More Power to the Peace Party


1t is not because the United States is
an eleventh hour convert to peace that
the first national arbitration and peace
congress was called so late as April,
1907 This country has been repre-
scented in peace congresses for years.
Two names have been presented from
this country for the Nobel peace prize,
and President Roosevelt was awarded
the honor. Universal peace has been
the dream of very respectable body
Of our citizens for more than a genera
tion In recent years arbitration has
been widely talked about and actually
applied as a means of settling interna-
tional disputes. Its advocates, how
ever, have run against the snag that
In order to be universally effective ar
bitration must be compulsory, and that
word compulsory has anything but a
peaceful look where nation with a
military past Is concerned
The deliberations at the first arbi-
tration and peace congress should en-
tighten our delegates to the coming
Hague conference as to the real senti-
ment for arbitration and peace in the
United States. 1t Is desirable that a
model general arbitration treaty for
adoption by all nations represented at
The Hague be discussed and, IL posi-
BILE, improved. The next step is the
creating Of an international congress
or world parliament to meet period
ically for the. discussion and adjust
ment of international questions.

Jacob GerbovItz Charged With
Attempted Wife Murder, is
Found to be Insane
COMMITTED TO WlNNEBAeo
The Jury Considers the Case for Eight
Hours Before Arriving at Yer
dict-Gerbovitz Seems to
be Pleased

Jacob Gerbovitz, the man who made
a sensational attempt to murder his
wife on the morning Of January %
near the Jeffrey factory is now on his
way to the hospital for the insane at
Winnebago, as this morning the jury
which had heard the evidence intro
duced on the special plea of insanity,
returned a verdict finding Gerbovitz
insane, and the court at once COM
mitted him to the State hospital. He
was taken to Winnebago this after
noon. After the sentence to a Rad
house had been imposed by the court,
Gerbovitz became violent at the
county jail and for more than an hour
he paced his cell or else remained in
snllen stupor talking to himself.
He was finally quieted when told that
he was going on along journey and
he began to make preparations for
the trip.
The jury debated long on the case
before they found the verdict which
was sealed and presented to the court
eight of the jurors had voted to send
Gerbovitz to an asylum, and on the
next ballot the ninth juror went with
the majority. Three jurors waited
until nearly O'Clock before they con-
sented to sign a verdict finding the
man insane. In the argument the
principal objection to finding the man
sane was found in the fact that the
State hal shown no evidence of sanity
except by witnesses who were inter-
ested in the case, and this was the
lever used by the majority of the jur-
ors in arriving at a verdict. The
verdict finds that Gerbovitz was in
sane on the morning Of January %
and that he is insane at this time. 1t
holds for this reason that he should
be found not guilty of the charges
against him. James NORM, of the
town of Somers, was the foreman of
the jury, and after the jury had been
discharged he stated that he felt no
doubt but that Gerbovitz was insane
when he shot at his wife and at the
present time.
Under the ruling of the jury the
case against Gerbovitz is at an end
for should he be released from an
asylum later it would be impossible
to prosecute him on the charge of at
tempted murder.
The wife of Gerbovitz, while testi-
flying with the state in regard to the
sanity of her husband seemed to be
content to have him placed in a hospi-
tai for treatment. When the case
was first brought to the knowledge of
the courts the wife and her mother
had both insisted that Gerbovitz was
insane.
The physicians who have been ex-
aiming Gerboyitz seem to be of the
opinion that he will recover his
health with rest and proper care, but
some Of them fear that his association
with insane patients may result in his
becoming permanently insane.

Statement in Regard to Him
In response to numerous inquiries
as to the condition of Wilbur Glenn
Vo1iva, Dowie's successor, who was
reported dying, Overseer Harvey D.
Brase6eld, his representative in Zion
City, yesterday issued a statement
that there was but slight possibility
of fatal outcome from his present
illness.
''The trouble, said Overseer Brase-
field, els an acute attack of tonsilitis
taking the form of what is called
quinsy. It was fortunate that the
swelling of the two tonsi1s did not
occur at the same time, as that might
have closed his throat and prevented
his taking food.
"There has been considerable pain,
which has interfered with the general
overseer's sleep, and taking nourish-

