ECUADOR AND PERU.

II would be gratifying 10 have a CON
frmation Of the report that Peru and
Chilli are coming TO an amicabIe settle
ment Of the dispute over TaCna and
africa, partly for their own sakes and
partly because Of the quietus which that
achievement would administer 10 the al
together unnecessary jingoism of Ecua-
cor. So far as the world is informed.
there is no Justification for the war fever
which appears TO have seized upon the
people Of that country. On the contrary.
there are the strongest Of reasons for.
tranquility and peace and n serene
awaiting Of events.
The exacerbation of relations between
Ecuador and Peru may be regarded as n
sort Of by-product OF the amazing specu-
iation-in india rubber which has for some
months prevailed in Europe and else
where. The boundary dispute between
the two is old. dating from the erection
Of Ecuador into an Independent republic
in 1880. But IL lay quiet in a particularly
dusty pigeonbole for many years. 4
few years ago. when the demand for
rubber began enormously la increase. the
value Of the one hundred thousand
square miles in dispute was seen TO be
great, and practical steps toward an adj
justment were taken. The kiag OF Spain
was asked To arbitrate the matter. and
he agreed 10 do 50. IL is probable that
his award would have been received i'm
good faith and would have settled the
whole matter had il not been for this
rubber boom which inflamed the Ecua-
dorian mind with eXtravagant cxtimates

BALTIMORE. Md. March 24-John
Henry Bethea, the angular South Caro-

train was rushing through Newark,
Del. last night, was at the Johns Hop

early in the morning and made his ap-

Bethea wandered around the city, and
il is believed drank heavily up TO the
time he entered the station, shortly af-
ter $40. The train left Baltimore at

Bethea was a patient at Johns Hop

he spent twenty days in the institution
At that time, he. IL is reported. was
treated for abdominal and nervous
troubles. but there was apparently no
sign of insanity.
When Bethea first arrived at the hos
pital the office was not yet open. At
the arrival Of the first clerk the man
rushed up to the desk and in eX-
cited tones stated that he was sick
and wanted to see a physician at once.
When told he could not see a physician
Immediately, he paced up and down,
talking incoherently. He apOlogized

shortly after O'Clock, without a
word. he bolted out of the building and
disappeared. When Bethea was
patient in the hospital in January he
was perfectly rational. but the strange
actions of the man yesterday lead to
the belief the southerner was undoubt-
edly insane.

PROTECTION FOR
JUDGE COCHRAN
Man Who Annoyed Him is
Held Under $1,000 Peace
Bond

City Court Judge Cochran was the
complainant in City Court this morning
against Charles Hultberg, charged
with breach Of the peace After Judge
Cochran had testified that Hultberg
threatened him at his Office yesterday,
Deputy Judge Joslyn puaced Hultberg
under a peace bond OF $1,000, despite
the plea of Hultberg's attorney. John
r. Malloy, that TTultberg had been
foolish rather than offensive, in accost-
ing Judge Cochran.
Judge Cochran testified that he fined
Hultberg yesterday morning for con-
tempt for not obeying an order OF the
Judge on December 21 to place an in
corrigble son In an institution.
Yesterday afternoon Hultberg. he
said. went to his Office in the Church
Building. at Tenth and Market streets,
and used abusive language The judge
said Hultberg refused to leave when
ordered and followed the judge into
the street, where he swore at him and
promised to "fix'' him.
Hultberg denied either swearing at
the Judge or Threatening him. His
reason in trying TO see the Judge, he
said, was to get an understanding as
to what he was TO do with his son.
Huitberg said he followed Judge Coch-
ran because the judge wouldn't listen
to him.
After commenting upon the necessity
of protecting judges from excitable and
angry persons, Deputy Judge Joslyr
announced the peace bond.
