LOND0N'S PEACE MEETING
Bryan's Rider Unanimously Adopt
ed For Arbitration Treaty.
Baron de Constant BIames Germany
For Trying to Rival Navy Of
the United States.

London William J. Bryan's pro-
posed rider to the model arbitration
treaty was discussed at a session of
the international Council of the In
terparliamentary Union and resulted
in its being recast as follows:
IF a disagreement should arise
which is not included in those to be
submitted to arbitration the contract
ing parties shall not resort to any
act of hostility before they separate
~ or jointly invite, as the case may.
necessitate, the formation of an in
ternatiOnal commission of inquiry or
mediation of one or more friendly
Powers, this requisition to take place
il necessary in accordance with Arti-
Gle VIII. Of The Hague Convention.
providing for a peaceful settlement
of international conflicts"
The above was unanimously adopt
ed after speeches by former Austrian
Minister of Commerce Won Plener
and Mr. Bryan; warmly supporting
the amended rider The latter said
that his amendment was aimed at
widening the scope of arbitration so
honor, the CHANCES being a hundred
to one that the proposed investiga-
ton of facts would also settle any
question of national honor. If the
hand of war could be STAYED till the
conscience awakened wars would be-
come more remote. The amendment,
therefore, was a long step in the di-
rection of peace.

it was eloquent and aroused much
enthusiasm among the delegates.
Baron d 'Estournelies de Constant,
head of the French delegation, SUBJ
sequently opened the debate on the
limitation of military and naval
forces, asserting that If the Powers
were undecided among themselves
how to act for their common inter-
ests they would be forced to do so,
first by bankruptcy and then by rev.
olution. The Baron said that limita-
ton of ornaments had no connection
with the chimera of disarmament.
The arguments against disarmament
were based on the augmented expen-
diture of the Powers. The augmen-
tations in the United States were due
to the unfortunate example of Eu-
rope, but in proportion to the popu-
lation the American forces had not
been increased unreasonably and the
expenditure had been augmented
proportionately, the ornaments prov
ing the inaptitude of the Americans
to transform themselves into ma
ton of soldiers.
Germany, continued Baron d'Es-
tournelles do Constant, commits the
grave fault of struggling with the
United States for naval pre-emin-
ence and thus divides her energies,
both on land and sea, uselessly, for
the American States were united and
inaccessible, while the States of Eu-
rope were divided and will always be
menaced by the possibility of a coali-
ton against them
A resolution was agreed to in prin-
ciple urging that the question of dis
armament be placed on the program
OF the next peace conference at The
Hague

trio Of robbers, or fYeggmen," as
they are known to the Massachusetts
police, who, in broad daylight, held
up, robbed and shot Hickey in his
Office at Charlestown and engaged
in street battle with the police, in
which Shield was manned by bullets
fred by the desperadoes.
So bold q crime has not occurred
IN Boston for years, and the police
directed every effort to the capture
OF the third of the criminals, the
other two having been arrested as
the climax of the struggle with the
authorities. Hickey was robbed of
5000 in cash and valuable papers,
and money which is said to have
been a part of this was found upon
the two men taken into custody, who
are George W. Eyerson, twenty
seven years of age, of New York
City, and Fred Sacchetti, thirty years
of age, of Bridgeport. Conn. The po-
lice have good description OF the
missing robber
Hickey was alone in the office of
his coal wharf, at No. 125 Cambridge
street, bending over his desk writing
when three men entered the place.

man was covered by a revolver by
one of the men thought to be Ever
son, who said: I'VE want your money
and we want it quick! Now, don't
give us any bother'
At this moment the other two
strangers caught the merchant from
behind. Hickey swung around and
managed to give one of the men a
blow which knocked him to the floor.
The man in front fired, and blood be-
gan to run from Hickay's head, but
although bullet had punctured his
left ear and the back of his neck
Hickey continued to fight until the
man in front, having pocketed his re-
volver, helped his companions to
overpower the merchant. The men
went through Hickey's pockets and
got all of his cash. The small crowd
which had assembled at the sound of
the revolver shot, scattered quickly
at the sight of Everson's revolver,
which the man fiourished as the trio
pushed their way down the street
Patrolmen Brady and Crowley APP
peared and took UP the pursuit The
increasing crowd skunk back against
the buildings and into side streets as

men again turned and fired repeated

shooting, but all bullets went wild

transported to the relief hospital, to

men might formally identity their as
