GREAT BY TREATY OF PEACE.
Butler Finds Europe Ready to Lister
to the United States.

Butler Finds Europe Ready to Lister
to the United States.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16-That the sue
sessful outcome of the Russo-Japanes,
peace conference in Portsmouth, N. H.
has given the United States an i'm
mense influence In world politics is the
testimony given by DR.. Nicholas Muir
ray Butler, president of Columbia uni
versity, who has just returned from 6
three months tour in European coun
tries.
Everywhere" said DR.. Butler, u
heard enthusiastic praise of the stand
taken by the United States. The pres.
ident was spoken Of in terms Of the
highest respect and admiration. 1 can.
not say that it increased his prestige
for so greatly was he admired and re
spected before that that would be i'm
possible. The conclusion of the nego
tiations was satisfactory to Europe
1t was thought that enough bonds had
been fioated by both belligerents
While 1t would have been possible for
Japan and Russia to obtain more mon
ey, 1t was felt that the withdrawing OF
more capital from Europe and locking
1t up so 1t might not be used in the
development of industries was not to
be desired. The issuing Of more bonds
would have been tax on the market
and at the same time would have been
likely to depreciate the bonds already
taken. 1t is the general opinion over
there that the best thing possible was
done In signing a treaty of peace at
this time"
Dr. Butler said that thinking men in
Europe greatly deplored the nagging
spirit shown by certain of the British
and German journals.
THAT" said he, II think is the only
disturbing factor In European affairs
at the present time. There are some
English journals. most Of them high
class. too, and several magazines which
are continually haunting Germany. and
there are German publications which
pursue the same policy toward every
thing English. The cause of II all is
an Industrial and commercial rivalry.
for Germany Is making wonderful
progress from a material point Of
view"

Out, Then Ran Miles For Help.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Sept.
16.-John Siegel, ranchman, respect
fully commends to President Roose-
welt a new method of subduing a wild
cat. Mr.. Siegeps plan is to waltz with
the beast.
Its only natural" explains Mr.. Sic
gel, that a man can outwit a wildcat,
because a Wildcats hind legs amt
built for terpsIchorean exercises. which
the same have discovered"
1t appears that Mr.. Siegel in ira
versing a mountain pass ran into a
wildcat. which charged upon him.
Mr.. Slegel backed up until the animal
was standing erect, with front feet
outsretched. and then made q sudden
leap and embraced it.
They waltzed for about two hours,
when the wildcat, exhausted. loosened
its grip and began to look for place
to rest. Siegel-and he is truthful
man-ran nine miles into Colorado
Springs to get somebody to Stay his
late partner. When the slayers reach
ed the impromptu ballroom In the
mountains the wildcat bad departed.
Il amt much Of waltzer myself,
confded Mr.. Siegel to the disappointed
hunters. but II simply goes to show
that all you've got to do when you
meet a wildcat is to write your name
on her dance card for the next number
and run for assistance"

TRADE IN IMMORAL POSTCARDS

Unsuspecting Foreigner Negotiated
With Anthony Comstock.,
New York, Sept. 16-The picture
post card craze has inspired some of
the publishers of continental Europe,
with a business instinct uncurbed by
moral considerations, to make q strong
effort to flood the United States with
cards that are popular with certain
class abroad. Americans on vacation
In Europe who pick some of these
cards up at stationers' stands and ad-
dress them to friends whom they want
to surprise here may wonder why they
do not reach their destinations. 1t is
because the post Office inspectors
seize them as unfit to go through
Uncle Sans mails. That is not the
only way, however, that the cards
come In. The publishers send them
here by wholesale. either through the
custom house or post Office, and the
local dealers sell them to vendors Of
shady retailers.
Anthony Comstock. Of the Society
for the Suppression OF Vice, said yes
terday that he had put stop to much
Of this sort Of traffic against the for
elgn publisher in his own city. Re
Gently a publisher in Amsterdam was
suspected Of supplying dealers here.
Mr. Comstock, using another name and
pretending to be a dealer. wrote them.
Then he put the case before the state
department which notified the Ameri-
can minister to Holland. who inform
ed the Dutch authorities that the pub
Usher was violating the American
postal and other laws. The publisher
was invited to leave Holland. He
did so. but took his business with him
and continued It ct Budapest. From
there he sent word Of his change OF
base to Comstcck. suppOsing him to
be a dealer in improper pictures. and
not knowing that Il was Mr. CoinstOck
that had got him into trouble The
American minister to AUSTRIA Hun
gary was notified and the publisher
was forced out Of Budapest

EX-MAY0R JONES TO TURN FARMER

L. B. Jones, who has just retired
from public life upon the completion
Of his four years occupancy OF the
mayors chair, is now likely to turn
poultry fancier. Mr.. Jones, whose
health mas been failing for the past two
years, and who is not able to get
around without the use of crutches,
finds that he must seek light outdoor
employment of some kind, and con-
siders that the chicken business will
afford him desirable occupation Mr..
Jones will probably dispose of his home
in this city and purchase some small
farm near town, where he will go into
the chicken business on an extensive
scale.
Mr.. Jones retires from publ: life
with the good wishes and sympathy
Of many friends. He has served the
city for several years, first as patrol
man on the police force, then as city
marshal, and during the past four years
as mayor. He has been greatly llandi-
capped during the past two years or
more by his i'll health, and it is hoped
that outdoor life will, in time, restore
him to good health.
