STILL OPPOSED TO
ARBITRATION THEORY
Stands UP Strong For Equality
of Nations" and viii Only Vote
For Such Terms as
Observe Those
Rights.

The Hague, Holland Sept. 21.-At
the sixth plenary sitting of the
peace conference today in the course
of discussion regarding the establish
ment of an international prize courj
Senior Esstavan of Mexico, announced
that the Mexican delegation would
now vote In favor of the proposition
as the modification permitting the
country interested in the case to
have it own judge on the tribunal
largely did away with the objection
able features of the earlier propo-
sition, which he said contravened the
principle of the equality of nations.
Estevan added that while Mexico
would support the proposition TO es-
tablish a prize court she did not
withdraw her opinion, repeatedly ex-
pressed, against the project to estab-
lish an international court Of perma-
nent arbitration, If based on a prin-
ciple contrary to the equality of
states.
Favor the Court.
The American delegates favor the
prize court plan and indeed it will
be voted upon favorably by practi-
cally all the nations since Mexico has
agreed to its provisions. Mexico's
delegates have strenuously opposed
certain features of the prize court
proposition, owing to the alleged un-
fairness of the courts authority.
Tne permanent
proposition Is favored by about one
half of the delegates, and there is
hardly a possibility that 1t will even
tually be carried. There are many
objections to It's establishment, and
these have been freely expressed, eS
pecially by the smaller of the pow
ers.
Esteyan is An Influence.
Don Estevan is one of the leading
members of the peace conference
and his strong fight against features
of the prize court and the permanent
arbitration court have had their ef-
feet on many of the other delegates.
He has carefully studied the ques-
tions at issue and his opinion is well
founded. His announcement today
that Mexico would withdraw her OPP
position to the prize court proposi-
ton was received with quiet approv-
al from the delegates who favor the
establishment of such a court.
The prize court, in effect, will con-
troll everything taken by any coun-
try during time of war and effect Its
disposal in manner suitable to the
terms of war and the peace treatT
by which that war is concluded.
The permanent arbitration court
is intended to do away with the es-
tablishment of temporary courts OF
arbitration in times when such a
course is deemed advisable to settle
some international difhculty.

run out of the way, was struck in
the head by a flying fragment Of
timber from the caboose, and slight
ly hurt.

JUDG WENT AGAINST
TERRITORY FOR
BURSUM
Report of Stafford In Penitenti-
dry Investigation Fully Sus.
tanned In Every Detail.
JOURNAL MAY HAVE TO
PROVE ASSERTIONS

Silver City, N. NJ, Sept. 21.-(Spe-
ciaD-H O. Bursum, former super
intendent of the New Mexico peni-
tentiary, was today given judgment
for over $4,000, the amount he
claimed was due him in the adjust
ment of the disputed accounts of the
prison, and the report of Referee c.
V. Stafford. which showed that the
territory owed Mr.. Bursum this mon
ey, was sustained in every important
detail. The case came up before
Frank w. Parker, judge of the Fifth
judicial district court.
This case grew out of alleged
shortages in the PRISON accounts at
the time when Fl. j. Hagerman was
governor. The Albuquerque Morning
Journal published what was said to
be an expert report, declaring Bur-
sum short in his accounts with the
prison. The morning paper may now
have to prove its assertions.
Bursum paid into the prison ac-
counts, some two thousand dollars
under protest and filed suit under q
law passed by the last legislature for
an adjustment of the accounts of the
prison. Stafford was appointed to
investigate the books of the prison
and compiled a lengthy report which
the court upheld.
Territory Failed to Prove Case.
After preliminary argument, At
torney General A. B. Fall admitted
that the territory had failed in its
objections to the suit.
Nh. Stafford testified as to the cor
rectness of the report made by HIM
self. The attorney general admitted
that the territory could find no evil
dence against the correctness Of the
report.
The attorney general asked that
the interests OF the territory be pro-
tected in any decree entered by the
court also any interest of the Uni
ted States although there is none
admitted by Special Agent Holcomb.
who said the government was not a
party to the suit.
The judgment was rendered after
the court had inquired into all
doubtful parts of the evidence.
After admitting that the territory
was not in possession of any evidence
to show the Stafford report incor-
rect, the attorney general called at
tention to the fact that all monies
from the appropriations We're eX-
pended by warrants duly passed up
on by the penitentiary commission
ers.

