STEAD HAS PLAN FOR PEACE
Living Petition from All Nations to
The Hague Confer
ence.


NEW YORK, April Wv. T. Stead occu-
pied the pulpit IN Plymouth church. Brook
lyn, tonight and set forth his views as to
the opportunity afforded Americans by the
coming Hague conference OF arousing
other nations to the sense Of the import
ance Of making Immediate progress toward
the ideal described by the phrase. The
United states OF the World"
He urged that at the coming peace con-
vention twelve representative American
men and women should be selected as the
nucleus OF a pilgrimage of peace. These
persons would then appeal to the Ameri-
can people for their Endorsement by public
meetings or signed memorials. Armed with
this evidence of national support, they
would in the first case go as a deputation
to the president and to the secretary OF
state, asking them to instruct their dele
gates at The Hague to support the above
program. Then he would approach the
British ambassador and inform him Of their
intention TO start at once for England and
to appeal to the British people for their
support In pressing their requests upon
the king and his ministers.
Mr.. Stead said there was no doubt that
they would receive an Overwhelmingly
popular reception in Britain where the
ground already had been prepared. At
London they would be Joined by four pill
grims from each Of the three Scandinavian
countries, and the Americans and Scandi-
navians together with twelve British pill
grims, would present their petition to the
king at Buckingham palace and to his
ministers in Downing street. The thirty-slx
pilgrims would then cross over to Paris.
The same thing would be repeated there.
Receptions by the president of the republic
and his ministers, and municipality and the
| Chamber Of Commerce would afford ample
| demonstration of the loyalty of France to
/ the principle Of fraternity.
! The pilgrims. now swollen to forty-eight
| by the addition OF twelve French pilgrims,
would pick up others at Geneva and then
| go on to Rome From Rome the pilgrims,
now sixty-two in number, would go to
Russia, and eighty-six would arrive at
Berlin, ninety-eight would reach Brussels
and then 100 would finally round up at The
| Hague to present their petition at the
! conference which is to assemble on June l.
Mr.. Stead said the idea had been received
with enthusiasm in Europe.

BUSSIE WAITS FOR FIFTEENTH
Has No Intention of Trying to Gust
Mayor Dunno at the Pres
ent ime.

CHICAGO, April Tt have no present
idea of taking office until April Is. I do
not expect to go to the city hall Monday,
any day this week I do expect to 20
there April 15." This announcement made
by Mayor Elect Fred A. Busse tonight
gave practical assurance that Chicago
would not be the scene OF a dual municipal
government and attendant complications,
which It was feared might follow the swear
ing IN OF Mr.. Busse as mayor last Satur-
day. Mayor Dunno is not to be forcibly
ousted, but will have the customary op-
portunity Of addressing a farewell message
to the old council and witness the formal
Inauguration OF the Busse administration.
Mr.. Busse admitted contingencies might
arise which might cause him to assume the
duties Of mayor prior to April IS, but that
he does not now forsee any such conting-
ency.
Mayor Dunno appeared not 70 be con-
cerned over the situation. He left for the
east tonight after having deputized Comp
troller McGann to act as mayor in his
absence.
Il will be back at the city hall on Tues
day morning" he said. III Mr Busse

Bryan I'm a lecture here tonight at the

I'm glad to see this question agitated.
l am sanguine enough to believe that this
struggle over accepting money which has
been amassed by questionable means will
yet be settled on the side OF ethics and
morality. I believe the time is coming
when great educational institutions will
refuse TO give respectability to great Grim
inals going into partnership with them.
