In the Swim.

Because she would a-swimming go
She bought bathing suit
OF brilliant blue, with row on row
OF braid on it to boot.
A little scarlet rubber cap,
With shoes and stockings trim
Why just to gaze at them a chap
Could feel his head a-swim.
She donncd the dashnE bathing rig
And stood before the glass,
As cute and taut and trim and trig
AS you will chance to pass
Her eyes Were bright her checks were
pink,
Her fluffy hair in curl
And spelled marcel in every kink-
This dashing bathing girl.
She sauntcrcd out upon the sand
And dallicd in the sun,
Where up and down on every hand
The waving ripplcs run.
She watched the swimmers come and go
In playful, merry race,
But still the maiden fingered so
With trouble in her face.
"Comc in, come in" they called TO her
Come in, the waters fine.
Don't let a doubt of that deter
You from it, Mabel mine
Why do you pause and hesitate,
Why do you sit and frct?"

Chicago, April IA dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington SAYS:
President Roosevelt proposes to take
into his own hands the determination
as to whether an attempt shall be
made to break up the Hartman rail-
road combination, or not, and has
conc to the conclusion that it is his
duty to study the case from beginning
to end.
The president has been placed in a
position of antagonism to Hartman,
and on that account he is particularly
desirous that no step should be taken
by any department OF the government
in such way as to leave the impress
sion that it was the result OF personal
hostility on the part OF the president
himself. To satisfy himself as to the
exact situation, the president proposes
to read all the testimony taken by the
Interstate commerce commission on
this subject. Then he will have a con-
ference with the Attorney General
Bonaparte and will ask the head OF the
department of justice to apply to the
facts the president submits to him, the
general law in the case, and particu-
larly that laid down by the United
States supreme court in the Northern
securities case.

Chicago, April 17.-After less than
three months trial the railroads are

the American Railway Clearing house,
which was established to facilitate the
movement and distribution of freight
cars and to prevent further car short
age and freight congestions. A meet

called for next Monday to determine
what shall be done with the organi-
-zation which was launched with great
hope of results, and which some roads
now declare to be a failure. The

Is said to be caused by the detection

The clearing house was established
late in January by Arthur Hale, who
was taken from a high position on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, ard Civ

were secured in the Grand Central
station, and now more than eighty peo-

New York, April III. Pierpont
Morgan today reached the age OF three
score and ten. and rounded out q half
century in the banking business.
During the past three years Mr.. Nor

more he recognizes, that he has
reached the time in life when he must
round out his business affairs and put
ts,em in such condition that his large
interests would not suffer were he
suddenly to die. To this end he has
been gradually turning over the cares
os business to his son and his part

New York, April 1.-THE national

sion this afternoon. and will close to-
night with a banquet at which Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Earl Grey, gov
ernor general of Canada, will be the
principal speakers. At the meeting
this afternoon the great objects of the
congress will be fully considered.
Addresses will be made by William
Jennings Bryan, Justice Brewer. Sena-
tors Lodge and Bacon, and Represen-
tatives Barthold of Missouri, Williams
of Mississippi and Burton of Ohio. Ex-
Mayor Low is the presiding officer.
All of the speeches will deal with the
legislative and judicial aspects of the
peace movement, Mr.. Bryan consider
ing the subject of the investigation of
all questions prior to the beginning
of hostilities.
subject Of consideration is report
on the plan of universal arbitration,
drafted by the Interparliamentary
union, of which Representative Rich
ard Bartholdt of Missouri is the
American president. This report,
which will be presented to the second
Hague conference next June. will first
be discussed in all it's phases at to-
days session of the congress. The
plan provides for permanent delib-
erative body. representing all nations,
to formulate the best statutes of all
countries into rules of international
law. The treaty of arbitration is to
empower. The Hague tribunal to de-
eide when these statutes have been
violated.
In submitting this report, Represen-
tative Bartholdt said
due consideration was given to the
indisposition of the great powers of
Europe to agree to the arbitration OF
all questions in dispute, in the
preparation of the general treaty of
arbitration. We also considered the
best means of avoiding the obstacles
which nullified the nine treaties nego-
tiated by Secretary Hay. and which
failed to become operative, though
ratified almost unanimously by the
senate. on account of the provision
requiring the signing of subsequent
treaty for each particular question.
In preparing the treaty. l suggest
ed clear definition of the classes of
controversies included in the treaty
and automatic action in such cases
by the Hague court, and to make unity
of action possible between advanced
and backward nations, proposed per-
mitting each nation to designate the
area in which it would submit its ac-
ton to the court. The members of
the parliaments of European nations
were somewhat surprised at the first
consideration of our proposition, and
this was to be expected, because we
in America are simply the Europeans
who wish most to push forward. 1t
required only the three days of our
session to win over the entire con-
ference solidly in favor of the princi-
pies set forth by u.s.

will be hangman's day in Missouri, if
the orders of the state supreme court
are carried out. Six men convicted
of murder are under sentence to ex-
plate their crimes on the gallows to-

This was when he began to reorganize
railroads and finance some of the
greatest industrial combinations that
the world has ever known.
In American financial history Mr..
Morgan will be chiefly remembered
for the part he Aook in floating the
United States Steel corporation. This
concern represents a capital Of 81, ,100-
900 and Is the, largest financial con-
cern in existence. For many years
prior to that achievement Mr.. Morgan
had been an important figure in the
steel business, even If Mr.. Carnegie's
prime position in that field had served
to obscure his rivals prominence To
Mr.. Morgan is due the greatest share
of credit for bringing about the big
combination. Since the violent de-
cline In the securities of the steel
trust four years ago and the storm
of criticism that broke forth from the
thousands of inventors. it has been
Mr.. Morgan's chief ambition, so it Is
said. to see the steel securities in
such position in the market that his
bitter critics must concede that he
built the great trust on substantial
foundation.
