AMERICAN PEACE BODY
TO WORK FOR TREATY
Society Now Having Head
quarters Here-OIdest in
the Country.

The American Peace Society which has
just moved its headquarters from Boston
to Washington and opened Offices in the
Colorado building. will bend its energies to
aid in the adoption of the administration 8
arbitration treaty with Great Britain.
DR.. Benjamin F. Trueblood general Sec
rotary of the society. said today that the
organization would do all in its power to
make public opinion favorable to the pro-
posed treaty. He added that it was the
hope of the society to have adopted a
similar arbitration treaty, embracing all
the nations.
Oldest Peace Body.
The American Peace Society has been
in existence since 1S.S. and is the Oldest
organization in the United States devoted
to promotion of universal peace. 1t was
organized in New York and moved to
Hartford in 1885. remained there two
years and then went to Boston. The be-
lief that Washington. as the capital Of the
nation. centrally located between north
and SOUTH. Is the proper place for the
headquarters Of the society, which is ma
uonal in scope, has led to the change in
location.
Senator Burton of Ohio is president of
the society. and at the annual meeting of
a board Of directors was elected, includ-
ing ten men who may be classed as
Washingtonians, although several OF
them are members of Congress.
The Board Of Directors.
They are Senator Burton. DIR. Trueblood,
George W. White, who is treasurer Of
the society also; Representative Barth-
oldt of Missouri, Adds B. Browne, s. Ed
gar Nicholson, jackson II. Ralston,
George f. Roberts, director OF the mint !;
Alfred c. True and Representative Sam
uel W. Mccall Of Massachusetts. The
other fifteen members Of the board of di-
rectors have been selected from various
parts Of the country.
Senator Burton will announce the ap-
pointment of an executive committee
within the next few days This COM
mittee will look after the administrative
work of the society. A Washington
branch of the society has been organized
and will. it is expected. take a prominent
part in the work of the society. There
are seventeen other branches scattered
throughout the country.

CONGRESS CALLED UPON
TO SAVE NIAGARA FALLS
Passage of Senator Burton's
Joint Resolution Before
June 20 Urged.

Unless Senator Burton's Senate joint
resolution No. 3, which continues the
provisions Of the Burton bill during the
life OF the Canadian treaty. is not passed
before June 20. Niagara Falls as a world
wonder will be no more, is the assertion
made in an appeal by the American Civic
Federation to the people generally to
urge the passage of the joint resolution.
Forty million dollars worth of capital,
1t declares, is fighting for the possession
Of one-quarter Of the water flowing over
Niagara Falls. j. Horace Mcfarland OF
the American Civic Federation is waging
q campaign to prevent it. The situation
it is explained, is peculiar. The water
ways treaty with Canada, signed jan
uary ID. 1900, while apparently limiting
the amount Of water which might be
taken from the falls. has on the contrary
increased this diversion. The power de-
taEe Of the outside limitations Of the
treaty, and today are demanding
what will come to IS per cent more
water than Is now being drawn into
the tunnels for the purpose OF turning
the giant turbine engines.
The Burton Resolution.
wednesday the Senate committee on
foreign relations will have before it
joint resolution No. offered by Senator
Burton. This resolution. It Is declared.
has been prepared to save Niagara from
the interests which are attempting to
wrest additional free power for their
private use. If the status quo of the
water flow is to be preserved, it Is ar
gued. the Burton resolution must pass
both houses without amendment Other
wise, say the friends Of the falls. opera
lions ininical to the welfare Of Niagara
will be started up according to plans al
ready maturing.
1t is estimated that the failure Of the
Burton resolution will mean an increased
income of approximately $5.OOONO an
nually for the companies back Of the op-
position. The method by which the
amount Of water necessary to yield this
enormous return can be taken under
cover Of the law is simple.

His education was obtained at the acad-
emies in West Chester and Lock Haven,

ever. before graduation. to enter the
provost marshars Office al Wlliamsport.
Pa. In the latter city he continued 10
reside for about four years, engaging III
mercantile pursuits, and then moved to
West Virginia.
In West Virginia Legislature.
Mr.. Rogers moved to Charleston in

ginia.
In 1873 he came to Washington to

lowing year entered the government
service as a clerk in the Treasury De-
partment Congress had just enacted
legislation for the redemption at the

the national banks, the destruction of
outworn notes and other matters con-
corning the relations Of the banks with
the Treasury. and had directed the or
ganization Of a bureau for this purpose
in the office Of the treasurer of the
United States. Mr.. Rogers was at once
assigned to this work. The entire sys-
tenn of the bureau. both in outline and
in practical details, was his creation.
OF course, the rapid expansion Of the
business of the bureau involved a
corresponding elaboration Of the de-
tails Of Its work, and Mr.. Rogers en-
tire service in the Treasury was de-
voted to creative and executive work,
at all times carrying a heavy burden
of responsibility.

