The Tribune is in receipt Of a lrt-
tor from Mrs. Madeline Black, of the
american Peace and Arbitration
League of New York, in which she
calls attention Ia the fact that ncX'
sunday, November 20. has been d"s-
ignated as Unity sunday, for the
purpose of urging the ratification 81
the arbitration treaties now pending
between the United States and Great
britain and the United States and
France.
According TO Mrs Black, the treat
les stand IN gray" danger OF
failure OF ratification In the opin-
ion of those who have given the sub
jet much considerat ion. they repre-
sent the greatest step yet taken in
the movement for peace and the OPP
position is being negotiated By few
members OF the Foreign Relations
Committee Of the Senate which has
reported against them.
The President. the Secretary Of
State. the clergy aud the press are
urging the ratification of these treat
les and that the people come
to the support Of the government.
On next Sunday, sermons will be
preached throughout the country
upon the subject and special services

number of the ministers of Florida
have signified to Mrs. Black their
intention to observe the day by spe-
cial services and sermons.

Literature for Criminals.

Scientific burglary Is perhaps prac-
teal to q greater extent in America
than In England. They have even a
literature on the subject which the
police find difficult to suppress. And
some time ago huge volume was
openly published which elucidated all
the latest methods Of crime, from rob-
bling a till to blowing UT bank safe.
Most of the copies were seized, and
those that remain are nearly as valu-
able as first folio Shakespeares. On
this side of the Atlantic, however.
scientific instruction in the criminal
are has hitherto been confined to
magazine articles. although the pres
ent writer knows at least three books
that the up-to-date criminals would
find exceedingly useful.
One by a celebrated chemist incl
dentally divulges secrets that would
make the fortune Of a forger. An
other by well-known lawyer de.
scribes an infallible means Of prov
ing an alibi; while the third shows
the man who Is wanted" how to leave
the country by ways never watched
By the police.-Iondon Chronicle

SEYMOUR UNDERGOES
A SEVERE GRILLING

4 bad hole on the details of the
city charter when Mrs. Shores
tried to explain, to help Seymour
out and Mrs. Healy finally rap
ped Mrs. Hammond down and
stopped the argument.
Seymour jocularly remarked
that the women could give him
cards and spades and beat him on
the charter.
lie was asked how he stood on
the restricted district.
He said he was against the
Globe and Standard hotel.
But do you want restricted
district all over town" some ono
asked.
II will have to consider this
question when I get to It," said
Seymour.
other questions were being
hurled at him and there was q
manifest disposition to drive the
candidate into admitting that he
had stated before he announced
his candidacy that he was for
restricted district and that he had
suggested that the city should run
it., when one Of his friends came
to the rescue and said, well, you
said you are for the enforcement
of law, didn't you, and this thing
Is against the law?"
More Generaiities.
Eyes, l am for the enforcement
of law" said Seymour, and with
this glitterlng generality that
means nothing to politicians he
got out of the hole.
He was asked about the anti
treating ordinance.
He admitted he was against It,
but said 'if 1t can be enforced
would enforce It." He doubted II
1t could be enforced, however, but
said If 1t could 1t would be
good thing, and he would give 10
years off his life to see II the rule
In this country.
When pressed for details as TO
what he would do to enforce it
he lodged and said he would have
to take oath to enforce all laws
and that mayor must enforce aii
laws whether he believes in them
or not.
The anti-Seymour sentiment
seemed to be getting SO much the
better of the meeting that Mrs.
Eastman, one of the Seymour or
ators, got up to stem the tide. She
said Mayor Fawcett had not been
given such grilling by the wom-
en- as Seymour was getting but
that Seymour should be given
credit for standing fire.
Mrs. Hoyt couched the same
idea in a new form later and said
that Mayor Fawcett was afraid to
come out and face the women and
this brought a thunderous burst
of enthusiasm from the Seymour
women and they kept at It several
seconds. This was the big Sey-
mour hit of the day.
Seymour was finally allowed to
get off the rack.

N. Y.State Capitol
Gutted By Fire
Magnificent Building Gutted and May Be Total
Loss-Cost MANY Millions
(By United Press Leased Wire. }

(By United Press Leased Wire
ALBANY, N. Y, March 29.-
Fire scorched and water-stained,
showing net loss of $6,000,000,
not including thousands of pre-
cious and irreplacable documents,
the New York state capitol today
stands partly in ruins following
a fire that ragged for seven hours
In its courts and corridors.
The state library, with its 400,-
900 volumes, was destroyed. The
senate and assembly chambers are
smoke -blackened and soaked with
water.
The $27.000,000 that has been
poured into the capital by the
state for many generations has
been wasted. The great building,
the pride-and also the shame
of the Empire state, was planned
In 1863 to cost $4.000.000. The
construction proved too tempting
la chance for graft, and SO far $27,-
100000 has been spent upon 1t,
and still the original plans were
lunfulfilled.
The capitol is In such a state
of chaos today that no one can
tell what may be It's fate.
Smoke was seen issuing from
the northeast corner OF the build
ing shortly before 3 o'clock this
morning. Documents, ornate
lhangings and rich furnishing
were fuel upon which the flames
gained headway.
BY 3:3o o'clock the assembly
library had been wiped out with
its shelves OF documents and pa
