Judge Latssaw June 4.
Alleging error the attorneys set forth

That Judge Latshaw showed prejudice
against the defendant, and that he act
cd improperly toward DR.. Hyde's coun-
sci: that the court should have forced
the state to give to the defense the
letters passing between the prosecu-
ton and its scientists: that evidence
that was incompetent was admitted,
and that competent evidence was
barred.
DIR. Hyde's attorneys are Investigate
ing rurnor that one of the jurors said
before he was selected that he would

TO serve. This alleged incident is not
mentioned in the motion.

AN URGENT DEMAND.
FOR WORLD PEACE.

Mohonk Lake. n. Y. May 19.-The
Business Mems association of the Lake
Moh onk conference on international
arbitration representing between so
and 60 chambers of commerce in the
United States and Canada, this after
non adopted a declaration to be pre-
scented to the conference tomorrow, in
part as follows:
The business interests of the world
are keenly alive to the abnormal con-
ditions that from time to time destroy
the confidence of peoples and inter-
rupt the workings of their interde-
pendence. The greatest and most dis
tinctive of these are those of the ap-
prehension or the positive realization
of war. Nothing can be of greater i'm
portance than such agencies as will
prevent these conditions from arising
or will quickly end them whenever
they will appear.
Amongst these agencies, the first in
tual confidence and respect and beget
a love of justice and a devotion to
the right.
I'VE reaffirm our conviction that
interests are, and will in
continue to be, powerful
factor in preserving the peace of tn e
world. We hold that justice and right
eousness are perquisite conditions to
true business prosperity and while we
ecognize that arbitration of the dis
rutes between individuals and nations |
is the best means yet available for
settling them, we regard arbitration as
ut an intermediate station on the way
to the final contamination to be found
in an international union whose ar
bitTal court Of justice will be the final
court of the world. from whose de-
cision there can be no appeal"
DR.. Charles w. Eliot, president emer-
titus of Harvard, and Rear Admiral J.
B. Murdoch, U. S. N. addressed the con-
ference tonight.
DR.. Eliot said in part
On the whole, the only way in which
promoters of peace can at this mo-
ment make Roadway against the ap-
prehension of invasion is to urge the
making of arbitration treaties which
contain no exceptions and the estab-
lishm of a permanent court of ar
bitral justice. The reduction of arma-
ments on land must await the esta blish >
ment of such a supreme court unless
indeed, neighboring nations by twos or
threes can make local agreements for
reduction analogous to the inv aluable
agreement made in 1917 between the
United States and Great Britain con-
corning ornaments on the Great
Lakes

LIQUOR SUPPLY WILL
BE MUCH RESTRICTED

Washington, May establishments
in various cities of the country engaged
in the extraction of soakage from the
slaves of empty barrels that formerly
contained spirits are in danger of being
put out of business if a decision an
noInced today by Commissioner cabell of
the international revenue bureau be up
held.
The commissioner does not prohibit the
business entirely, but the restrictions i'm
posed are said to be such as to make
it's continuation practically impossible.
Affirmative proof is to be furnished the
internal revenue office as to the tax pay
ments of spirits contained in the slaves
of each package to be treated by the
soekage process the commissioner de-
Ginning to waive the requirements of the
law that such tax payments shall in all
cases be shown to collectors.

There have been severed things to trans

least of which is the reorganization of

CAUCUS CALLED ON
THE POSTAL BILL

washington, Mayfs.-The long expected
caucus of republicans of the House on
the subject of postal savings bank legis-
lation has been called for next Wednes-
day night. Representative Dwight of
New York, the whip of that side of the
House, began later today the circulation
of the petition for the call. As 50 names
were required there was no doubt that
the caucus would be held.
1t is the purpose of the republican
leaders to submit the bill as it came from
the committee on postoffices and post
roads to the caucus and allow 1t to be
amended there to whatever extent may
be necessary. When it Is brought into
the House it is expected the republicans
under special rule will endeavor to put
it through without amendment on the
floor.
Resistance to the programme is expect
ed not only from the democratic side,
but also from many republicans, who
are opposed to legsating in caucus, and
who desire to obtain votes in the House
on their own ideas on postal banks.
