NEUTRAL ARBITRATORS
WILL Be SELECTED
Unique Provision in the Paris
Fund Protocol.
Neither a Mexican flor an American
to Be Chosen as a Member
of the Board.

The protocol on the Plus fund arbi-
tration treaty signed between the
United States and Mexico contains. a
new feature.
Hitherto 1t has been. the custom for
each litigant to choose a representative
on the tribunal. Then third was Sc
lected from a neutral state. This made
the first practically agents of the coun-
tries by which they had been selected
and the umpire was the real tribunal
OF arbitration.
In this protocol 1t is stipulated that
each country shall select two repre-
sentatives. not natives OF either the
United States or Mexico. thus making
the entire tribunal neutral. Unusually
good results are expected from this
course.
This provision was deemed necessary
in view of recent experiences In arbi-
tration. In nearly every case the ar
bitrators selected by government
from its own citizens or subjects has
insisted on giving the award to the gov
eminent he represented.
4 recent notable instance Of this was
the action of the Salvador representa-
tive on the Salvador claims commission,
which met In Washington to arbitrate
claims filed by citizens Of the United
States against the government of Saliva
dor. When Chief Justice Strong, of
Canada. the president OF the commits
sion. and Don NJ. Dickinson. the Ameri-
can representative. had handed down
their award in favor Of the United
States. the Salvador arbitrator. a citi-
zen Of that country. accused Justice
Strong and Mr.. Dickinson of unjudicial
and unfair conduct and personal i'll
treatment CT the Salvador representa-
tive. who declined to abide by their
decision.
Another important feature OF the
treaty is that Mexico andJ the United
States may provide by subsequent ar
rangement not to confne the selection
OF their arbitrator TO the list OF mem
bers Of the permanent tribunal Of The
Hague. Such an arrangement would
permit the selection of any two persons
not citizens OF the United States or
Mexico who may be desired. The third
arbitrator, or umpire. is. however, to
be taken from the list OF The Hague
tribunal members.

duct of which was subject of inquiry
by Congressional committee.

was released he instituted suit against
the members of the investigating COM
mittee. the Speaker of the House of
Representatives and the Sergeant-at-
Arms to recover 100000 as damages for
alleged false arrest and Imprisonment.
When the matter came to trial Mr..
Kilbourn was awarded damages in the
full amount asked, which was the larg-
est sum ever given as damages on a
personal action in this Jurisdiction. The
verdict was. however. only against the
Sergeant Arms, the action against
the others having been discontinued. A
new trial was granted the defendant and
at the second issue Mr. Kilbourn was
awarded $50, COO A third trial was grant
ed the defendant and this time damages
TO the amount of $4,000 was returned
against him. This amount was finally
reduced to 10000. which was paid under
an act of Congress.

mitted to the asylum for treatment are:
William H. Hobbs. Eustace a. Ansley

Their away from her and presently when
she sank down exhausted in a swamp
the light disappeared altogether.
Whatever truth there may be in the
story, it forcibly illustrates the career of
many a woman who has followed the
marsh fire of love in the belief that it led
TO home and comfort and found herself
at last exhausted and deceived.
IT'S a BITTER LESSON
learned by many woman who thought
love all-sufficient, that love alone cannot
be the foundation of the home. 1t needs
health. Strange as it may seem the
beautiful loving woman who is weak
may lose the love of the husband for
whom she broke all home ties, while on
the other hand a woman who has no
greater dover than robust health may
win and hold the love of her husband
past all possibility of loss. The first re-
quisite of marriage is health. The wife,
first necessity is health. Health must
be the mothers or she will know no
happiness in her children. What makes
ill-health so common among women
Why do they suffer with headache, back
ache and pains past description? These
sufferings are in general caused by dis
ease of the delicate womanly organs, and
they are in general durable by the use of

GAS FROM THE AIR.


The Claim is Made Tint Il viii Displace all
Other Fuels.
Henry Soeder, an obscure and poor
German grocer OF Cleveland, Ohio,
will soon put on the market a gas
which will cause an upheaval in more
than one industry.
A company called the Soeder Heat
& Lighting Co. has been formed to
promote the invention. The gas is
drawn from air and hence is cheaper
than coal, wood. ordinary gas or kero.
sene, and the supply is inexh austible.
1t will replace coal in the operation
OF locomotives, blast furnaces, steam.
boats and all other industries where
steam-power is required. With a
trunk full of Soeder's mysterious
chemical an ocean liner could be run
from New York to Liverpool.
The gas can be used for both fuel
and light. The gas will melt copper
in the open air, thing no other gas
or heat-giving material known to
science will do. Soeder also claims to
have discovered the secret of absolute.
ly perfect combustion.