The Day with the Crowd

Every town has its day, two or
three times a year at least, when
there is a crowd on the streets at a
circus or a celebration of some sort
Many OF us can remember when we
drove in from the country IL the cs-..>
OF the morning before the hot sun
had dried the dew on the roadside
foliage By the time we had walked
UP and down the strange walks our
feet were pinched from the new shoes
our stomachs rebelling against the
red lemonade and peanuts were be-
ginning to give us pain, and our
heads began 10 ache from so many
new sights to be seen at once
Many of the stores have stands
erected out in front and bunting and
flags are strung in decoration. The
cries of vendors startle us. What
witty things they sho;.t without the
faintest show of embarrassment! How
eloquent is the man in. front Of the
siI show tent
Down the street rides. the marsfiaf
resplendent III wide red sash. He
IS authority personiffed as he tells
the crowd to get back from the APP
proching parade. We already hear
the blare of the band as we push for
place to see among the expectant
line of people
Dinner in the shade with the old
folks. with the younger Of us be-
grudging the time taken out for the
meal for which we have no appetite.
In that seething mass on Main street
during the afternoon we pass neigh
Dor youths. their derby hats far on
one side of the head, cigars in their
mouths and girls on their arms
The old folks stop to shake hands
with acquaintences they have not
seen in years and the crops and poll
tres are discussed.
1t is great day. We drive home
in the evening tired out and happy.
Now we know that it was not the
hundred guns at sunrise" nor the
big parade. nor the balloon as
cension." that made the day a sue
cess. 1t was merely that we had
chance 70 see other people and give
them a chance to see us.

GOODBYE OFFICE HELP
Automatic Machinery Takes Their
Places

A Chicago special says that Ancri-
can business Offices of the future
will be entirely stripped of pretty
stenographers, noisy office boys and
sedate book-keepers, ard IN fact all
hclp;' the work being done entirely
By automatic machinery. Late inven-
sticns to be shown at the National
Bttsiness Show in New Y ork and Chi
ca6b tilis fall will herald the passing
of ali sorts of office help Here are
some of the strange devices that will
be seen:
A macine that will automatically
write letters and address the envcl-
opes over night and have them ready
for the mail in the morning and gua-
raf,teed not to flirt. Another that
will put on stamps and drop them in
the mail box A eonveyor that will
carry papers and other portable ar
ticles to every portion of the office
and factory and drop them just where
they are needed and will not loaf or
shoot craps on the way. A device
that will keep books absolutely with
out the aid of any human agency
further than handy man in overalls
to put on a drop of oil occasionally,
and will positively eschew the race
track.
A telephone attachment that will
lift off the receiver when the bell
rings. say in soft feminine voice:
"Hello-hold the wire please and
give the name of the firm. When the
f1anager is out he turns switch and
the person calling is told that he IS
a~ay and is asked 10 call later n
Aeparate attachment records every
word of the conversation at both
ends, so that m the future it can be
turned on like electric light or put
away for future reference Still an
other attachment makes objects at
distance visible. SO that hubby can
match piece of silk for wiley with

HoBoEs TO GO ON MARCH
Coxey Planning Another Raid Of the
Unwashed

According to reports in cireula-
ton in Salt Ste Marie, Mich :. Gen
Jacob s. Coxey. who led the famous
r1fch Of the unwashed to Washing
ton in the sprirg Of 1894, is planning
another hobo crusade with Wall
street as the objective point. Willie
COxey refuses TO explain the pur pose
Of the expedition it is believed that
he intends TO present another 'pcti-
ton with lis boots oil" den, ding
the government ownership OF rail-
roads and all monopolies. IL is
known that government owf efship
ha5 been Coxey's fad for some time.
and he has often declared that the
great issue Of the dav is "whetfssr
the railroads and corporations are
going TO OWN the gov srnment or tic
government own the railroads and
corporations.
Coxey's first march to Washing
ton started as a demonstrations Of
disContentnie among the unean loy-
ed after the financial panic Of 1903.
At that time Coxey was the pro-
prietor Of flourishing quarry at
Massilon, O. Forced to close down
his plant ard throw his men out OF
employment, he brooded over his
troubles snntil the idea of leading an
arny Of unen;3loyed to Washington
occurred TO him He intended TO de
1eand that the government furnisn
employment on, public improvements
until the "hard times" had passed
BY the time he had reached Washing
ton, however. his ragged army had
dwindled to a thousand. and the pro-
jest became the subject of ridicule.
