over boundaries between Chile and Ar

HARD BLOW TO PEACE MAKERS
Cars Envoy Opens the Hague
Conference With Strong
Address

The Hague. June i5.-The second
international peace conference opened
this afternoon. The session lasted
scarcely 20 minutes and was devoid OF
any incident outside Of the prearranged
programme. IL consisted simply OF .
short speech Of welcome by DIR. Van Tets
Van Goudrain. the Netherlands Foreign
Minister, the addition Of q resolution to
send greetings to Emperor Nicholas and
Queen wilhelmina and the eagerly
awaited speech of Nelidoff. head Of the
Russian delegation, who was unani-
mously chosen president Of the con.
ference.
The keynote sounded by Nelidof on
behalf OF Russia was a crushing blow to
the pacificists. There was no mincing
OF words and ultimate disarmament
aud the inauguration Of universal peace
were relegated to the limbo of dreams.
Nelidoff described this as ia star float
ing far above this mundane sphere. to
be always striveni for, but never attain
ed. Nations like individuals" he said,
ARE human. and not the most perfect
judicial system ever invented could put
an end to strife and violence. When
honor and vital interests are at stake,
regardless of consequences, neither the
former nor the latter will recognize any
authority except personal Judgment and
personal feelings"
Stripped of its fine phrases, the
speech is considered a deliberate warn
ing to the conference to keep down to
earth, to continue the work of the first
conference toward alternating the
horrors of war and narrowing the
chances of conflict by opening wider the
door of arbitration and to aim toward
Cancellation and justice"
The pious vow and that the powers
should study the question Of the tighten
ing of military establishments. with
which the first conference concluded its
labors, was not even mentioned. The
speech, however, clears the atmosphere
and shows that Russia is determined to
try and keep the conference within her
programme, and that so far as the dis
cussion of ornaments is concerned. she
lines up with Germany aud Austria.
In face of this initial reverse. it re-
mains to be seen what the powers favor
ing consideration Of ornaments will do.
The delegates who insist that this sub-
1ect must not be allowed to drop. mani
fest some resentment. They say they
would not have been dissatisfied had
Russia steered clear of the subject al
together, but expressed the opinion that
this bold attempt to influence the n
ference against consideration of the
question is highly improper.

home from early boyhood to manhood.
He graduated from the Lawrence Sci

university In 1891, afterward taking q
postgraduate course at Yale. Then he

port ON the devious ways Of the Stand

Mr.. Smith has been up against big
corporations in such a way as to know
the evils %emanating from their infu.
ence in politics ever since he sat In
the Connecticut legislature during his
political apprenticeship. At that time
he rubbed elbows with agents OF cor
porations, one of whom wanted to re-
tain him as counsel. which. as he was
a lawyer. was proper. But Smith re-
fused to be retained.
There there was the usual railroad
fight. A certain railroad wanted a
"little BILL" The bill would do away
with competition in railway building.
Smith led the scrap against it. The
bill did not pass.
1t was a great mystery to the rail-
road lobbyists. Here was a poor young
man who refused to be retained and
who did up their bill. They did not
know that Smith had been left a little
fortune by his maiden aunt and was
not really poor at all. Smith was very
close mouthed about that. He just
smiled, kept a good conscience and
passed up their money.
But the scandal spread, and 1t soon
became known to a number of people
that Smith would not take a bribe.
