FIRST DRAFT OF TREATY
PRACTICALLY COMPLETE
Main Ideas of Proposed Arbi-
tration Pact Brought Into
Concrete Form.

The first draft Of the proposed arbitra-
ton treaty between America and Great
Britain is practically complete.
The State DEPARTMENT officials after
many weeks Of patient work have sue
ceeded in crystallizing the main ideas of
the projectors of this great international
pact After the elimination of many un-
necessary suggestions the treaty has been
brought to concrete form.
The principal difficulty encountered was
in the consideration Of matters to be ex-
pected from the scheme for general arbi-
tration. 1t has been found after all that
the desired object can be attained satis-
factorily by the exchange of notes be-
tween the two governments explanatory
of the plan and scope of the treaty, leav-
outline.
Model for Other Conventions.
This was regarded as desirable in view
of the fact that the treaty is to serve as
a model for similar conventions to be
negotiated with other powers than Great
Britain.
So far the work has been done entirely

dor Bryce is in total ignorance Of the de-
tails. He will be supplied with the draft

why the Senate should not be afforded an

Pascual Orozco, one of the fight
ing leaders of the Madero army,
and was headed by Orozco him
self.
A demand was made upon Pro-
visional President Madero for
food and money for his ragged
and hungry soldiers. Madero was
unable to satisfy these demands
at the time, but his explanations
were peremptorily thrown aside
by the belligerent leader, Orozco,
and his soldiers, and Madero was
declared under arrest.
Finally the matter was settled
by Gen. Madero promising that

Proposed Amendment
To Traffic Ordinance
May Be Enacted

When the Ordinance committee next
meets they will consider a petition
sent to the Common Council last ev-
ening which has to do with a slight
but we'll working change in the traf-
fic regulations.
There is an ordinance now in ef-
feet that vehicles Overtaking another
must pass to the left. 1t is sought
to have this ordinance amended to re-
duce the danger to alighting passen-
gers on highways where there are two
lateral streets running in opposite
directions within 300 feet Of each 9TH
er. The amendment is that under
the other shall not pass until the
on either side of the street
The present ordinance follows:
"a vehicle overtaking another shall
pass to the left side of the overtaken
vehicle and shall not pull over to the
right until entirely clear Of it unlesS
Signaled or directed by the driver of
such overtaken vehicle to pass on the
right
The proposed amendment follows:
"a vehicle overtaking another on a
public street or highway, from which
two lateral public streets or highways
run in opposite directions within 800
feet of each other shall not pass said
overtaken vehicle if passengers are
until said passengers shall have
reached the sidewalk on either side
of said street, or until signaled or di-
rected by the driver of such overtak-
en- vehicle to pass on either side of

Bill Is Defeated
Proper Function for Public
Utility Commission Ar
CUES JudsOn and Senate
So Votes.
Omitted Press Dispatch.)

(UnlteQ PreSS D1Spatcn.)
Hartford, Aug. 15.-The Senate, to-
day passed the full train crew bill as
amended by Senator Marsden, of Mad
iSon, providing that the new public
utilities commission be given power
to designate the number of trainmen
to serve on any passenger or freight
train.
Senator Fem opposed the Marsden
amendment, he stated, because it
would call upon the commission to
act in the case of every particular
train about which complaint could be
made. He favored the original bill.
Senator Judson twitted Mr.. Fem
about his consistency in the utilities
matter, stating that Fem was en-
thusiastic in support of the utilities
bill but that now, when he could eX-
tend it's powers, he (Mr. Fenn) op-
posed the idea.
Senator Paddock, of Bridgeport,
quoted the public acts of 1909 to show
that the railroad commissioners had
power to act in this matter then but
that they had refused to act in one
instance.
Mr.. Judson replied that Senator
Paddock read the law but did not I'M
derstand it. The railroad commission
did not have power to increase train
crews, said Mr.. Judson, except to
protect the safety to other employees.
The pending measure was intended TO
increase the safety of passengers, said
Mr.. Judson and the public utilities
commission will now have power TO
order an increase in the crews when
ever they deem that public convent
ence and necessity requires it. 1t

WIEGS AND GREaINESSS.
Certain Facts Which Indicate Core
IatiOn Between the Two.
Baltimore NeWs.)

The rationale of bowlegs is an in
viting field for those who have a
taste for oddity. An admirable peg
on which to hang such speculationS
is offered by the news that the navel
recruiting station at Memphis has
just been closed because 80 per cent.
of the applicants were marked by a
curvature of the shank bones. They
came from the states of Arkansas,
Mississippi and Tennessee, and the
impression is left behind that this
physical inelegance is a geographical
popularity. The states in question
would find it easy to refute this as
sumption, but probably have no de-
sire to do so. The fact is that the
physical conformation usually de-
scribed as bandy-legged is but the out
ward and visible sign of an energy
and Mental activity which always re-
fleets lustre upon the possessor. In
the mellow maturity of achievement,
when his legs have ceased to excite
wonder and only his genius is re-
garded, his fellow townsmen point with
pride. to his name in blue books and
red books or carved on corner-stones.
Lest the Philistine rejoice, it should
be explained that this crescent shape
of the lower limbs is due to the fact
that nature has not compounded the
child with the usual amount of what
are known as earthly salts in the
bones. This deficiency renders the leg
bones soft and plant. Coupled there
with is the known fact that such
children are precocious. They wish
to walk before they can stand alone.
They are on their feet before the
bones are hard enough to sustain them,
and hence the curvature. This physi-
cal restlessness is but an evidence of
mental vigor which will not be de-
MED. 1t was in response to the de-
sire for broader outlook, for a
knowledge of alien lands and strange
peoples, that the applicants at Men,
phis offered their services to the navy.
We hazard the opinion that if the
truth were known it would be found
that every bow-legged child ever born
has wanted to go to sea. Otherwise
he has wished to join a circus or go
west and fight Indians.
Triflers will reply that this is true
of all boys, but there is no room for
trifling in grave question Of eth
biological tendencies. 1t would be easy,
moreover, to prove that it is only an
uneducated eye which despises the
graceful curve of the limbs rather
than the severe perpendicularity held
