The application of the Monroe
Doctrine" or the Drago doctrine, the
exercise of so-calied rights by Japan
over Korea, Japan's interest in China,
as distinguished from the rights Of
other powers, the Congo question and
matters of live interest in diplomatic
exchanges are the things the ambas-
sadors are expected to talk about
So far as can now be seen, nothing
in the way of treaties will result.
There is no such intention. 1t Is to
be merely getting together to ex-
change views and have an informal
understanding among the powers
about what they would do In certain
contingencies.
The greatest of these contingencies
is the death or abdication of the en-
press dowager of China. When that
happens 1t is feared there will be
trouble, either on account Of China's
jealousy Of Japan or Chinese hatred
on the Manchu dynasty.

PRESIDENT TO HAVE PEACE
CONFERENCE OF HIS OWN

WI ASHINGTON - President Roose-
w welt is not satisfied with the
amount of work done or likely to be
done in the interest of peace by the
conference at The Hague, so he Is
going to have one of his own. Its
delegates are to be the ambassadors
accredited to him by the several pow
ers. 1t Is possible that ministers may
be taken in, but that is not settled.
Not many of them represent nations
with stick large enough to make
them factors in settling world prob
lens.
The underlying idea is that the am
bassadors, by means of informal talks
among themselves, will be able to
come to an understanding about ques-
tions in which are interested all the
big powers of value in settling dis
putes. Disarmament, Limitation of
armament, new rules of war-the So
called larger questions which the con-
ference at The Hague is handling
will not be touched. Disputes are

to 2s per cent. under ordinary circum.
stances.
A grain containing % per cent. of
water will ferment and spoil in an ele-
vator or ships hold under unfavora-
BILE conditions, and, therefore, is dan
gerous grain to buy. Yet its kernels
are pretty sure to be plump, sound and
handsome, and to secure high grad
ing by the inspector. who judges chief
ly by appearances.
On the other hand, grain from a
dry country, which contains IL per
cent or thereabouts of moisture. Is
not as handsome, as rule, and will
be graded lower. Yet this grain when
put into ship for voyage across the
ocean will absorb a considerable per-
centage of moisture and will reach
its destination looking fine, plump
and full, with an increase of several
per cent in weight.
The shipper actually stands to
make more money on certain grains
as a result of their absorption of
moisture on voyage, than the cost Of
freight. He could make money by
loading his grain on a boat, giving it
voyage for it's health and bringing
it back to the first port for sale.
This is merely suggestion Of the
ineficiency of the present methods Of
testing grain.

1t is the hope Of the promoters OF
the convention to persuade the Dresi-
dent to give in his December message
to congress q strong Endorsement Of
the waterway project.
1t can be said, however, that what
he may do in this respect will be
guided by the opinion of the inland

was created by the president last
spring for the express purpose Of ex-
amining into the lakes-to-the-gulf prop

Latest Move to Save Mrs. Myers Fails
in Missouri

KANSAS CITY, January 4.-Judge John f.

habeas corpus. Mrs. Myers is now in jail
at Liberty, under sentence of death for
the murder of her husband. and Frank
Hoffman, in jail at Kansas City for
completely in the crime. will be executed on
January TO- unless Gov. Folk interferes.
AS a last resort the attorneys for Mrs.
Myers and Hoffman will now appeal to
prisoners to life Imprisonment.
The arguments on the application for the
writ were made earlier in the week. Inc
attorneys for Mrs. Myers argued that the
Clay county court had no jurisdiction in
the case when the trial was held, baslng
their contention on a technicality. They
sought to have the case retired. Attorney
General Herbert S. Hadley replied for the
state.
Judge Phillips in announcing his decision
today said that inasmuch as the point in
dispute had not been taken up before the
United States Supreme Court, to which
the attorneys for Mrs. Myers recent.y I'M
successfully sought retrial on claim of
error he did not feel justified In passing
upon it, and he, therefore. denied the writ.
