POPS MEET TO TALK
NATIONAL COMMITTEE HOLDS ITS
 ANNUAL CONFERENCE.
Chairman Ferris Declares that Repub- Iicans Will be Forced to Run Roosevelt Against Demo-
 cratic Candidate

St. Louis. June 27.-The National Committee of the Peoples Party met in annual conference here today. Dele gates were present from almost every State in the Union.
 The gathering is for the purpose of discussing the political situation and will assume somewhat the appearance of a convention before adjournment to- morrow evening. It is said that possi- bly the party members will endorse a man for the presidential nomination.
 At the Southern Hotel a conference was held today by members of the con- terence provision committee which is advocating a mammoth national con- vention of all the reformed forces of the nation, the object being to organize a political body of unity. harmony and strength.
 The conference was called to order by James H. Ferriss, national chairman of the Peoples Party, who said in part:
 This is the first meeting held by the national committee since the official healing of the differences between the mid-road and the Fulton factions of the party. The party is at peace with it. self. The nation smiles with us, be- lieves in our sincerity and rejoices in party, coincidence no doubt, the na- tion politically has turned about face. The people. not the money barons, make progress in the ascendency. The call amity hoWlers are now the boosters. Today there are no disorganizing or discordant spirits among the national committee. The rate bill does not meet Populist demands, but 1t is a stop showing at least that the statesmen wish to do something for the people. Populists will push on for government ownership of those industries possess fnn apf Roosevelt, Senator LaFollette, Thomas Lawson, W. J. Bryan, Governor Folk and w. R. Hearst nicknamed Populists by their Wall Street despisers are the great men of their parties and 1t Is their Populst tendencies alone that than their ordinary fellow partisians. It is so recognized by their party managers, for Bryan. Hearst or Folk will be taken to defeat Republican for the presidency. Likewise the Re- publicans understand they can defeat them with no other mon than Roose- welt"
 The afternoon session began with an address from Thomas H. Tibbles of Omaha, who was the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Party in the last campaign.
 Col. H. I, Bentley of Abilene, Texas, was appointed chairman of a commit tee of fifteen to consider and draft a proposition to be submitted to the con ference for adoption Colonel Bentley in an address said that in less than one year he had organized over 2,250 Peo- ple's party county club organizations throughout the United States but had done so without oficial authority from the Peoples Party and now the com mittee would draft plan for the con tinuance of club organization through out the country for official sanction and adoption by the National Committed
 Several committees were named and the conference took a recess until 8 D. m. to permit the committees time to confer.

Death Chances in Battle.

Tn Homeric days a battle was a con- fiict of armed mobs The nearer you got to your assailant the better was your chance of killing or being killed. The bigger the man the better were his chances In the strife. In these pipln5 times of mechanical warfare, says The Scientific American. the situation is re- yersed. Battles are fought at ranges of a mile or so. The smaller the man man the less are his chances of being hit An ingenious mathematician mas figured out that perhaps the casualties on the Japanese side must have be3n considerably less than those of the Russians In the recent war if 1t be as sumed that the craftsmanship ot each was equally good, The advantage of the Japanese was inversely as the cubes of their height and breadth. The av- craze targets offered by each of th9 enemy are as the cubes of l'5SS ana 1,642. or as 10e to 11S. an advantage In favor of the Japanese of about 12 per cent.

 The weather hAs been bad here for the past week. frequent rain. great heat and much moisture is In the air. It has been most depressing even for men in public many years younger than the junior Senator from Alabama. General Pettus ahs simply been com pelled to take care of himself. He is not suffering, from the best account obtainabis. and his condition is not such as to warrant alarm on the part of his closest friends.
 It Is understood that he proposes as soon as possible to return to his home in Alabama. regardless of how long the session of Congress may last Mrs. Pettus left for home about two weeks ago granddaughter and other rela- lives of the Senator are here with him.
 Senator Baiiey's speech today was the great event in the Congressional proceedings. He had an exceptionally large audience and most of the Ala bama delegation in the House were in tercstcd listeners to the Texan, while he proceeded to answer the charges made against him in the magazine cons trolled by William R. Hearst and in the latter's daily newspapers.
 Senator Bailey was warmly congrat- ulated by prominent men of both par ties, after he concluded his remarks. and had perfect levee in the cham bers By unanimous consent today Representative Burnett had passed in the House his bin for a power plant on Little River in Alabama In which H. T. Henderson and others are interes- ted. The company has spent about s60.00a towards building the plant, and found they. were encroaching upon United States government property.

WILL VOTE ON TREATY.
Senator Morgan Opposed Ratification {
 Alxeciras Conference.

Washington, June 27.-The Senate today agreed that the Algeciras treaty in relation to Morocco shall be brought to a vote on December 20. at the next session of Congress, which Is the lat est date on which action could be had if the United States Is to participate in the convention. The treaty re- quires that the notifications must be deposited at Madrid on December 31, next.
 Senators Bacon and Morgan led the opposition to the treaty and prevented aefavorable report in the Committee on Foreign Relations today They agreed, however, to permit vcfe early next session if 1t were made public so that the country could know its provisions. This was agreed to by the Republican members of the Committee and Senator CulIom offered the resolution fixing the date December 20 for the vote
 The Democrattic opposition was bas- ed on the ground that the treaty un- dertakes to establish laws for Morocco and to permit the powers to assume precedent to take similar Course with Turkey and other weak nations. It was claimed also that the reservation made by the United States as to re- sponsibility for the enforcement of the treaty shows that there can be no good reason for the participation of this Government in Moroccan affairs.
 The reservation follows: "The govern ment of the United States having no political interest in Morocco, and no de- sireN or purpose having animated it to takeNpart in this conference other than to secure for all peoples the widest equality of trade and privilege with Morocco and to facilitate the institu- tion of reforms In that country tending anCN fo1g Af Exakn course without stability of administra- ton within for the common good de- clares that in asquiescing in the regula- tion and declarations of the conference in becoming signatory to the general act of Algeciras and to the additional protocol, subject to ratification of con- stitutional procedure and in accepting the applicatin of those regulations and declarations of American citizens in Morocco, 1t does so without assuming obligations or responsibilities for the enforcement thereof"

Not very long ago there was on the Lancashire coast, England, a cottage and boathouse that were made almost entirely from ttle remains of a score or so of whales that had. been driven
 ashore some ysars before. The frame work of the edifcs consisted wholly of whalebone. and the dried skins of the huge creatures were neatly and stronE7 ly fastened as covering for walls and
