HAS No FAITH
IN BOARDS OF
ARBITRATION
State Department May Oh
ject to the Plan in the
Alaskan Dispute.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, YELLING
TON HOTEL, WASHINGTON, Oct. A.
The result of the arbitration of the Ven
ezuelan boundary will have an effect upon
the dispute with regard to the Alaskan
boundary. There will be less disposition
on the part of the United States to sub
nit to arbitration the establishing of the
line between Alaska and British Colum-
bia than there has been hitherto. for the
work of the Venezuelan Commission
amply confirms what the State Depart
ment has always maintained about the
futility of getting rigidly just decisions
from boards Of arbitration in boundary
disputes.
1t is claimed from the reports which
come from Paris and from study of the
map that the Venezuelan Commission,
after the manner of all similar commits
Sions, simply split the difference and gave
to each of the contestants, as near as
might be, half of what was in dispute.
unanimous does not make it any more
manifest that the decision was based
strictly on weighing Of the claims and
rights. 1t only goes to show that a board,
most certain to arrive at the easiest ar
rangement which promises to settle the
controversy without creating enough dis
satisfaction on either side to upset the
settlement and while the State Depart
ment here is pleased that If any such de-
cision was to be made it should be an
nounced without a dissenting voice, there
is a disposition to question the absolute
justice of the conclusion.
A high official in the department said
this afternoon that the United States
could not afford to have the Alaskan con-
troversy treated in this way 1t would
be absurd in view of our interpretations
of the treaties with historical precedence
and with the admission of British diplo-
mats In old correspondence to permit any
kind of board to "split the difference" so
as to reach an agreement. The only ques-
x1rl,i he ITr,i+a +aI Gtota
to submit to a board of arbitration would
be the proper Interpretation of the Ian
guage of the treaties to see whether the
American contention as to their plain
meaning Is correct. We can never con-
sent to allow a neutral board to fix metes
and bounds.

O'DONNE COIN
WAS MISSING
Many Believe He Was
Murdered.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL, Oct. 4.-The body
found floating in the bay at Sausalito
yesterday by the watchman of the
ferryboat San Rafael was identified
this afternoon at the Morgue by W. S.
Shoemaker as that Of Con O'Donnell, a
well-to-do resident of this city, who has
been missing for about two weeks.
From the circumstances connected with
his death the authorities believe the
man to have been murdered. O'Don-
nell owned considerable property here
and was on the bonds of town official.
Two weeks ago he went to San Fran
cisco to visit his cousin, John Farrell,
Mission-street coal dealer. After
leaving there he disappeared.
AS O'Donnell was in good health, had
considerable property and was Of a
naturally cheerful disposition, the sui
eide theory is generally secuted. When
he left here he is said to have had
quite a sum of money on his person,
but at the time Coroner Eden held the
inquest only 500 in gold and 81 60 in
silver was in his pockets.

the. influence and relationship with the
native races and many such matters are
not viewed in the same manner on either
side Of the Atlantic. In fact, the whole
situation Is not so keenly appreciated by
Europeans as 1t is by Americans"
Replying to query regarding the de-
Hberations within the court, Mr.. Brewer
said that there was, properly speaking, no
casting of votes. Each Judge conceded
something in turn. With regard to the
proceedings in open court, he said the
hearing of arguments might have been
considerably curtailed, had the case been
heard exclusively by either an English or
an American court, but the Judges
thought 1t prudent to allow counsel full
liberty in order to make m alters clearer
TO the President who, after all, was not a
lawyer. Asked whether, according to his
own opinion, Venezuela was entitled to
more than she actually received. Justice
Brewer, after some hesitation, shrugged
his shoulders and said he would rather
say nothing on that subject and concluded
by remarking that, whatever these two
parties might think of the award, Vene
Zuela received Barima Point, which gives
her full control of the interior of her ter
ritory and England is confirmed in the
possession of territory in the development
of which she has spent considerable
money and energy, but ''the principal
blessing is that the two nations can at
last develop peacefully side by side, large
tracts OF territory, which, owing to the
previous antagonism, have remained un-

