tries have adopted hts ideas, and for
the first time in history have embodied
the doctrine of compulsory arbitration
in treaty. The arrangement is to
continue for ten years. or until the five
republics shall reunite into Il single
federation.
This Central American court of JUS
tice" may be described as the national
conscience. The five countries. by arti-
Gle Of the treaty, bind themselves to
submit for its adjudication all con-
troversies and questions which may
arise among them, of whatsoever ma
ture, and no matter what their origin
may be, in case the respective depart

have been able to reach an understand

Article III says: This court shall also
take cognizance of the questions which
individuals of one Central american
country may raise against any of the
other contracting governments, because
of the violations of treaties or conven-
tons. and other cases of an Information
al character, no matter whether his
own government supports said claim or
not; provided that the remedies which
the laws of the respective country pro-
vide against such violation shall have
been exhausted and that a denial Of
justice shall be shown.
1T shall also take cognizance of the
cases which by common accord con-
tracing governments may submit to
it, no matter whether they arise be-
tween two or more of them or between
one of said governments and individ-

The court can likewise take cogni

which by special agreement any one
of the Central American governments
and foreign government may have
determined to submit to it.

HOT LEAD POURED INTO EAR.
Believed Man Did Deed Himself
While Suffering.

M1DDLETOWN, n. Y, December 81
James H. Conkling. a prominent bust
ness man, is in the Thrall Hospital un-
conscious as the result of molten lead
being poured into one of his ears.
There is theory here that tonkling
committed the deed himself while men,
tally unbalanced. He has been in poor
health for some time and disappeared
a few days ago. One of his sons found
him unconscious on the floor of his
place of business in Depot street.
A physician found Conklings right
ear was filled with hardened lead. He
was removed to the Thrall Hospital.
where surgeons found that the ear
drum had been burned out.
The hot lead had filled the channel.
and flowing into the cavity under the
brain had spread out. The lead was
drilled out of the channel and two
holes were drilled into the mass of
lead in the cavity. During the opera
ton Mr.. Conkling remained uncon-
scious.
1t is thought here that. while melan-
choly a result of his mental trouble,
Conkling entered his place of business
and. heating up a pot of solder, laid
his head upon the side of the work
table and poured the metal into his ear.

GOAT ATE CHRISTMAS TREE.
Devoured Candies, Tinsel, Beads and
Other Trimmings.

BALTIMORE. December 27-There
was no Christmas cheer for Bonita, the
newly christened baby leopard at the
North avenue zoo. Oscar Dane, the
zoos press agent, says Bonita has spent
the day in tears.
The little leopard was named after
the star of the Wine, Woman and
Song company. and Miss Bonita pre-
scented it with little Christmas tree.
Yesterday afternoon the actress, Mr..
Dane and Col. Mundy decorated the
tree with tinsel and candies. the pur-
pose being to delight the hearts of the
little leopard and her little lion and
puppy companions.
There is a voracious Harlem goat at
the zoo. He does a stunt with the
"Noah's Ark" animals. Wednesday
night during the wee sma' hours the
goat got busy with the tree. and ate
1t alive candles. tinsel. beads candy
and ALL The little entertainment which
had been planned for noon yesterday
consequently was called off. Mr.. Dane
says he is inconsolable so is Col
Mundy. So is Miss Bonita. Little Bo-
nita's tears attest her woe. But the
goat has neither indigestion nor in
growing conscience.

but this makes a uniform arrangement
acceptable to them. all based upon the
same terms as the extradition treaty
now existing between Mexico and the
United States.
During his recent tour around the Goa st
of South America Secretary Root made
several speeches. and particularly one in
Peru, in which he declared that arbitration
as a method of settling certain kinds OF
disputes was ineffective, and that the time
had come when new and more salts
factory form of procedure must be
adopted.
Futility of Arbitrations.
He declared that arbitrations were sell
dom conducted on judicial basis; that
the questions referred to arbitration were
usually determined on the line of least
resistance: that the representative of each
of the disputants upon the tribunal
usually acted as an attorney and advo-
cate. rather than as a judge, and inva-
riably voted in favor of his own client.
If he did not do SO he was denounced
as disloyal to the interests he was Sc
lected to serve. The only impartial tri-
bunal, he argued, was one that should be
permanent and whose members would not
be subject to the influence of the appoint
ing power. He elaborated this idea in his
instructions to The United States dele
gates TO the TeCeHl Hague conference anu
directed them to do everything in their
power to secure a permanent court of in
ternational justice, the members of which
should be judges in fact and not advo-
Gates.
Such a scheme was drawn and submit
ted at The Hague, but not adopted be-
cause there were too many conflicting in
terests: too many complications arose +;
every nation wanted to have q represent
alive on the court, and no distinction
was made between the small and the
great nations. His plan was based upon
the theory that people and nations with
grievances and controversies would go to
the tribunal to settle their quarrels vol
unfairly and without conjunction.
1t was a great disappointment to many
of the advocates of peace when this plan
failed of adoption at The Hague. 1t was
confidently believed that the civilization
of the twentieth century would approve
and that the great powers would accept
such solution of the controversies which
are continually arising between them. but
It remains for the republics of Central
America to take the lead in that drec-
ton and to establish a precedent far in
advance of any plan that has yet been
adopted hitherto by other nations.
An International Court.
They agree to submit every dispute
that may arise between them to a per-
manent court of justice similar to that
proposed by Secretary Root. The dele
gates from the Central American coun-

