U. s. ASKS FRANCE TO JOIN
PLAN FOR WORLDS PEACE
Draft Of Arbitration Treaty 10 Sub
mitted to Ambassador For
Great Britain Also.

WASHINGTON, May 18.-The prin-
ciple OF arbitration of practically all
disputes between nations, including
even questions of vital interest and
national honor, assumed vitally yes
terday when Secretary of State Knox
submitted to the British and French
at Washington the
draft OF convention to serve as q
basis Of negotiations. The fact
that this world movement would
be inaugurated with France as we'll
as Great Britain came as a great sur
prise as It was generally understood
that only the United States and Eng
land were concerned In the initial
steps.
When President Taft last Decem-
ber. enunciated the doctrine of
comprehensive arbitration, he re-
ceived quick response from Am
bassadors Bryce and Jusserand
that Great Britain and France were
willing to begin negotiations with
this country for the peaceful set
tlement of practically all differences
that may arise. The president in
structed Secretary Knox immediate.
ly to crystalize the arbitration
proposition which this government
would offer to foreign nations.
The secretary has evolved a
document, which has received the
approval OF the president and the
other members Of his cabinet.
Recognizing that there may be
questions of poricy and other mat
ters likely to force nations to the
brink Of war but which no people
would be willing to arbitrate, the
tentative draft OF the treaty pro-
vides that differences that either
party consider within this category
shall be referred to a commission
OF inquiry empowered to mako
recommendations for their settle
ment. In this connection the treaty
will take another advance step by
binding the disputants to arbitra-
ton In case the commission OF in
quiry declares that the controversy
shall be arbitrated.

NEGRO MOURhs
DEAD POLICEMAN
Pleads for Last Look at Face of Lieut..
Walpole, "Des Bes' Friend All
He'd on Earth"

Into police headquarters, Thursday
morning. there came Negro. Tears
were coursing down his cheeks.
"Ah wants to see Mistah Waipole,
befoh dey puts him in de groun'," he
said.
He was asked why he took such a
deep interest In the officer, who lost
his life In the explosion that wrecked
the building at No. 1877 Bates-st., early
Wednesday morning.
He was de bes friend All he'd on
earth" the Negro explained. 1T wus
20 years ago since All fust knew him.
All wuz wild young buck, but Mistah
Walpole took me under his wing an
he got me to save the fust dollah All
evan saved. Now All got $500 and
All can lay 1t all to him.
Arthur Johnson is the Negro and
he is porter in the barber shop across
from police headquarters, where Lieut..
Walpole was accustomed to go for his
daily shave. Arthur was the proud
man who gave him his daily shoe
shine.
Arthur Johnson's sorrow over the
officers death Is only one instance OF
the regard In which he was held by
members of the lower strata. John
son is only one Of hundreds to whom
the big-souled officer pointed the right
way.
Capt Alphonse Baker has charge OF
the funeral arrangements. The burial
will be Friday morning from the home
Of Barney Quinn, No. 455 Fifteenth, a
cousin of the lieutenant. Six police
lieutenants will act as pallbearers and
seven platoons Of police, under COM
mand of Capt. Baker, will escort the
body to the cemetery.

ASK OFFICIALS
TO SPARE WOMAN
Hundreds Petition Canadian Cabinet
Not to Execute 500 Woman Who
Killed Husband.

. SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. May
1S.--Dozens OF women are busy In 500.
Ont, today circulating petitions to
prevent the execution of Mrs. Angel
ino Neopolitana, sentenced to be hang
ed, August 9. for the murder OF her
husband. April IL.
The movement for q communication
of sentence has been taken up with
will in Toronto and many other
points In Canada and already a large
number Of signatures, among which
are those of the most influential men
and women Of the country, have been
secured.
The date of the execution was ad-
vanced by the court to permit the
birth of the woman's child. The peti.
tions declare that the jury were all
free Of sentiment and
displayed little mercy In returning n
verdict which they knew would tear
the child from its mothers arms and
place a blot on Canada's name.

CANADA CAN MAKE PAPER
CHEAPER THAN UNITED STATES
Tariff Board Makes Extensive investi-
cation and Submits Data to
the Senate.

WASHINGTON; May 1S,-President
Taft today sent to the senate the tar
iff boards full report OF its investiga-
tion of the pulp and news print paper
industry In the United States and Can
ada.
Summarized briefly, the report says
that a ton Of news print paper Is made
In Canada for $685. less than II Is made
i'm the United States. The average
Canadian cost is given at $27.53 and
the average cost in the United States
at $32.SS. The duty on a ton OF news
print paper under the present tarin
is 1915.
The document presents extensive
tables. comparisons and other tabula-
tions. Il is declared to be the most
complete thing Of It's kind ever at
tempted. The entire force Of the tariff
board has been engaged for months.
Several factors entering into the in
creased cost of manufacture In the
United States are taken up exhaustive
ly. The principal increases are said
TO be due to the fact that ton Of
pulp wood costs nearly twice as much
I'm the United States as IL does In
Canada, and that many Of the Ameri-
can mffls have much older and less
efficient equipment than the Canadian
mills. which is said to be responsible
for a large increased manufacturing
cost.
In the cost of labor employed, the
differences in the two countries are
shown to be very small.
To the question Of how far Amer
lean mills are on an equal basis for
competition with the Canadian mills
in the matter OF equipment, the report
presents the answer that the total
average equipment and efficiency Is
slightly better for Canada than for the
United States.

Ask the average man what

Weather Crop Bulletin,

For the week ending May %. 1911.
With the exception of high winds
the past week was ideal for farm
work and the growth of vegetation
The average temperature was to 10
degrees above the normal, and while
the rainfall was deficient light to

the first and last days of the week
and all crops made unprecedented
growth under the effects of the high
Temperature and needed moisture
Temperatures in excess of 80 degrees
were general on Wednesday, Thurs

has been cultivated once and some of
lit twice. The stand is excellent eX-
cept on sod ground where worms have
done considerable damage and caused
some replanting. The soil is in fine
filth, the fields are unusually clean

color. Winter wheat is heading in

meadows and pastures are doing we'll
generally, but in a few localities and
Especially in the southeastern coun-
ties these crops need more rain. The
hay crop will, however, be below the
average in all sections. Potatoes are
growing rapidly notwithstanding the
fact that bugs are numerous and are
doing considerable damage. Fruit and
gardens still give promise of boun-
teous yields.-Geo. M. Chapel, Sta

The bubonic plague Is due to the
