MEN OF EDUCATION
Needed to Pull Men of Experience Out
Of the Rut.

Chicago, May 2S.-Men of education
arc needed to drag men of experience
out of the rut, according to Charles F.
Scott of Pittsburg, who has addressed
the National Electric Light Association
now III session here.
| can easily recall the time when a
college education was counted against Il
man who applied for work with man
ufacturing company" said Mr.. Scott.
Nov the output of the electrical
courses of our technical schools and
colleges is not equal to the demand
The man who has good, active mind
and a sound theoretical basis even with
a small measure of practical experience,
is CAPABLE of dealing with new ques-
lions in an intelligent way. one of the
differences between the old time Drac-
teal man and the young educated engi-
ncer is that the former is capable Sim
plv of doing over and over what he has
done before, while the young man has
power which enables him to take up
new problems"

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION
Discussed at the Conference at Lake
Mohonk, N. Y.

Lake Mohonk. New Y, May 2S.-To-
days session of the conference on inter-
national arbitration was opened with
an address by DIR. Lyman Abbott of
New York. Arbitration, the speaker
said. had it's limitations; it was not
the solven of all difficulties. The right
of the free man to labor was one OF
the things that could not be arbitrated
and the Monroe doctrine was another.
S. Uchids. consul general for Japan at
New York, said international disputes
could be settled by one of three means
diplomacy, arbitration and war. The
last is the most barbarous and is GER
tainly against this Divine doctrine of
Christianity. Yet even the most en-
lghtened Christian nations cannot
avoid war. Japan does not want to
fight and does not mean to fight, but
she must keep up her fighting strength
so long as she is going ahead as ma
ton which is trying to make herself
respected by others. Give her a salts
factory assurance that she does not
need any increase in her navy and she
will be the first nation to respect this
assurance.
The first speaker of the evening of the
conference was Wm T. Penficld, coun-
sci for the United States in the trial of
the Plus cases at The Hague.

New York, May est has been
learned that John Hefferman, who was
shot at Ardsley, Sunday night says the
Herald, did not name the man he ac-

his relation to another resident hero.
The other men have been brought into
the matter. One is a young man who
does not live in Ardsley, nor is his
home in New York.
Another man, stranger to every one
in the neighborhood, has been mention
ed in the case. He was seen walking
alongn the railroad track by a young
man who was a few yards ahead of
Hefferman and Sarah Campbell and
who was on his way to visit a laun-
dress in the employ of Robert Hewitt.
The stranger was walking towards the
couple and it was not five minutes after
the young man who saw him bad
reached his destination that the shoot :
ing occurred.

Before she left Tarrytown, however
she gave a version of her conversation

with her sworn testimony before Coro-

she said that when she asked the

shot him, he responded in the negative

WI TING FANG
Made Member of Chinese Foreign Of
fice-legations Favor 1t.

Pekin May 2S-An imperial edict is
sued. today, appoints WI Ting Fang,
the former Chinese minister at Wash
ington. TO be member of the oreign
office. His rank will be below that Of
the five officials designated in the pro-
tocol. The appointment practically
creates a new office. The tendency
lately has been to ignore the agreement
that the foreign office is to have Il re-
sponsible head, with whom the lega-
tons can deal. and to return to the OH
system of the foreign board, whose pro-
CraStinatiOn was notorious. Since
Prince Ching was appointed premier h"
has been compelled to give less atten-
ton to foreign affairs. While WI Ting
Fang's appointment violates the proto :
col he is the only English speaking
member of the foreign office and he
alone has had experience with foreign
affairs. The legations, therefore, wei
come the selection.
