At the afternoon session julius Henry Cohen
told of efforts making. with some success in the
direction of ethical morality on the part Of
lawyers. Gradually the members of the pro

that lawyers have duties toward themselves as
which must transcend certain duties TO
others, That is that when the question OF ob-
cations TO the defendant in a criminal case comes
up a man must remember his obligations to his
soul. The speaker held that the idea of a
lawyer taking any steps at hand to release a de-
PENDANT is more the general view.

NO DANGER OF WAR.
Mexico Guatemala Relations Described
by Ambassador Creel.

The following statement reviewing the
situation between Mexico and Guatemala
was made today to the Associated Press by
Ambassador Creel of Mexico:
Il notice that the press and the public
are expecting to receive at any moment
the sensational news of a war between
Mexico and Guatemala, under the wrong
impression that some demands from Mexico
are still pending action on the part Of
Guatemala.
ut is important to clear the situation so
nothing pending and no reason for any
fear Of war between the two countries.
THE assassination of eX-President Ba-
rillas by Guatemalans developed in Mexico
feeling Of indignation, and strong pro-
test by public opinion against such GRIM
inal action, more so, when it was known
that Gen. Lima, from Guatemala, was sup
posed to be implicated.
Mexico asked for the extradition of Gen.
Lima, not as compulsory under the treaty,
but offering Guatemala the privilege that
might have been accepted, as there is no
prohibition in the treaty for such action.
Guatemala declined and this was the end
Of the conflict.
There remains in Mexico a feeling OF
grievance and condemnation in the public
sentiment, but not spirit of war.
1.-The troops that have been located in the
frontier Of Mexico and Guatemala are there
for the purpose of keeping order and to
give protection to the people of all nation
alites."

THRoNG AT BELMONT PARK.
Fine Weather and Good Card Draw a
Large Number.

NEW YORK, May 30-The classic Bel
mont stakes for three-year- olds and the
Whitney Memorial steeplechase were a
double attraction which drew thousands Of
people to the Belmont race track today to
see the running of these two interesting
racing events. Five horses were carded to
make the bid for the rich SCI 600 Belmont
stakes, and the entries included James r.
keene's Superman, the winner of the
Brooklyn handicap Superman was coupled
with Peter Pan. 1t was the forty-first run
ming of the Belmont stakes, and keen and
exciting struggle over the mile and three
furlongs course was anticipated.
Six horses were entered in the Whitney
Memorial stseplechase, for four-year-olds
and upward, and the class Of the entries
insured some smart racing over the route
of two miles and half. Good and Plenty,
Grandpa and Palz were included in the
entries.
Good sunshine today dried all of the mois-
ture out of the racing lane. and the early
enthusiasts looked for the judges to hang
up some fast time before the flag falls on
the final race. Early trains to the track
brought hundreds of people, and a record
breaking crowd was forecasted by the time
of the call for the Belmont stakes.

WILMOT UNDER ARREST.
President of Big Plant Passed N. G..
Check

CHICAGO, May 30.-J. r. Wilmot who
says he is president of a gas engine and
gas plant of New York, was brought to Chi
cago today in custody of officers who ar
rested him in Montreal. Wilmot was on his
way to Quebec, where he intended taking a
steamer for Havre, France. He is charged
with passing bogus check for $500 while
in Chicago a few weeks ago, Wilmot saying
at that time that he came here to build a
factory near Chicago. He admits cashing
the check, but says he had 100000 in COL
lateral at the time; that he wanted it only
as a loan. II must have been insane when
1 did it, added Wilmot THE whole thing
is mistake"
The bond brokerage company with which
Wilmot cashed the check refuses to prose-
cute, but Wilmot has been indicted and the
police say there will be no settlement Of
the case.
The police understand that former Pres
ident Grover Cleveland has an interest in
the gas plant of which Wilmot is president
and which has factories in Newark, N. j.
Wimot would neither affirm nor deny this
statement.
