Cleveland, Ohio, May 22-Charles p.
Taft. Of Cincinnati is confident that
Ohio's solid delegation 20 the next Re
publican national convention will vote for
his brother, William Howard Taft. for
the Presidential nomination. While here
to-day he said.
"The political situation could not be
better from the Taft viewpoint"
He is pleased with the Endorsement his
brother has received from the governor
and other State officers. the dozen or
more Republican Congressman who have
expressed their preferences for the caudI-
date for the Presidency. and the attitude
Of state and county committeeman. which
has shown So clearly that the Republicans
Of Ohio are practically unanimous for the
War Secretary's nomination. Concerning
his brothers candidacy, Mr. Taft said.
we are interested first and last 20 see
the Secretary nominated for President
We are not taking any part for or against
any candidate IN any contest over the
United States Senatorship or any other
office than the Presidency.
The only change In the situation since
the calling Off Of the conference Of State
leaders by Senator Dick is that many Re
pUbicsns who had not previously COM
mitted themselves have now openly de-
clared I'm favor Of the Secretary. The
situation as I view II is more s8tisfac-

MOHONK CONFERENCE OPENS
Discussion of International Arbitrn.
tJoD by Noted Men

Lake Mohonk. n. Y. May 29.-The Lake
Mohonk Conference on International Arbi-
tration opened its thirteenth annual ses-
sion to-day.
Dr.. Nicholas Murray Butler. Of Column
bia University, New York, was elected
president; Clinton r. Woodruff, Of Phila-
delphia. secretary; II. c. Phillips Mo-
honk Lake. n. Y. permanent correspond
ing secretary. and Alexander c. Wood. Of
Camden. n. J., treasurer.
President Butler delivered an address.
in which he advocated that the question
of disarmament be avoided at this con-
ference, but the restriction Of further
growth of great armies and navies be
urged. lie also suggested some recon-
mendations for the coming conference
at The Hague.
The present status Of the international
arbitration movement was the subject OF
an address by Benjamin =. Trueblood
secretary of the American Peace Society.
Boston. Or. TrueblOOd said. in part:
IT would seeil, at first sight. that
arbitration. which has been so prevalent
in recent years. is going out Of fashion
and is 10 fall again into disuse. But such
suggestion is as far as possible from
being true Interpretation of the situa-
ton. The Hague court IL is true. has
had no new business. but the reason is
that there have been no disputes Of I'M
portance between tho parties which are
parties TO 1t. To arbitrate disputes is an
excellent thing, bat it is a still more ex-
callent way 50 to live as not to have
quarrels"

WRECKERS DITCH TRAIN.
/ One Killed and Many Hurt when
Coast Flyer Is DcraiIed.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 22-Train
wrcckcrs are believed to have been the
cause Of the ditchiug Of the Coast Line
limited, one Of the Southern Pacific flyers.
at West Glendale. ten miles north Of this
city, at 1870 o'clock this morning. One
man was killed and twenty-five persons
injured. four Of whom will die.
The express was crossing a trestIe at
West Glendale at the rate Of forty miles
an hour To make up time when il LEFT the
track. Seven cars plunged off the trestle.
falling sixteen feet TO the bottom of a
gulch.
There IS every evidence that the dpratl-
Ing was the work Of train wreckers. At a
point on the trestle, which runs over the
Arroyo Seco. the fishplates and bolts of
two rails on the sOuth-bound track had
been removed.
The tender. the diner two Pullmans. the
buffet. mail. and baggage cars plunged
over the edge Of the trestle and fell 10
the ground below. The buffet and OK
press cars and one Of the Pullmans were
turned completely over The others landed
on their sides. All were badly crushed
and splintered.
The man killed was Y. p. McMahcn. of
Santa Barbara, who was riding in the
baggage car.
The engineer and fireman were unhurt.
owing to the fact that the locomotive did
not leave the trestle. Had II done so. fire
would have undoubtedly broken out in the
wreckage and added to the disaster.
