ARBITRATION
Yet He Was First to Send a Case
to the Hague.
He Wanted to Settle Alaskan
Boundary by Force.

Mohonk Lake, May 25.-Severe crit
icism of Theodore Roosevelts recent
public utterances regarding interna-
tional arbitration marked the speech
of J. w. Foster, former secretary of
state. today before the seventeenth an
| nual meeting of the Lake Mohonk con-
ference on international arbitration. At
the same time, said Mr.. Foster, mot
withstanding Mr.. Roosevelt's early de-
claration in opposition to arbitration in
general he has done more than any
other living man to advance this
cause
The Anglo-American treaty of arbi-
tration, Mr.. Foster said would have no
appreciable effect on the ornaments of
the world and that at present Germany
could hardly be expected to become a
party to a like treaty. Nevertheless,
las unlimited arbitration is extended
among the nations its beneficial effect
must become more and more apparent
and even the German government must
eventually find a modus vivendi with
the peaceful nations which will enable
it to restrict its armament and cease
to be menace to the world.

my address at this point when the full

life today has shown such an erratic
and inconsistent course in relation to
the subject of international arbitration.
His early public career was marked by
a strong hostility to arbitration in gen.
eral. In a magazine article as late as
1895 he attacked President Harrison for
submitting the Boring sea question to
arbitration.
But when he assumed the RESPONSE
bility of the presidency it was he
who sent the first case to The Hague
court and invited the nations in hos
tile array against Venezuela to resort
to the same court.
I'm the first instance he proposed to
settle the Alaskan boundary dispute by
sending the American army to occupy
and hold the territory by force but
finally yielded to the pacific advice of
Secretary Hay and in 1903 submitted
the question to the London commits
sion.
Notwithstanding his early declara-
ton in opposition to arbitration in gen.
eraI he has done more than any other
living man to advance this cause and
has well earned the Nobel peace prize.
Judging the future by the past, we may
expect this erratic but patriotic citizen
to fall in line with the onward march
toward international peace and give his
support to the great measure which
most ennobles the. administration of

|. N. TOWN is DEAD.
Pioneer Kansan Passes Away at Age
of Seventy-Six.

Isaac n. Town, of 407 Tyler street,
one of the oldest settlers of Kansas
and widely known in Topeka and
Shawnee county, died at his home
Wednesday afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock.
For the past four years his health
gradually had declined until recently
he suffered partial paralysis. Death
was caused by hemorrhage. He was
rs years old and had been in Kansas
Sc years.
Mr. Town had come to Kansas in
1866, driving across the plains to Leav-
enwcrth where he remained 10 years
before coming to Shawnee county. His
father, Marcus Town, made the journey
with him from the Illinois farm. He
returned for a time but soon came to
Kansas again and settled at Valencia.
A brother of Isaac Town, Reuben
Town, still lives at Valencia. A sister,
Elizabeth, was the first teacher in the
Topeka high school.
The spirit of the times of the devel-
opment of the west had led Mr.. Town
to many points. Born at Bennington,
N. Y, August 8, 1885, he was later ia
ken by his parents to Illinois. From
there at the age of 20 he had driven
with his father to Leavenworth. At
Leavenworth he served in the militia

ICE MEN ON CARPET.
Topeka Concerns May Compromise
Trouble With state.

Representatives aef the two Topeka
ice companies, the Mutual and the
Peoples, met with Attorney General
John S. Dawson this morning and
ing to any conclusion. Mr.. Dawson is
about to start an investigation based
on the charge that the two local COM
panieS have formed a trust to raise
the price of ice to the poorer classes
among their customers. 1t is pos
sible that the attorney general and the
ice companies may reach an agree
ment on prices that will be satisfac-
tory to every one and the investiga-
ton dropped.
Mr.. Dawson said today that he had
no power under the law to force the
companies to sell ice from the wagons
by the piece for cash instead of the
present method of selling ice by cou-
pom books. "The state can regulate
public utility concerns" said the at
torney general. "but it must first
designate company as coming under
never catalogued ice companies or gro
GERS or tailors as public corporations.
so these concerns can sell their wares
to whom they please and in any way
that seems best to them.
mot so street car company, for
this has been pronounced public
utility by the legislature. Such a COM
pany must account to the state for its
dealing with it's patrons to certain
degree.
But the state does have the power
to interfere where a charge is made
that two>ice companies have conspired
to raise the price of ice to a certain
class of customers If the charge is
found to be true the state can prose-
cute under the antitrust law. At the
meeting today the ice company rep
resentatives and myself went over the
situation and the books of the COM
pany were examined and the methods
explained. Nothing was done at this
meeting, but another conference will
be held next week, after which hope
to give out some news in connection
with the case. If we reach an agree
ment that is satisfactory the investi-
CATION will be dropped; if we do not,
then 1 will subpoena witnesses and
make the investigation as thorough as
possible. If this investigation bears
out the charges, then suit will be
started in the courts against the COM
panies under the antitrust laws of the
state An agreement will bring in
slant relief or results, whichever you
please, while a lawsuit might have to
continue for two years
It might be inferred from the at
torney generals statement that an
agreement was discussed by the terms
of which the price of the ten-pound
cakes to the poor people would be
lowered to a sum that " ou1d be fair
to the companies and reasonable to
the patrons.

