UNDER WAR RULES.
International Lawyers Agree on
Articles Affecting Hertzian
Waves in Wartime. !

Client, Sept. 27.-The Institute Of In
ternational Law held it's closing ses-
sion here yesterday. The following
articles relative to wireless telegraphy
were voted upon:
The regulations governing wireless
telegraphy in time Of peace are apple
able in principle in time of war. Bel
igerents may prevent the transmission
of Hertzian waves by a neutral state
over the high seas within the sphere of
their military operations. All persons
taken prisoner while receiving or trans
hitting wireless messages from bellig-,
sections of belligerent army are not
to be considered spies, but are to be
treated as prisoners Of war, unless their
operations were carried on under false
pretenses. Carriers of dispatches re-
ceived by wireless, who make use Of
concealment or ruse in their work will
be regarded as spies. Neutral ships
and balloons proved to have been used

A neutral state has a right to close
or take over the wireless telegraphy
station of a belligerent operated in it's
territory. Every prohibition in the
matter Of wireless communication made
by belligerents must at once be COM
unicated TO neutral governments.
In the matter Of submarine mines

provision was passed:

!. There, is a very strong probability
that at the close of the present season
Henry B. Harris will send "The Lion

what transpires in America, and as the
majority Of the theatrical entertain

this belief is that Josephine Lovett.

Special to The Journal.
Iowa City, Iowa, Sept. 27.-Fouf
children in Iowa City are suffering
from the effects Of poison-drugged can
-dy, administered to them by an un-
known tramp. They are Margaret
Wallen, aged 9; Hilda Springmier, aged
3; Dorothy Wallen. aged 2 and Will
lam Wallen, aged l6 months.
The man had attempted to lure
away the eldest girl Of the quartet,
from her home, coaxing her with the
candy. She had eaten of it, as had
the babes in her charge. The man in
duced the four to 90 across the road
from their home, and there he seized
Margaret and endeavored to hold her.
The girl IS mother, not seeing the child
rem, called them repeatedly, and started
broke away from the fellow, and, with
her little charges, fastened home. Later
the man pursued even Mrs. Wallen
down the highway, to point near the
Iowa river. Her husband s timely ar
rival frightened the rascal, who fed,
avoiding his pursuers. The officers
have no clue to his identity.
All the children became deathly sick
not long after they ate the candy, and
for hours they were in peril. The
.Springmier child was the chief sufferer,
and her condition was grave for some
time.

PLUMBERS STILL
OUT IN THE COLD
Mechanics and Builders in Winni.
peg Back at Work-What
the Strike Cost.
Special to The Journal.

winnipeg, Man., Sept. 27.-Five
thousand skilled workmen and their
hosts of laborers went to work today
all except; the plumbers for whom they
marched out in sympathy ten days ago.
The plumbers are still at loggerheads
with their employers, who positively
refuse. TO- arbitrate their difficulties as
they say they have filled the places Of
the striking union men and want none
of them.
agreement was signed last night by
Harry Alberts, chairman Of the central
strike committee, and Alderman David
son, chairman of the builders exchange,
that the latter organization will take
back all strikers and will use it's power
to keep down such friction as led to
the strike Of the plumbers.
The exchange will give preference to
union labor when it is available. An
arbitrati on board composed Of A. W.
Puttee, A. M. Nanton, Alex Macdonald,
R. T. Riley, a fifth to be named by
them, has been chosen to act in case
Of future complications. No existing
agreements between the men and en-
ploYers are allowed or cancelled by the
settlement.
The total loss during the strike is
roughly estimated at $3,000,0O0, in
Guiding wages, prospective litigation,
waste of time and material.

Nelson and the Muolraker.

r. If Graham Phillips is as easily stuffed
and as ready to credit falsehoods with
regard to other members of the senate
as he has been with regard to Senator
Nelson, his "Treason in the Senate' is
entitled to no consideration. In para
graph devoted to Senator Nelson in
the October number of the Cosmopoli
tan he speaks Of him as "the fore
most Of the Jim Hill bunch Of sena-
tors.' IF Mr.. Hill had been inquired of
and had told Mr.. Phillips he could have
truthfully informed him that Nelson
is no senator Of his. { ( G-S,s%%
The whole statement with regard to
Senator Nelson is so utterly at vari-
ance with the truth as, for instance,
when he speaks Of his Flong public ca
reer, during which the people of Min
nesota had loaded him with honors and
he had rewarded them by aiding their
chief. enemies, the Interests - as to
make it supremely ridiculous to people
Of Minnesota who know the facts.
But for specific instance Of Mr.. Mel

The effect that Senator Nelson is re-
sponsible for the paragraph in the bill
creating the department of commerce
and labor, which enabled Judge Humph.
rey to give to the beef trust it's "im.

which made it's appearance first in the
Mortified News, whose editor is bitter
~ hostile to Senator Nelson because he
once thought it possible that he might
hold a seat in the senate himself. He
has sent this ridiculous story all over
the state, and for answer the republi

Atlanta s Shame.

