The Arbitration Movement.

LONDON, June 15.-The international Ar
bitra ton and Peace Association has sent a
letter to a number of American and Euro
pean jurists of international repute asking
assistance to clear up questions of the law
on annexation and the rules of warfare.
The committee having the matter in hand
which inclosed the parliamentary return
on farm-burning in South Africa, consid-
ers IL desirable TO obtain the collective au-
thoritative opinion of the leading jurists OF
the world on these subjects Events in
South Africa and those which have re-
Gently occurred in Cuba and the Philip
pines" writes the committee, "seem to
call for such an expression of opinion from
those who have devoted themselves to the
study of the philosophy of law, as it may
exercise an important influence upon both
the people and the governents."
The letter, which is signed, among 9TH
ers, by Felix Mosoheles. chairman of the
International Arbitration and Peace AS
ISOLATION, incloses what is described as a
trough enumeration of the opinions of re-
cent writer's" All those who are quoted
deny the right of annexation by force, ex-
cept by authority of the congress of states
or the declared will OF the people. The in
closure winds up with pointing out that the
British nominal annexation of the South
African republic is in direct contraven-
ton OF the above opinions.

Company had nothing to say about the ac-

officials, who own the Northfeld held an
investigation and exonerated from blame

Railroad officials are investigating, as are
the police. The government. through the
local board of steamboat inspectors, will
hold an examination next week.

Terre Haute PubIicans Think the

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, June l5.-The
Liquor Dealers Association has decided not
TO attempt the enforcement OF the Sunday
laws against druggists, milkmen, street.
car employees. etc, Tomorrow After a
sharp discussion IL was voted 10 postpone
the attempt, at least until week from to-
morrow. Some of the saloon keepers are
opposed to the retaliatory policy alto
gether and others reported that they had
information causing them TO believe that
the closing policy against saloons would
not be long continued.
IL was pointed out that the failure TO
convict saloon keeper before a jury OF
leading business men probably would dis
courage the new police board. Two police
men testified TO being i'm his place after
hours and finding the bartender and some
men there, but the saloon keepers evidence
was that the bartender was a member OF
his family. and that he was not i'm the bar
proper, but in a small room at one side
ana connected by a swinging door On
this evidence the jury was discharged as
disagreed after an hours consultation
The saloon keepers think this is an indca-
tion that the general business community

that reason the association appointed a

Club and other business men about the

Two Billion Dollars of Capital In
voIved-Important Changes on the
ID. q o. Southwestern.

CHICAGO. June 15.-The Tribune to-
morrow will say. "E. II. Hartman was the
directing figure in two movements begun
yesterday. and which are expected to af-
feet every railroad running west of Chicago
and ST. Paul. What was held TO be the
first step toward a composite agreement
between the great roads running west OF
these cities, was perfected a a conference
held here between Mr.. Hartman and of
ficials OF the companies concerned. BY its
terms an ironclad agreement to end rate
wars and other complications, Is expected
TO be spread over all the roads in the
northern group. including the Northern Pa
cifc, the Burlington, the Milwaukee st.
Paul. the Union Pacific, the Northwestern
and the Great Northern lines. To the
Southwest the Santa Fe will operate hand
In hand with the Southern Pacific 1t will
be a community of interests plan and
provides that the Pacific Mail and Occi-
dental steamship lines, controlled by the
Southern Pacific, shall take care of the
Santa Fe's transpacifc business.
THE other move directed by Mr.. Harri-
man was the practical provision for the
transfer of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul to the Hartman syndicate and the
turning OF this line into link of the Union
Pacific system. This plan was arranged at
a secret conference held at the Auditorium
Annex. attended by many railway men and
a number Of bankers. Little doubt is en-
tertained that the syndicate has acquired
control Of the Milwaukee and st. Paul on
practically the same lines that j. j. Hill
secured control of the Burlington. The
stock OF the st. Paul road will be taken
over by the Union Pacific at the October
meeting. 1t is reported that the stock
holders of the former line will be offered
$500 of 4 per cent. bonds for every 500
worth of stock, and that the bonds will be
guaranteed by the Union Pacific, the
Southern Pacific, and the Missouri Pacific,
and the Gouds. who are ssid TO be parties
TO the transaction. Certain large stock
holders Of the st. Paul, 1t is said. have
sold or agreed to sell stock amounting to
about s25,O0o.Oo0 par value. Peter Geddes
is said TO be directly concerned in this deal
along with James Henry Smith and Will
liam Rockefeller, all of whom are direc-
tors. The deal will be financed at the
Eastern end by the National City Bank, of

MUNCIE. Ind, June l5.-At $50 o'clock
this evening the jury returned verdict in
the case of William Jones. charged with
murder I'm the first degree for the killing
OF James Herington last March, finding the
accused guilty of manslaughter. He Will
go TO prison on an indeterminate sentence
Of from two TO twenty-one years. The jury
deliberated twenty-four hours. and because
the public had believed he would be found
guilty in the first degree promptly IL was
thought, after the long delay that there
would be a disagreement. While the long
deliberaton was on the public had be-
come aroused. and threats against Jones
were heard If there was no verdict or in
case of acquittal. This verdict seems to be
satisfactory TO the defendant and his rela-
tives. They had hoped for nothing better,
but the public is not satisfied.
The first ballot was 10 to . for conviction
four votes were cast before all voted for
conviction. Then five voted for life-sen-
tence punishment and seven for manslaugh-
Ter. When the swing was made for man
slaughter on the twenty-flrst ballot IL came
rapidly, and the verdict resulted.
