THREE COUNTRIES
FOR ARBITRATION
France as Well as England Is In on
Taft's Great Plan to do Away
With the Horrors
Of War.
JAPAN WILL BE NEXT
II Is Rumored That Japanese Ars
Anxious to Join In the Nesotla-
tons for Arbitration
Treaty.

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-The prin-
ciple of arbitration Of practically all
disputes between nations was submit
ted by Secretary Of State Knox to the
British and French ambassadors at
Washington in the draft Of conven-
tion to serve as basis Of negotiar
tions.
The fact that this world movement
would be inaugurated with France as
we'll as Great Britain came as great
surprise. 1t generally was indicated
that the United States and England
alone were concerned in the agree
ment.
The document has received the ap-
proval of the president and his caba-
net.
Changes were made in the arbitra-
ton treaties by eliminating the ex-
ceptions Questions Of vital interest
and national honor" This elimination
is the real accomplishment of the pro-
posed treaty The exceptions men
toned are found in all arbitration
treaties and have constituted the chief
obstacle to the principle.
Recognizing that there may be
questions which no people would be
willing to arbitrate, the tentative
draft provides that such differences
1 shall be referred to commission. The
treaty will bind the disputants to ar
bitration in case the commission so
4 declares.
Arbitration will be the last resort
after two countries have found 1t i'm
possible to dispute through diplom-
! acy 1t is proposed that arbitral dif-
ferences be submitted to The Hague
tribunal unless some other tribunal is
created or selected. The submission
| of the drafts of Great Britain and
France mars the actual beginning OF
negotiations 1t has been rumored
recently that Japan was anxious to
Join in the negotiations but SO far no
formal discussion of the subject with
the country has occurred.

Election of Lorimer to the United
States Senate Would Not Have
Occurred Without
These Two.
COMMITTEE REPORTED
Illinois Legislature Investigation Re
port Gives Lee-way For SEN
ate to Reopen the Case
Again.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 1S.-Sena-
tor Lorimer's election in 1909 was ac-
complished through corruption and
bribery-such is the finding of the
Helm committee of the senate of ILL
nois.
In a report submitted to the senate
the five Investigators assert that the
proof before them tends to show that
a large corruption fund was raised
and used in bribing members of the
last general assembly in order to in
duce them to vote for Lorimer for
senator
The committee reports that 1t
sought to follow up trails leading to-
ward the sources of the bribery fund,
but that it was blocked by the habeas
corpus decision of Judge Adelor Petit
in behalf OF Edward Tilden, George NJ.
Benedict and William c. Cummings.
1t reviews the evidence dispassion-
ately and gives its conclusion in the
following terse sentence:
Your committee has reached the
conclusion that the election of William
Lorimer before the last general as
sembly would not have occurred had
1t not been for bribery and colTup-
ton"
/ The finding is the direct opposite OF
! that reported by the subcommittee Of
the committee on privileges and cleo
stlons of the United States senate aftel
its hearings in Chicago last summer.
Brief as the conclusion is. the ex
4 pectation here is that it will afford
ample warrant for a reopening of the
Lorimer case by the United States
4 senate.
The report is signed by Douglas w
Helm, Samuel A. Ettelson, John c
Mckenzie, Logan Hay and Frank W
4 Burton.

QUINCY, May 1s.-The major por-
tion of the business section of Basco,
small town located north of Quincy |
on the Carthage branch near Carthage, |
was wiped out by the worst fire in the
history of the town yesterday after
noon. Several different buildings In
the chief business block were burned
to the ground at the loss of several
thousand dollars.
started from a spark alighting on the
roof of a meat market and coming
from the chimney of blacksmith
shop next door. The buildings were
all frame structures with the excep-
tion of one and the flames spread SO
rapidly that the citizens we're unable
to cope with them. They practically
ran their course and were not gotten
under control until all the material
to feed the licking flames was ex-
hausted
About a half hour after the fire
started and when 1t was seen that 1t
could not be checked by the bucket
brigades that composed the only fire
| fighting apparatus of the town, call
was sent to Quincy for aid. When 1t
| was learned by Chief Marriotte that
the only water supply Of the town was
from deep wells he thought 1t use
/ less to make the trip. The suction
| pipes of the local engines are not
] longer than sixteen or eighteen feet
and 1t would have been impossible to
/ pump water onto the flames. He
would have liked to offer some as
sistance to the citizens there but did
not see how he could. Mayor Garner
was willing to allow the apparatus to
go provided the chief thought that he
could do any good.
The buildings burned were two
/ butcher shops, a hardware store, a
restaurant, exchange Of the Missis
sippi Valley Telephone company, a
barber shop and blacksmith shop. a
conservative estimate of the loss was
placed at from $4,000 to $4,000.
The FIRE was first discovered about
o'clock in the butcher shop, owned
by Tom Smith, where it is thought
that spark from the black
smith shop belonging to Franz
Estes set fire to the roo
Of the building From the meal
market the fire then jumped to the
blacksmith shop, which burned rapid
ly. Then the barber shop, conducted
by Frank Dick, became ignited and
with the following buildings going il
rotation and within a very few mo
ments of each other: Frank Person:
restaurant, George Booths mea
market, the telephone exchange ant
Lawrence Clarke's hardware store
All were one story frame buildings
with the exception of the restauran
and hardware store, the former oeln!
a two-story brick building and tn
latter double story frame building,
The hardware store building was tn
last to burn and the fire was gottel
under control there about $50 O'Clock
During the latter stages of the fire

sent in response to call for help, di

A portion of the contents of all tn
buildings that were the last to bur
were saved. but most of them wer

food in the present day and age. as it
has been through all time. but we have
not always experienced the difficulty of
procuring good fresh meats. that some
times confronts us now. The vocation of
conducting a retail meat business is one
that not every one is adapted to as in
great many other lines Even some
who are engaged in this business are
not what they should be. We are proud
OF the fact though that the gentlemen
who conduct the market at the corner
OF Hewitt and Hoyt avenues, are ones
who do understand how to manage a
meat business. This market is second
to none, and you may rest assured that
everything you buy here is of the best
