ODD COURT
MAY SETTLE
CONTROVERSY
Treaty Is Signed on the
Alaskan Boundary
Dispute.
Effort Will Be Made in Senate
to Ratify 1t During
This Session.
Quarrel to Be Submitted to a Tribu-
nal Of Six Jurists, Without an
Umpire to Cast Deciding
Vote.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.-secretary Hay
and Sir Michael Herbert, the British EN-
bassador, to-day signed a treaty provid-
ing for the settlement Of the Alaskan
boundary question. Efforts in this di-
rection have been put forth for a long
time, the pressure coming from both
sides, the Canadian miners being anxious
to get through the Klondike to the sea
without passing through American terri
tory, and the Americans insisting upon
their right to the coast line and the con-
troll or the ports.
The treaty signed to-day provides for
the reference of all boundary questions to
a mixed tribunal of jurists, three on each
side, to determine the Interpretation to be
placed on the treaty of 1925 between Great
Britain and Russia, which defined the
boundary between British America and
Alaska This proposition is virtually the
same as that brought forward by the
american members of the high joint COM
mission which met in Washington three
years ago, but which was then rejected
by the President and Canadian represent
atives. 1t has taken three years to OBJ
tein the consent of the British and Ca
madam governments to adjust the boun-
dairy dispute on this basis
1t Is understood that the treaty has been
oraWn up after thorough consultation
With the leading members of the Senate
OF both political parties, the administra-
ton desiring to do everything possible In
advance to secure its ratification. The
committee proposed is curious in compo-
sition. consisting OF an equal number of
members upon each side, without an UNI
plre or odd man to cast the deciding vote
No other terms of arbitration would have
been acceptable. to the people of the
Northwest, who see in this ARRANGEMENT
a practical extinction of any chance of a
decision hostile to their plans. On the
other hand, to get verdict favorable to
the American claim our case must be so
strongly presented as to win the support
OF at least one of the Canadian contin-
gent.
The treaty will be submitted to the
United States Senate very soon and an ef-
fort will be made to ratify it before the
expiration Of the present session.

tention to call a meeting of the executive
committee of the Afro-Amerfcan Council
to be held in this city, for the purpose of
devising some means of regulating the
claims of colored men, so as to relieve
the President from the consideration Of
the cases of those who are not entitled
fairly to such consideration.
The executive committee consists of
three members from each State 1t is
proposed to suggest to the executive com
mittee the creation of a central commit
tee of prominent colored men, the duty
of the committee to pass finally upon the
claims of negro applicants for Federal
offices before they are presented to the
President. 1t is pointed out that this
would relieve the President of much
annoyance. and the promoters of the
scheme hope to see it carried into effect.
The President did not indicate to his call

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
Is tho safest and most efficient disin-
fectant and purifier In nature, but few
realize its value when taken into the
human system for the same cleansing pur-
pose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take Of it the better; 1t 10 not drug at
ALL but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present In the stomach
and intestines and carries them out of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth, and,
further, acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges. They are
composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal and other harmless antiseptics In
tablet form. or rather in the form OF
large. pleasant-tasting Iozenges, the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these loZenges will soon
tell a, In much aIth improved condition of the
breath and purer blood, and the beauty
of 1t is that no possible harm can result
from their continued use, but, on the con-
A Buffalo physician. in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: II advise Stu
arts Absorbent Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas in the stomach and
bowels and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath, mouth and throat; /

