The sleepy-eyed trainers out ON the

start early today as they beheld a
familiar figure hop into the saddle OF
one OF John r. Madden's two-year-oIds.
This was none other than Tod Sloan
The worlds greatest race rider after
running the fun gamut OF the most
wonderful sporting romance known TO
modern life, was back at the post from

Loss of His License.
Then. like a bolt from the blue, came
a notice To Sloan TO refrain from apply
ing for a riding license. Lord Durham.
the executive steward OF the English
Jockey club. declared he delivered II
with supreme satisfaction" From that
day TO this Sloan's night for redress and
reinstatement has interested the whole
sporting and racing world in America
and abroad. Durham gave no specific
reason Tor warning away" Sloan In
the interim, the Jockey Club of this
country has obsequiesly kept Sloan on
the ground because Lord Durham has
not as yet whitewashed him.
Within the last two years the mean
ness and smallpiece spirit of British
sporting life when a superior American
athlete is concerned. has been pretty
well established. No American can
compete in the Sheffield Handicap. the
Diamond Souls. or accept service in the
saddle at Newmarket Heath without
undergoing the most humiliating quail
flying conditions. One tiue last sum

license in this country, but James r.
Keene suggested the ACCESSIBILITY Of

the Jockey Club. tired of Durham's in

To bring back Sloan at any ha-1rd.

ARGUES FOR HEGEMAN.
". j. O'Brien Recalls Indicted Mdn s
Long Career.

Arguments on the motion 10 dismiss the seven
indictments for perjury and three for forgery
against John r. HeCeman. president OF the
metropolitan Life Insurance Company, were
heard before Justice Bowling in the criminal
branch Of the Supreme Court yesterday. Mr..
Hcgcmen was represented by ex-Justice Nor
gan J. O'Rrien and John G. Mllburn. while As
s'stant District Attorney Krescl appeared for
the prosecution.
The forgery indictments grew out OF the
methods said to be practised by the MetropolI-
tan Life in transferring at the end of the year
certain assets collateral loans and syndicate
participations and rotransferrng them 10 the
insurance company on January after the MAX
ing out Of the annual report.
Mr.. OBrien said that the indictments were
groundless. Here is a man in the community"
he said. who has spent long life OF useful
ness as the executive head OF the largest com
pany OF its kind in the world. He had believed
that he had achieved the respect and was worthy
of the trust Of all men. And now after thirty
eighty years ne finds himself under Indictment
on serious charges. any one OF which proved
true would not only bring him the penalty pro-
vidcd by law hut would remove him from the
sphere of usefulness and lose him the regard
Of his friends"
Mr. OBren contended that there was no sug-
gestion that any loss had been sustained by
the company by transferring certain assets at
the end OF the year that the defendant or
any else had proNted by the transfer. Even
If the entries were false. as charged by the
Indictment. there was no evidence to prove that
they were made by the defendant or at his
direction.
Moreover. he CoAtcnGed that the entries We're
neither misleading nor false. but that the trans
action was en- actual and that an actual
sale was made. What the company did was
legal said cx-Juetlce O'Rrien land its officers
had q perfect right to do rs they did. There
is no charge of cmhczzlement or of loss to
the COMPANY. As q matter OF fact the trans
action profitable to the company.
There was no law against the company max
ing these investments, and II made no difference
to the Insurance Department whether the in
surance company showed the Investments
the cash upon its books. The only part that
the defendant had in the matter TO direct
that the necessary entries should he made 10
show these transactions. They were made by
the clerical force"
The District Attorney will have until Octo-
Der 30 to answer the argument and counsel for
the defendant will have two days more To re-
ply Justice Bowling said that since the Per-
kins case involved some Of the points he

RESULTS AT THE HAGUE

E1press Qualification.
From The Tribune Bureau l


Washington. Oct. 21-'The second Hague con-
ference accomplished more than I had any rea-
son to expect. am much gratifled with it's re-
suits" said the Secretary of State to-day. Mr..
Root declared that the agreement in principle
on permanent international court, the agree
ment to refrain from resorting TO force to COL
lect international debts and leaving to the dis
erection of the arbitrators the determination OF
the time and manner of payment, and the agree
Inent on an international prize court constitute
important achievements, indicating the progress
Of the sentiment against war He paid high
tribute to the work of the American delegation.
and especially commended DR.. Scott, the So
Hector for the Department of State, compliment
ing him on his energy, ability and tact.
John w. Foster, ex- Secretary OF State, who at
tended the Hague conference as member of
the Chinese delegation. summed up the work
OF the conference to-day as follows:
War has been made harder to start by the
peace conference at The Hague, but none eX-
cept Missionaries expect that those conferences
will abolish warfare. This movement must ad-
vance step by step, and public opinion ana tne
opinions of governments must he educated. we
are going ahead constantly, and the regulations
which the conference have put upon warfare
make II more difficult year after year.
BY the conference just adjourned the prlnCl-
pie has been adopted that debts owing to Euro
pean powers by nations in this hemisphere must
not be collected by force. This Is In accord
with the SO-Called DraSO Doctrine, pCI -
not the whole of the doctrine. This IS an Inn
portant ruling for the people of the Americas
In the matter of the prevention of war through
misunderstanding a preteXt for aggran-
dizement the scope of commissions TO inquire
into differences between nations on the verge or
hosttlities has been increased. 1t is true that
the principle Of compulsory arbitration has not
been established. The conference has failed In
that regard and the earnest advocates Of the
measure are disappointed but as another con-
ference has been agreed upon there is hope that
success in this endeavOr will be attained later
The creation of an international prize court is
something entirely new, and in connection with
this the rights of neutrals have been more COM
pletey safeguarded.
No one can rightly call these conferences fu-
ne Tor they are moulding opinion against war
fare and are accomplishing many reforms d.
rectiy. With the numerous clashing interests
represented, ii is difficult to attain any goal at
once. Progress must be gradual, and II will he

of modifying the horrors Of war when 1t does
