THE NEW TREATY

Between the United States and San
Domingo Has Been Presented.
Associated Press to The Evening Times.
San Domingo. Republic OF Santo
Domingo, April S.-The new treaty be-
tween the United States and Santo
Domingo, intended to replace the Do
minican treaty which has been pend
ing before the United States senate for
the last two years. has been presented
to congress and referred to commit
tee for examination and report.
Quiet prevails throughout the re-
public.
The new treaty differs from the
original treaty in it's simplicity, par
ticularaly in the matter OF substitute
ing bonds to be delivered to the inter-
national creditors of Santo Domingo
instead of requiring them to await the
payment of small installments of their
money from the Dominican customs
receipts. The total bond issue is con-
siderably less than $20,O00,000, which
is a reduction of about one-half from
the original claim. The bonds will
run for fifty years, but it is provided
that at the expiration OF ten years
they may be redeemed at pleasure by
the Dominican government at 1021a.

STANFORD WHITES EFFECTS SOLD AND
l22 PAINTINGS ARE NEXT ON LIST

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, April S.-The 1872 paint
ings included in the collection of the
late Stanford White, reserved from the
auction of the other effects at the Lex
ington avenue house last week. were
placed on display today at the Ameri-
can art galleries, where they will re-

with friends of the late architect and
curious people eager to see the pic
lures once the property of Harry
Thaw's victim.
The collection includes both old and
modern pictures, a large number being
studies in the nude. A considerable
number of the older canvasses are
simply attributed to periods or schools,
no attempt being made to prove that
they are the work of the famous paint
ers to whom they are ascribed. Other
pictures are recorded definitely as the

MISSOURI S0LONS MAY ENACT LAW
TO PROHIBIT RACE TRACK GAMBLING

is the emergency clause to the law
prohibiting race track gambling. The
act was passed at the regular session,
but does not become effective until
June. The proposed emergency clause
will cause the act to become operative
at once and will put quietus to the
rumored race meeting at st. Louis.
Prominent legislators who have been
interviewed on the subject declare
that there is little likelihood of dram
shop legislation during tho special
session. 1t is rumored that propo-
sition for submitting the question Of
prohibition to vote of the people will
be offered, but 1t is not likely to re-
ceivo favorable consideration.
The quo warranto bill advocated by
Folk. providing for tho removal of
derelict county officials, Is not looked
upon with favor by the members. as is
evidenced by the fact that It was de-
feated at the regular session.
Members will draw their full pay OF
IS q day during the special session.

cued from death by Capt. Etheridge
and his crew OF life-savers at the
Nagshead, N. c., station early today,
when the four-masted schooner Louis

heavy northwest gale that has pre-
vailed along the Virginia Carolina
coast for the past forty-eight hours.
The schooner was bound from New
York to Virgins, S. c.. for a cargo
and was swept out of her course by
the storm. Shortly after midnight she
ran on the beach and was discovered
in the breakers by coast guard from
the Nagshead station. On account OF
the high sea no attempt was made to
launch the boats. A line was shot
over the schooner and the breeches
buoy was run out. When the surf
men pulled it in they were surprised
to find young woman as it's passen-
ger. She is the daughter of Capt.
Fletcher of the wrecked craft. Then

schooner's crew were hauled to safety
through the seas, and on the last trip

Mr.. Stead is doubtful, however.
whether 1T is the province of the state
Of Illinois to enforce the remedy. The
revocation of the companys charter
which, apparently would be the natur-
al procedure on the part of the state.
would bring most of the suffering upon
innocent stockholders, Hartman and
his Wall street associates having al
ready unloaded large part of their

Mr.. Stead inclines to the belief that
the remedy lies with the company It.
self, or in the event of its refusal to
act, with some one or more of its
stockholders. This conclusion, how
ever. is not final. for the attorney gen.
eral specifically states that If he
should become satisfied upon further
investigation that an effective remedy
can be enforced by the state he shall
not hesitate to institute proceedings.

opinion by Commissioner Harlan to
the effect that the Frank Parmales
Transfer company OF Chicago may not
receive free interstate transportation,
although there is no law to prevent
the transfer company from giving all
the free transportation it pleases. The
basis of the decision is that the trans
fer company is not an interstate car
rier, and is thus precluded from the
clause permitting exchange Of passes
between common carriers. The bag

 The finger watch is New York so- ciety latest fad. As It's name will indicate the new timepiece is one of almost microscopial dimensions set in ring. exactly as a diamond might be. to be worn on one of the fingers of the right hand outside of the glove. The fad. like all others of its kind, is eX- pensive. the cheapest of these tiny timepieces costing at least s100. from which point the price runs up rapidly according to the taste of the wearer in the matter of jeweled mounting. The first of these Lilliputian watches re- gently made its appearance in a jew eler's window here only to be imme- diately purchased and since then there has arisen regular craze for them. As woman is at present absolutely without pockets and as the custom of wearing a watch pinned to the dress has lost popularity. Some persons have been unkind enough to call it a hideous idea but that of course is no reason why it should not become fash ionable. The smallest of these new watches are hardly more than a quar ter of an inch in diameter
