Passes the Peace Agreement
Without Division
PROHIBITS POISONED ARMS
Also the Use Of DUN Dum' Bullets
and Treaty Defines The Action
Of Spies

Washington, March 15.-The senate
spent an hour in executive session
yesterday on the convention growing
out of The Hague peace conference
relating to the conduct of war on land
and sea, and finally ratified tho agree
ment without a division.
The discussion turned entirely on
the conduct of the war in the Philip
pines and related especially to Gen
eral Funston's capture of Aguinaldo.
Senator Teller inquired whether, If
this treaty had been in force at the
time, the method of Aguinaldo's cap
ture could have been justified. He
quoted the provision in the treaty re-
lating to the conduct of spies, and
said he did not mean himself to say
that General Funston's course would
not have been regular.
Senator Burton replied to the in
Quiry speaking especially for General
Funston. and said he was sure the
proceedings on the generals part had
been not only humane, but that it had
been in accordance with the rules of
civilized warfare. It was true. he
said. that General Funston and his
force had acted somewhat in the ca
pacity of spies, but what they had
done had been in the line Of honor
able warfare.
Some of the members of the COM
mittee on foreign relations said briefly
that the ratification of the treaty
would place this country in accord
with the highest thought of the times.
and expressed the hope that the
treaty would receive the unanimous
support of the senate.
The most important feature Of the
treaty is that prohibiting the use of
dun dun" bullets. Among other
things specially prohibited are: To
employ poison or poisoned arms: to
kill or wound treacherously individ-
uals belonging to the hostile nation or
army; to kill or wound an enemy.
who, having laid down arms, or having
no longer means of defense, has sur
rendered at discretion; to declare that
no quarter will be given; to make i'm
proper use of a flag of truce and the
enemy's uniform, as well as the dis
tinctive badges OF the Geneva conven-
tion.
The treaty provides as follows re-
garding spies "An individual can
only be considered a spy if acting
clandestinely. or on false pretenses
he obtains or seeks to obtain informa-
tion in the zone of operations of a
belligerent, with the intention Of COM
municating it to the hostile party.
Thus, soldiers not in disguise, who
have penetrated into the zone of op-
erations of a hostile army to obtain
information are not considered spies.
Similarly, the following are not con-
sidered spies: Soldiers or civilians
carrying out their mission openly,
charged with the delivery of dis
patches destined either for their own
army or for that of the enemy"

BUSY TIMES At FREIGHT HOUSE
Rush Con tiHueS and a Large Force Of Men
Is EMPLOYED

The rush at all the freight houses is at
tributed TO the fact that the recent
storms c.used washOuts and delayed
traffic at many points Freight delayed
by these causes is almost all in now, but
business continues good and comes up TO
the standard Of last October and Novem-
ber which We're the heaviest months for
freight in several years.
During the past few days nineteen
men have been added to the regular force
at the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore freight station to assist in
handling the large quantities Of freight
coming in. The smaller districts have
not been shipping their freight for some
time owing TO the poor conditions of the
roads. and now that repairs are made,
they take advantage Of them and send
all in at once. Another thing that causes
crowded freight stations is the consignees
will not have their orders delivered at
their places Of business, but prefer to
leave them in the house till they see fit
to get them. The men work for five or
six hours and then are Obliged to stop
because of the jam and have 20 wait un-
Ill space is cleared in which they can
work.
Ihe men at the stations can unload
the cars much faster than the freight
can be hauled away An official at the
T., W. and b. freight house said this
morning that traffic was the heaviest
from the lower part of the Peninsula
All the material coming into that station
now is from Chicago, st. Louis and in
termediate points. Interior districts and
New York districts are nearly cleared
up. He said, also, that they expect to be
caught up in three or four days and they
can then handle their business more regu-
larly.
