THE SEVEN DAYS
At A GLANCE
A Condensed Resume of Events
Throughout The World for
Past Week.

Represented by the keen and elo-
quent Choate, the magnetic Porter,
the forceful Bartholdt, and other in
tellectual giants, American prestige
appears to be making itself felt for
the cause of peace and Justice in the
great world congress at The Hague.
During the week two distinct vic
tories are credited to the American
delegation. First, the proposal that
a nation shall resort to arbitration
before going to war to collect the
debts claimed by citizens against a
foreign power, and, second, the de-
cisive vote of twenty-one nations to
eleven in favor of the American pro-
posal to make private property at
sea inviolable in times of war. Be-
sides this, Mr.. Choate made an i'm
pressive speech in favor of the ad-
option of general arbitration
scheme.
The American-Japanese war scare
has all but disappeared with the pa
cific manifestoes issued by President
Roosevelt, one insisting that the
destination of the battleship fleet had
not been finally determined, and that
the whole question of the maneuvers
had been taken up long in advance
of the recent diplomatic ripples.
From the summer capital has
come one sign of the approaching
political battle, namely, the remark
of Senator Hopkins, after his con-
ference with the president, that the
next session of congress would not
touch the tariff, but that after the
election the Republicans would I'M
dertake it's revision. Another small
portent of coming political issues
was the adoption by Tammany Hall
of Cockrans radical program in ia
vor of having the national, state and
city executives represented on the
directorates, respectively, of all in
terstate, state and local corporations,
and their employees to have similar
representation; also proposing an
increase in the appellate court suf-
ficient to clear up the calendars ev-
cry thirty days.
San Francisco's graft prosecution
announced the end of the reign Of
the big stick in that city, and the
supervisors elected DR.. Edward R.
Taylor as a non-partisan mayor.
The Interstate Commerce commits
sion published its report excoriating
the financial operations of Hartman,
but making no suggestion for his
criminal prosecution. 1t urges that
railroads should be confined to the
transportation business and barred
from absorbing rival lines; also that
the issuance of securities should be
regulated.
The Haywood defense rested after
rebuttal by the state, and Judge
Wood ruled out of evidence the Col
orado labor troubles designed to
prove counter conspiracy of the
mine owners.
Another batch of 1924 indictments
against the Standard Oil company
was handed down by the federal
grand jury at Memphis. The oil
trust entered general denial to the
charges of conspiracy preferred by
the department of justice at St.
Louis.
The workhouse at Toledo yawns
for twenty-three prominent business
men convicted of violating the anti
trust law.
Governor Hughes of New York
Has SlSuou Tic DIll liLiiIll6 lhO onHi-
paign expenses of candidates for Of
flee.
Japan has taken another step to-
ward the absorption of Korea by
causing the Korean cabinet to force
the emperor to abdicate in favor of
the crown prince.
Russia has witnessed the assassin
alton of General Alikhanoff, noted
for his repressive measures against
revolutionists.
The hand of an assassin was raised
against President Fallieres of France
two shots being fired at him while
he was riding through the streets on
the republics fete day, but missing
their mark.
Peter Cooper Hewitt has an
nounced the invention of a gliding
boat capable of travelling at the rate
of mile a minute.