WORK AT SAN PEDRO
MAY BE STOPPED
Captain Meyler Is Dissatisfied With
the Quantity of Material
FurDiehed

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4.-There is
danger that active operations upon the
San Pedro breakwater may at an early
day come 20 a temporary end.
Captain j. ]. Meyler, who is in charge Of
the work or behalf of the Government
has notified the contractors that unless
there is at once decided improvement In
the quantity Of material furnished the
contract will be abrogated and the bond
of $500 900 furnished by Feldneyer & Neu
of Chicago, when that firm obtained the
contract, will be declared forfeited
Captain Meyler has not given the con-
tractors any ultimatum specifying any
particular time when they must make
better progress. His orders in the matter
have been Of a very general character
Stories Eave been in circulation for sew
eral weeks to the effect that the con-
tractors were preparing to throw up their
to be part and parcel Of another chapter
harbor from becoming a reality years
earlier.
Captain Meyler to-day gave 1t as his
opinion that there is nothing in these
stories, while former United States Sena-
tor Stephen NJ. White who some time
ago investigated a similar rumor, is also
of the opinion that these rumors are
groundless
The harbor contractors have thus far
expended in the neighborhood Of 5000 900
upon their plant, upon which outlay but
a small c9sh return has been obtained
Added TO this the loss, If the contract
should be declared forfeited, will amount
to 5000 900.

COLUMBIA AGAIN THE
FAVORITE IN BETTING

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-When the Column
bia enters upon the race tomorrow to
defend the Americas cup she promises TO
be as strong a favorite in the betting as
she was prior TO Tuesdays tiuke.. Bettors
to-day had entirely recovered from the
feeling of apprehension they had a1ter
Tuesdays contest. Although all Wagers

changed and odds of 10 to 9, 10 to and In
some instances 10 to were offered on the
Columbia Several bets of 500 to $50 on
the Columbia were made in Wall street,
and one or two bets were laid at 500 TO
$50 that the defending yacht would win
the series. A broker made two bets or
$50 TO 800 that the Shamrock would not
win the race.
ing were made a the Hoffman House
One bet of $500 to S4Q0 on the Columbia
and another of $500 to $500 on her We're
posted. Smaller bets at odds of 10 to
also were made.
Sportsmen attribute the shift back from
even money TO the great scarcity Of
money to back the Shamrock. Thousands
Of dollars TO be placed on the Columbia
have been lying in the safes of several
Broadway resorts since last Saturday,
and only a small part of this has been
wagered. Two bets of $50 even were made
last night in the Imperial Hotel, and
whenever any money on the Shamrock
has been found it has been promptly COW
cred.
II was expected that betting on to-mor-
rows race and on the series would be
lively to-day owing to the outcome of the
first contest. The adherentS of the Colum-
bia stood ready to make 1t so, and when
they could find no money on the Sham
night only a small amount of money has
been placed.

JUSTICE BREWER NOT
ENTIRELY SATISFIED

PARIS, Oct. A representative Of the
Associated Press this evening had a con-
versation with Justice Brewer of the
United States Supreme Court regarding
the award of the Anglo-Venezuelan arbi-
tration tribunal, from which 1t appears
that the deliberations of the court did
not proceed as smoothly and with the
spontaneous unanimity which a peruSal
of the award would lead one to believe
Justice Brewer, in reply to a question,
said
Until the last moment I believed a.
decision would be quite impossible, and 1t
was by the greatest concentration and
mutual concessions that a compromise
was arrived at. If any of us had been
asked to have given an award each would
have given one differing in extent and
character. The consequence of this was
that we had to adjust our different views
and finally TO draw a line running between
what each thought right"
Being asked whether political consid-
erations influenced that award, the Jus
tice said he could not admit that, as such
an admission would reflect on the Judges
but there was no doubt that the present
insurrection in Venezuela and the conse-
quent feeling Of instability weighed to a
certain extent in the balance.
In reply to an inquiry as to what ques-
tions separated the Judges, Justice
Brewer said: Nearly every point. In
the first place. European lawyers don't
look upon the question of prior rights re-
sulting from rights of discovery in the
same way as we do. Then the question of
the nature of control and the extent of

