Chicago, May 3.--Hon. Richard
Bartholdt, member of Congress from
Missouri, at National Peace Confer
ence, today delivered the following
address:
The world Is governed not by
men, not by parties. but by ideas.
The idea which gave birth to his
notable Congress IS the greatest NOR
al issue now confronting this, as
well as all other nations of the
earth, and 1t is not my optimism. but
my deliberate Judgment which
prompts me to believe that when
this idea has oW,e penetrated the
minds and hearts of the masses, It
vii sweep the world
"our great difficulty Is in making
people understand 1t. The cuase of
justice which we plead is usually
wrapped up in large words: It pre-
supposes some knowledge of law
and is, on the whole, so compli-
Gated as to BATTLE a common school
education. And what is worse. 1t
is Invisible. You cannot see or
grasp it. From childhood on man
is constantly impressed with the
splendid paraphernalia of war. As
children we play with toy soldiers;
in school, We find war glorifed in
the text boks We have to read; as
youths we are taught that patriotism
requires our joining the militia, and
as men our eyes are dazzled with
shining uniforms and our ears are
filled with marital music. We see
splendid monuments erected to per-
petuate the memories of war, and
lest We forget, our great battleships,
those monsters of the sea are being
sent around the world so that the
newspapers may be enabled to re-
mind us of their existence every day
for the period Of whole year.
''Against all these Vaccinations
which impress the minds of the peO-
pie, through eyes and ears, with the
glory OF militarism and war, the
friends OF worldwide peace are at a
great disadvantage. for their weapon
consists simply in an appeal to
reason and their progress exists only
in the minds of men. But despite
this disadvantage, let me tell you
confdentially, that all the clap-trap
of milltarism and war will avail
nothing in the end as against the re-
sisteless force of our ideas.
what then is our idea 1t is
that our pea;e with foreign nations
shall be secured in exactly the same
manner as our domestic peace Is Sc
cured, namely, by referring all con-

 Bremen who penetrated to. the fifth floor were driven back by the flames, counted four bodies there and said there were likely more.
 The scene within the burning tene- ment was one of indescribable confu- sion. as the flames and smoke drove the entrapped people into frenxied att tempts to save themselves and their children.
 The most dramatic incidents of the fire occurred on the street side where fear-crazed mothers, convinced they could not be saved themselves. threw their babies from the windows and Are escapes. shouting frantically to firemen and policemen to catch the lite tie ones. All told a dozen infants were thus thrown and safely caught.

FLETCHER R 0N TARIFF

 HUMBER RETAINED
MT. Freseher DeeIared With Much Emphasis That Free Lumber WoulA Bring Rain To Many
 southern People.

washington. April sO-Eavoring a tariff for revenue only, Senator FIetcher of Florida, today spoke in favor of retaining the tax on lumber now provided by the Dingley bill. on long staple cotton and other soutfern products.
 Yellow pine, he said. was found only in Democratic states, but he wished that fact to be no argument against permitting 1t to be taxed for revenue, 50 that 1t might receive the benefit of any incidental protection that would come to it.
 Declaring that the sharpest competi- ton exists among the dealers in lum- Der, Mir. Fletcher said that free lumber would bring ruin to many people in the South.
 frhe mills" said Mir. Fletcher. "are im position to force down the price of demoratic cotton whenever they like and the farmer Is at their mercy so long as they can lay in a supply of foreign cotton"
 England, he said is making vast im- provements in the valley of the Nile re- zion to monopolize the long cotton ifl- dustry of the world and for this reason the tariff became an important matter for the cotton producers
 Making strong plea for the protec- ton of southern products he insisted that there should be no sectional in- fluences in determining what industries should receive the benefit of the, tariff.
 Reviewing the turpentine and rosip industry. the former being valued at t14,000.000 and the latter S1g,O0O GOO he asked where any protection would be found for those products.

 Mrs. Boyle was quite surpriaed by the unexpected continuance Of her husbands case, but refrained from making any comment. The reasons given for the continuance were the Ill., ness of the wife Of W. s. Anderson, attorney for the defense. and the nvs- terfous disappearance Of the original Information against Boyle. But there !s prevalent belief among the people here that neither side is anxious for an immediate trial The members of the Whitla family are greatly dls- pleased because of the postponement.

A.. were oreptfcaliy reviewed today on the wit neeo stand by Thornton Jenkins Hains, the defcndant's brother. at the trial befofe Justice Garretson in the supe- rtof Court here.
 Thornton Hains was called as wit ness by the defense. shortly after court opened today on the conclusion of Dis 'trict Attorney Dewitt's cross examina- fion Of General Hains.
 John F. Mcintyre. chief counsel for the defsnse, carefully piloted the wit his movements and those of the cap tain ea that fatefui day up to the time they aehed the yacht club float where Annik Nas shot. But at this point. the lawyer suddenly broke of without askinu the witness single question tn regard to the shooting.
 It vas evidently the purpose of the defense to let the prosecution bring out the details of the killing on cross ex- animation. This turn in affairs was executed SD unexpectedly by the army ofFicer.s counsel that 1t created consid- srabie confusion among the States forces.
 District Attorney Dewitt had not reached the day of the tragedy in his cross examination of Thornton Hains ct the close of the day's proceedings. The defendant's brother startled every one in court and brought upon him d severe reprimand from Justice 0ar- retson. At the beginning of his exam nation. he shouted at the top his voice Iin an attempt to echo the heart-rend- Ing cry of the captain on the night that his wife Claudia Hains, confessed to hira. as Is alleged her relations with Annis The witness was eager to 60 into many irrelevant details in answer to Mir. McIntyres questioning and was frequently cautioned to conflne himself strictly fo the questions.
 There was dramatic scene In court when the District Attorney. al the very beginning of his cross examir- ation. advanced toward the witness and said.
 ~On June l. 1901. did you shoot and kin one Edward HannIganr
 The lawyers for the defense were on their feet instantly. Mir. Mcintyre con- tended tbat the District Attorney ask ed Nthe question without any right knowing full we'll that Thornton Helms was exonerated of the charge of kilfins Haunigan at Fortress Monroe, Va.
 Justice Garretson ordered the ques' tion stricken from the record.
 The witness particularly emphasized that 1t was purely by accident that the captain met Annis at the yacht club.
