Mohonk Lake. N. Y, May 2l.-The Afth annual Lake Mohonk conference on international arbitration, meetihS on the tenth anniversary of the open ing of the first Hague conrerence' .sa views with profound satisfaction the sienai advance of the cause of inter national justice during the decade. nro9ress unexampled in any previous nerlod of history. The memorao'e Achievements of this period are at oncs an inspfration and an imperative call to renewed efforts.
 which has been so conspicuously ana an honorabiy identified with the pro gressive policies of the Hague, prompt action toward perfecting the import ant measures therein inaugurated anu the complete development of the Inter- national court of arhitral justice:
 "We further urge the negotiation or a general treaty of arbitration between ali nations and look forward With in- craa sing hope to the day when treaties ana arbitration shall provide for me reference to The Hague of all inter national differences to be settled by regular diplomatic negotiation.
 "The clear logic of the Hague con :. vantlons prescribes the limitation and aradual reduction of the machinery or war bv the nations parties to those conventions corresponding to the de- vAIopment of the instrumcntalities or law and justice for the settlement of International difficulties. The great armaments of the nations. whose intot- erahie burdens prompted the. call to the drat Hague conference. have during the decade, increased so portentiously aa to have now become. as recently declared by the British foreign secre- tarv. a satire upon civilization.
 'aThey i'll the world with apprehen-
 l- mosphere unfavorabie to the system of arbitration and their drain upon the resources of the peoples has become so awhauetinR as to menace all national treasuries and check the social reforms and advance which the interests of humanity demand.
 "It is the opinion of this conference that the time has arrived for carrying into effect the strongly expressed de- sire of the two peace conferences at inc Hague that the governments "ex- anime the possibility Of an agreement as to the limitation of armed forces Lv Iand and sea. and of war budgots.' % study of this pressing question.

 Washington. May 2i.-(Special.l l-- During the tariff discussions so far this session great many articles of merchandise have been exhibited in the Senate chamber. People are won- dering if when the hosiery schedule Is reached. any of the Senators will bring to the front the various kinds of stockings It will not be surprising if they do. but just now the habitues of the galleries are prepared for any sort of exhibition.
 Senator Dolliver of Iowa was the first of the Senators to display sam pies. During his strong. and in some respects, sensational speech he Illus trated his arguments by holding in fulI view strips yf fancy colored cot- ton goods and curtains.
 Senator McCumber of North Dakota in urging lumber of afi grades be placed on the free list. had samples. Of course he did not bring boards and shingles into the chamber, but he ex- hibfted short-sawed specimens, both dressed and undressed.
 Senator Scott of West Virginia dis played so much glassware when he ticles on several desks. He is himself heavily interested in the manufacture of glass. and when 1t came to dis cussing technical points connected with that industry, was right at home.
 The other day Senator Shoot of Utah had on his desk an array of ra- zors. At times the debate on razors was highly amusing, for some of the Southern Senators could not help re- marking tha. in raising the duty on these keen cutters 1t was a blow aimed directly at the rank and file of the Re- publican Party in their section of country.

LrBERnAN COMMISSION.

 Monrovia, Liberia, Tuesday. May IS, via sierre Leone. May 21.-rhe mem- bers of the American Liberian Com mission. s. P. Faiker. D. J. Scott and WIT. George E. Sale, who arrived at Monrovia May 6 on board the scout cruiser Chester. have been busy with the preiiminaries to their investigation into conditions in the Liberian repub- lie. They are all in excellent health.
 Last Sunday the commissioners att tended the Methodist church and heard impressed with the reverence of the congregation and the dignity of the service. Sunday evening the visitors and a number of guests were. enter tained at an informal dinner by Ern- est Lyon, the American minister resi- dent an consul general. Speaking of Monrovia, one of the commissioners described it as southern city with puritanical atmosphere"
 May 10. Commander Henry B. Wilson of the Chester, and the members of the commission were received by Pres- ident Barclay and the members of the cabinet The Government has prom ised its hearty cooperation in the in- vestigation and the Legislature will be convened in special session to assist in the work. The night of the 10th there was an elabaGDte dinner at the American legation.
 On May I2 the President of the Re- public gave a formal reception in honor of the American visitors. All the leading men of Liberia were present. The commissioners who had been liv- ing on board the Chester have taken up their residence In Monrovia. This was done to avoid the necessity of going back and forth through the dangerous surf.
 The enthusiasm over the commission continues everywhere and the Euro pean residents are much interested in the investigation. The weather is beautiful.

