Second Hague Congress to be
Held in June Will Have
Little Result.
SMALL LIKELIHOOD OF
AGREEMENT BEING REACHED
Prof. Martens Discussed Subject in
Berlin on Thursday With Ambassa.
dor Tower-Date Of Congress is Not
Definitely Determined But June Is
Most Seasonable Month.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, Jan. 26.-It is under
stood that while Prof. Martens, in the
course of his talk Thursday with Am
bassador Tower in Berlin, regarding
the reassembling of the Hague con-
gress, did not in behalf of the Rus
sian government name any special
date for the meeting, but it did de-
velop as result of the conversation
that the month of June would be
probably agreeable to most of the pow
ers that expect to participate in the
congress. Seasonably, it is believed
to be the best possible month.
1T is stated that so far as a pro-
gram is concerned, negotiations which
have been in progress for the past six
months or more have made it clear
that it is fruitless to expect any uni
versal agreement upon the conclusion
of other subjects than those mentioned
in the original Russian note of 1906,
containing proposal for second
congress.

carried down an extension ladder from
the fifth floor, reported that as he
CROPPED his way to the window he
stumbled over several PROSTATE forms.
The mill building seer2sd doomed at
$3.50 this morning, but the firemen
were confident of preventing spread
of the flames to adjoining structures.
Two of the men who jumped from
the fourth floor were taken to the
hospital seriously hurt and dozens of
others were treated for hurts of less
serious nature. The most badly hurt
were William Turner, mule spinner,
broken hip, James Ashton. mule
spinner, both legs broken.
The fire started from a hot box in
the spool room, and before the fright

to extinguish it, the flames spread to
the spinning room and swept through
the big mill. There were no fire es-
capes in the place and the panic
stricken employees made a wild rush
for the exits. The report of loss of
life had not been verified by the police
at $3.50 a. nj. but there were rumors
that several of the operators were
missing.
