PEACE CONGRESS
OUTLINES FUTURE
DR.. DAVID STARR JORDAN PRE-
SIDES AT SECOND SESSION
NEXT STEP TOWARD HARMONY
is GENERAL THEME
Edwin Mead of Boston Also Discusses
Arrest of Armament and Mis-
sourian Denounces Ma
tional Customs

CHICAGO, May 4.-Having discussed
the present aspect of the peace move
ment from various viewpoints, includ-
ing those of the politician, the business
man and the educator, delegates to the
second peace congress considered to-
night plans for the future.
DR.. David Starr Jordan presided, the
general topic being Next Steps IN
Peace Making"
Edwin d. Mead of Boston discussed
"The Arrest in Competitive Aiming In
cidental to The Hague Movement, and
Congressman Richard Bartholdt of Mis-
souri, referred with sarcasm to the IN
consistency of race that insisted that
the Individual should settle his differ
ences in the courts, while nations set
tied by the arbitrament of war.
1.-THE world surely will see during this
century an international police, but
rival navies and armies are doomed.
These monstrous anachronisms of civ
ilization must be turned into beneficent
messengers of commerce."
This was the declaration of Mrs.
Lucia Ames Mead of Boston in an adj
dress at the Woman's session of the
National Peace congress. She spoke
on give Dangerous Fallacies," and
continued:
Human nature is changing, but
whether it changes or not the world
will not much longer tolerate two ma
tions making a cockpit of the peoples
highways and dragging neutral nations
into commercial loss.
Few VIII End War
"A comparatively few influential per-
sons in a few influential countries can
and will end international war. 1t is
chiefly a question of craftsmanship"
Discussion of the commercial and in
dustrial aspects of universal and per-
manent peace was the feature of to-
days session. Special sessions were
set apart for consideration of woman's
work in the interests of peace, and for
the part which universities and col
leges have played in the great problem.
In explanation of the attitude of
business men Marcus M. Marks, presi-
dent of the National association of
Clothiers of New York, said:
1.-THE merchants of the world have
done much indirectly to bring about
the improved relations between the
various nations Let them now help
finance the peace movements by prac-
tical, unselflsh cooperation in a great
cause.
1.-THE terrible power of destruction,
now possible through modern war
agencies, and the still undeveloped air
warships force upon all men the alb
surdity of settling international difficult
ties by mutual annihilation.
THE idealists may at last be Joined
by hard headed men of affairs whose
daily cry is for results. Business men
ell want peace"
Another speaker was Prof. William L.
Hull of Swarthmore.

indisposed when his name was reached
on the program and his paper was

BULL CAMPAIGN RESUMED;
JULY WHEAT UP FOUR CENTS
Firm of Bartlett, Patten G. Co. Makes
Heavy Purchases of
Option

CHICAGO, May 4-July wheat on
the board of trade today made a sensa-
tionally bullish showing, advancing
from SLIP, the low price of the day, to
$1.16. at which the market closed. This
marked an advance Of 1893 ga cents.
May closed at $128.
The market has been advancing
steadily for the last week, following the
spectacular decline which set afloat re-
ports that James A. Patten had
dropped out of the market. Today S
high prices were but 1 IA cents under
the best price of the bull campaign for
May and only 2 rs cents below the
July record.
Bartlett, Patten & Co., of which the
bull leader, James A. Patten, is a menu
Der, was credited today with selling
May on a moderate scale, but with
making heavy purchases of July.
Today's advance, on top of the
gradual gains of last week, are said to
indicate clearly that the bull campaign
which was alleged in many quarters to
be dead was only sleeping. The clos
ing figures today were 10 cents higher
than the bottom reached on April q.

Litigation

NEW YORK, May A fight over
the estate of Dr. Thomas w. Evans,
the famous dentist, who assisted EN-
press Eugene to escape from her
palace in Paris at the time of the

seventy-five lawyers to the supreme
court yesterday to hear the arguments.
DR.. Evans, native of Philadelphia,
left about $4,000,000 of which 100000
was to go to his heirs and relatives,
and the balance to found the Thomas

was compromised by giving them an
additional 100000.
This settlement was effected with all
the heirs except two, J. Roland Enos
and Juliette G. Henderson, who have
since died. The arguments were to aid
in determining what amount should be
paid to the estates of the two de-
ceased heirs.

chief of the bureau of chemistry, de-
partment of agriculture, has come 10

and fruits, only very small percentage
even contain any substance whatever
except food, and, perhaps a little salt
or sugar. l think this fact ought to be

WOMEN ABUSED

cents day for each refugee in Tarsus,
The government allotment is being
supplanted from funds of the American
mission. The local officials say they
are soon to discontinue their contribu-
lions, and if this is done there will be a
famine.
The yard of the American mission
house looks like prison penitentiary.

war at Mersina came up to Tarsus with
a number of officers for visit he called
at the mission house.
INV God!" he said, this is terrible!
Where do all these people sleepg
The men wandered around all night
trying to keep warm. The women and
children sleep at night on the floors of
the schoolrooms. Few of them nave
beds.
In the meantime the Moslems in the
wasted country roundabout are pastur-
turing their horses and cattle on the
green crops of their Armenian VIC
tins.