because 1t is not worth an owners
while to pay his fee for the minor
races. Wootten led him in the number
of wjns last year. but the American
has Won more races than any other
jocke' up to date this season., and his
percentage is some five points better
than that of his nearest rival.
Maher is undoubtedly the most sue
cessful jockey in England today. He
is probably making more money than
any other jockey ever made in Eng
land.
AS to just how much Maher makes
in a season it is impossible to form an
estimate that would be worth any
thing. Aside from his retaining fees
and his riding fees, he is in receipt of
more presents from owners than any
other Jockey riding. He has ridden
three Derby winners. and it is Gus
tomary for the owners of horses that
win the blue ribbon of the English
turf to treat their jockeys handsomely.
AS much as $4,000 has been given
the lucky jockey by a delighted owner,
and $4,000 has several times changed
hands. Besides his Derby wins, Maher
has ridden to victory In almost every
big fixture Of the English course, some
OF which have brought In much more
than the Derby stake TO his employers.

MANY EAGER TO FIGHT
PAPKE ON HIS RETURN,

Now that Adolphus Wolgast has re-
moved the last obstacle in the way of
his unquestioned claim to the light
weight championship of the world, and
has announced a six months retire
ment, or until other victims are
brought forward to slaughter, the in
terest Of ring followers turns t. the
doings of one William Papke Of Illi-
nOiS.
Papke is the self styled middleweight
king of the universe. and as he is due
back soon from a triumphant tour
around the world. it is natural to sup
pose that when he does set foot on his
native shores things will begin to hun,
In the division over which he has be-
come dictator.
There are several good boys in this
country who are eager to tilt with
Papke for the worlds crown, chief
among them being Frank Klaus, a
bear cat from Pittsburg; Wild Bob
Moha, the original cave man Of Mil
waukee; Jack Dillon, an Indiana cy-
clone; Jimmy Clabby, a laughing wiz
ard who is eager to joust with all 1853
Founders, and Johnny Thompson. the
Illinois farmer, who vigorously dis
putes Papke's claim to championship
honors and sets forward in support Of
his contention a twenty round decision
that he received over Papke in farotr
Australia.
In addition to the foregoing there are
a number Of husky middles who insist
On being considered in the running.
Eddie McGoorty of Oshkosh. Hugo
Kelly, Chicago; Jimmy Gardner and
Jack (Twin) Sullivan have champion
ship aspirations and their fo!lowings
are large ones.
In all probability Papke will not re-
main idle long after his return home.

IOWA TEACHERS MEET IN KEOKUK
Ii Is the Seventeenth Annual Gather
ing of the Southeastern Associa-
tion-One Thousand Present.

Keokuk, Ia, April 6.-When Presi-
dent Frank l.. Smart of Davenport
called to order today the seventeenth
annual meeting of the Southeastern
Iowa Teachers association more than
a thousand members were present, the
large attendance being due to the fact
that most of the school boards had
allowed the teachers TO come here for
the three days convention without
loss Of salary. The program arranged
includes lectures by John e. Gunckel
Of Toledo, the newsboyS' friend" A.
NJ. DeVoe, state superintendent of
Iowa; c. p. Cary, state superintendent
OF Wisconsin; DR.. w. c. Wilcox of the
University of Iowa; DR.. a. e. Winship

An interesting feature of the meet
ing will be a trip over the construc-
ton plant of the Mississippi River
Power company, which is building the
greatest dam, water-power and cleo
trical installation in the world. The
teachers will be given explanatory lee
lures on the engineering, economic
and sociological factors in this dam
ing of the Mississippi river at the
foot of the Keokuk rapids.

INSURGENTS NOT RECOGNIZED
THEY MUST ACT WITH REGULAR
REPUBLICANS.
The New Rules Adopted Provide for
Few Changes-Six Old Com
mitttees Abolished.

Washington, April 6.-The insurg-
ents are still an integral part of the
Republican party, at least in the opin-
ion of the Democratic majority of the
House. This fact was brought out in
the fight over the adoption of new
rules for the House. The insurgents
asked the privilege of introducing
amendments of their own, but were
told any amendments they might
have would have to be incorporated in
those of the regular Republicans.
President Taft's message urging
Canadian reciprocity was read in both
houses. The fact that its contents
were known in advance robbed it of
any interest. The Senate adjourned
as soon as the message was read and
will mark time" till the House does
something.
The House took up at once the adop-
ton of its new rules, limiting general
debate to four hours, to be equally
divided, and granting the privilege of
offering only one substitute set Of
rules.
The insurgents pleaded for the priv
ilege of separate amendments, but
we're told by the Democratic leaders
that their amendments would have to
be included in the proposed Republi-
can substitute.
The rules offered by the Democrats,
and which will be adopted, provide
comparatively few changes. They pro
vide for the election of committees in
stead of their appointment by the
speaker, and enlarge the membership
Of several of the committees. Six old
committees are abolished.
The principal change is a rule which
permits germane legislation on an APP
preparation bill when it tends to re
trench expenditures. The Democrats
continue calendar Wednesday," and
enlarge the rule for the discharge Of
committees.
