The Hague.-The fourth committee,
Geneva convention, met June 25th in
the Hall of Knights behind closed
doors General Horace Porter, l.. M.
Rose, David ]. Hill, Brigadier Gen
erai George B. Davis, U. S. A, Rear
Admiral Charles S. Sperry, William l.
Buchanan, and James Brown Scott
were present.
The president of the fourth commit
tee, Professor De Martens, summarized
the work accomplished by the conven-
tion OF 1899 and the fields to be COW
cred.
Lord Reay and Sir Ernest Satow
presented proposition on the subject
OF neutral prizes, reserved the right to
present another proposition for the
dennition of what constitutes a war
ship and presented a statement on con-
traband of war.
The American delegation has not vet
given out the definite draft of its propo-
sition for the collection of contractual
debts. This is causing some uneasi-
ness among the South American coun-
tries, and especially after the publica-
tion this evening of the minutes of the
sitting of June 18th, from which it ap-
ing the American proposition said:
The United States will present a
proposition for concluding an agree
ment, in which it will introduce some
limitations in using force for the col
| lection of contractual. public and ordi-
nary debts. The feeling among GER
tain South American people is that the
words some limitations show that it
is the Intention OF the United States
to so reduce the Drago doctrine as to
deprive it of its original character,
| thereby destroying the purpose for
which 1t was neutrality-suspicious.
against Illicit European interference
| General Porter, on the other hand, ap-
| pears to be satisfied with the work ac-
complished and is confident of the sup
port of the European and South Ameri-
can countries in this matter.
| The American proposition relating
to the private property of belligerents
at sea. presented this afternoon by Jo-
| seph H. Choate, establishes this as in
violable, with the exception of contra
band, but "inviolable' does not extend
to private property trying to run a
| blockade
The British proposition on this sub
| ject of neutral prizes establishes that
| prizes must not be destroyed unless
deemed absolute necessity. The Brit
ish statement with reference to contra
band reads as though Great Britain
which heretofore has held that the
flag covers contraband. now only re-
serves the right to visit the ships to
ascertain whether or not the merchan-
disc carried is contraband.

as result of the officers first blow.
BY the time Chief Garihee had thoro-
ughiy hypnotized the first and larger of
the two men, the other one had put
quite alittle territory between them.
Undaunted, however, and determined
TO get both of them, the Chief gave
chase. On and on they raced down
the track toward Rudolph. but the
husky policeman was gaining steadily,
and before many minutes the officer
clapped him on the shoulder and said.
in as gentle voice as he could COM
mand with the breath left him.
Don't look cross eyed, or I'll fix Won
too"
While the officer was making the
chase Ed. Morrill, who happened
along, stood watching by une sleeping
man left back on the ground. After
the capture of the second man, the
officer and Mr.. Morrill, escorted them
to the county Jail. where they were
allowed to rest up and think over
their eScapade.
1t is believed by the officers that
these two men are no novices in the
crook line. In fact, it is reasoned
that they would never have taken the
desperate chance they did, had they
not feared arrest, for some other
reason, than the few days punish
ment that is attached to men con-
victed of vagrancy. There is some
thing back of all this fuss and at
tempted murder, and it is thought
that the Chief, single handed, has
bagged bigger game, than he anti
cipated when he started to walk
them out of the city.
These two men were taken before
Justice Brown Saturday and given
preliminary hearing. They gave
their names as Douglas and Davis
and listened TO the charge of
assault with intent to do great bod
lily harm. They were both bound over
to the next term of the Circuit Court,
when they will be tried, or plead
guilty to the charge entered against
them.

CHIEF GARIHEE FLOORS
WOULD BE MURDERER
While Driving "Vags" Out of
Town the Chief Was Attacked
With a Razor-.A Fight Ensued
in Which Mr.. Garihee Landed
Both Men.

Chief Garihee had an experience
Friday afternoon which he will
not soon forget, and which would re-
suit in might mare" to a less strong
neryed man than the husky guardian
Of the peace.
Early 10 the afternoon two strangers
appeared in this city selling cloths
hangers They went from store to
store and were on their way towards
the Green Bay depot, when the Chief
caught sight of them, and not being
overly we'll impressed with their ap-
pearance, he stopped them and asked
a few questions. The conversation,
though short one, was long enough
TO convince the Chief that they were
crooks adopting this method as a
means of covering up their real pur-
pose. ThereupOn they were ordered
to leave the city, and the Chief star
ted with them across TO the west side.
During this little walk from in
front of the REPORTER office to the
Northwestern depot, the tall one of
the two men kept up an incessant tor
tent of abuse. The Chief kept his
temper, and said nothing. His sus-
picions were aroused, however, and
he unpretentiousIy slipped his billy
up his sleeve.
AS the trio neared the depot, the
smaller Of the two men said to the
other one, LETS give it to him now"
AS quick as flash tie larger man
SlaShed at the Chief with a razor.
which he drew and manipulated like
a professional at a "calk walk"
The Chief, taken by surprise, drew
in bis stomach just far enough to let
the "keen cutter" go by. and without
further parley, he landed with his
billy on the desperate mans head.
knocking him down. The fallen man
still posed his senses, however, and
began Slashing at the officers legs.
and for a few minutes there was some
fancy and rapid side stepping. Carl
ices lighting blood was up, however.
and waiting his opportunity he. caught
the man on the wrist, with a blow
that Strengthened his fingers In
quicker time than it takes to tell it.
He then kicked the fallen razor to
one side, and gave the offender
sleeping potion, guaranteed to hold
him long enough for the Chief to at
tend to the other man. who had star
ted to "hike' up the track when his
companion connected with the ground
