StNATE RETAINS GRIP ION ARBITRATION MATTERS
Tho Elimination os the Automatic Provision ic the New French Treaty

Washington Feb. 13.-There is no reason to doubt that the attitude of the state department is entirely favorable to the negotiation of arbitration treaties such as was recently concluded be- tween America and France, with any of the other great powers that may de- sire to enter into such an arrangement. The fact is, that technically. there are pending and awaiting the final act of exchanging notifications which howev- CT. they are expected never to receive, arbitration treaties between the Unit ed States and Great Britain, France, Germany, Spain. Portugal Italy, Switzerland. Austro- Hungary. Sweden, Norway a@d Mexico.
 The president has declined to ex- change notifications, and thus vitaliZe the treaties because the United States senate, by an amendment, has defeated the purpose of the general automatic arbitration scheme.
 It develops that the president in ne gOtiating the new French treaty. prac- tically yielded to the senate, for it is understood that in the French treaty, which will serve as pattern for sub sequent conventions with other coun- tries, provision is made that the so- called compromise" or article which specifics in detail the subject to be submitted for arbitration and the scope and manner of the proceedings, shall in each case, be submitted for the approval of the senate.

Wabash. Ind, Feb. 13.-Senator Bev- eridge of Indiana addressed the In diana Lincoln League Of Republican clubs tonight. Mir. Beveridge said in part: The Indiana delegation is go- ing to Chicago for Vice President Fairbanks.

 Headings to the indictments will be made probably on Friday.
 The Bankers Life went out of bus mess some time ago. The allegations have to do with acts committed prior to 1905, while VOrhees was president, and Combes secretary.
 The indictment charges that in 1904 the president and secretary swore falsely in setting forth in their report to the state insurance commissioner that certain claimed dividends were not due to policy holders.

REVIVAL OF INTEREST
 IN G0LDtIELD STRIKE
IL IS Understood That the Federation Win Make Another Effort at Settle ment.

GoIdfieId. Nev. Feb. iS.-C. E. Ma honey. vice president of the Western Federation of Miners arrived at Gold field from the headquarters in Denver today and was cIoseted with the local leaders for several hours. A rumor has been persistent for several days that the Western Federation was about to call off the strike at Goldfield and that another effort would be made first to induce the operators to restore the old scale of wages. Waiving the open camp provision.
 Mahcney denied that there was any consideration given the proposition of raising the strike. He said he was willing to meet the mine owners in an effort to come to some terms of settle ment. Walton F. Dowlen. vice presi- dent Of the Operators Association, said the operators stood exactly where they did at the beginning of the strike. ex- cept that the card system had been withdrawn.

 Tt is that or government owner ship with all the state of socialism which it involves and I have no doubt that government ownership of the rail- roads with the tremendous concentra- : tion of power it would involve would endanger the republic. We have enough concentrated power in Wash ington now. To increase it so that the executive should control the enormous body of civic servants which would necessarily follow would result in mak- ing the president more powerful than any king who lives today.
 "I believe it is possible to enforce the present antitrust law, but we need d new law more specific to bring all capital within its provisions. I think the violation of law is by no means so fashionable as it was formerly.
 Now we are not going to have bus mess millennium but we shan have a quickened public conscience. The peo- pie have walked up. We have just had a panic and some of the gentlemen who have felt the lash of public opin- ion have been only too glad to attrib- ute it to the legislation to which I have referred. The charge is unfounded. It is due. if students of finance can be trusted. to the gradual exhaustion of all the free capital of the world in enterprises which have not been so profitable as it was expected they would be. Now We must wait, and the whole world must wait until we earn more free capital"

COMMITTED TO LIFE
IMPRIsoNMENT

AT a special meeting Of the state
board of ~pardons, held at Carson City
Thursday, the sentence of Buckaroo
Jack, convicted in Humboldt county
of the crime of wife murder and sen
fenced to be hanged yesterday, was
committed to life imprisonment.
The principal ground for clemency
was the fact that, in killing his squaw,
the condemned man was exercising a
p~rerogative granted him by the
"unwritten law" of savagedom,
which permits a husband to dispose Of
an unfaithful wife in any manner he
may see fit, killing preferred.
While this heroic punishment for
infdelity could hardly be tolerated By
the white mans law, the custom had
the effect, in this instance, of saving
the Indian 3 neck.
The action of the board of pardons
in the premises will no doubt meet
with general approval.

