MY Dear Mr. Marburg.
II beg to say to your guests that
~svmpathize very strongly with their
object and believe that the proposed
organization is adapted to render q
great public service. | assume that
the new organization is to have a def
mite, specific object which may be in,
dicated by emphasizing the WORD
judicial in its title to indicate a dis
tinction between that kind of settle
ment Of international disputes and or
dinary arbitration. as il has been nm
derstood in the past n is generally
understood now.
II assume that you are going to
urge that disputes between nations
shall be settled by judges acting under
the judicial sense Of honorable obli-
cation with a judicial idea of impair
TALLY rather than by diplomats act
ing under the diplomatic ideas Of hon
orable obligation and feeling bound
TO negotiate a settlement rather than
10 pass without fear or favor upon
questions OF fact and law. 1t seems
TO me that such a change in the fun
damentai idea of what an arbitration
should be is essential to any very great
further extension of the idea of arbi-
tration.
II have been such surprised. how

are OF ability and force who do not
agree with this idea at all. particu-
larry people on the other side of the
Atlantic. The extraordinary scope OF

accustomed us 10 sec the operations

between sovereign states submitted to
judges who apply the test of conform
itv TO established principles and rules
of conduct embodied in our constitu-
tions. II seems natural and proper TO
us that the conduct of government eff
feeting substantial rights and not de-
pending ufbn questions of policy,
should be passed upon by the courts
when occasion arises. 1t is easy. there
fore, for Americans TO grasp the idea.
that the same method of settlement
should be applied to questions grow
ing out of the conduct of nations and
not involving questions of policy.
I'm countries, however, where the
courts exercise no such power, the
idea is quite "a new one to most peo-
pie, and, il it is to prevail. there must
be a process of education. Such a
process naturally receive its chief inn
pulse IN the United States and. I
hope your new society will give such
an impulse with vigor and accurate
direction.

Confidence in Management.

The tenor of the addresses indicated
"a confidence in the present and past
arrangements of the order, and that
the present difficulties were due to
technicalities that would easily and
promptly be Strengthened out. There
are seventy-eight lodges and 1878
members of the order in the District
of Columbia, and the value of its local
property is estimated at $So,OOO
A suspension of the business Of the
order was directed in Virginia by the
insurance department October 20, and
the local insurance department fol-
lowed suit with an order fOr the sus-
pension Of business here The Vir-
ginia order of suspension forbade the
consideration of applications for mem
bership and the initiation of new
members within the State while the
order remains effective. It added that
the order would remain effective until
the affairs of the Savings Bank of the
True Reformers and of the Reformers'
Mercantile and Industrial Association
are lquidated, either by order of court
or otherwise, or until the money on
deposit in the bank and other assets
of the Grand United Order of True
Reformers in the possession of the
bank were returned TO the association.

The Public School Athletic League
The Public School Athletic League.

The Public School Athletic League
The Public School Athletic League.
was successfully launched at a meet
ling of teachers in the NJ Street High
School Tuesday. The purpose of the
League was clearly outlined by z. B.
Henderson, to whom the Board of
| Education gave permission to organ
ize. Assistant Superintendent Bruce
presided.
The purpose of the League IS to
encourage manly participation in ath-
Iletic sports by the boys of the public
schools, especially the elementary
schools. Such a league as has been
| formed will work wonders in the for
nation of good habits of loyalty and
discipline among the boys. The va
rious stunts which the boys will be
called UP to perform will appeal to
| all of them-not merely to the record
breaker. As it now stands, there are
but few athletics. especially within a
school, in which all the boys can take
part. The only physical training
which the boys are now afforded is
that in which they go through with
the girls of the classroom.
The League will also seek to take
hold of the OvergrOwn boys in the
graded schools, who are anxious TO
withdraw because they are overgrown,
and provide them with an incentive
for further development, mentally
and physically. The athletics will ap-
peal to the boys, not from the stand
point of breaking a record made by
the exceptional boy, but equalling or
surprising the record (if such it may
be called made by the average boy.
Such means will prevent the boys
from becoming discouraged. The
League, however, does not propose to
discriminate against the girls. They
will be permitted, under certain re-
strictions, to engage iii games, under
the supervision of female member of
the physical training department.
Public School Athletic Leagues are
now in operation in the following
cities, in connection with the Board
of Educations of these cities: New
Orleans, Baltimore, Seattle, New
York, Newark, Troy, Buffalo, Cleve-
land, Birmingham, Tacoma, San Fran
cisco, Kansas City and Cincinnati.
The constitution was adopted and
the following officers elected: PTes1-
dent, James z. Walker, Supervising
Principal of the 18th Division; Vice
President, G. c. Wilkinson; Secretary,
z. B. Henderson,: Treasurer, Miss A.
F. Thompson, Principal of the Slater
School.
The President appointed the follow
ing committees.

The next meeting of the League
will be held Tuesday next in the study
hall of the NJ Street High School.
At that time final plans for the winter

Parishes All Represented.

