A DREAM OF UNIVERSAL pEACI
SECRETARY KNOX MAKES eUo
oEsTloN TO OTHER NATIONS.
Sends Circular Note Proposing Estah
llshment Of Court Of ArbItral
Justice.

Washington, Jan. 6.-"Who sha
lead the world in the worlds deslre2
The United States government, 1t
expected, is soon to receive defnit
and Illuminating answer to that quei
ton from the great powers Of th
world.
Secretary of State Knox, something
more than a month ago, took the frs
step toward enlisting the sympathie
OF the leading nations of the globe To-
q realization Of the worlds persisten
dream Of universal peace.
The concrete proposition made Il
the powers by Secretary Knox is con
tanned in a circular note which suG
gests to them an agreement to estab
lish a court Of arbitral Justice.
The state department does not main
tain that this proposition, II agreed to
would at once secure universal peace
but that 1t certainly heralds the dawn
Of the peace Of the world.
AS explained by the officials Of thu
state department such Q court will, Il
established, secure to the world q
large a court whose powers and func
tons would be to settle all cases ariS
ing IN peace a. well as those incident
TO war.
ofElcIalS say that they are confident
Of favorable answers from . suficent
number Of the establishment Of such
q court.
One Of the ofIicials, competent II
speak said:
"0f course, great progress has bees
made BY The Hague peace conference
before which affairs relative to wal
can be regulated. 1t Is also true that
great strides have been made by con
ferences gathering in times Of pro
found peace. yet these conferences re
late largely to the regulation Of future
wars.
"Now, the great stride forward
which It Is understood President Taft
and Secretary Knox have made, il fol
q court which will handle affairs Of
peace among nations. If the plan
should be accepted by the powers, II
Is too obvious to need inSistence Of
speech that war would disappear.

HE THINKS WILL HAPPEN.
Believes 200 Years From Now World
VIII Be a Better Place In
Which to Live.

New York, Jan. Thomas A. Ed

now. In an interview published here
he says:
an 2110 by the cheapening of com
modltles, the ordinary laborer will live
as well as q man does now with $780,
900 annual income. Automatic ma
chinery and scientific agriculture will
bring about this result. There will be
no manual labor in the factories OF
the future. The men employed will
all be superintendent watching the
machinery to see that 1t works right.
"The work day will be eight hours
or less. 1t will be work with the brain
done in wholesome, pleasant surround
ings. Less and less men will be used
as an engine or as q horse
"The clothes Of the future, by the
way, will be SO cheap that every
young woman will be able to follow the
fashions promptly, and there will be
plenty Of fashions"

forester, and Alexander G. Shaw, as

followed their chief out of the gov
eminent employ.
Thoroughly indignant over the ac'
tion Of Mr.. Pinchot in Inducing Sena'

him in the senate yesterday, President
Taft would listen to no advice that
the forester's violation of executive 9r-
ders be overlooked pending the IN

Washington, Jan. S.-The cabinet
met and 1t was understood that the
action to DO taken in regard to the
fate Of Clifford Plnchot, chief forester,
was under consideration. Secretary
Of the Treasury MacVeagh cancelled
his proposed trip to Chicago, which
was to have kept him there till Sun
day. He aid not wish, It Is reported,
to miss the meetings at which Pin
chot's fate was to be decided and Pres
ident Taft wished to have all his ad'
visers present. Secretary Ballinger
attended the meeting, denying himself
to newspaper men. Pinchot, when
asked his views Of the crisis, said:
Il have q simple, well worn answer
for that: AS you may suspect, have
nothing to say"
0fHcial Washington was quiet on the
surface--tensely calm. awaiting the
storm. News Of the dismissal Of Gif-
ford Pinchot, chief forester, was ex-
Dected momentarily, however. Few to-
day look for anything but quick action
On Pinchot's letter to Senator Dolli-
yer, read In the senate, In which Pin
chct said that the presidents stand
with Attorney General Wickersham
against r. %. CLAWS, was mistake.
The announcement that President
Taft had cut the young millionaire
out Of the job for which he was ap-
pointed BY Roosevelt would mean
nothing short Of open parting between
Taft and Roosevelt according to the
latter's followers. The Pinchot case
Is the parting Of the ways between

The administration has been put on

fense, Of course, is that Of running
directly counter to the adminlstra.

came as a great shock to her family

she had been confined to her bed. A.
few months ago she became very much
better, was able to sit up and move
about the house. Six weeks ago she felt
strong enough to undertake the visit
to her daughter. She not only stood the
trip well but apparently was gaining
strength. Yesterday, however, the
heart weakened and she quietly passed
away.
The husband and son, Jesse l.. Grim
min of this city, left for North Jay
immediately on receipt of the news OF
her death and the body will be brought
to this city for burial Beside the hus-
band and son as mentioned above, two

Harbor and Mrs. Ella Reid of North
Jaw. at whose home she died. and five
grandchildren survive. Funeral ar
