AGREE ON RULES OF
MARATIME WATER

Washington, December 13.-The declara-
ton signed by the delegates of the United
States to the International naval confer
ence, held in London, last winter, and
sent to the Senate by President Taft
shortly after his Inauguration, was made
public by the Senate In executive ses-
sion today.
This declaration relative to the laws of
maritime water includes GA rules covering
the subjects of blockade in time of war;
contraband of war, non-neutral service
destruction of neutral prizes, transfer of
flags, etc.
1t is believed by the American repre-
sentatives at the conference that the
declaration defining the relations between
belligerents and neutrals will remove
many of the reasons for international
friction and misunderstanding which
have frequently existed.
In this declaration ten leading powers
have reached an agreement upon matters.
which Il left to divergent practice and
solely to national prejudice would havs
caused much trouble, in the opinion of
the American deleaates.

Whereupon the clever clerk, who was
well onto his job, quietly laughed and

he balanced upon his agile fingers "a very

After which l eavesdropped no longer
since l thought the crucial moment had

At a nearby counter another young

people worrying over things for Him

turity, where a rank outsider filled the
horizon to the exclusion of everything
and everybody else.
AS l started home I walked behind a
perfectly good married couple, who looked
as if they had just pulled off fight about
Christmas shopping. when my thoughts
were verified in these words:
NOW, I'm not going another step until
you help me to decide something for us

to afternoon teas with his wife?'
And they parted-not for good-just tenn
porarily, and I went on wondering what
sort of Christmas atmosphere would hover
around the dinner table that evening.

WANT TO REFORM
ARMY AND NAVY

washington, December 13.-Because it
is believed that total abstinence Ia the
army and navy may best be prompted
through the Young Mems Christian assc-
citation, a delegation was named today
by the Reformers' conclave, now in seq

navy departments Of the association TO
inaugurate such campaign at once.
A committee also was named TO call
upon President Taft to congratulate him
on his demand for a reform of judicial
procedure in this country, so as to bring
about the reduction to a minimuIQ of the
laws delay. Resolutions were adopted.
urging the President to select federal
judges and United States attorneys who
would use their full power to accomplish
the end sought.

Nowadays in the shops. when you see

She appeared to be talking to herself,

SLOW PROGRESS IN
REELFOOT CASES

Union City, Tenn, December 13.-Slow
progress was made today in the trial of
Garrett johnson and Arthur Gloar for the
alleged murder of Capt. Quentin Rankin.
Court did not convene until afternoon
and only three minor witnesses were
heard.
T. J. Burchard, who was guest at
Wards hotel the night Captain Rankin
was murdered, told the story of events
which led up to the murder itself. He
was one of the first to reach the spot
where Captain Rankin was killed, half
mile from the hotel.
Dolph Hicks, a self-confessed member
of the Reelfoot lake night riders organ
ization, related how Captain Rankin and
Colonel Taylor were captured. He re-
manned with the horses ridden by the
band and did not witness the actual
crime.
Newt Armstrong, the last witness ex-
amined, shed no light on the murder, SIM
ply furnishing detailed description of
the country surrounding the scene of tho
crime.

NAVY DEPARTMENT
Is EMBARRASSED

Washington, December 13-By putting
the Standard Oil company on the we

the agricultural department has embar-
raised the navy department. The lat
ter prides itself on being conducted on
an equally high moral plane with the
war department, but in this matter Of
freeing itself entirely from any sugges-

countered something of a difficulty.
The use OF oil is becoming more general
in the navy and 1t Is essential that a
uniform quality be secured, wherever
purchased. This is not easy unless buy