MANY PAY TRIBUTE
FUNERAL SERVICES or H. H. ROC

The Services in the Church o< the Mes- siah Were Simple, But In,press-
 fve-B0dy Taken to

New York. May 2I.-The funeral of Henry 1T. Rogers. President of the Amaigamatsd Copper Company, and active head of the Standard oil Com pany, today brought together many men prominent in the business and financial districts of this city, to honor the memory of the man who had won their admiration not only for his un- usual energy courage and business ability, but because Of likeable quali- ties as an associate and friend.
 Although attendance at the services in the church of the Messiah at 1OSa. m. was limited to intimate business associates and personal friends. these included so many of the leaders of the New York business and financial world that their absence from their usual activities had a noticeable effect upon the business of, the financial district. Throughout the entire country. wher- ever the Standard oil Company had, a station or branch. there was . pause during the hours of the funeral to mark the passage of the First Vice. President of the company, and one of the men who had helped materially to make 1t a great organization. Orders had been issued last night that all op- erations of the company should cease between 10 and IF o'clock and these applied to every one of the 67.000 em- ployes-a condition which had not ex- isted in the giant corporation since its foundation more than thfrty-five years ago.
 John D.. Rockefeller could not at tend the funeral. as he Is in Hot Springs, Va. with Mrs. Rockefeller, whose convalescence from severe ill., ness would not permit him to leave her. He sent. however, long tele- gram to Mrs. Rogers, expressing his grief. The funeral cortege left the Rogers home at No. 2. East 7sth Street at s:30 a. m. and proceeded to the church of the Messiah in East 34th Street. where Rev. Robert Co1yer. pas tor emiritus, friend of the dead cap italist. conducted the funeral service according to the Unitarian forms.
 During the service . quartette from the Mendelssohn Glee Club sang sew erai selections, including the hymns. Lead, Kindly Light" Nearer My God to Thee" and Abide With Me"
 On the list of pail bearers were the names of William Rockefeller. John D. Archbold. E. T. Bedford. and James A. Moffett. of the Standard oil Com Twain), E.. H. Hartman, Ebert H. Gary. Melville E. Stone. James M. Beck. John D. Ryan. Charles A. Pea body. George W. Perkins Dr. c. c. Rice, Raymond Dupuy. Gen. James Jourdan and Col. A. G. Payne.

probably at that very moment some of the darkeys had raxors in their pock- cts as weapons of defense.
 Tn talking for the watch trust, Sem ator Lodge had before him all sorts of time pieces But he would not ad- claiming that it was in, the interest of an American industry and for the bcn- eft of the laboring man that the duty should be Jhigh.
 The discnssion of the hosiery and glove schedules promises to be s anil mated These articles are in such gem erai use that fall or rise in price is talked of from one end of the land to the other. Probably Congressman this session have received more urgent let ters on the subject of hosiery and gloves than on any other. In quite a number of the States there is a strong demand that the duties on hosiery be made high. particularly, in. those States in which a number of hosiery factories have been established within the past decade. Many of these are located in the South. But where one request comes from that section for . heavy duty on hosiery at least ten are re- ceived protesting against any raise.
 The outspoken Republican Senator from Minnesota, Mfr. Nelson, continues to make 1t uncomfortable for Mir. Aid- Ficn anu ttie assistant managers or the tariff bill. Mir. Nelson never loses an opportunity to whack them when they bring In the laboring man. He de- clares that the very moment the fram- CTS of the bill are cornered in an ar- gument they begin to howl about the working man. No less than half a dozen times he has taken pains to de- monstrate that the. law of supply and demand and not the tariff regulates wages in this and other countries. So far there are no indications that Senator Aldrich will not carry sub stantially an his points. The greatest danger confronting the regular organ ization Is the movement In regard to the income tax amendment. If this amendment should be adopted 1t Is con. ceded on all sides that many of the schedules would have to be rearranged. Much uncertainty exists as to how many votes can be secured for the amendment. The plan of MT. Aldrich and the other Republican members of the Finance Committee is to stave the matter of until the next session.

Tablet Taken Internally That Cures
 Piles.
 Piles (hemorrhoids) are getting more common every day, because of the un- natural way in which so many of us live. over-eating. overworkinR. taking little healthfui exercise. and driving the brain at the. expense of the body. Wdth indigestion and constipation. these causes bring about a congestion of the veins in the lower bowel a stagnation of blood, a fiabby condition of the bowel walls. and finally those stub born. painful, annoying little tumors called piles.
 As the cause Is inside, it is idle to expect a cure from ointments. suppos- itorfes. cutting. or other outward treatment.

simply calls upon his mother and talks
business. II the old lady lends a willing

the young man has no course left open
excepting 10 bow 70 the inevitable. AT
times. It is said. violence has been re-
sorted to. 70 drag an unwilling youth
20 the altar.

she does uIF her hair IN two gigantic
