900 to Stockholders.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Charges of con-
splracy against J. Pierpont Morgan, IA
volving a loss OF 100000, were heard
today before Irwin Belford, as special
master.
Wall Street heard with astonIshmcnt
of the allegations connecting Morgan
with the conspiracy charge. So quietly
had the investigators gone TO work that
little or nothing was done in the mat
ter until Mr.. Belford set to work to-
day.
Efforts were put forth to stay pro-
ceedings until Morgan returns from
abroad, but Mr.. BeIford declined 20 ac-
cede to any such proposition by order
of the circuit court of Ohio.
The order for the reference was made
by Judge Robert W. Taylor. of Cleve-
land, Ohio. Mr.. Belford Is clerk Of
the district court.
The charge against Morgan is brought
by the Ohio Savings Bank and Trust
Company. of Toledo. Ohio. 1t is al
legged that Morgan. with stockholders
and bondholders Of the Toledo Railways
and Terminal Company, conspired to
sell out the property under foreclosure
proceedings to the detriment Of the
general creditors.

NEW PROPOSALS
KEEP THE HAGUE
BUSILY ENGAGED
Conference of Peace
makers Expected to
Close on July 20.

THE HAGUE, July 9-A score Of new
proposals, introduced at yesterdays ses-
sion. is occupying the peace conference
today. From now on until the end OF
the session, which VIII likely be July
20. the conference will be buslIy en-
gagged in acting on the propositions sub
mitted. Many OF them can be grouped
and thus considerable time will be saved.
The conference is still acting IN a slow.
measured, and dignified manner. which
has characterized It from the beginning.
Prince Chi. head of the Korean depu-
tation, which was refused reorganization
by the conference last night. addressed
the international Peace Club. at which
W. 7. Stead presided. The prince de-
nounced the outrages which, he said.
were practised by the japanese in the
occupation of Korea. The club voted a
resolution Of profound sympathy.
The Koreans have been advised by
different delegates to the conference to
not seek aid from the United States at
this time as such action would only
infame the present strained relations
between America and Japan and would
mitigate against the cause Of justice and
peace. The Koreans decided that the
lime ID seek sympathy IN the United
States was not propitious.
W. T. Stead, American, arraigned the
Koreans in a sarcastic manner. He
said:
THE Koreans were guilty of one crime
for which there is no forgiveness in this
world They were weak. They were
meek. It is not fitting that such a male
factor should occupy a place among
the independent sovereign states of the
world, and it was. therefore, shut out
Of the conference"
The American proposition for a per-
manent court OF arbitration at The
Hague, along the lines Of the Supreme
Court OF the United States, and for 4he
immunity of private property on the
sea during war time, are the principal
subjects Of discussion these days. Dele
gates are still manifesting the keenest
interest in the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS cues

the Atlantic feet to the Pacific coast

DESTROYERS
NOW ADDED
TO ROSTER
Sincerity of u S. Is Being Questioned
By Diplomat From Country
Friendly to RuSSia.

Two important decisions have
been reached by the Navy Depart
ment concerning the announced
program for the despatch of the
Atlantic feet to the Pacific:
First, only the newest and most
modern ships will be sent; and,
Second, the average age of cap
tains of the ships viii be reduced
from three 10 five years.
These two points are accepted in
official circles as most important
and significant. They mean that
when the feet starts out on its re-
markable voyage il will be the most
modern and most formidable feet
of warships for its size sailing to-
gether in any waters of the globe.
There will be no hulks in this feet,
there will be no grizzIed captains
standing on the bridges. Only first
class wardogs win plow through the
waters, and the youngest men OBJ
tainable, so far as the ages of cap
tains go, viii be placed in command.
Room for Promotions.
Already steps are under way to re-
duce gradually the ages of the captains
This is a natural result OF the work
Of the naval retirement board CT rear
admirals, of which Rear Admiral Evans
is president BY this board, twenty
four vacancies IN the grades Of captain
down to lieutenant were created, and
by wedding out the deadwood,' - it made
room for promotions. Captains OF sew
eral battleships accordingly were at
fected. AS tho present captains are re-
tired or assigned to other duty, cap
tains few years younger in each in
stance are being assigned TO the COM
mand. Several such changes already
have been made and more are being
contemplated BY this policy, the av-
erage age of the captains of the feet
may be reduced to q level with the
average of the feet captains of Great
Britain. Germany, France. and Japan.
Careful Selection of Ships.
The ships to take the journey VIII
be selected as carefully as the captains.
although the choice is confined to small
er numbers OF course. This plan eIimi-
mates the class over which there has
been so much controversy lataly-the
Indiana, Iowa, and Ohio. Accordingly.
when Admiral Evans starts on his jour
ney around South America. he will be
in command of fifteen battleships. all
but six of which have been in commits
sion less than a year. Most OF these
are of the l6.0eO-ton class, with speed
exceeding nineteen knots in almost
every case.
Torpedo Boat Destroyers.
Aside from the two new monster cruis-
ers, Tennessee and Washington, it is
now planned TO send fotilla Of six
