PEACE SIGN NOTED
BY PRESIDENT TAFT
IN CHAPEL ADDRESS
Sees 1t in Abolition of Legal
lied Piracy in Time
of War.

That the recent abolition of legalized
piracy in times of war accomplished
through an agreement among nations,
is I'm indication Of the trend toward
worldwide peace, is the opinion of
President Taft.
In speaking favorably upon the rati-
flcatiCn of the peace treaties at a meet
Ing of the Junior order OF United Amer
lean Mechanics In the Wesley Chapel
Methodist Church, last night, President
Taft called attention to the fact that
until a few years ago nations consid-
cred peaceful merchant vessels cap
tured by war vessels as "spoils OF
war; He called attention to the
change In policy even since the Spanish
American war.
when we went to war with SPAIN"
peaceful merchantmen with the flag of
Spain sailing over her. under an &C.
knowledged law of the sea our vessel
had the right to take that merchant
man and bring her into port OF the
United States to invoke the action of a
court of justice, and have that court
say she was a lawful prize. and that
her captors were entitled to share the
proceeds of the sale that was made Of
her and her cargo. Now just tell me
what the difference Is between that and
piracy?'
President Taft said the national con-
science should be the same as the IN
dividual conscience.
Sitting beside the President was Sec
retary Charles Nagei. The President
was accompanied by Major Butt.

tives had come with written authority
from Governor Foss
Vera produced sealed and numbered

buying inquest of 1902. however, It con-
tained only trash. The clerk asked for
another day or two in which to con-
tinue to search for the missing testi-
mony. which must be a package of
several pounds.
Interesting developments are looked
for In quick order as Governor Foss
has had much difficulty In getting at
this evidence, and has expressed his
determination to search the matter to

Munsey's Describes
MomentOuS Lunch

After this, when a railroad president
strolls across the border to have lunch
with friend. he probably will see to
1t that the table is spread in the middle
OF the street. and that the conversation
Is reported by official stenographers." Z"
writes Charles Il. Van Loan, in The
Munsey for December. In an article.
"A Scare a Day in Wall Street." he
tells the following story:
"A rumor Of railroad consolidation
which amazed America, startled Can
ada, and shocked London, grew out Of
the most innocent circumstance in the
world. The president OF the Erie rail-
road, wandering about the country in
his private car, visited Montreal. and
while there took lunch with the presi-
dent of the Canadian Pacific-behind
closed doors.
That was absolutely all the founda-
ton there was to the story, yet before
the cigars came on the table in Mon
treal New York, London, and other
financial centers were throwing hand
springs over the report that the Cana
dian Pacific was closing a deal for the
purchase of the Erie. Away went the
Erie stock like skyrocket. Away went
the market"

when knights and ladies were su-
preme. 1t is a love affair with plen-