Secretary Loeb
Especial Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Nov. lit is a
mighty inviting picture Dame Rumor
paints for us, that of Theodore Rooso.
welt, William ]. Bryan and John w.
Kern as members of the United States
senate, but it is not to be realized yet
awhile, at least. The Dame had it
planned that Kern should succeed
James A. Hemenway and Roosevelt
Thomas G. Plat on March 4 next, and
that two years later Bryan should join
them as the successor of Elmer J.
Burkett. Kern may come from Ind
ana to the senate, but Roosevelt is
out of it, 80 far as succeeding Plat is
concerned. 1t is learned from the
"highest authority" and in the past
that has not infrequently mean Secre-
tary Loeb, that election as Platt's
successor does not fit in with Mr..
Roosevelt's plans.
Besides, President Roosevelt is COM
mitted to Elihu Root, his chief of
cabinet, as the next senator from New
York. Mr.. Roosevelt frankly admits
that the success of his administration
has been due in a large measure to the
help of two men, William Howard Taft
and Elihu Root. Taft has had his re-
ward in election to the presidency,
and Mr.. Roosevelt feels that he is
bound by every moral obligation ID
further any ambition of Mr.. Roots
and that ambition just now leads to
the senstorship.
1t will be remembered that NJ.
Roosevelt original plan of reward was
to elect Root as his successor in the
White House and appoint Taft CHIEF
justice of the supreme court. Fate AM
the American people stepped in and
decreed otherwise. With that sagacitv
in politics that amounts almost -
second sight, the president discerned
that Root would not be strong as a
presidential candidate, and though
Root was ambitious for the nomination
and Roosevelt was under heavy obliga
ton to help him, he had the courage to
throw the weight of his influence to
Taft. This step was taken only after
many long and earnest conferences with
the secretary of state, and Root at last
came to view the situation as the
president saw it and accept the verdict
with good grace. Now Root wants to
be senator, and all men must see how
impossible it is for the president not
to give him eeery assistance in his
power, to say nothing of the impossi-
bility of Mr.. Roosevelt himself accept
ing the Office.

ENTIRE VILLAGE BUILT
OF CLAY HOUSES
Novel Project Started in New Jersey
Fire Danger Averted

An unusual undertaking, the build
ing of a fireproof village, is in progress
At Mountain Station, on the border line
between Orange and South Orange, N.
J. Six houses are well on the way t.
completion already, and they are al
made of burned clay in the form Of
hollow blocks. The roofs are OF either
asbestos shingles or slate.
Nowhere else in the country, 1t 10
said, are there 90 many fireproof dwell
ing houses in one group. The scheme il
the result Of the study Of improved
methods of construction within the
last few years.
The heirs of the Henry A. Page es.
tate are carrying through the undertake
ing. One Of the Page heirs who has
been interested, for several years, in
developing the properties Of the estate,
formerly put up houses Of reinforced
concrete. Recently he retained an en-
gineer to make . special investigation
Of fireproof materials and building
methods, for the purpose Of comparison.
The consequence of the investigation
was that terra Gotta blocks, instead Of
concrete, were chosen for the jersey
dwellings. Squires and Wynkoop and
Rossiter and Wright are the architects.
Each Of the houses now being built
at Mountain Station has eight or ten
rooms. All partitions, a. well u tho
floors and outside walls, are Of terra
Gotta, 30 that a fire could not spread
from one room to another. In one OF
the houses il q floor with . span Of
eighteen feet, the longest span eve
made with this type Of construction.
Altogether, the National Fr~eproofing
Company has furnished nearly 10000
square feet of the hollow blocks for the
six buildings.

NOT A SECTIONAL ISSUE

In its last issue the Seven Trough'
District News says:
1.-The result of the county cleo
zion on Tuesday last was consid-
cradle. of a surprise to the resi-
dents OF the Seven Troughs dis
trict. A local candidate had
been placed on the Democratic
ticket and the northern end of the
county pledged to his support. The
returns showed conclusively that
instead of his party working for
him as agreed, he was numerically
knitted. This was not done be-
cause he was not the best man for
the place, for it is conceded that
no BETTER man could be found. 1t
developed that our candidate had
to be sacrificed in order to keep the
balance OF power away from Love
lock and the Seven Troughs dis
trict. However, times change,
and next election it is more than
probable that the northern end of
the county will have cause to re-
greet the policy it has adopted"
1t is very unlikely that the defeat OF
Mr.. Cooper was due to any question OF
The only remarkable
thing about his candidacy was the
number of votes he received.
Before election it was not thought by
the shrewdest politicians that
he would poll more than % or 80 per
cent of the total vote cast.
Sheriff Lamb is one of the best
known and most popular men in the
and it is generally conceded
that he is perhaps the most efficient
sheriff in the state. Had his opponent
also been a resident of this end of the
the result would have been the
same, with this one difference: M.
Lamb would have received his full
party vote in the south end of the
instead of being slaughtered, as
was the case on November 3.
Had Sheriff Lambs only qualifca
ion for the %shrievalty been the fact
hat he was a resident of this end OF
The county, he would have been de-
1t seems a trife inconsistent for d
to rejoice over the fact
that a certain candidate received nearly
all the votes of his own section, ire
of party, and then, in the
same breath, complain of treachery
because his opponent run equally well
in his own locality.
S~ectionalism may mean something +,
the residents of Loveloek and Seven
Troughs, but the returns of the last
election fairly show that it was lost
sight of by the voters of this end OF
the county.
