GROVER CLEVELAND
PAYS TRIBUTE TO LATE
FINANCIER AND FRIEND
By Associated Press.

PRINCETON, N. j., April 14.-For-
mer President Cleveland was deeply
touched when he learned of the death
of Mr.. Eckels. He said:
81 was closely related to Mr.. Eckels
and his death comes to me with a pc
culiar shock. In important public work
learned to know him intelligent and
industrious. In personal friendship 1
learned to know his rare and attract
I've qualities of heart. This incident
gave personal touch with my deceased
friend and caused me to mourn his
death as great personal sorrow
Mr.. Eckels illustrated the traits that
make the best citizenship. Deeply in
terested in. every question connected
with the public welfare, he studied
them with soberness to the end that
he might increase his usefulness. He
was public-spirited man who saw
duty all about him and whose influence
was impressed on all his surroundings
for good. There was nothing frivolous
about Mr.. Eckels. In every relation of
life, as citizen and a business man
and as a friend, he was earnest and
whole-hearted.
Neither the immediate community in
which he dwelt nor the country at
large can we'll afford to lose a man like

PEACE CONGRESS
PRELUDE HELD
CARNEGIE, CAUGHT IN JAM,
DOES NOT PRESIDE
Speakers Predict Universal Harmony
Is Sure of Contamination at
Opening Session Held
In New York
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, April 14-A choral SER
vice, q fitting prelude to the first ma
tional arbitration and peace congress,
which is to be opened tomorrow, was
held at Carnegie hall tonight. Probably
5000 persons found admittance while
thousands were unable to get within the
hall.
Andrew Carnegie was to have pre-
sided at the meeting, but returning from
Plttsburg on a delayed train he failed
TO reach the hall until the meeting was
we'll under way, and when once inside
the place he was unable to make his
way through the throng to the plat
form. In his absence Henry Potter
presided.
1t had been expected that a peace
message from President Roosevelt
would be read, but no mention of the
message was made.
Archbishop Farley, who was to have
been one of the speakers, was detained
in Washington, and his prepared ad-
dress was read by Monsegneur ]. M.
Laitelle of st. Patricks cathedral.
The other speakers we're Rabbi Emil
G. Hirsch of Chicago and Bishop Pot
ter.
DR.. Hirsch, speaking on 1.-THE Advent
of the Plow," said:
INTENSITY the productive methods
which coax rom earth the blessings
stored therein, and hunger's dominion
correspondingly shrinks. None need
starve If all work together to prevent
famines capricious and iniquitous in
trusion.
1--WE hail the advent of the plow. 1t
is the sign of triumphant democracy.
With cooperation as with the polar
star, friction will be minimized.
IF the courts are competent to main
tain the social equilibrium between diff
ferent contestants and litigants in one
country shall we de;pair of inter-
national tribunals efficiency in making
for equilibrium among the nations? If
all nations were united would one sim
gle nation dare reject the decree?
Let nations dream of peace and
peace will be sure of consummation.
The hands that guide the plow carry
credentials of nobility and strength less
doubtful than do the fingers which pull
the trigger"
In concluding, Bishop Potter said:
LET us thank God for The Hague
congress and that Americans are
Fastening the triumph of universal
peace
Archbishop Farley, writing on uni
versal Peace" said he was not pre-
pared to say that war should ever be
removed from society but that much
might be done to mitigate it's horrors
and lessen it's frequency. Efforts for
universal peace, he declared would ac-
complish only imperfect results until
the moral over and authority of or
ganized religion were openly recognized.
The archbishop said no horror moral
or material, was lacking in war, and
added:
"Its benefits, If any, are indirect and
uncertain; it's evils are immediate and
inevitable and universal vitiation of
human character, waste of life, and
again arrest of human progress, injus-
tice to the helpless and innocent, popu-
lar and permanent legacies of hate and
all the fiercest and most ruinous pas
sions of the human breast"
Tomorrow at o'clock the first delib-
erative session of the peace congress
proper will be held.