The steady direct and cross fire on
the railroads for couple Of years past
moves the Railway Age to say, 1T is
time to look squarely in the face these
grave and threatening facts that these
attacks on railway corporations are adj
versely affecting their credit; that the
abuse Of their superiors is having a
disastrous effect upon the morale Of
the employees, which accentuates an
already active tendency toward insub-
ordination; that nothing so freely con-
tributes to railway accidents as a uni
versal scare over accidents; that con-
tinuance of the present attitude toward
railways need be carried only little
further to bring about condition Of
business paralysis and panic"

PLEASANTLY DISAPPOINTED

Cnul the reports Of Generals Grant and Roe

or hot The recent coast guard duty IN which the
Natlonal Guard acted with the regulars was. in
ue eyes or the commanding officers, a success
ful experiment. These documents will show
now the National Guardsmen performed their
part or the duty, whether there was harmony
between the professional soldier and his anna
teur comrade and whether the service was pro-
ductive Of results sufficiently good TO warrant
repetition. Some Of the men who took mart

(5OO) dollars worth of property in the State Of
Georgia shown by the tax digest.
The right to qualify under the third para
graph will expire in 1910 and under the first
and second paragraphs in 1915. After 1919
only the literacy and property tests will re
main. The literacy test is also made clear and
definite. Under the Maryland scheme election
officers were to have the power TO pass upon
voters ability to construe or interpret any
paragraph in the state constitution power
plainly liable to gross abuses. Georgia takes
the more simple and honest method and inn
poses a test to which there can be no legiti-
mate objection, since it is specific and general.
No state ought TO be censured for trying to
raise the levels of intelligence and civic ca
pacity, and educational and property qualihca-
tions may prove decidedly helpful in Georgia
The grandfather clause" is side door to let
in members of privileged classes who might
otherwise not qualify. As we have often said,
IT is an unworthy concession TO prejudice and
ignorance. 1t offends equity and truly demo-
cratic notions of equality. We should regret
It's acceptance In Georgia the more since, even
as modified and tempered, it is a blot on an
otherwise rational scheme for sitting more
carefully the suffrage qualifications of would
be voters.

rnuch smaller than he had been led TO ex-
pect by mathematical calculation, but he felt
sure that he had witnessed q genuine evolution.
His methods were challenged, however, anu
within the last few weeks Mr.. SOddy mas ad-
mitted that his first Inference was prooapIy u
mistaken one Having adopted another purl,
ficatlon process, and having waited six hundred
days. he got absolutely no radium AT present
therefore, there is little evidence that uranium
is either the parent or the grandparent OF
radum.
Two other investigators Professor r. B. Bolt
wood of the Sheffield Scientific School, ana
Professor f. Rutherford, of McGM University
Montreal have been pushing the genealoSlcaI
research in another direction. Both OF them
observed the growth of radium In preparations
of another of the recently discovered elements
possessing radioactive" qualities, actinium.
Moreover, the rate of growth is said to be uni
form, whether short or long intervals be con-
sidered Still, concerning the exact nature or
the relationship which Is thus apparently re-
vealed there is some difference of opinion.
There has recently been a disposition to re-
gard radium as the immediate offspring of ac-
tnium, but this Professor Rutherford Is not yet
ready TO concede. He describes in Nature
a test which causes him 10 hesitate to adopt
that conclusion. After proceeding i'll dlHer-
ent manner from the one which he had pre-
NOAANAN~
ers a precipitate of actinium, and from that he
got no radium in the course of eighty days
His present belief is that the parent of radum
Is q new substance, not identical with actinium,
but separable from IT, though it is conceded that
further inquiry may show that "ths parent
substance is a transformation product of ac-
tnium, or, in other words, occupies an inter
mediate position between the latter and ra-
dium.
Professor Rutherford does not regard his work
as final and intends TO continue it further. He
and other students OF the subject may event
ually decide that the relationship between actin
ium and radIum is closer than is now conceded
Perhaps, on the other hand, they may come to
regard II as more remote than 1t appears to be.
A few sources Of error In the experiments al
ready on record have been detected Others
may exist which have not been suspected.
Both Professors BoltwOOd and Rutherford en-
joy high regulations for penetration and thor
oughness. Yet so distinguished an authority as
Lord Kelvin remains skeptCal about transmu-
tation. One Of these days an entirely fresh in
depreciation may be put on the fascinating reve-
lations to which the Cures' famous discovery
gave rise.
