest in the article cen
ters in the record of a conversation the
writer had with NJ. Gambetta in Paris,
August go 1877. Gambetta then feared
coup d'etat, and Signor Crispi re-
marked to him that the army and
clergy constituted dangers for the re-
public. M. Gambetta agreed, and de-
clared the only remedy would be uni
versal disarmament. AS Signor Crispi
was about to visit Prince Bismarck at
eastern, NJ. Gambetta commissioned
him to discuss the delicate question of
disarmament with the Chancellor The
latter declared disarmament was prac-
tically impossible. He added: Words
have not yet been found to express the
limits of armament or disarmament.
Military institutions vary in each coun-
try, and when you have put all your
armies on a peace footing you will not
be able to say different nations are in
equal conditions for defense and Of
Tense. Let us leave the matter to peace
societies.
Signor Crispi's conclusion is scarcely
more optimistic than was Prince Bis
marcks. The conference at The Hague,
he writes, avoids but does not eliminate
reasons for a quarrel, and neglects
without destroying the germs of war
and revolution. Wars and revolutions
may be delayed. but will burst forth
whenever nations think fit. Europe has
but one way of lasting safely, namely,
the substitution of united states for di-
vided states. Thus alone can centuries
of rancor, animosity, envy and preju-
dice be Cancelled by sisterly work and
civil progress fraught with happiness
for the race. which has hitherto been
poisoned by barbarous lust of conquest.

The men who have evinced a desire

asked General Merriam's permission to
leave the camp. He has refused to
grant the request except in the case of

Special Dispatch to The Call.

BUFFALO, n. Y, May 15-The dock
situation is worse tonight than at any
time since the opening of the season.
The monthly men-the men who work
inside of the elevators-are OFT and
have agreed to remain out dntil the
grain shoVelers' and the freight hand
lers' strikes are settled. Tomorrow
every elevator here Will be idle, unless
new men can be engaged to take the
places of the monthly men, which is
said to be improbable.
Bishop Quigley and the leaders of the
grain shovelers held a conference to-
day, and it lasted until 9 o'clock to-
night. The grain shOvelers claimed that
Mr.. Connors had violated all the es-
sential provisions of the agreement that
the Lake Carriers Association had
made with the union. The Bishop af
terward addressed a big meeting of the
grain shovelers. He told them that in
view of the course adopted by the con-
tractor he would not advise them to re-
turn to work. 1t had been decided. he
said, that the only way to win a vic
tory that would have any material re-
suits, was for all the laboring men en-
ployed on the docks, including grain
shovelers. monthly men, freight hand
lerS, coal passerS or handlers, and
hosting engineers to unite and con-
tinue the fight until the grievances of
each had been settled. He said no set
tlement would be effected until Con-
tractor COnnors agreed to employ none
but members of the new Grain Shov-
elers' Union. If this demand were not
agreed to, Bishop Quigley said the Car
rierS' Association would also be asked
to abrogate the contract.
No settlement of the difficulty will
be reached now until all the boss SCOOP
ers employed by Mr.. Connors are dis
charged. The freight handlers. month
