for Fourth sessIon.

Lake Mohonk. N. Y. May 2,.'--
When the Lake Mohonk conference on
international arbitration assembled
Tor The fourth session Friday, It was
understood that the business commit
tee, headed by Dr. Samuel ] Bar
rows, Of New York, had decided to
omit from the platform to be report
ed for adoption, any reference 10 the
limitation OF ornaments. This was
explained by the, desire of the COM
mittee to conflhe the recommended
lions to the Hague conference to mat
tiers for which the PROSPECTS OF af-
firmative action Is more Immediately
hopeful It issknown, however, that
there Is considerable sentiment in
the conference in favor Of limita-
tion plank and 1t was regarded as
likely that such declaration would
be offered from the floor and that
there would be a discussion with a
view to adding II to the platform II
omitted by the committee The rep
reseutatives OF the 50 business mems
organizations in attendance al the con
ference already commended a plank
for the restriction OF ornaments, and
il possible for their reduction by con-
current international action 1t Is
the time honored policy of Lake Mo.
honk conferences, however, while
discussion is free and unlimited, not
to put anything into the formal plat
forms on which there is not substan-
tia unanimity Of opinion.
