 Discussed.

It was further re- quested that each manager should send In to the board corrections and additions to the accredited list already published, especially in regard to the names of men in the Immediately lo- cality.

PEACE CONGRESS ENDED
Expression of Cordial Relations Be-
 tween Germany and America.

Munich, Sept. 15.-The sixteenth in ternational peace congress. which had been in session since September end- ed last night and the delegates left the city to-day. The general opinion is that the congress has been a most successful one. Emperor Williams telegram expressing his thanks for the greetings sent to him by the congress created an excellent impression.
 The dissensions which arose con crning anti-militarism fin some of the European countries were productive of spirited debate which, however, al- ways was good humored. The congress urged the Hague peace conference to provid for an international court of justice for general treaty making ar bitration obligatory and for a periodic conference between the powers.
 At the banquet last night which brought the congress to close Dr. B. F. Trueblood of Boston, during a toast to Germany, said the American people with few exceptions, strongly desire most cordial relations between Germany and the United States and that war between them would be the greatest possible calamity to civiliza- ton. This sentiment was vigorously applauded.

 been great since President Fallieries showed clemency to Soleillant. They assembled this afternoon with their husbands and others of their sympathi- gers and were augmented in numbers by crowds of curious persons Their orderly cries for justice were quickly changed to cries of Death to soleil- lant'' and down with Fallieries" as the procession, led by woman who carried little girl on her shoulders with the purpose of indicating the ob- Ject of the manifestation, moved tow ard the Place de la Republique. Soon the streets were choked by vast mob, and the police reserves were called out to disperse 1t. The parade, however. assembled again and several of the more violent demonstrants were arrest. ed.
 Meantime other parades had been organized in different quarters of the city, one in the Place Vendome at the ministry of justice. This also was led by woman with babe on her shoul- ders. The crowd shouted 'Death to violators. At night fall this parade was dispersed by the police who fear ed that with darkness disorder would break out. Smaller processions tray ersed the grand boulevards of the city,
 The newspapers of Paris are de- voting great space to the Soleillant case. Many of them loudly condemn the failure of President Fallleries to permit the law to take it's course and all of them agree that the commuta- tion of this sentence signifies the pass ing forever of the guf1lotine from France Some of the journals express the opinion that the escape of Soleil- lant from the guillotlne only places a premium on crime. The entire ques- tion of crime will be taken up at the approaching session of parliament, es- pecially as Paris and other large cities are becoming alarmingly infested with another type of criminal, known as ''the apache" who in the secluded sections almost daily maim and roh and some times murder their victims Their weapon always in the knife and gathering in bands, they often wanton. ly stab pedestrians and frequently po- licemen, merely for the sake of stab bing.
 M. Touny, director of the Paris po- lice, declared to-day that his force was entirely inefficient to cope with the situation. He recommended the adop- ton of corporal punishment for law breakers as an offset to comfortable and inviting prisons.

HITS PUBLIC OPINION BILL SENATORLODGESPFAKs Says It Would Undermine Principles of Government
 System.

Boston, Sept. 15.-senator Henry Ca- bot Lodge delivered an address before the Central Labor union of Boston to- night upon "The public opinion bill which was defeated by the house in the last Massachusetts legislature"
 Senator Lodge explained that he gave the address because he did not think the gravity of the measure and its far reaching effect was fully ap- preciated by the people generally.
 The public opinion bill provided that on request of 1000 voters for the sub- mission of any question for an express sion of opinion the state ballot law commission should frame the question and upon 5000 voters signing applica- tions, the question should be placed upon the ballot at election.
 Senator Lodge said fin part:
 'The bill would mean nothing less that a complete revolution in the fab TIC of our government and would un- dermine and ultimately break down the representative principles in our roli- ilcal and governmental system. It found its origin, think among those small groups whose avowed purpose Is to destroy our present institutions and forms of government and replace them with socialism or anarchy.
 Those who supported the bill ap- peared to be under the pleasing de- fusion that no questions would find their way on to the ballot except those which made for the obvious improve ment of society. The adroit and un- scrupulous, with schemes for their own profit, or with devices to injure their opponents, would be much more likely to get questions placed upon the bal lot than any one else.
 T have seen 1t asserted that this system would break the power of the boss and the lobbyist. On the con- trary, it would give to those who make business of politics and who seek legislation for their own profit an un- rivaled opportunity, for they would be always prepared, they would have their 5000 signatures always ready, they would shut out by dummy ques- tions all questions they did not like and place upon the ballot artfully drawn questions to serve their own purposes"