The press Agents.

sit has been customary for rnany
years to appoint few newspaper men
on these committees. 1t is hardly fair
for Senator Stannard to single out two
or three reporters when he knows that
during his term in the senate report
ers from the Topeka Capital and other
newspapers were also named as secre-
taries for various senators or as clerks

The above is an unwarranted mis-
representation OF the legislative re-
porterS of the Daily Capital. Both the
house and senate reporters of this
paper were offered clerkships at the
last session of the legislature and de-
clined them. Mr.. House, of the Cap
ital, though not engaged in newspaper
work in either branch of the legisla-
ture, was, without solicitation on his
part, appointed to a senate c1erkship.

1t would be Just as we'll not to be
misleading about these things.
The record shows that during Sena-
tor STANDARDS senate term, as noted
by the State Journal above, Capital re-
porters in at least two instances held
these positions, namely, in the session
of 1909, when Senator STANDARDS term
in the present senate began, a repor-
ter for the Capital. held such a clerk
ship through that session; in the ses-
sion of 1911, J. E. House, of the Capital
was on the payroll for such a position
for ten days and resigned. In 1907 two
Capital men held such positions.
In following the customs referred to,
more Capital reporters have held these
positions than members of the staff of
any other paper.
At the last session the senate repor-
ter of the State Journal held no such
position, neither did any member of
the so-called senate lodge" or any
conservative senator appoint any State
Journal reporter, so a press agent "to
caricature reform members or play
up conservatives was hardly in
view. Mr.. Cain was a house reporter
and appointed by progressive Sena-
tor Brady; Senator Robertson is
Democrat.
The custom is, however, open to crit
icism and abuse, however straightfor-
ward and conscientious the newspaper
men may be-but it is senseless for th4
Capital to assume that it's reporters
have not held these positions, and more
than reporters of any other paper, Or
say that other reporters were appoint
ed by members of the senate lodge"

PARDONS ARE REFUSED.
Taft Declines to Release Morse and
Walsh From Prison.

Washington, May Is President
Taft has denied the applications for
the pardon of Charles w. Morse, of
New York, and John r. Walsh, of
Chicago, the two most prominent
bankers ever convicted and sentenced
banking laws.
In denying the Walsh application. the
president said in part:
John r. Walsh was convicted of
misapplication of the funds of the Chi
cago National bank while its presi-
dent.
His pardon is asked: First, because
his violations of laws were technical
and did not involve moral turpitude
and secured him no financial benefit;
second, because all the depositors of
his banks were paid through the sac
rif1ce of his private fortune; third, be-
cause he was, in doing what he did, at
tempting to upbuild industries of sub
stantial benefit to the country; fourth.
because he is an old man, in ill health,
not likely to live long, and one who
has borne a good reputation and lived
a life of simplicity and not of self
indulgence.
1.-The application for pardon must be
denied
In the Morse case Mr.. Taft said in
part:
"Charles w. Morse was convicted of
misapplication of funds of the National
Bank of North America and of making
false entries in the books of the bank
and in its reports to the comptroller
of the currency.
although his conviction technically
was on false entries there is no doubt
as to what the evidence showed gen.
orally, that Morse was engaged in large
private transactions in which the main
tenance of the price of certain stock in
the market was of Importance to him,

the contestants in the Paris to Madrid

defend himself by shooting at the bird
with his revolver. He landed abruptly at

On landing he met with slight accident.
Garros was not so fortunate as his COM

court asking that he be divorced from
Lucille Morns, his wife. Further, Mcrns
says that his wife attended the thea

that this action caused him great HUI

Then, too, Morns complains that Lucille
greeted him with abusive language
without provocation or his part. In
his petition, Morns states that in June,
July and August, 1870 Mrs. Morns went
on a strike. For three months the
downtrodden husband was compelled to
