All the records that were on the boards in the Wooster alleys were glv- en tremendous hammering last night that will keep their opponents busy for few games 10 equal.

PEACE SOCIETY ASKS FOR
PEACE AMONG AMERICANS

Boston, April 1.-THE following com
munication bearing upon the international
American conference to be held at Rio
Janeiro, sent to President Roosevelt by
the American peace society, was made
public here today:
Theodore Roosevelt. President of the
United States:
The board of directors of the American
peace society, in common with other clti-
zens of the nation are expecting that the
forthcoming international American con-
ference at Rio Janeiro will contribute
greatly towards the strengthening and
perfeeting of the bonds of friendship be-
tween all the state of the western hemis-
phere. They particularly hope that the
Instructions given to the United States
delegation and the action of the deega-
ton in the conference may be in every
respect such. as to convince the Central
and Southern American countries that the
United States has no intention whatever
in unfolding the Monroe doctrine or in
any other of its policies of trespassng
upon the rights of other American re-
publlcs as Independent and sovereign
states. but wishes only to promote in
every possible way their highest indepen-
denee and self development
The board respectfully asks that in
formulating the instructions to be given
to the United States delegates you will
consider whether it would not be wise In

GERMANY EXPLAINS.
Took No Action to Discredit the Pan
American Congress.

Cologne, April 1.-The Gazette to-
day prints an inspired dispatch from
Berlin which denies that Germany in
stigated Russia to call the second
Hague conference for the month of
June, in order to compete with and de-
tract from the Importance of the Pan
American congress. The dispatch adds
that Germany knew nothing of En-
peror Nicholas intention TO call a
meeting of The Hague congress before
the invitation was received several
days ago. The dispatch further conf
bats the view that Germany has taken
special interest in The Hague confer
ence because she may oppose the So
called Calvo doctrine which denies the
right of one state to interfere to col
lect its subjects claims against a for
eign state so long as the courts of the
latter offer a prospect of unprejudiced
adjudication.
The dispatch further states that this
view has been disseminated in South
America in order to create suspicion
against Germany, and that It's falsity
is evident, since Russia alone and I'M
advised called The Hague congress,
Germany having nothing whatever to
do with the call.

TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION

Philadelphia, April 11.-That rates are
posed of various coal carrying roads was
the admission drawn today from railroad
officials at the final hearing of the inter-
state commerce commission investigation
into the alleged abuses of the coal trade.
Through j. g. Searles. coal traffic man
ager of the PENNSYLVANIA railroad, who Is
also chairman of the all-rail traffic ASSOC
citation, il was learned that this organi-
cation not only fixes the percentage of
tonnage allotted to each railroad, but
also establishes the rates. Counsel for
the commission produced the minutes OF
meeting of the tidewater btuminous
steam coal traffic association held Sep
TENDER 10, 1900.
The records showed that a resolution
offered by the Norfolk and Western COM
pany permitting that company and the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad to carry
tidewater coal at the rate. of $1.25 ton
was voted down, and that the rate was
fixed at $l4 a ton on Mr.. Searles' resolu-
ton. Mr.. Searles admitted that there had
been an agreement as TO the tonnage to
be allowed each road. and that II one
road shipped more and another less. u
settlement was made. He said that there
had been no settlements since 1896.
In explaining the establishment OF
rates Mr.. Searles stated that each COM
pany fixed its price which was later

SOCIETY FORMED TO
FIGHT MOSQUITOES
THEY ARE KNOWN TO BITE MORE
THAN ONCE AND ARE SET DOWN
AS A NEEDLESS AND DANGER
Gus PEST"

New York April 1.-THE American
Mosquito determination society began IT'S
third annual convention here today. Presi-
dent w. j. Matheson of New York, in his
opening address, said that a large per-
centage of the population of this country
yearly lose their lives or are incapaci-
lated by disease from the insidious work
of the mosquito.
THE mosquito brief," designed to con-
vey information regarding mosquitoes and
TO form a confession of faith of the So
ciety" was discussed and adopted. Some
of its declarations are:
'There are over 100 species Of mosquitoes
IN the United States
Mosquitoes are known to develop from
two to three weeks into winged insects
Some species lay as many as 300 or 400
eggs at a time. Only few mosquitoes live
a month"
Rigid tests prove that certain species
are the only natural means of trans
hitting malaria and yellow fever Other
diseases are known to be conveyed by
mosquitoes"

agreed to by the members Of the associa-
ton If any company should reduce the
rate, he said. 1t would demoralize the
general situation.
Mr.. Searles denied that there was an
understanding to MAINTAIN rates between
all rail and all water associations for the
purpose of preventing competition It.
was shown by the records of the traffic
association that in 1889 the rate of soft
coal to New York and New England
points was 81. 30 except to the Boston and
Maine connection which had a 81 AS rate
In 1900 these rates We're raised to $l.S5
and $1.75 respectively. Since then there
has been no change. Mr.. Searles denied
also that the purpose of these rates was
to stop competition.

the. Pennsylvania railroad, was recalled
today and produced documents relating

The Pie Belt.

From the Lewiston (AIaine) Journal
The town of Shawmut, Maine shipped
100000 pie plates on one day last week.
OF these 100000 went to Providence, r. l.,

England, whereas Baltimore is not New
England and Providence is so far over
the border that it is almost in Phila-
ledphia Yet here we see the land of
terrapin and oysters, calling for Pie, Pie,
the exotic Pie then the receptacle of
Pie, the undercrust of Pie, the foundation
OF Pie, indicating the growth and develop
ment of the Pie industry south of Boston
Now Pie has long been held by philoso-
pliers to be the real brain food of Maine
and certain other New England states
Especially has Pie been the substratum of
the national eminence of Maine men, On
pie they have reared the fabric of their
greatness-nince pie for endurance. Gus
tard pie for sympathetic tenderness, APP
pie pie for philosophy. BURBERRY pie for
rhythm. squash pie for e1oquence and flow
OF words. pumpkin pie for old-fashioned
common sense and strawberry pie for pol
Ism and graces of society. All of these
come from Pie. Baltimore and Provi-
dence have evidently discovered the fact.
and. emulous of our greatness, have de-
cided to build on Pie and wrest the supre-
macy of intellect. craftsmanship and art
away from Maine But they will never
do II. For here we build not only the
pie, but also the mothers who make
them. No pie factory can compete: no
trust-made goods can approach those
made here in the homes of the folks.
shawmut may sell plates for Pie, but