It was a fact noted by many that
not single parish in which the So
ciety is represented failed to contrib
ute as large a delegation as it had
promised, and many were far larger
than was at first thought possible The
first estimates of the numbers of the
marchers were therefore revised. and
it is now believed there were more
than 6,OOO in line
The line of march embraced B
street northwest from East Capitol
street, Pennsylvania avenue to 18th
street, thence past the White House
to 18TH street, and to the Monument
grounds.
The paraders halted when the Mon
ument grounds were reached, and at
signal from the chief marshal ranks
were broken, and in orderly array the
hosts came to attention at AIS o'clock,
facing the small platform where the
speakers were assembled. It is said
the outdoor meeting was the largest
ever held under the auspices of a re-

Resolved to Stand Together, Believing
Suspension Was But Temporary.


Suspension Was But Temporary.
By unanimous vote the members of
the Washington Division of the Uni
ted Order of True Reformers, at a
largely attended meeting in True Re.
formers Hall, I2th and y streets
northwest, Sunday evening, decided to
stand together and await develop
ments. Word had been received from
w. P, Burrell, secretary of the Grand
Fountain at Richmond, Va, that the
suspension here of the business of the
order, due to a suspension of its IL
cense by the insurance departments of
both Virginia and the District of Co.
lumbia, was but temporary, and that
within short time matters would be
adjusted and business renewed.
w. r. Griffin, chief of the Washing
ton division, presided at the meeting,
and addresses were made by J. H.
Hunter, of Pittsburg; Rev. ]. w. How
ard, pastor of Zion Baptist Church;
Rev. w. D. Jarvis, pastor of the New
Bethel Baptist Church; Rev H. K.

the Monument.
In solid columns, eight abreast,
5000 members of the Holy Name So
ciety of the archdiocese of Baltimore
marched along Pennsylvania avenue
Sunday afternoon as d public protest
against profanity and immortality.
The presence of the apostolic dele
gate and other dignitaries Of the Cath
olic Church lent impressiveness to
the demonstration, and the spectacle
on the Monument grounds, when the
marchers gathered to hear COmmendd
ton by priest and layman, was in
spring.
Along the Avenue from the Peace
Monument to 18th street thousands Of
spectators watched the parade, and
by their silence paid an eloquent trib-
ute TO the purposes of the Society.
At the head of each parish delega-
ton marched a standardbearer, carry
ing a religious banner, while each
crusader waved a small pennant bear
ing the title of the Order. Strict
military discipline was observed and
the bands played nothing but patriotic
and sacred airs.
According to those clergymen who
had reviewed similar professions re-
Gently in Pittsburg, Boston and other
cities. the Washington parade, in
cluding the delegations from Balti-
more and Alexandria, was the most
notable.

Expressing the clerical view OF the
event, Rev. Father Fitzgerald, the first
speaker, said:
There is an inspirational side to
this event which should be empha-
sized. By the great parade you have
given a public expression and pub
lie avowal of your Christian faith.
You have declared your allegiance to

Result Satisfactory.

w. R. Griffin, of the Washington di-
vision, said Sunday evening the unan-
imOus vote of the members to stand
by each other he regarded as a vote
OF confidence in the management of
the order. The meeting, he said, was
called to advise the members of the
condition of affairs and to ascertain
their sentiment. The result he re-
garded as entirely satisfactory.

Changes Presented.

The most notable changes are
summed up as follows:
In Ohio Democratic Legislature
has been elected, insuring a Demo-
cratic successor to Senator Dick, Re
publican, and the plurality of Gov.
Harmon is increased to 10000.
The West Virginia Legislature is
Democratic and will elect a Demo
cratic Senator to succeed Senator
Scott, Republican.
In Indiana the Legislature, which
chooses a successor to Senator Bev-
eridge, IS in doubt, with the Demo
Gratis claiming a majority of II and
the Republicans maintaining that Bev-
eridge will have a small margin.
Iowa is still uncertain, with both
sides claiming the Governorship.
The Pennsylvania Legislature is
safely Republican and will elect a Re-
publican successor to Senator Oliver.

party. The House is Democratic and
the Senate almost gone.
Champ Clark probably will succeed
Speaker Cannon.
Democrats gain eight seats in Sen
ate

Congress.
Republican Senators assured from
Delaware, Massachusetts,, Rhode

The sweep of the political tidal wave
which rolled over the country Tues
day is further emphasized by addi-
tional returns and revised figures at
hand to-day.
The Democratic majority in the
House of Representatives will be at
least AZ, and possibly more, as COM
pared iwth the present Republican ma
jority of 43.
Added to the reversal of the lower
branch of Congress, the returns show
the Republican majority Of 20 in the
United States Senate rapidly ap-
preaching the vanishing point, al
though the Republicans are now rea-
sonably assured Of 48 Senators, or one
more than the necessary majority,
with a number of States still in doubt.