Sir Thomas Upton. however,
employed their hours in different ways.
The Columbia went out for a snort
trial spin outside Sandy Hook shortly
after noon to-day, principally to try
new club topsail, which her managing
owner, c. Oliver Iselin, wished TO nave
stretched and ready for tomorrow
race. Under mainsail and Jib the
yacht sailed away from her moorlhgS
and under the influence Of a fresh
southwest breeze she was soon passing
the point Of Sandy Hook. Captain
Barr brought the yacht around to wind
when the new. topsail was ready to
hoist and in a few moments the big
sky-reaching sail was mastheaded. 1t
is one of Hathaway's latest and best
productions and when laced 10 the top
mast gaff it set like d tailor-made gown
on a pretty woman. After Jacking sew
eral times TO get the sail well stretched
the Columbia was headed back for her
mooring buoy in Sandy Hook Bay,
where she arrived about p. m. The
mainsaiI was slowed and all hands
sent to supper on board the tender St.
Michaels.
c. Oliver Iselin, who, .th Mrs. Iselin
and their guests, Woodbury. Kane,
Herbert Leeds and Newbury Thorne, is
quartered on the St. Michaels, said to
an Associated Press representative this
afternoon:
I am satisfied with the Columbia's
work during yesterdays race, but not
with the weather conditions. None Of
US could tell where the wind was com
ing from, not even the sailing master
In all my yachting l do not remember
when I've seen a fiunkier day than
yesterday. With all that, however, we
had overhauled the Shamrock for the
third time when the race was called
off. She could not have crossed our
bow if she had gone about at that
time. our crew worked well from start
to finish"
Asked what he thought the weather
would be for tomorrow s race Mr.. Ise-
lin said:
7 think we shall have a good breeze
from the southwest. l hope so, any
way. for I should like to get one race
off my hands and know where we
stand"
Regarding the criticism that the
leach of the Columbia s mainsail was
slack in yesterdays race the Colum-
bla s manager SalQ: mat mas been
fixed. 1t was a little slack, but not
enough to affect the yachts sailing"
It has been understood in some quar-
ters that Captain Rhodes of the De-
fender would be on board the COlum-
bia in her races to look after the trim
ming of the sails and in an advisers
capacity.
Skipper Charlie Barr is not worried
a bit about the result of the races. He
sticks 10 his original assertion that the
Columbia is the fastest single stick
yacht afloat and that in windward or
any other work she is more than
a match for the Shamrock.
Sir Thomas Upton is not worrying
over to-mOrrow's race one bit. On the
contrary when seen to-day on the Erin
he felt confident that his craft would
give a good account of herself, no mat
Ter what kind of a breeze there is. He
wants a good, fresh breeze however,
so that the relative speed Of the de-
fender and the challenger can be
thoroughly demonstrated. He had just
returned from visit to the Shamrock
late this afternoon when interviewed
After taking a cup of tea and a little
toast Sir Thomas spoke about his sail

of what either yacht is capable of really
doing than If the contest had never
been sailed That IS the opinion of I'M
partial and calm minded yachtsmen
who saw and studied the first trial be-
tween the Shamrock and Columbia.
One thing is universally agreed to
among yachtsmen, and that is that Ho-
garth proved himself better seaman
than Barr. 1t was generally conceded
that the favoring fiukes which at
tended the Shamrock were due not so
much to Lipton's luck as TO Hogarth S
better Judgment.