2 The appeal to conservative Atlanta
which is made by the newspapers Of
that city is sad admission of the fact
that Atlanta went insane on the SUBJ
ject Of the negro atrocities, and
In It's rage created a condition
which was far worse than the
one it attempted to control. In a
spirit of savage revenge the white ele-
nent of Atlanta ran amuck thru the
streets tearing unoffending and peace
able negroes, boys, in knee trousers as
well as older ones, from the streetcars,
and beat and stamped them to death.
This was the civilized white man IS an
groes. It was a. horrible travesty on
Justice and placed Atlanta In a plane
with Kishinef. The city has now
awakened to the fearful. crimes which
have been committed, in the name of
chastity, and it sits in sullen sack
cloth while the ministers Of the city
and the newspapers fog it with i'm
punity.
The whole wild outburst of white
savagery in the south appears to be
based upon the assumption that the
negro is going to obtain the upper
hand in the near future. Is there any
likelihood of that? Is there not dis.
eased imagination back Of this fore
boding? No white man Of the south in
his calmer moments believes it. yet he
keeps up the chase Of the negro in an
effort to subdue an individual who has
not shown fight, and who is not ambi
tious to attain power. The south also
complains that the negro is led. on by
an ignis fatuus Of social equality. II
may be doubted whether even this is
within the purview Of the negro.
But the negro is a man. It is not tt
be supposed that he will be always
ready to run when the white man be-
gins to shoot, that he will always pa
tiently carry the burden Of the indus
trial community and take the stripes
Of contempt. The white people arr
storing up wrath for themselves in abro
eating the rule Of fair play. Furnishing
negroes who commit crimes, summary
punishment for one crime where it i!
clearly established, is not objected tt
even by the negro, but he does ant
he ought to object to living under {
reign Of terror.

What Other People Think
Party Lines In Primaries.
TO the Editor Of The Journal.
Sch11vler q Woodb,,n IL aseo,,e.;.

70 the Editor Of The Journal,
Schuyler G. Woodruff, in discussing the
primaries in his letter in last Sundays
journal. seems to forget that laws are or
should be made for the benefit of the peo-
pie. HE says suchS a perversion Of the
primaries as we have witnessed is cause
for chagrin and regret entirely aside from
any partizanship. =
Why? Have we cause to regret the re-
sult-the nomination Of Mr.. Jones on the
republican ticket because some demo-
Gratis voted for him? Does he think par
~ loyalty more sacred than good citi-
zensh1p! Does he place party above the
general welfare? Would The deny any
man on account of his politics the right
to vote on a non-partizan Issue?
He seems to forget that all progress In
government has been accomplished by
boilers. Does he regret the nomination
and election Of Lincoln and Mckinley?
Both won by democraticavotes
He says that the legislature must find
some way to penalze breaking thru par
ty lines. What! Punish a. man for fol-
lowing the dictates of his conscience in
stead of the mandate Of a party boss?
Such laws might work in Russia-not
here. He says If I am a republican, a.
democrat has no more right in my pri-
mary than a burglar has in my house.
If the direct primary destroys such blind
partizanship as exhibited by S. c.
woodruff, 1t ought to be supported by all
good citizens. wv. H. Fruen.
Mr.. Fruen, like a good many others,
does not seem to understand what pri-
mary elections are for, The direct pri-
mary takes the place Of the old-time con-
ventlon. 1t Is a means by which mem
bers of each party may select party can
I didates. The participation of members
Of other parties in nominating conven-
ton would not have been regarded as
proper or right. Why should it be re-
garded as any more eommendable to al
low members of one party to vote for
candidates for another in the primary
election? There are no political rights
or legal privileges denied by refusing to
permit men Of one party to vote in the
No voter has any rights Of that kind
outside of the party to which he belongs
AS for following the dictates of his con-
science instead Of the mandate Of a party
boss, If conscience ts properly active in
fthe matter the voter WIN not switch over
from his own party to another in the
primaries, because It. is clearly against
| the spirit and the letter Of the law.
When 1T comes to- the regular election
| the situation is quite different Every
voter is then at liberty to select his can
dtdates regardless Of party, but manifest
| ly when party selections are to be made
1t is only fair and right that the selection
| should be made by members of that par
| ty and by no others.

ADJUSTMENTS
Foyer Chat,

Local theatergoers have reason to ex-
pect something out of the ordinary when
Charles Dillingham; presents Robert Lo-
ra1ne in Bernard Shaw's great comedy,
Man and Superman' at the MetropoH-
tan operahouse tonight and for the re-
mainder Of the week with matinee Sat-
urday. A successful play is best known
by the attention it attracts. This being
the case, MAN and Superman' takes its
place in the first rank Of comedies that
have met with public approval. MIR. Lo-
rain drew public favor toward himself
by the superior manner in which he por-
trayed the leading character of Mr..
Shaw's play. This is the first time 'Man
and Superman'' has been given in this
city.
''The Lion and the Mousse which
Henry B. Harris will present at the Met
ropolitan Sunday night, Is the first play
to be based on "frenzied finance condi-
lions and it's timely theme has much to
do with it's sensational success. Because
the public insisted on identifying the lion
with one Of Americas money barons the
play has attracted widespread comment
from newspapers and magazines all over
the country. The company which will
present the piece here under Mr.. Harris
direction Is one Of much excellence.
Edith Warrington, the leading woman in
the musical comedy, 1.-The Umpire
which comes to the Metropolitan opera
house for three nights engagement, be-
ginning Thursday night, Oct. 4, was last
season a member Of the FRITZ Scheff
company. Miss Yerrington has won un-
stinted praise from dramatic critics ev-
erywhere for her charming performance
Of Lady Fitzhugh.'' One of the biggest
song hits Of the piece, Lets Take 4
Trolley" is sung by Miss Yerrington.
1t is doubtful If anything has ever oc-
casioned as much genuine enthusiasm on
the part of an audience at the Bijou as
the famous race scene In "Bedford's
! Hope between the automobile and q
train Of cars. The illusion is so perfect
that when the automobile gradually
FORCES ahead of the locomotive, many Of
the auditors are to be seen on their feet
shouting. and everybody seems beside
himself with excitement. The play it.
! self is one Of the best melodramas ever
seen on the, local stage, and all the parts
are skillfully. handled by well balanced
company of players. The usual souvenir
matinee will be given Saturday.

Charles e. Blaney, entitled "Old Isaacs
from the Bowery,' which will be seen at