HENDERSON-OUACHITA
 FOOTBALL GAME

Philadelphia, Ark, Oct. 3l.--lSpe- cial. .)-After long and serious think
 ing, the presidents of Henderson and Ouachita Colleges have decided to let the two football teams come together in what is known by the Arkadel- phia citizens as the first Punic war" Both teams played gallantly and every fellow was strictly in the game, but somehow Dame Fortune smiled upon the boys in gray and at the end of eighty (S0) minutes, when the dust had settled. the wind had ceased blow ing and the nightingales had begun their melodious songs in the distant treetops Ouachita found that her name was Maud. for by brilliant kick Henderson came out with a score of twenty-two to six (22-6). Hen derson has only A. M. A., the invinc- ible Armada, to beat and then she will have the state championship and by unanimous vote the team has de- cided that Carthage must be destroy ed,' so look out for Thanksgiving day.

NEW STAMPED
 ENVELOPE ORDER
Postmaster Furth Has Received New Instructions Relative to the Sale Of Stamped Envelopes in
 Large Lots.

Postmaster Furth has been notified of a. change in the ruling as to pay ing money in advance for stamped en- velopes. Accordingto the old rule, the entire amount had to be advanced before the government would begin the printing and stamping of envel- ones. but under the new rule only the amount necessary to cover the cost of the plain envelope is demanded. This rule was adopted because the government was so far behind in it's orders that many patrons would be knocked out of the use Of several nun dred dollars for from month to three months, without interest either to the government or the patron. Un- der the old rule patron ordering lo,- 900 envelopes would have to deposit $214.4O, and remain out of the use or it from a month to three months. NOW a patron making a similar order will have to advance only $14.4O, which is supposed to cover the cost of the plain envelopes. When the order IS received the remainder must be paid

All checks issued by depositors for any amounts and deposited in other banks will be paid promptly through the Clearing House This method of handling the citys business will en-
 able the banks to make available their balances in reserve cities.
 As this plan has given general sat isfaction in the larger cities, it is hoped our people will cheerfully CO., operate with the banks in maintain ing business in our midst.
 The Clearing .House Association is prepared to take all needful steps to fully protect the depositors, business interests, and the banks, and the sev- enclearing house banks are pledged to maintain the banking interests of our city. Conditions in New York are improving daily and we think matters will be normal in a few days.

SEND MONEY ID
 SAINT LOUIS Local Bankers and Com mercial Organization Urge Cortelyou to Make Deposits There.
TO RELIEVE SOUTH
Rev to the Situation-lmmediate Fi. nancial Relief Could Be Secured in That Way-Others Adopting Same Methods.

Believing St. Louis to be the most convenient and desirable point for ihe United States Government to send funds to at this time to relieve the present "tight money" conditions that exist throughout the country, and es- pecially the Southwest, all the bank CTS and commercial bodies of Arkan- sas and adjoining states are today urging Secretary Cortelyou to send additional Government deposits to the St. Louis banks.
 After discussing the matter at length yesterday all the local bank CTS and officials of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade requested President w. N. Trulock of the Board of Trade to send the following message to MT. Cortelyou and the message was sent immediately:
 Honorable George B. Cortelyou, Sec
 retary Treasury, Washington, D. C.
 Action taken by New York banks, stopping currency shipments, has practically stopped cotton movement in the South, St Louis alone can help us and for this purpose urgent ly request that St. Louis banks be giv- en additional Government deposits PINE BLUFF BOARD OF TRADE, By W. N. Trulock. President.
 r. fol hot thousand telegrams of this nature have been forwarded to Secretary Cortelyou from cities in the South and especially in the Southwest. which is liberally dealt with at all times by St. Louis banks.
 While the situation yesterday and today shows marked improvement, the South is still in critical financial condition owing to the inability of the banks to secure recognition, financial ly, from the Eastern banking institu- tions. If this state of affairs con- tinues the merchants in the South will suffer losses The action of the banks throughout the South in ap- proved by business men and other depositors, but continuation of the present troubles would doubtless prove annoying and troublesome to bankers and business men as well.
 St. Louis is the banking center of the Southwest and the situation could be easily relieved if the Govern ment sends several million dollars to St. Louis banks These banks, it is figured, would immediately come to the aid of the Southwest and the if nancal puzzle would be solved. If the Southwest suffers St. Louis suf- fers. This is fully realized by St. Louis financiers and it is understood that they are making strenuous efforts to get financial aid for the Southwest and have been since the financial tlurries' in the East commenced.
 Tt is the only key to the situation" :" said J. E. Royce, conservative Pine Bluff banker, today. MT. Boyce said the matter has been gone into thor oughly by the Pine Bluff Clearing House, of which he is president, and that the universal opinion is that St. Louis can immediately bring relief, if Secretary Cortelyou sees fit to send large Government deposits there.