by the daily use of them; they cost but

SENATE DEBATES
COLOR QUESTION
The IndianOla POstohce
Case a Theme for
Argument.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-Constructive-
ly the statehood bill was to-day, as usual.
before the Senate, but as a matter Of fact
the admission Of the Territories was
scarcely mentioned in the course of the
days proceedings. AS soon as the bill
was laid before the Senate a number Of
Senators were afforded an opportunity
TO call up and secrre the passage of bills
TO which there was no objection.
After the passage of a number of such
bills the statehood bill was again called
up and Spooner took the floor He can
didly confessed his intention not to speak
to the statehood bill and then discussed
the Presidents action in discontInuing
the postoffice at Indianola, Miss, and re-
fusing to receive the resignation OF the
negro postmaster, Mrs. Cox. He defend
ed the President and was responded to by
McLaurin of Mississippi, who said there
had been no threats against Mrs. Cox
and who admitted that she was objection
able because TO her color
Spooner said the President knew that
Mrs. Cox did not wish to resign and he
hao accordingly refused to have the Of
flee vacated. The people themselves, to
all intents and purposes, had closed the
office. In pursuing the course he did, the
PRESIDENT had acted upon principle vital
to the strength and virflity of the pres
ervation of the Government-namely. that.
the Federal Government shall be allowed
to conduct its own affairs without regard
to local pressure. The maintenance of
this principle, Spooner said, was essential.
McLaurin contended that the best feel
ing existed between Mrs. Cox and the
people of 1ndianola, barring the prejudice
OF race. That this prejudice existed the
people had freely admitted and there was
no disposition to deny it.
1T exists" he said "throughout the
South; aye" he added, land throughout
the North also"
The people had exercised their right IN
petition, had done no more, and he had
never heard 1T argued in the Senate that
the people had not the right to assemble
and make known their wants. In this
case the people did not want Mrs. Cox
as postmaster and had frankly said so
McLaurin read the petition to Mrs. Cox
contending that the address was In everv
way respectful. McLaurin said he had
not seen all the correspondence in the
case, that he had requested copies of n
but had been refused by the Postmaster
General and had been referred to the
President. He asserted that there had
been no threats of personal violence land -

Miss Martina Erickson Former
Kenosha Teacher Elected to Inc
Faculty Of OOwner College
HIGH HONOR FOR FORMER TEACHER
Will Have Charge of English Department
of the We'll known College for Young
Ladies-Gives up Former Work

Miss Martina Erickson, for many
years first assistant principal OF the
Kenosha High School and one of the
most popular teachers ever connected
with the Kenosha schools, has resign
ed her duties as Superintendent of the
Schools at Atlantic City, Iowa, and
with the opening of the new year will
Join the faculty of the Milwaukee,
Downer College at Milwaukee. Miss
Erickson will have the chair of Eng
1ish at the Milwaukee college for the
coming year but it is probable that in
a short time she will take up the work
in Mathematics in which she was so
successful while connected with the
Kenosha schools.
The honor won by Miss Erickson
in her election to the faculty Of Downer
college is one which she richly de-
serves. She has been actively connect
ed with school work in Wisconsin for a
decade For eight years she was
teacher of Mathematics in Kenosha
High School and during that time she
was closely allied with the State Teach
ers Association. The State Superin-
tendent recognized her work as a
teacher by appointing her one OF the
State intitute conductors. A year ago
Miss Erickson went to Atlantic City,
Iowa, to become the superintendent Of
the schools there. She has made a
complete success of her work there but
she is now going into broader field
of action which will offer infinitely
better opportunity for advancement in
her chosen profession.
Milwaukee Downer College which is
under the personal management of Miss
Ellen Sabin has long been one of the
leading schools for young ladies in the
West and many of the brightest women
of the United States are now connect
ed with the faculty of the college. It
is enjoying steady and substantial
growth and new buildings are con-
stant1y being erected. Men of infu
euce have united with Miss Sabin in
her work and Mi1waukee-Downer prom
Uses to be a school which will rank with
Vassar, Wells and Smith colleges in
East.
A number of Kenosha young ladies
are already registered at Downer and
with Miss Erickson III the faculty
there is no doubt but that the attend
ance from Kenosha will be consider
ably increased.
The many friends of Miss Erickson
in Keuosha will be pleased to extend
heartiest congratulations on her ad-
vancement in her profession.
